Gabbard Declassifies Intelligence Report on Obama Administration
National Intelligence Director Tarshi Gabbard has made public the House Intelligence Committee’s report from September 2020. She claims it demonstrates how the Obama administration “manufactured” an intelligence report that fueled rumors of Russian collusion.
On a social media platform, Gabbard shared a link to a 46-page report, stating that “new evidence of the worst weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history has emerged,” during a Wednesday morning update.
In her follow-up comments, she stated:
President @RealdonaldTrump has declassified this information, revealing how the Obama administration crafted the January 2017 Intelligence Reporting Review. They pushed the narrative that President Trump assisted Vladimir Putin in winning the 2016 election.
The result was a significant erosion of American trust. They collaborated with media partners to spread lies aimed at undermining President Trump’s legitimacy, effectively executing a longstanding coup against him.
Gabbard also outlined five critical findings from the report in a subsequent update. She mentioned that Obama, former CIA director John Brennan, and others are said to have “prevented Russian hoaxes,” suppressed intelligence indicating that Putin was preparing for a Clinton victory, and provided false information to the public.
The report’s release follows another disclosure from Gabbard’s office, which was made public on Friday. The findings reportedly highlighted that after President Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016, there was “overwhelming evidence” suggesting that President Obama and his national security team manufactured and politicized the Intelligence Reporting Agency to create a basis for the ongoing conspiracy against Trump. This new release has drawn attention.
In a statement, Trump mentioned, “This is a rebellion,” when discussing Obama’s comments to reporters in his office.
He expressed certainty about Obama’s guilt, saying, “He’s guilty. That’s not a question.” He reflected on how he initially chose not to pursue legal action against Hillary Clinton regarding her email controversy. “It’s time to chase after the people,” he added, referring to those involved in the alleged weaponization of intelligence.
Trump recounted his decision to let Clinton “off the hook,” saying he considered the implications because she was the president’s ex-wife.
He wrapped up with a somewhat ambiguous note: “It’s time to chase after people, whether it’s right or wrong. Obama was caught directly. Some people think it’s a group, but it’s not—his orders are signed.”
