Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released declassified documents on Friday, claiming the existence of a secret conspiracy led by the Obama administration to undermine President Donald Trump with the Trump-Russian Collusion hoax, according to Fox News.
“The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic,” Gabbard said on this week’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” “Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President [Barack] Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is an issue that is so serious it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our democratic republic,” she continued.
The released documents show that before the 2016 election, Russia had shown no intent of meddling with the voting system. Yet, members of the intelligence community would later conspire to accuse President Vladimir Putin of directly interfering with the election to help Trump win.
“Creating this piece of manufactured intelligence that claims that Russia had helped Donald Trump get elected contradicted every other assessment that had been made previously in the months leading up to the election that said exactly the opposite, that Russia had neither the intent nor the capability to try to ‘hack the United States election,’” Gabbard continued. “So the effect of what President Obama and his senior national security team did was subvert the will of the American people, undermining our democratic republic and enacting what would be essentially a years-long coup against President Trump, who was duly elected by the American people.”
The evidence also incriminates former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, as well as Obama. Gabbard stated the intent to file the records with the FBI and the Department of Justice with the hope DOJ would criminally prosecute those involved in the hoax.
Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., called out Gabbard’s statements on X as “utter nonsense,” accusing her of fabricating false claims to divert the public’s attention from the Epstein Files case. “This is utter nonsense. Completely. Odd that then CIA Director Pompeo didn’t say any of this. Or that none of the six DNIs in Trump’s first term said any of it. Once again, @DNIGabbard is trashing her own people in an attempt to regain Trump’s favor or to distract from the Epstein scandal. Probably both.”
In late May, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealed that his team had uncovered what he called “bags” of classified material related to the Trump-Russia investigation that had been “hidden” during the Comey’ regime’s tenure at FBI.
How did Comey and other alleged co-conspirators hide information, not only from congressional oversight, but even Special Counsel John Durham, who was investigating the FBI and DOJ role in the Trump-Russia hoax? As The Daily Signal reported:
They labeled anything they didn’t want anyone to see as “Prohibited Access.” This classification meant that the information wouldn’t show up in the bureau’s Sentinel case management system. Not just “inaccessible,” The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland explains, but “invisible.”
Durham would not even have known this information existed.
Expect more information to come, said Gabbard. “We have whistleblowers, actually, coming forward now after we released these documents because there are so many people who were around, who were working within the intelligence community at this time who were so disgusted by what happened.”
