Declassified documents show top Obama-era officials overruled intelligence findings to manufacture the ‘Russiagate’ narrative, Gabbard says..
Former President Barack Obama’s administration deliberately manipulated intelligence to frame Russia for interfering in the 2016 presidential election, according to newly declassified documents released on Friday by America’s Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
Gabbard unveiled more than 100 pages of emails, memos, and internal communications, which she described as “overwhelming evidence” of a coordinated effort by senior Obama-era officials to politicize intelligence and launch the multi-year Trump–Russia collusion investigation. She dubbed it “a treasonous conspiracy to subvert the will of the American people.”
The scandal severely damaged relations between Moscow and Washington, leading to sanctions, asset seizures, and a breakdown in normal diplomacy.
🧵 Americans will finally learn the truth about how in 2016, intelligence was politicized and weaponized by the most powerful people in the Obama Administration to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President @realDonaldTrump, subverting the… pic.twitter.com/UQKKZ5c4Op

”This intelligence was weaponized,” Gabbard said. “It was used as a justification for endless smears, for sanctions from Congress, and for covert investigations.” She added: “When key internal assessments found that Russia ‘did not impact recent U.S. election results,’ those findings were suppressed.”

“For months before the 2016 election, the Intelligence Community maintained that Russia lacked both the intent and capability to hack U.S. elections,” Gabbard noted. “But once President Trump won, everything changed.”
One document — a draft President’s Daily Brief dated December 8, 2016 — stated Russia “did not impact recent U.S. election results” through cyberattacks. The report, prepared by the CIA, NSA, FBI, DHS, and other agencies, found no evidence of voting interference.
Yet Fox News reported on Friday that the document was pulled — “based on new guidance,” according to internal emails. Hours later, a high-level Situation Room meeting took place, attended by officials including DNI James Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan, National Security Adviser Susan Rice, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
According to declassified notes, attendees agreed to produce a new intelligence assessment at President Obama’s request. That report, released on January 6, 2017, claimed Russia had intervened in the election to help Donald Trump — directly contradicting earlier assessments.
Gabbard claims the revised assessment leaned on the discredited Steele Dossier — compiled by a former British spy — while sidelining dissenting views within the intelligence apparatus. “This was not intelligence gathering,” Gabbard stated. “It was narrative building.”
Their goal was to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the American people.
No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The integrity of our democratic republic depends on it.

Confirmed as DNI earlier this year — after a contentious process — Gabbard says she has forwarded the documents to the Department of Justice. She has urged investigations into former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey, who are reportedly facing criminal inquiries. “No matter how powerful, every person involved must be brought to justice,” she stressed. “Our nation’s integrity depends on accountability.”
“The integrity of our democratic republic depends on full accountability,” Gabbard concluded. “Nothing less will restore the public’s trust — and ensure nothing like this ever happens again.”
This is colossal.
But no substitude.
The people still want the Epstein files.
And we want accountability
Well he wasn’t even born in America so was a foreign agent president.
America’s first gay president
Yes the people still want the epstein files – but what if there is an unthinkable yet existing reason to not release them – yet …?
These reasons are only in the heads of the cabal and its henchmen. Stew Peters has some good points

This will go the same way as the Epstein list.
It is delusional to believe the public will ever trust the government , its politicians, the police or secret police whatever name or authority they believe themselves to be.
Now why is that? We the people can communicate truths between outselves. We now have the tools and the networks to expose corruption.
The second reason is what penalties do present or former politicians face? We have a special court with a single judge for our police who can only make recommendations.
Tell me, what penalty is Grant Robinson facing for his overspending of public money? He was rewarded with a new job.
Whos idea was it to attack peaceful sleeping men, women and children outside parliament firstly with water then with fire, clubs, arrests. Malard was rewarded with a top job in Ireland . Ardern has a few hundred million in her bank account for making a few kindness speeches to rich universities. Ex police commissioner got a new job.
Legislating truth as hate speech isn’t going to work. Nor is hoping the covid genocide will be put to bed with a royal enquiry. Only accountability in criminal courts will bring a satisfactory outcome.
Prosecuting guys like Barry Young and Liz Gunn has backfired. Given even more doubt about government authority.
We are inching, some would say marching towards civil war in Europe and the UK. New Zealand should be neutral.
Excellent and thoughtful comment-especially towards the last with New Zealand being Neutral, as we should be!!!
Obama once said that his dream / fantasy was that after his second term, that he could continue to run the U.S. from ‘behind the scenes’.
It looks like he did just that!
And, illegally I might add.
This isn’t the first time a foreigner became President of the United States; the other was G.H.W. Bush (Bush the 1st) who was born in Germany, and was about 10 years older than what he put down for his age when he joined the U.S. Navy.
G.H.W. Bush was a CIA operative when JFK was assassinated, and was present in Dallas at the time on the grassy knoll, as was the CIA & Mossad.

The below is VERY lengthy, but a necessary read in order to understand what has happened to the so-called (un)free world.
Note the portion on Nicola Tesla, with a Sherff working as Tesla’s assistant before Tesla was murdered.
Afterwards, Donald Trump’s uncle swooped-in and stole all of Tesla’s work, had the same classified by the U.S. Government where is has been hidden away indefinitely.

As Pastor Rod Parsley of Columbus Ohio once said on camera, “There are devils loose upon this land!!!”
No one can deny that…especially Edgar Cayce…!
Not being reported in US msm, gee no agreed damage control narrative yet trashing Gabbard and defending Barry husseins of kenya. Tbd and the US is close to another hot civil war. This might push it over. Popcorn and more ammo!
And the corrupt MSM would never run this story because it impacts on their absolute hatred for the man that stands between their Marxist ambitions and failure.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for anyone to go too trial it will be swept under the rug like everything else in DC. Gabbard will probably catch the Clinton virus in a few weeks over this.
more fake news by the orange dip ship to try and distract from the epstein files and the proof our president is a pedo
