- 🎯 Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard presented evidence alleging the Obama administration manufactured intelligence to subvert President Trump's 2016 election victory.
- 💡 The claims suggest a conspiracy to sow discord and sabotage Trump's successor, using politicized intelligence as justification for smears.
- ⚠️ The "Russia collusion hoax" is described as a massive fraud perpetuated on the American people, with former officials like John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey implicated.
Declassified Report Findings
- 🔍 A declassified 2020 report from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence found no direct information that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to help elect President Trump.
- 📈 Instead, Russia was actively preparing for a Hillary Clinton victory, and Putin held back compromising material on Clinton until after the election.
- 🚫 The report indicates that the intelligence community assessment ordered by President Obama intentionally suppressed intelligence showing Putin's post-election plans.
Use of the Steele Dossier
- 📄 The intelligence community assessment used the discredited and unverified Steele Dossier as a source document, despite its known flaws.
- 🤥 CIA Director John Brennan is accused of lying about the dossier's inclusion and overruling senior CIA officers who challenged its use.
- ⚖️ The dossier was reportedly used in FISA applications to spy on members of the Trump campaign team.
Obama Administration's Actions
- 🏛️ Evidence suggests President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment they knew was false.
- 🚫 They manufactured findings from shoddy sources, suppressed contradictory intelligence, and disobeyed traditional intelligence community standards.
- 📢 This manufactured narrative was promoted to the American people and the media to undermine President Trump's legitimacy and launch a "coup" against his administration.
Calls for Accountability
- ⚖️ Director Gabbard has referred documents to the Department of Justice and FBI for investigation into potential criminal implications.
- 🗣️ Republicans are calling for accountability, with some suggesting former President Obama could be implicated in criminal behavior.
- 📰 Critics, however, dismiss the claims as baseless and a distraction, pointing to bipartisan reports that found no evidence of Trump campaign collusion with Russia.
