Obama's Alleged "Treason": Matt Taibbi Explains the Bombshell 2020 House Intel Report

The 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA)

• 🎯 The 2017 ICA, released just before Obama left office, concluded that Vladimir Putin interfered in the 2016 election and "aspired to help President elect Trump's election chances."
• ⚠️ This assessment was influenced by directives from President Obama and senior political appointees, particularly CIA Director John Brennan.

The Buried 2020 House Intelligence Report

• 🔍 A 2020 House Intelligence Committee report, largely completed by a team assembled by then-chairman Deon Nunes, has only recently come to light.
• 🔒 This report's findings were locked in a secure vault and classified, preventing its release until recent intercession by President Trump.
• 📊 The report concluded that the 2017 ICA was subject to unusual directives and was not properly coordinated, leading to its publication without significant challenges.

Flawed Evidence Used by Brennan

• 💡 Brennan allegedly pushed for the inclusion of the discredited Steele Dossier in the ICA's annex, despite a CIA officer's concerns about its reliability.
• 🗣️ When confronted with the dossier's flaws, Brennan reportedly responded, "Yes, but doesn't it ring true?"
• 🗑️ The report details three other pieces of alleged evidence used to support the conclusion of Putin's preference for Trump, all of which were initially rejected by the CIA as unreliable.
• 🧩 These included an ambiguous single-sentence fragment, an email with no sender or date, and an assertion based on general observations about human rights preferences.

Implications of the Findings

• 📉 The evidence used to claim Russian interference specifically to help Trump is described as "lamer than we suspected" and "absurd."
• 💥 This revelation undermines the basis for the collusion narrative and suggests a deliberate effort to push a flawed conclusion.
• 🧐 The findings highlight a potential scandal involving the manipulation of intelligence to fit a desired political narrative.
