The House Intelligence Report investigated claims made by a 2017 intelligence community assessment ordered by President Obama. The report found Putin's primary goal in the 2016 election was to undermine faith in the U.S. democratic process, not to favor a specific candidate. According to the report, Putin strategically withheld compromising information on Hillary Clinton before the election, planning to release it afterward to weaken a presumed Clinton presidency. The report alleges that the 2017 intelligence community assessment, under CIA Director John Brennan, intentionally suppressed intelligence indicating Putin planned to release the most damaging material on Hillary Clinton after the election. The report details information Russia possessed regarding Hillary Clinton, including alleged criminal acts such as secret meetings with U.S. religious organizations where State Department officials purportedly offered increased funding in exchange for supporting Clinton's presidential campaign.

The FBI alerted our team about the presence of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. They informed us that there might be a release of similar content soon.

There is irrefutable evidence that detail how president Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false. They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the twenty sixteen election to help president Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true. It wasn't. The report that we released today shows in great detail how they carried this out. They manufactured findings from shoddy sources. They suppressed evidence and credible intelligence that disproved their false claims. They disobeyed traditional tradecraft intelligence community standards and withheld the truth from the American people. In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people who elected Donald Trump in that election in November 2016.

The speaker discusses a meeting at Trump Tower with the president-elect. The purpose was to convey evidence and assessments regarding Russian objectives and capabilities. The speaker states they are not going to get into the details of that meeting. The speaker confirms they provided the briefing that the president-elect deserved to get. The speaker says Trump should have come away with a clear understanding of where James Clapper, Jim Comey, Mike Rogers, and John Brennan stood on these issues.

The FBI alerted our team about the possibility of a Russian propaganda dump similar to what happened in the 2016 election. They advised us to be on high alert.

There are too many connections between Trump and Russia to be coincidences, including financial entanglements and attempts to hide meetings. Regardless of the Trump investigation, Russia interfered in the election to help Trump, hurt the speaker, and destabilize democracy, and they haven't stopped. The Russians stole campaign manager John Podesta's emails, conveyed them to WikiLeaks, and released them the same day as the "Hollywood Access" tape. The emails were weaponized and targeted at specific voters. Investigators are looking into where the Russians got the targeting information. The Russian government, directed by Putin, engaged in espionage against Americans to influence the election, as confirmed by 17 intelligence agencies. The most important question is whether Trump will admit and condemn Russian interference and reject their espionage, which he has encouraged in the past. Trump's admiration for Putin, a "wannabe dictator," is exemplified by his suggestion to leave NATO, giving a green light to a "murderous, brutal dictator."

The office of the director of National Intelligence would have only participated in election security briefings with private companies like Twitter, YouTube, Microsoft, and state election officials. These meetings did not involve content moderation or the Biden laptop as Russian disinformation. Therefore, there was no authority or reason for anyone in the intelligence community to say otherwise.

The speaker states that, regarding election security, everyone must acknowledge egregious behavior and foreign influence, of which there is direct evidence. Other foreign partners also have evidence and were watching attacks on the election system on November 3rd. They are willing to provide that evidence directly to the president, and this evidence was received today. These foreign partners and allies are willing to help. The speaker concludes that foreign influence against election security and the SolarWinds system is dangerous, and more must be done.

At President Trump's direction, a declassified oversight report from September 2020 has been released. The report alleges that President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of a false intelligence community assessment. This assessment promoted a contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win. The report claims there is irrefutable evidence detailing how they manufactured findings from shoddy sources, suppressed evidence that disproved their claims, and disobeyed intelligence community standards. They allegedly withheld the truth from the American people and conspired to subvert the will of the voters who elected Donald Trump. They are accused of working with media partners to promote this lie to undermine President Trump's legitimacy, launching a years-long coup against him and his administration.

The speaker states that interference or federal election crimes will be aggressively investigated, and they will work with partners to quickly take appropriate action. They are also coordinating with private sector technology and social media companies. The goal is to ensure these platforms aren't used by foreign adversaries to spread disinformation and propaganda.

The speaker briefed President-elect Trump's team on January 6th regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election. The intelligence community concluded Russia's goals were to damage American democracy, hurt Hillary Clinton, and help Donald Trump. General Clapper informed President Obama of additional material involving alleged sexual activity by Trump in Moscow, potentially compromising him. Obama asked about the briefing plan, assigning it to the speaker due to the FBI's counterintelligence role. During the Trump Tower briefing, attended by figures like Priebus, Flynn, Pence, Pompeo, and Spicer, the team showed less interest in future threats and more in downplaying the report's impact on the election. Clapper confirmed the intelligence community doesn't analyze American elections. The team then began strategizing on how to downplay the information to the media. Following this, the speaker briefed Trump on the compromising material, fearing Trump would perceive it as an attempt to blackmail him, potentially initiating conflict between the FBI and the President. The briefing quickly went awry.

