The newly declassified report from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard shakes the political world as it claims a plot by former President Barack Obama to manipulate the 2016 election outcome.
According to Fox News, the report allegedly exposes the Obama administration's involvement in initiating the Trump-Russia collusion investigation, raising questions about the integrity of U.S. democracy.
Director Gabbard revealed the findings during her appearance on "Hannity," accusing Obama of orchestrating efforts to question Donald Trump's presidency through the controversial Trump-Russia narrative. The unclassified documents are said to show evidence that several officials, including former FBI Director James Comey and CIA Director John Brennan, played roles in the affair.
The report highlights that significant lawmakers and intelligence figures built a narrative to challenge the post-election landscape, according to Gabbard. She claims that Obama, alongside James Clapper and Susan Rice, facilitated intelligence gathered to reverse Trump's victory.
Gabbard said the alleged acts subverted the people's choice, calling them an extensive attempt to disenfranchise voters through incorrect and biased intelligence. The report ties consequences like costly inquiries and tense U.S.-Russia relations to the alleged actions of the Obama aides.
Fox News Digital reached out to the offices of Obama and other concerned officials for their perspectives on the accusations. Meanwhile, Gabbard remarked on the financial and social costs incurred due to prolonged investigations sparked by these unsubstantiated claims.
In response to the revelations, Gabbard has opted to hand over the materials to the Department of Justice. Her intent is for further inquiry and suitable action. During her appearance on shows like "Fox and Friends," she articulated the need for transparency and justice.
Tulsi Gabbard stressed, “I am referring all of these documents that we have found and uncovered, referring them to the Department of Justice for further investigation. Accountability and action; not just investigation, but action. Accountability has to take place. The American people's ability to have faith and trust in the integrity of our democratic republic is literally what's at stake and therefore the future of our ability to exist as the country that we know it. This accountability is critical to make sure that this never happens again. Exposing the truth and naming those who are responsible should drive that accountability that has to take place.”
In her discourse on the declassified report, she pointed to the Steele dossier, claiming its unreliability was well noted by intelligence professionals prior to the election. The dossier became a notorious element of the broader Trump-Russia narrative.
The assertions have sparked deep controversy and discussion across the political spectrum. While Gabbard demands answers, she characterizes the alleged Obama-led actions as "treasonous." She reiterated the critical nature of accountability for such alleged conduct.
The call for responsibility spans all involved parties, urging that no official, no matter their rank or influence, should escape scrutiny. Gabbard underlined that assigning blame is fundamental, to not only charge someone but to uphold faith in the government system.
The next steps hinge on how Justice embraces the case brought forward. The fallout from this declassification continues to unfold as further reactions and escalations are anticipated in the weeks to come.
