The Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, stated on Wednesday during Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” that she would not have been able to overcome the “deep state barriers” in releasing documents that reveal the Russiagate deception without a whistleblower offering “essential elements” to the story.
On Friday, Gabbard releasedNewly released documents that address claims that President Donald Trump’s initial campaign worked with Russia to influence the 2016 election in his favor. While talking about the records with Fox’s Jesse Watters, the host questioned Gabbard on how she discovered proof indicating that former President Barack Obama and his national security team “created and politicized intelligence” in the Russia scandal.
This was clearly significant to President Trump, but, once more, it’s a matter that affects every American in this country and the future of our nation as a republic. So shortly after assuming my role as Director of National Intelligence, I established a special team to look into this issue. I have to say, it wasn’t simple,” Gabbard stated. “There were numerous deep state challenges that continue to exist within the intelligence community.

But in the end, a whistleblower came forward and provided essential elements to this story, allowing us to uncover these documents and find those that clearly indicated President Obama instructed his national security officials, James Clapper and John Brennan, to create this January 2017 intelligence community assessment,” Gabbard said. “The investigation I led at ODNI [Office of the Director of National Intelligence], which we released last Friday, offered many of the fundamental components and evidence supporting what we now know occurred.
During the Russiagate campaign in 2016, the notorious Steele dossier served as a guide for the investigation. Although a few intelligence officials supported the claims at the time, the inquiry ultimately did not uncover any proof of coordination.
Still unanswered questions remain regarding the ongoing effort of theRussia hoax, Gabbard released a memothe agency reported that Obama’s DNI, James Clapper, and the Department of Homeland Security concealed an FBI and NSA press statement released a few weeks prior to the 2016 election, which indicated they had “low confidence” regarding Russia’s involvement in the data leaks.
Furthermore, the memo stated that high-ranking intelligence officials from the deep state started providing “clearly false information to The Washington Post” after the 2016 election.
Gabbard added that the newly released documents from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which were extracted from the January 2017 House Intelligence Committee Oversight Majority Staff report, examine the claim that Obama “fabricated false intelligence to deliberately use misleading information in order to reach a conclusion he wanted to present to the American public that Putin had supported President Trump’s victory in the 2016 election.”
“The report we published today, word for word, examines it, breaking down and refuting the deliberate false claims and lies that were part of that evaluation, which was designed to challenge the validity of President Trump, disrupt the will of the American voters who had just elected Donald Trump in 2016, and essentially start this multi-year effort to overthrow President Trump that continued throughout the four years of his presidency beginning in 2016,” Gabbard stated.
While the spokesperson for Obama on Tuesdaysaidthat Trump’s White House was making “extreme” claims, GabbardsaidShe will send the former president to the Department of Justice for potential criminal charges.
