Tulsi Declassifies Intelligence Bombshell
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard unveiled declassified documents she said proves a “treasonous conspiracy” by Obama-era officials to fabricate the Trump-Russia collusion narrative. On Fox News, Gabbard said documents showed that former President Obama and top intelligence leaders—including “then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey and former National Security Adviser Susan Rice”—coordinated the effort after Trump’s 2016 victory to undermine his presidency.
"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 told host Maria Bartiromo.
"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."
Gabbard vowed to refer the matter for criminal investigation and said whistleblowers are coming forward.
The Daily Wire reported:
Daily Wire host Matt Walsh agreed that those involved should be prosecuted, but expressed skepticism that this would actually happen.
“Unpopular opinion but I don’t care about this unless they actually arrest and prosecute the culprits, including Obama,” he wrote. “You cannot allege a ‘treasonous conspiracy’ and then do nothing about it.”
“The typical pattern by Republicans since forever is to make these kinds of claims (which I don’t doubt by the way), but to make them on Twitter and Fox News, and never actually bring it to a court of law so that the parties responsible can be held accountable for their crimes,” Walsh continued. “I’m tired of it. Go arrest these people and bring them to justice. Then I’ll care. If you won’t do that then what does any of this matter?”
