Gabbard Exposes Obama’s Direct Role in Orchestrating the Russia Hoax

During an appearance on "Hannity" this week, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard detailed former President Barack Obama's direct involvement in what she described as a "manufactured, politicized piece of intelligence" designed to subvert the will of the American people and sabotage Donald Trump's presidency before it even began.

"This is not a partisan issue," Gabbard said. "It has to do with the integrity and strength of our democratic republic."

Gabbard joined Sean Hannity to discuss a cache of over 100 declassified documents her office released this week. Among them is a December 2016 President's Daily Brief prepared for Obama that, according to Gabbard, confirmed Russia had neither the intent nor capability to interfere with or change the outcome of the 2016 election. But that document never reached the public—because, she says, Obama's political appointees deliberately suppressed it.

"As you said, President Obama's political appointees pulled that document before it could be published," Gabbard explained. "The very next day after they pulled that document, President Obama called a National Security Council cabinet meeting to discuss how Russia interfered with the election."

That meeting took place on December 9, 2016, weeks after Trump's victory, and was followed by Obama directing his intelligence leadership—including James Clapper, John Brennan, James Comey, and Susan Rice—to produce an assessment that would support a predetermined conclusion: that Russia interfered in the election to help Trump.

"President Obama delivered the conclusion that he wanted the intelligence community to reach," Gabbard said, "and directed them to find and essentially create and manufacture the intelligence to support the conclusion that he wanted to deliver to the American people."

Gabbard called the operation a "years-long coup" and stated flatly that its purpose was "to enact what was essentially a years-long coup subverting the will of the American people in that election."

The Steele dossier—an opposition research document funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign and already widely discredited—played a key role in the effort, according to Gabbard. "James Clapper, James Comey, John Brennan, they all knew that the Steele dossier was discredited at this point," she said. "There were professionals who were told, 'Include the Steele dossier in this January Obama-directed manufactured piece of intelligence,' and they protested."

Those warnings were ignored. The dossier was inserted anyway and became a central part of the intelligence assessment pushed by Obama's team. It also became the justification for FISA warrants used to spy on Trump campaign aide Carter Page—effectively giving the Obama administration a backdoor into Trump's campaign and transition team.

Asked if she believes crimes were committed, Gabbard was unequivocal. "I do, Sean. All of these documents that we have found and uncovered—we are referring them to the Department of Justice for further investigation," she said. "Accountability has to take place."

The Fox News Version

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard detailed "striking" findings from declassified documents released Friday, claiming to showcase "overwhelming evidence" that an Obama-era cabal laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump-Russia collusion probe after the 2016 election.

"The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic," Gabbard said on this week's "Sunday Morning Futures."

"Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is an issue that is so serious it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our democratic republic," she continued.

Documents shared by Gabbard's office claimed that before the 2016 election, there was no evidence showing Russia tried to directly alter vote counts. However, members of the intelligence community later suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to help Trump win. Gabbard argues the narrative shift was politically motivated rather than based on new findings.

"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."

Evidence released by Gabbard's office implicated then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey and former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, among others, in addition to the former president.

Gabbard confirmed her intent to send all the uncovered documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI for a criminal referral.

When asked if she expects to see prosecutions, she vowed to do "all that [she] can" to ensure accountability.

"We have whistleblowers, actually, coming forward now after we released these documents because there are people who were around, who were working within the intelligence community at this time who were so disgusted by what happened," she shared.

Her evidence is the minutes of White House morning briefings.

Sadly, the Supreme Court said Trump could not be prosecuted for trumped up fake 20 year old rape charges because
he was an ex President.
I suspect that means Obama can't be charged with actual treason.

Treason is a much more serious crime than a fake sexual assault accusation with no proof or witnesses.
He did this as a lame duck president and not something 30 years before he was a POTUS.

corruption is different than treason.

JM2C, But the right throws around the word treason, like the left uses the word racism. where I would say that if everything is treason, then nothing is treason, and if everything is racism nothing is racism.

Article III, Section 3, Clause 1:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Treason Clause is a product of the Framer's awareness of the "numerous and dangerous excrescences" which had distorted the English law of treason. The Clause was therefore intended to put "extend[ing] the crime and punishment of treason" beyond Congress's power.1 Debate in the Constitutional Convention, remarks in the ratifying conventions, and contemporaneous public comments make clear that the Framers contemplated a restrictive concept of the crime of treason that would prevent the politically powerful from escalating ordinary partisan disputes into capital charges of treason, as so often had happened in England.2

Thus, the Framers adopted two of the three formulations and the phraseology of the English Statute of Treason enacted in 1350,3 but they conspicuously omitted the phrase defining as treason the "compass[ing] or imagin[ing] the death of our lord the King,"4 under which most of the English law of "constructive treason" had been developed.5 Beyond limiting Congress's power to define treason,6 the Clause also limits Congress's ability to make proof of the offense of treason easy to establish7 and to define the punishment for treason.8
