From Fox News: 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.
Sunday morning, Gabbard told Fox host Maria Bartiromo, “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.'”
“In the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the Intelligence Community agreed that there was no Intelligence that reflected that Russia was trying to hack the election… So it was very striking when we look back at the documents that I declassified and released that show there was a shift in early December,” Gabbard said.
“It’s worse than even politicization of intelligence; it was manufactured intelligence that sought to achieve President Obama’s and his team’s objective, which was undermining President Trump,” she told Bartiromo.
