Declassified: Obama Admin Manufactured Intelligence to Push Fake Trump-Russia Collusion Narrative
"The Obama administration’s top officials committed a “treasonous conspiracy” by manufacturing and politicizing intelligence to create the false narrative that led to the years-long Trump-Russia collusion probe, according to newly-declassified documents released by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard.
Gabbard dropped damning documents that showed how they laid the groundwork for “what was essentially a years-long coup” against President Donald Trump:
Despite the intelligence community’s consensus that Russia “lacked the intent and capability to hack U.S. elections” prior to Trump’s 2016 win over Hillary Clinton, Gabbard said Obama’s officials changed their tune soon after the president won, ignoring the evidence.
“We assess that Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure,” a declassified December 8, 2016 Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) that was set to be published the next day stated.
While finding that “Russian Government–affiliated actors most likely compromised an Illinois voter registration database and unsuccessfully attempted the same in other states,” intelligence officials said election monitoring combined with the fact that neither vote-counting nor -casting infrastructures were harmed made it “highly unlikely” that any results were altered.
“Criminal activity also failed to reach the scale and sophistication necessary to change election outcomes,” noted the briefing, prepared by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with reporting from the FBI, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) State Department, and open sources.
The PDB was not published the next day, however.
Recently-uncovered communications revealed that the ODNI moved to “push back publication,” based on “some new guidance.”
“It will not run tomorrow and is not likely to run until next week,” wrote the deputy director of the PDB at ODNI, whose name is redacted from the declassified documents.
This came just days after Clapper’s December 7 talking points stated: “Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the U.S. presidential election outcome.”
Declassified communications from the FBI stated that the PDB “should not go forward” until the bureau had shared its “concerns” and drafted a “dissent.”
On the day the ODB was supposed to be published on December 9, NSC officials including Clapper, then-CIA Director John Brennan, then-National Security Advisor Susan Rice, then-Secretary of State John Kerry, then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch, then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, and others, met in the White House Situation Room to discuss Russia.
Gabbard’s documents show the Obama White House overruling months of reports downplaying Russian interference and ordering subordinates to set a time bomb of manipulated intelligence, with the aim of trying to, as Gabbard described it, “usurp” an incoming president. No longer a tertiary character, Obama is now “center square” in the Russiagate scam, as one source put it.
The information from Gabbard’s office was not the only news on the Russiagate front. This investigation is not just about “ten-year-old news,” as has been a common talking point, but may also involve never-reported Biden-era issues. A source close to the investigation said yesterday that the DOJ is focusing on conspiracy charges and looking at conduct “from 2016 to 2024.” Another with ties to the administration said “President Trump’s national security team is looking at evidence that members of his 2024 campaign were spied on as well.”
In an even more alarming twist, she found that Obama officials “immediately leaned on their allies in the media to advance their falsehoods,” with anonymous sources within the intelligence community leaking classified information to the Washington Post, claiming that Russia had intervened in the election to help Trump."
