Tulsi Gabbard Exposes Obama-Era Trump-Russia Collusion Narrative in Declassified Docs

In a stunning revelation, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified a trove of documents that expose a disturbing narrative crafted by Obama administration officials to fuel the Trump-Russia collusion story surrounding the 2016 election. These records, recently brought to light, paint a picture of manipulated intelligence and political agendas that sought to undermine public trust.

The declassified materials show that prior to the November 2016 election, the intelligence community repeatedly concluded that Russia was not likely attempting to sway the election through cyberattacks. A Presidential Daily Brief from December 8, 2016, explicitly stated that Russian and criminal actors had no impact on U.S. election results through cyber means, despite minor attempts to breach voter databases in states like Illinois. The brief underscored that such efforts were highly unlikely to alter any state's official vote count.

Yet, in a stark contrast, by January 2017, a new Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) emerged, contradicting earlier findings. This report, allegedly pushed by senior officials including then-CIA Director John Brennan, claimed Russian interference aimed at influencing the election—despite lacking concrete evidence that Vladimir Putin specifically favored Donald Trump. A 2020 House Intelligence Committee report, also declassified, revealed that the ICA was rushed, poorly coordinated, and based on questionable sources, including substandard and potentially biased intelligence.

Even more alarming, the documents suggest that the Obama administration may have leaked false narratives to the media to perpetuate the idea of Russian interference. High-level meetings in the White House Situation Room, involving figures like Susan Rice and John Kerry, discussed sanctions on Russian entities as a response, while internal dissent within the FBI over the brief's conclusions was sidelined. The House report further indicates that intelligence suggesting Putin was indifferent to the election outcome—or even preferred Hillary Clinton due to her perceived vulnerabilities—was suppressed.

Adding to the intrigue, Russian intelligence reportedly held compromising information on Clinton, including alleged health concerns and internal Democratic Party communications. These details, highlighted by Gabbard in a recent press briefing, were dismissed as 'ridiculous' by a Clinton aide, but they raise questions about what was truly at play behind closed doors during that pivotal election cycle.

These revelations aren't just a historical footnote—they're a reminder of how easily the machinery of power can spin a story, leaving the public to sift through the wreckage for the truth. The implications of politicized intelligence continue to reverberate, casting a long shadow over trust in our institutions.
