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.

Fox News alert: Tulsi Gabbard releases a report alleging a conspiracy by Barack Obama and his intel agencies to sabotage Trump, brainwash the electorate, and undermine the legitimacy of the 2016 election. The report claims irrefutable evidence that Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment they knew was false, promoting a narrative that Russia interfered to help Trump win. Gabbard says a House Intel report locked in a CIA vault shows investigators spent over two thousand hours interviewing 20 CIA and FBI officials; the Obama administration allegedly doctored the intelligence to make it look like Putin and Trump stole the election. Brennan handpicked five CIA analysts; they were siloed; it was a rush job to publish before Trump was sworn in; not coordinated with other agencies. Four elements: Putin wanted Trump to win; Putin took action to help Trump win; Russians had blackmail on Trump (Steele dossier); Russians tried colluding with the Trump campaign. None of this was true; senior CIA officials refused; overruled by Brennan and Comey.

According to Fox News, declassified documents reveal Barack Obama knew the Russia investigation was a hoax but promoted it to undermine Donald Trump's presidency. DNI Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents showing Obama's intelligence officials briefed him weeks after the 2016 election that Russian and criminal actors did not impact the election results, nor did criminal activity reach the scale to change election outcomes. The report claims Obama and his staff directed intelligence agencies to create new reports supporting Russia collusion. An email allegedly shows Clapper's assistant tasked intelligence leaders with creating an intelligence assessment detailing Moscow's tools and actions to influence the 2016 election, per the president's request. Gabbard described this as a conspiracy to subvert the will of the American people, calling for prosecution and making a criminal referral to the Department of Justice. The report concludes that Hillary Clinton created the dossier, and Obama directed the alleged scheme.

A report alleges that President Obama and his intel agencies conspired to sabotage Donald Trump, brainwash the electorate, and undermine the 2016 election. According to the report, Obama directed the creation of a false intelligence community assessment claiming Russia interfered to help Trump win. The report claims that Obama ordered the CIA to create a new assessment after Trump's victory. John Brennan allegedly handpicked five CIA analysts, siloed them, and rushed the assessment before Trump's inauguration. The assessment allegedly contained four key false elements: Putin wanted Trump to win, Putin helped Trump win, the Russians had blackmail on Trump (the Steele dossier), and the Russians colluded with the Trump campaign. The report claims that the Obama administration cherry-picked intelligence, lied about sources, and suppressed contradictory intelligence. Some believe that 60% of Democrats believed the Russians hacked voting machines to help Trump win. Solid intelligence suggested Putin had no preference and expected Hillary to win, possessing compromising information on her that was never released. The report suggests Obama and his spy chiefs knew Putin didn't prefer Trump or collude with him, but promoted the narrative anyway. Evidence purportedly points to Obama leading the manufacturing of this assessment, potentially implicating him in criminal behavior. Brennan allegedly committed perjury when he lied to Congress about the Steele dossier.

The speaker claims that a declassified oversight report reveals irrefutable evidence that President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of a false intelligence community assessment (ICA). This assessment promoted a contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump win, which the speaker alleges was untrue. The report supposedly details how they manufactured findings, suppressed evidence, and disobeyed intelligence standards to subvert the will of the American people and undermine Trump's legitimacy, launching a "years long coup." The speaker asserts that Putin's principal interest was to undermine faith in the US democratic process, not to favor a specific candidate. The speaker claims that John Brennan and the intelligence community intentionally suppressed intelligence that Putin was saving damaging material on Hillary Clinton until after the election, including possible criminal acts. Brennan and the IC allegedly mischaracterized intelligence, relied on the Steele dossier, and excluded information contradicting the ICA's claims about Putin's support for Trump. The speaker states that multiple intelligence community assessments concluded Russia had neither the intent nor capability to impact the election outcome.

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.

In 2016, nobody believed it possible for Donald Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton. When he did, it seems president Obama just couldn't take it. He convened in 12/09/2016 meeting in the White House Situation Room just weeks after Hillary Clinton conceded. He ordered an ICA or intelligence community assessment to functionally attribute Trump's unexpected win to the doings of Vladimir Putin. That Obama ordered phony assessment was about politics, not national security or the truth.

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.

