LOS ANGELES (OC).–Director of National Intelligence [DNI] Tulsi Gabbard released a report that called Obama officials treasonous for their role in the Russian hoax that dogged President Donald Trump during his 2016 campaign and much of his first term. Gabbard said that the Obama administration engaged in a “treasonous conspiracy,” largely to get former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton elected, more specifically to undermine Trump’s 2016 campaign. “The information we are releasing today clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government,” Gabbard said. When she talks about the highest levels of government she’s talking about former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Joe Biden, not to mention former Atty. Gen. Loretta Lynch and the entire National Security team.
Democrats have denied that any conspiracy existed citing various intel agencies and committees in the Senate and House, all seemed to agree that Russia tried to interfere in the 2016 presidential election to favor Trump. “Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed on him by the American people,” Gabbard said. Trump signed a memo in March declassifying “Crossfire Hurricane,” the Top Secret FBI investigation into Trump’s alleged ties to Kremlin interference in the 2016 presidential election. Democrats counter that all 17 intel agencies concluded in 2016 that Russia tried to influence the outcome of the 2016 election. Democrats have been covering up “Crossfire Hurricane,” hoping the Obama White House would get away scot free.
Ten years after the start of the Russian hoax, no one from the Obama administration was held accountable for their politically-motivated use of government agencies for the purpose of undermining Trump’s 2016 campaign, getting Hillary elected president. No one in the Senate, House or intel agencies mentioned a thing about Obama authorizing the CIA and FBI’s counterintelligence investigation of Trump and his campaign. Trump, at the time, said Obama “tapped his wires,” was actively spying on his campaign. Today’s fake news, led by the broadcast outlets CNN and MSNBC and print outlets the New York Times and Washington Post, never admitted to the fraudulent reporting on Trump’s alleged ties to the Kremlin. Untold numbers of stories were printed to justify the government’s investigations.
So, now that the Department of Justice has former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey in the crosshairs, Democrats and the press are starting to squirm. Gabbard only brings up the obvious about a treasonous conspiracy that started with Obama and went right down the chain of command. No one every talked about who authorized “Crossfire Hurricane,” the investigation into Trump’s alleged ties to the Kremlin. Hillary supplied her completely fraudulent Steele Dossier, paid opposition research, for use by Brennan and Comey. Gabbard knows that Obama’s Director of National Intelligence James Clapper was intimately involved with orchestrating Crossfire Hurricane. Now that Gabbard released her report, the deep state and related fake news has closed ranks, justifying concerns about Russian interference in the 2016 election.
When it came to Crossfire Hurricane, it was initiated by Hillary giving her Steele Dossier to the late Sen. John McCaine (R-Az.) to give in to Brennan who, in turn, handed Hillary bogus opposition research to Comey. Trump wants the Obama administration to be held accountable for the political use of the DNI, CIA and FBI all for the purpose of sabotaging Trump’s 2016 political campaign. What happened to all the undeniable evidence Democrats, like Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), said they had proving Trump colluded with the Kremlin? When Trump finally fired Comey May 8, 2017, Democrats and the fake news went into full cover-up mode, demanding the Department of Justice appoint a Special Counsel. Former FBI Director Robert Mueller was tasked with investigating Trump alleged ties to the Kremlin. Two years later, Mueller cleared Trump March 23, 2019.
Democrats and the fake news want to discredit Gabbard, saying she wanted to pardon National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden for stealing millions of classified government files before fleeing to Hong Kong, then to Russia. What does Snowden have to do with what happened in the Obama administration with Crossfire Hurricane? Democrats and the fake news want to justify years of fake reporting on Trump’s alleged ties to the Kremlin, all for the purpose of undermining the 2016 campaign. Now that Gabbard called out the intel community for conspiring to use government agencies for political purposes, Democrats and the press turn on Gabbard, saying she wanted to pardon Snowden. Gabbard was not the only one who thought Snowden was legitimate whistleblower exposing government spying on its own citizens. Gabbard has guts to tell the truth.
