Declassified Documents and Claims of Conspiracy
After over 100 pages of documents linked to the Russian Gate scandal have been declassified, National Intelligence Director Tarshi Gabbard has stated that Barack Obama, his administration, and Hillary Clinton’s campaigns were part of what he calls “an uncomfortable conspiracy,” which included submitting criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.
“This is one of the biggest stories ever in America,” says Glenbeck. He believes these documents represent “smoking guns” and have long been necessary for understanding the full scope of Russiagate. In a recent episode of The Glenbeck Program, Glen examines the scandal in detail and outlines what should be done next.
Background
On September 12, 2016, in a confidential briefing room, documents from the Director of National Intelligence’s office circulated among President Obama’s intelligence team. The memo indicated that “the foreign enemy” had not successfully carried out undetected cyberattacks during the election process.
This essentially meant that Russia wasn’t a genuine threat to the election outcome. Nonetheless, the Clinton campaign and the media quickly denounced Russia following leaks of thousands of private DNC emails, even as the NSA’s assertions were considered “unreliable.” As Hillary Clinton’s campaign seemed to falter, Glenn Beck notes that whispers of Russian interference began to swell, largely fueled by figures like John Brennan from the CIA and James Comey of the FBI.
Then came October 7, 2016, when DNI and DHS publicly asserted that Russia was orchestrating a cyberattack, despite an internal memo that week showing that key agencies expressed serious doubts about Russian involvement.
Post-Election Developments
After Donald Trump’s election win, a state of panic seemed to grip the White House. “On December 9, 2016, Clapper, Brennan, Susan Rice, McCabe, Kerry, and President Obama were present,” recalls Glenn. “They were instructed to discard post-election briefings indicating there was no Russian interference and to have the intelligence community draft a new version.”
Documents recently declassified reveal that DNI assessments regarding Russian influence were modified at President Obama’s beckoning. Subsequently, in January 2017, just before Trump assumed office, a new briefing was issued claiming that Russia had indeed affected the elections. “There’s no smoking guns or new evidence—just a new tone,” Glenn comments, emphasizing that this shift, supported by Brennan and Clapper, justified a two-year investigation into Trump and Russia.
The inquiry, dubbed Operation Crossfire Hurricane, relied significantly on the Steel Dossier—funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and filled with alarming accusations about Trump’s connections to Russia. Many feel this has gone unchecked. “Accountability never came,” Glenn asserts.
Current Implications
Recently, Tarshi Gabbard has declassified numerous documents that align with what many have long suspected: a concerted effort to undermine the presidency, using coordinated efforts and media manipulation, as Glenn puts it. Gabbard went on to suggest that both special advisors Robert Mueller and John Durham “chose not to follow the evidence.”
“The entire operation, spanning from the press to prosecutors, was less about justice and more about preserving a narrative, with Obama at its core—even if he was unaware,” he continues.
With the case now under the Department of Justice, the decision about potential indictments lies with Attorney General Pam Bondy. “If no charges are laid, that could be problematic,” Glenn warns.
He emphasizes that Russiagate “is no longer a conspiracy theory.” The documents are out in the open, with key details and names clearly documented. “The American public needs to trust the integrity of our democratic system, and accountability is crucial,” he concludes.