The speaker notes that mainstream media outlets are strangely silent about declassified Russia hoax material. The speaker is not surprised because many of these outlets received leaks from John Brennan, James Clapper, and their people almost immediately after the Obama directed National Security Council meeting. These leaks occurred weeks before the intelligence community assessment was completed or even drafted. The media outlets printed what they were told without vetting or evidence because it didn't exist. These outlets repeated and built upon this lie created by President Obama's administration and went on to win awards.

The transcript reports that Tulsi Gabbard released a House Intel report alleging a conspiracy by President Obama and U.S. intelligence agencies to undermine the 2016 election and Donald Trump. It claims Obama ordered a new intelligence community assessment on Russia’s interference, handpicking five CIA analysts to draft a rushed, siloed report with only one person in charge. The four elements cited as the basis of the Russia hoax are: Putin wanted Trump to win; Putin took action to help Trump win; the Russians had blackmail on Trump (the Steele dossier); and that the Russians tried colluding with the Trump campaign. It asserts there was no reliable intelligence to support these allegations, senior CIA officials refused to traffic in them, but were overruled by Brennan and Comey, who allegedly cherry-picked, misquoted, and suppressed countervailing intelligence, including anonymous postings. The document alleges Obama continued promoting the hoax, mentions potential criminal implications, and states the Steele dossier was not used by the CIA. It ends with accountability rhetoric.

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.

Fox News alert: Tulsi Gabbard releases a report alleging a conspiracy by a sitting president, Barack Obama, and his intel agencies to sabotage the president-elect Donald Trump, brainwash the electorate, and undermine the legitimacy of an election. There is irrefutable evidence detailing how Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment they knew was false, promoting a narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump win, selling it to the American people as true. Gabbard obtained a House Intelligence Committee report locked away in a CIA vault for almost a decade. Investigators spent over two thousand hours interviewing 20 CIA and FBI officials, and it shows the Obama administration doctored intelligence to make it look like Putin and Trump stole the election. A month after Trump beat Hillary, Obama wasn’t satisfied with intelligence reporting and ordered his CIA director to create a new assessment of how Russia interfered with the election. This was a highly unusual move. John Brennan handpicked five CIA analysts to write the assessment, and they were siloed; none knew what the others were doing, and only one analyst was in charge of drafting the report. It was not routine, and it was rushed to publish before Trump’s inauguration. Nothing was coordinated with other intelligence agencies. Basically, this was “home cooking” for Barack Obama. Four key elements were repeated to form the basis of the Russia hoax and the Mueller investigation: 1) that Vladimir Putin wanted Trump to win; 2) Putin took action to help Trump win; 3) the Russians had blackmail on Trump (the Steele dossier); and 4) that the Russians tried colluding with the Trump campaign. None of this was ever true; there was no reliable intelligence to support these allegations. Senior CIA officials repeatedly refused to traffic in these allegations, but were overruled by CIA director Brennan and FBI director Comey, who insisted they be pushed without verifiable evidence. The Obama administration cherry-picked intelligence, lied about sources, misquoted sources, did not corroborate claims, suppressed intelligence counter to their narratives, and even used anonymous Internet postings. Rank-and-file CIA admitted violations of tradecraft standards; a massive pressure campaign came from the top, with unusual directives from political appointees, the CIA director, and Obama himself. This is how the Russia hoax was born. Donald Trump knows that the Russians helped him win in 2016. Putin hated Hillary Clinton, with a noted preference for the opponent he disliked least. It was Russia in a systematic effort to interfere in the election and advance Trump’s prospects. The report notes that at one point, 60% of Democrats believed the Russians hacked voting machines to help Trump win, but the report shows Russians sought to create chaos and undermine democracy; solid intelligence suggested Putin had no preference, and expected Hillary to win, holding compromising dirt on her that he never released. If Putin wanted Trump to win, why didn’t he drop the dirt? There were high-level DNC emails detailing Hillary’s psycho-emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and a daily regimen of tranquilizers; Brennan and the intelligence community mischaracterized intelligence and relied on dubious sources to create a narrative of Putin’s preference for Trump, though Obama and intelligence leaders knew Putin did not collude with Trump and did not direct his people to help Trump win, yet they published it anyway. Obama and his intel spies purportedly cooked intelligence to look like Putin preferred Trump, undermining faith in elections and causing chaos. Do you believe this implicates Obama in criminal behavior? There is a referral of documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate criminal implications. Evidence points to Obama leading the manufacturing of the intelligence assessment. Even two years after the election, Obama pushed a hoax he knew wasn’t true. Brennan, Comey, and others may have liability. Trey Gowdy claims Brennan committed perjury for lying to Congress. When asked who commissioned the Steele dossier, responses indicate the CIA did not rely on it; it was not part of the intelligence community assessment. The broadcast concludes with the assertion that what happened to these officials is not revenge, but accountability, while noting ongoing questions about potential criminal action.