We have found the evidence that proves that this Obama led intelligence community assessment was a contrived document, that was knowingly made using a fake intelligence or substandard intelligence in order to drive this, conclusion that president Obama wanted to see, which was that Russia helped Donald Trump get elected in 2016 or at least aspire to. This directly contradicted every other intelligence community assessment, every other assessment that came from the intelligence community for the last several months prior, both before the twenty sixteen election as well as immediate, immediately after.

A grand jury in D.C. indicted 12 Russian military officers for conspiring to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. 11 defendants are charged with hacking computers, stealing documents, and releasing them to interfere in the election. One of those defendants and a twelfth officer are charged with conspiring to infiltrate computers of organizations involved in administering elections. The defendants worked for two units of the GRU, using spear phishing and hacking to steal information. They accessed email accounts of a US presidential campaign, a congressional campaign committee, and a national political committee, planting malicious code and stealing emails. They created fictitious online personas like DC Leaks and Guccifer 2.0 to release stolen documents, falsely claiming they were American or Romanian hackers. Stolen documents were also transferred to another organization to enhance the impact on the election. Russian GRU officers also hacked a state election board website, stealing information about 500,000 voters, and targeted a company supplying voter registration software. The indictment includes charges of conspiring to access computers without authorization, aggravated identity theft, and money laundering. There is no allegation that any American citizen committed a crime or that the conspiracy changed the vote count or affected any election result.

The speaker believes the Russian hack of the DNC contributed to an atmosphere focused on Hillary Clinton's emails and the Clinton Foundation, overshadowing policy debates and impacting the election. The speaker states that the CIA assessment that the hack was intended to improve Trump's chances shouldn't be surprising, as it was widely understood that the hack was helping the Trump campaign and hurting the Clinton campaign. While the president-elect has expressed admiration for Putin and a desire for cooperation, the speaker emphasizes that the consensus among intelligence agencies was that the Russian government was behind the DNC hack. The speaker notes that various agencies are still assessing the motivations behind the hack. The speaker highlights that the current information is based on CIA leaks, not an official document, and that agencies are still comparing notes. The speaker requested a report be issued before the 20th, so that unclassified aspects can be presented to the public and Congress.

Speaker 0 says that over the last several weeks they declassified and released documents exposing that President Obama and leaders in the intelligence community knowingly manufactured a false intelligence document after the 2016 election. The document alleged that Russia aspired to help President Trump win the election with the aim of undermining his presidency and usurping the will and the voices of the American people who sent Trump to the White House.

The speaker asserts that Russia interfered in the 2016 election with purpose, sophistication, and overwhelming technical efforts via an active measures campaign driven from the top of the Russian government. This is a high confidence judgment of the entire intelligence community. The speaker confirms that entities beyond the DNC and DCCC were targeted, including government, non-governmental, and near-governmental agencies like nonprofits. The speaker estimates that the Russians specifically targeted hundreds, possibly over a thousand, entities.

There is irrefutable evidence that detail how president Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false. The Obama administration doctored the intelligence to make it look like Putin and Trump stole the election. A month after Trump beat Hillary, Barack Obama wasn't satisfied with his intelligence reporting and ordered his CIA director to create a new assessment of how Russia interfered with the election. John Brennan handpicked five CIA analysts to write the assessment, and they were siloed. None of them knew what the other was doing, and only one analyst was in charge of drafting this report. There was a massive pressure campaign that came right from the top. Obama and his spy chiefs knew that Putin didn't prefer Trump over Hillary, but they cooked the intelligence to make it look like he did.

We cannot completely eliminate interference in elections, but we can make it significantly harder. Our focus is on protecting election integrity and ensuring Facebook supports democracy. Although the problematic content we've identified is minimal, any interference is serious. We are collaborating with the US government on investigations into Russian interference, having recently uncovered some activity and shared our findings with Congress. While we can't disclose everything publicly due to ongoing investigations, we support Congress in informing the public and expect the government to release its findings once complete. Additionally, we will continue our investigation into Facebook's role in the election, looking into foreign actors and campaigns to better understand their use of our platform.

The speaker discusses the intelligence community's efforts to share information with social media platforms to address inauthentic content. They clarify that the office of the director of National Intelligence would only participate in approved election security briefings with private companies like Twitter, YouTube, Microsoft, and state election officials. These briefings focus on discussing threats and have nothing to do with content moderation or the Biden laptop as Russian disinformation. The speaker mentions that there were weekly meetings between the FBI, DHS, and Twitter, but only one reference to their office. They hope that this reference was part of the approved process for election security briefings.

