The Biden administration’s newest addition to the Department of Justice’s National Security Division, Susan Hennessey, is a Russia collusion hoaxer who deleted hundreds of tweets boosting lies about the Trump administration before she announced her new position.

Hennessey, who formerly worked for Democrat think tank and Russia collusion hoax organization the Brookings Institution, deleted hundreds of rants peddling lies about Michael Flynn, Carter Page, and FISA, boosting the Steele dossier, and pushing other leftist collusion talking points.

Not only did Hennessey openly adopt and echo corporate media narratives alleging that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election, but she also accused the Republican and his team of lying to the public while encouraging trust in the Intelligence Community that falsified information on spy warrant applications.

Hey @Susan_Hennessey, why did you delete this along with hundreds of other Russiagate tweets? https://t.co/sGenwhZXXT pic.twitter.com/qd0d16DcQM

National security and intelligence legal scholar @Susan_Hennessey sums up the new Russia-Administration collusion issues the weekend talk shows now cannot avoid amidst all the other horrifying news on police violence, social media, the WTO and more than 100 thousand covid dead. pic.twitter.com/rk00xkZVvH

When confronted with evidence that the FBI lied to justify spying on Page and that the Steele dossier was not credible, Hennessey changed her tune of radical skepticism about the Trump administration to covering and making excuses for the Intelligence Community.

In addition to tweeting, Hennessey also accused the DOJ under former U.S. Attorney General William Barr of being partisan and “damaged and warped in ways that will take years to repair.”

Hennessey’s new position in the Biden administration was cheered on by corporate media journalists and others who willfully engaged in spreading misinformation about the disproved Steele dossier and repeatedly took partisan stances against the Trump administration.
Great news – for you and DOJ. Congratulations.

While corporate media mouthpieces raved about Hennessey’s new position, others called out the Biden administration for rewarding her partisan lies with power.
Another way to think about this: a principal driver of the Trump/Russia conspiracy fantasies that dominated US political and media culture for 4-5 years was just rewarded for her efforts with a powerful role in the actual National Security State apparatus.

This woman is one of the worst purveyors of Russia collusion lies. Her reward is a job at Biden's DOJ.
Huge failure by Barr not to hold anyone to account.
Huge failure by Trump not to declassify. https://t.co/yrxLrISM2j

Susan Hennessy is Louise Mensch with more powerful friends.

Hennessey is not the only person in the Biden administration to face criticism for her tweets. In March, the White House pulled Neera Tanden’s nomination to lead the Management and Budget Office after her tweets insulting Republicans and moderates dinged her chances of becoming successfully confirmed.
