Declassified documents drop a bombshell, accusing Obama administration heavyweights of cooking up a Trump-Russia collusion story to sabotage a presidency.
Breitbart reported that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s release unveils a plot that smells more like political theater than espionage. It’s a tale of power, manipulation, and a nation misled.
Newly released files claim senior Obama officials twisted intelligence to paint Donald Trump as Moscow’s puppet in the 2016 election. This coordinated effort, branded a “treasonous conspiracy” by Gabbard, aimed to kneecap Trump’s presidency from day one.
Before Trump’s 2016 victory, the intelligence community concluded Russia lacked the will and means to hack U.S. elections.
A December 8, 2016, Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) stated that Russian and criminal actors didn’t tamper with election results through cyberattacks. Yet, this clear-eyed assessment never saw the light of day.
The PDB, prepped by the Department of Homeland Security with input from the FBI, CIA, NSA, and others, was set for release on December 9, 2016.
Plans changed when the Office of the DNI, under James Clapper, decided to delay publication based on “new guidance.” Convenient timing, or deliberate sabotage?
The brief noted that Russian actors likely breached an Illinois voter database but failed elsewhere. It emphasized that vote-counting and casting systems remained untouched, making altered election results “highly unlikely.” So why was this buried?
The deputy director of the PDB wrote that the brief “will not run tomorrow and is not likely to run until next week.” Spoiler alert: it never ran. The truth, it seems, was too inconvenient for the narrative.
On December 9, 2016, top Obama officials—Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, and Andrew McCabe—gathered in the White House Situation Room.
The meeting’s cryptic subject: “Summary of Conclusions for PC Meeting on a Sensitive Topic (REDACTED).” Sounds like a plot twist straight out of a spy novel.
Records show they agreed to sanction Russian officials for cyber operations, citing a 2015 Obama executive order on malicious cyber activities. But the real kicker? They ordered a fresh assessment to detail Moscow’s supposed election meddling.
Clapper’s assistant emailed intelligence leaders to craft this new report, per the president’s request. The original PDB, which debunked election tampering, was shelved indefinitely. The fix was in, and the narrative was shifting.
Obama officials allegedly leaked classified info to the Washington Post, pushing a story that contradicted their own intelligence. The PDB had called Russian actions mere “psychological effects” to dent election credibility, not game-changers. Yet, the media ran with a juicier tale of Russian puppet masters.
Then-DNI Clapper’s own talking points on December 7, 2016, admitted foreign cyberattacks didn’t alter the election outcome. So why the sudden pivot? It’s almost as if the goal was to keep the public in the dark while fueling a witch hunt.
FBI communications reveal they wanted the PDB halted until they could voice “concerns” and draft a “dissent.” Dissent from what? Their own findings that no election tampering occurred?
The new assessment, involving the CIA, FBI, NSA, DHS, and ODNI, was designed to overwrite the original PDB’s conclusions. This wasn’t about truth—it was about crafting a story to justify years of investigations. The American public deserved better than this sleight of hand.
Gabbard’s declassification pulls back the curtain on a scheme that weaponized intelligence for political gain. Calling it “treasonous” might sound harsh, but when trust in institutions is shattered, what else fits? The Obama team’s actions reek of desperation to cling to power.
These revelations demand accountability, not just finger-pointing. If senior officials manipulated intelligence to undermine a presidency, the fallout transcends party lines. It’s a wake-up call for anyone who values truth over narrative.