We look at where we are now over the last several weeks. We've declassified and released documents that exposed how president Obama and leaders in the intelligence community knowingly manufactured a false intelligence document after the twenty sixteen election was done, after the American people said, no, we want Donald Trump to go and be our commander in chief, not Hillary Clinton. And this manufactured document alleged that Russia aspired to help president Trump win the election with the aim of undermining his presidency and usurping the will and the voices of the American people who sent Trump to the White House.

A grand jury in D.C. indicted 12 Russian military officers for conspiring to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. 11 defendants are charged with hacking computers, stealing documents, and releasing them to interfere in the election. One of those 11, plus a 12th officer, are charged with infiltrating computers of organizations administering elections, including state boards and software suppliers. The defendants worked for two units of the GRU, Russia's main intelligence directorate, engaging in cyber operations. They used spear phishing and malicious software to steal information from a presidential campaign, a congressional campaign committee, and a national political committee. They created fictitious online personas like DC Leaks and Guccifer 2.0 to release stolen documents, falsely claiming they were American or Romanian hackers. Stolen documents were also passed to another organization for release. GRU officers also hacked a state election board website, stealing data on 500,000 voters, and targeted a company supplying voter registration software. The indictment includes charges of conspiracy to access computers without authorization, aggravated identity theft, and money laundering via cryptocurrency to conceal Russian connections. There is no allegation that any American citizen committed a crime or that the conspiracy changed the vote count or affected any election result.

Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, released new evidence alleging that former President Barack Obama and top aides conspired to subvert President Trump’s February victory and undermine the democratic will of the American people. The speaker asserts that while Obama publicly appeared to support a peaceful transfer of power, privately he took steps to sow discord and sabotage Trump, including manufacturing and politicizing intelligence that was used to justify baseless smears against the new president. The claim is that Trump had no involvement with Russia and that the Russia collusion narrative was a massive fraud, known to Obama and others involved, including former CIA director John Brennan, former DNI James Clapper, former FBI director James Comey, former deputy director Andrew McCabe, and others. The speaker reiterates that DNI Gabbard’s report confirms there was no collusion or corruption by Trump, attributing any wrongdoing to Barack Obama and the “weaponized” intelligence agencies of the time. The Russia hoax is characterized as a blatant lie manufactured by Democrat political operatives, approved by Obama, and leaked to the media to launch a years-long witch hunt against Trump in his first administration. Allies of the president, including Donald Trump Jr., were smeared as Russian assets, with some personally harmed by the false narrative. The speaker notes that much of this occurred during Trump’s first two years in office, consuming vast resources, time, and political capital to debunk the allegations at the highest levels of government. According to the speaker, nearly a decade later, declassification of documents by DNI Gabbard, alongside contributions from CIA Director Ratcliffe and committee Chairman Rick Crawford, supports a newly declassified 2020 report from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. This report reportedly found the intel community did not have direct information that Vladimir Putin sought to help elect Trump in 2016; instead, Russia was allegedly preparing for a Hillary Clinton victory. The narrative claims that, at the time, Obama’s unusual stance led the intel community to publish implausible intelligence to sabotage the incoming president. The speaker asserts this constitutes one of the greatest political scandals in American history, noting that legacy media outlets such as the New York Times and the Washington Post were rewarded with Pulitzer Prizes for propagating political disinformation. The claim is made that those awards should be stripped from journalists who disseminated out-of-context and false intelligence to push a political narrative in service of the Democrats and associated intelligence actors.

The transcript discusses a set of emails and intelligence claims regarding the 2016 U.S. election and the narratives surrounding Russia, Hillary Clinton, and the Trump campaign. It states that documents contain emails allegedly from the senior vice president of the George Soros Open Society Foundation. One email quotes a Clinton campaign adviser saying, “it will be a long term affair” and to “demonize Putin and Trump,” and adds that, “later, the FBI will put more oil into the fire.” Other emails are said to reveal that Hillary Clinton approved the idea of tying Trump and Russia to election interference, describing it as a scheme hoping the allegations would distract people from her own email scandal. The documents are presented as providing clear evidence that Hillary Clinton’s campaign was behind the Russia hoax, and that the FBI knew what the Clinton team was up to, acknowledging that the information they were receiving about the Trump campaign may have come from the Clinton camp. Despite these claims, the transcript asserts that the Obama-era intelligence community proceeded with a 2017 assessment concluding that Russia aspired to help Trump win the election.

According to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, multiple intelligence community assessments released before the November 2016 election concluded that Russia lacked both the intent and capability to impact the election's outcome. Gabbard has been making public statements and releasing documents to support her allegation that President Obama is guilty of treason and conspired with Hillary Clinton regarding the intelligence community's assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
