Jim Jordan on Obama Administration's Role in Trump-Russia 'Hoax'

Allegations of Intelligence Manipulation

• 💡 Rep. Jim Jordan alleges that President Obama led the manufacturing of intelligence assessments to target President Trump.
• 🎯 Evidence suggests a meeting on December 9, 2016, where intelligence assessments were allegedly manipulated to falsely link Trump to Russia.
• 🔑 The goal was to create a narrative of Trump-Russia collusion, which Jordan describes as a "garbage" and "incredible scam."

The Trump Tower Briefing and Dossier Leak

• 🚀 On January 6, 2017, key figures including Brennan, Clapper, and Comey briefed President-elect Trump at Trump Tower.
• 🧠 This briefing, which included discussion of the Steele dossier, is described as a setup to undermine Trump's presidency.
• 📰 The subsequent leak of the dossier information to the press amplified the narrative, leading to the Mueller investigation.

Calls for Accountability and Hearings

• 🗣️ Tulsi Gabbard is credited with bringing forward information, calling the events an "egregious weaponization and politization of intelligence."
• 🏛️ Jordan confirms the House Judiciary Committee is reaching out to the Attorney General, FBI Director, and Director of National Intelligence to testify in September.
• ⚠️ The committee aims to present the full story and hold individuals accountable for manipulating intelligence.

Patterns of Misinformation

• 🔍 A pattern is identified where the FBI allegedly possessed the truth but allowed misinformation to spread, impacting elections.
• 💻 This is compared to the handling of the Hunter Biden laptop, where 51 former intel officials falsely labeled it a Russian operation, despite the FBI knowing it was real.
• ⚖️ Jordan emphasizes the importance of holding these individuals accountable for their actions, which he states began in December 2016.
