- 🎯 Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified documents alleging the Obama administration manufactured and politicized intelligence to create a narrative about Russian influence in the 2016 election.
- 💡 These documents reportedly show that prior to the election, intelligence assessments indicated Russia lacked the intent and capability to hack US elections.
- ⚠️ Following President Trump's 2016 victory, early assessments suggested no foreign manipulation, but officials claim intelligence was later manufactured to form the basis of the Mueller probe.
Timeline of Alleged Intelligence Manipulation
- 🗓️ A senior intelligence official allegedly pulled a Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) on December 8th, 2016, hours before it was due, and it was never published.
- 🏛️ The following day, December 9th, 2016, the Obama White House convened a classified National Security Council meeting to discuss Russia.
- 🔄 Shortly after this meeting, an email from then-DNI Clapper's executive assistant tasked the intelligence community with a pivot on Russia election meddling, leading to an assessment that contradicted previous findings.
Allegations of a 'Treasonous Conspiracy'
- 🚨 DNI Gabbard is quoted as stating there was a "treasonous conspiracy" in 2016 committed by officials at the highest levels of government.
- 🗣️ Congressman Mike Lawler expressed that President Obama needs to answer for how his administration allegedly changed reports to appear as though Russia interfered, thereby furthering a "scam" to undermine President Trump.
- 🇺🇸 The narrative suggests institutions meant to uphold democracy were used to undermine it, with specific day-by-day changes in intelligence reports after meetings with Obama.
Accountability and Further Investigations
- 🔍 Congressman Lawler emphasized the need for accountability, noting that a special counsel investigation did not uncover this information.
- ⚖️ The declassified documents are being referred to the Department of Justice for further investigation and action, with a focus on accountability to ensure such events do not happen again.
- 📄 The documents reportedly show that intelligence professionals concluded Russia did not interfere with election outcomes, but this assessment was allegedly perverted by politicized individuals around Obama to create a false narrative.
The Steele Dossier's Role
- 📑 It is alleged that the Steele Dossier, paid for by Hillary Clinton, was discredited but became a significant part of the information used for FISA warrants, enabling spying on Trump's campaign and transition team.
- 🚫 Intelligence professionals reportedly protested the inclusion of the Steele Dossier in assessments, as it was considered not credible by many within the intelligence community.
