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.
Announcing that “Americans will finally learn the truth” about shady actions taken by senior officials in former President Barack Obama’s National Security Council (NSC), 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 brief noted that then-DNI James Clapper’s office determined that any actions by the Russians “probably were intended to cause psychological effects, such as undermining the credibility of the election process and candidates.”
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. --->READ MORE HEREGabbard: We Referred Obama Russia Docs to DOJ:
On “Fox & Friends” on Saturday, DNI Tulsi Gabbard stated that the recently released documents on intelligence regarding the origins the Russia investigation have been referred to the Department of Justice.
Gabbard said that “we are referring all of our documents to the Department of Justice for the purpose of accountability and action. No one, no matter who they are, no matter how high up they are or how powerful they may be, no matter who the intelligence officials or professionals were who were a part of this treasonous conspiracy, there must be accountability.” --->WATCH THE INTERVIEW HERE
