Haspel Bombshell: Russia Probe Just Got Messy

Calls for an investigation into former CIA Director Gina Haspel’s role in the Russia collusion saga are heating up, raising new questions about what really happened behind the scenes in the intelligence community—and whether Americans will ever get straight answers.

At a Glance

Peter Schweizer, President of the Government Accountability Institute, publicly calls for a formal investigation into Gina Haspel’s actions during and after the Russia collusion probe.
Haspel served as CIA London station chief during the height of the Russia investigation and as CIA Director during Trump’s presidency.
London, under Haspel’s watch, was the epicenter for intelligence related to the Steele dossier, which fueled the surveillance of Trump associates.
Despite mounting concerns and calls for accountability, no formal investigation into Haspel’s role has yet been announced.

Schweizer Demands Accountability for Intelligence Leadership

Peter Schweizer, a name that has become synonymous with demanding government accountability, is at it again—this time, zeroing in on Gina Haspel, former CIA Director and London station chief. Schweizer is urging Congress and oversight bodies to dig into Haspel’s involvement in the so-called “Russia collusion” intelligence that upended the Trump presidency and divided the nation.

According to Schweizer, Haspel was not just a bystander but a central player, overseeing the London station when much of the controversial intelligence, including the infamous Steele dossier, was generated and used to justify investigations into Trump’s campaign. The fact that she later became CIA Director under President Trump only deepens the intrigue and suspicion. Schweizer points out that Haspel’s assignment to London in 2014 by then-CIA Director John Brennan was highly unusual for someone of her seniority, placing her at the heart of the intelligence flows that would later become the backbone of the Russia narrative.

Schweizer’s assertions cut through the usual bureaucratic fog. He directly asks: what role did Haspel play in creating, perpetuating, or perhaps even suppressing the Russia collusion narrative? He notes, “She was the CIA director, appointed by Donald Trump. She certainly had access to this material. It’s interesting to me that she was the London chief of the CIA in the 2000s. In 2014, CIA Director John Brennan sent her back there, which was a highly unusual move, and she was there during this period.

Much of the fake Russia collusion intel, from Steele and others, was coming out of London. So, what role did she play in creating this? And also, what role did she play in suppressing it when she was CIA director and she was supposed to be serving Donald Trump rather than the CIA establishment?” The public hasn’t seen a formal investigation, but Schweizer’s questions are echoing across conservative circles—and for good reason.

Intelligence Community Faces Renewed Scrutiny

Few topics have divided Americans more than the Russia collusion investigation. At its core is the issue of trust—can the intelligence community be relied upon to act in the country’s best interest, or did bureaucrats exploit their power for political ends? Gina Haspel’s tenure as both London station chief and CIA Director put her at the intersection of these debates. London was not just a geographic outpost; it was the nerve center for information that would eventually be used to obtain surveillance warrants against Trump associates, all based on the now-discredited Steele dossier. What happened in those smoky back rooms of international intelligence? The American people deserve to know.

Evidence cited in congressional reports shows that Haspel was informed of efforts to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story as well, further entangling her in the web of high-level intelligence decision-making. With every new revelation, it becomes harder to ignore the possibility that powerful actors within the CIA may have shaped, manipulated, or buried crucial information—not for national security, but for political gain. Yet, as of today, no official body has launched a formal investigation into Haspel’s actions, despite growing calls from watchdogs and members of Congress. This is the sort of bureaucratic stonewalling that drives Americans crazy and erodes faith in the very institutions meant to protect us.

Calls for Oversight and Reform Grow Louder

The consequences of failing to investigate Haspel’s actions could be dire. Short-term, the intelligence community faces another wave of public skepticism and congressional scrutiny. Long-term, the agency risks even greater politicization and lasting reputational damage. Americans are sick and tired of seeing unelected bureaucrats wield unchecked power, especially when it comes at the expense of transparency and truth. If our intelligence agencies can be weaponized against political opponents, what’s to stop them from targeting ordinary citizens next?

The push for answers is about far more than one person’s career. It’s about restoring trust, enforcing accountability, and making sure that no official—no matter how high-ranking—is above the law or scrutiny. This saga underscores the urgent need for real oversight, robust reform, and a return to basic American principles: government of, by, and for the people—not for the benefit of entrenched insiders and faceless agencies. The American people demand and deserve nothing less.