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.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard unveiled 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 private actions contrasted with publicly presented peaceful transfer of power, as Obama allegedly sought to sow discord and sabotage his successor. The released evidence purportedly confirms that the Obama administration manufactured politicized intelligence that was later used to justify baseless smears against President Trump in an effort to delegitimize his victory before he took the oath of office. The speaker asserts that President Trump never had anything to do with Russia, and that the Russia collusion hoax was a massive fraud perpetuated from the start, with Obama and others allegedly knowing the truth. The speaker names several officials as part of the alleged scheme: former CIA director John Brennan, former director of national intelligence James Clapper, former FBI director James Comey, former deputy director Andrew McCabe, and other officials. The report is said to corroborate that there was no collusion or corruption by Trump, but rather wrongdoing by Barack Obama and the weaponized intelligence agencies at the time. The Russia hoax is described as a blatant lie, devised by Democrat political operatives, approved by Obama, and leaked to the media to launch a years-long witch hunt against Trump and his first administration. Allies of the president, including Donald Trump Jr., were smeared as Russian assets, with some having their lives destroyed due to the allegations. The speaker notes that the first two years of Trump’s presidency were overshadowed by this fake distraction, with extensive resources, time, and political capital spent debunking the lies from the highest levels of government. Nearly ten years later, declassification of documents by the director is said to reveal the truth, vindicating Trump, his family, and allies who were smeared. The speaker claims there is now damning evidence implicating those who attempted to sabotage a duly elected president and harmed the republic. Thanks to work by CIA Director Ratcliffe and committee Chairman Rick Crawford, a newly declassified 2020 report from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, declassified by DNI Gabbard, allegedly finds that the intel community did not have direct information that Vladimir Putin wanted to help elect Trump in 2016; rather, Russia was preparing for a Hillary Clinton victory, but was allegedly steered by Obama’s unusual direction to publish implausible intelligence suggesting otherwise to sabotage the incoming president. The speaker describes this as one of the greatest political scandals in American history and criticizes reporters from legacy outlets, including the New York Times and Washington Post, who allegedly continued to propagate the hoax, saying they were awarded Pulitzer Prizes for disinformation. The call is made for those awards to be stripped from journalists who produced disinformation in service of the Democrat Party and certain intelligence officials.

Fact-Checking the New York Times' "Daily" Podcast's Disinformation-Filled Russiagate Episode
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Megyn Kelly’s show centers on Russia Gate coverage and how the New York Times has handled it. The host highlights Michael Schmidt, the Times investigative reporter tied to leaks via a Columbia professor, and notes Schmidt’s appearance on the Daily and later promotion on MSNBC with his wife as anchor. The segment accuses the Times of withholding key context and presenting Schmidt as an unquestioned expert while neglecting his involvement and conflicts of interest. Panelists recount the evolution of the Russia inquiry: Obama ordered an assessment after Russia meddled in 2016 to determine what happened, with conclusions that Putin tried to hurt Hillary and help Trump. They contrast that with the House Intelligence Committee’s HypSY report, which they say shows the ICA relied on cherry-picked intelligence and that the Steele dossier influenced the process. NSA head Mike Rogers warned in a December 2016 email that he hadn’t seen enough underlying intelligence to support the conclusion. The conversation touches on declassifications showing disputes within the intelligence community, questions about Obama’s role, and a broader claim that media and intelligence officials orchestrated a disinformation campaign to frame Trump as loyal to Moscow. They cite Tulsi Gabbard’s declassification, the Republican and Democratic investigations, and calls for transparency and accountability, including intelligence reform and increased scrutiny of sources—while contending the mainstream press often promotes narratives without adequately vetting them.
