Bombshell Report on 2016 Russia Narrative & DOJ Nominee Battles

Declassified Report on 2016 Russia Narrative

• 💡 Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified a September 2020 House Intelligence Committee report that claims President Obama and his staff knowingly used unreliable intelligence to create the 2016 Russia interference narrative.
• 🎯 The report suggests this was done to undermine the incoming Trump administration, with intelligence officials allegedly mischaracterizing information and relying on dubious sources like the debunked Steele dossier.
• 🔑 The report found that the intelligence community assessment (ICA) on Putin's preference for Trump did not meet tradecraft standards and was based on unclear, uncertain, or biased information.
• ⚠️ Analysts reportedly objected to using the Steele dossier, with then-CIA Director Brennan allegedly overruling them and stating, "Yes, but doesn't it ring true?"
• 🔍 The Russians allegedly possessed more damaging information on Hillary Clinton, including potential criminal acts and evidence of her "psycho emotional problems," which they did not release.
• ⚖️ The DOJ has announced the creation of a strike force to assess the evidence publicized by DNI Gabbard and investigate potential legal steps.

Senate Obstruction of Trump Nominees

• 🚀 President Trump's nominees for key US attorney positions are facing significant resistance, described as "Senate stonewalling" and "judicial overreach."
• 📌 In New Jersey, interim US Attorney Alina Haba's term is ending, and judges appointed her deputy, Desiree Lee Grace, instead of reappointing Haba, a move the DOJ called "rogue."
• 🏛️ The DOJ fired back by removing Grace, asserting the president's right to control his executive branch and that judges cannot appoint their own prosecutors.
• 🗣️ Will Chamberlain of the Article 3 Project believes the Trump administration will win this battle, citing Supreme Court trends that favor presidential removal powers.
• 🚫 Similarly, Trump nominee Bill Asalei for US attorney in the Central District of California is stalled due to lack of support from Democrat senators, influenced by the "blue slip" custom.
• ⏳ Democrats are accused of deliberately slowing down appointments, hindering President Trump's ability to run the government effectively.
