In 2016, President Obama called me the second most dangerous man in the world. My offense was simple. I was advising Candidate and then President-Elect Donald J. Trump on national security policy.

This led to the initiation of Operation Crossfire Razor in the summer of 2016 (during the campaign), before I held any official position or served as National Security Advisor.

As the senior national security campaign advisor with thirty-three years in uniform and former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, I was targeted for my knowledge and fierce independence.

The Steele dossier, FISA warrants, and coordinated surveillance were all intended to undermine my credibility and reputation before I could serve our country.

Ms. Svetlana Lokhova faced similar treatment, being falsely accused as a Russian agent (a complete lie), while I ended up being prosecuted on unfounded charges (all of which were eventually dismissed for egregious government misconduct).

Both myself and Ms. Lohkova were seen as obstacles. This is what happens when a weaponized intelligence community, Justice Department, and the most senior law enforcement apparatus decide a presidential election outcome is unacceptable (can you say coup d’etat).

I strongly encourage you to read "The Grand Conspiracy" to review the most comprehensive and readable documented record of Crossfire Hurricane (eg., Russia-Gate).
