Gabbard Accuses Obama of Undermining American Will with Russia Probe

 July 19, 2025, NEWS

Hold onto your hats, folks—Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just dropped a bombshell that could shake the foundations of trust in our political system.

Fox News reported that Gabbard has declassified a report alleging that former President Barack Obama and his national security team orchestrated a deliberate campaign to challenge the 2016 election results by pushing a Trump-Russia collusion narrative, an act she calls a direct attack on the democratic choice of American voters.

On Friday, Gabbard took to the airwaves on "Hannity" to unveil over 100 documents she claims expose a calculated move by Obama and key figures like James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, and Susan Rice to craft what she terms a "manufactured" piece of intelligence.

Unveiling an Alleged Political Conspiracy

According to Gabbard, this wasn't just a policy disagreement—it was a refusal to "accept the decision of the American people" after Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

She argues this narrative wasn’t a mere misstep but a purposeful attempt to "subvert the American people's will," a phrase that cuts deep when you consider the sanctity of our electoral process. Well, turns out actions have consequences, and Gabbard is pulling no punches in calling this out.

The fallout, as Gabbard detailed on "Hannity," was staggering—think a nearly $40 million Mueller investigation, congressional impeachments, relentless attacks on Trump and his family, and even arrests of senior team members.

Costly Consequences of Collusion Claims

She didn’t stop there, pointing to heightened tensions with Russia as another bitter fruit of this alleged scheme. If true, this isn’t just politics—it’s a reckless gamble with national security.

Gabbard also zeroed in on the Steele dossier, claiming it was a central piece of this "manufactured assessment" despite being deemed unreliable by the intelligence community well before the election. Talk about building a house on sand.

By Friday night, she was already framing this as more than partisan bickering, calling it "important to every single one of us as Americans" on "Hannity." That’s a rare call for unity in today’s divided landscape, and it’s worth a listen.

Gabbard Demands Accountability and Action

Come Saturday morning, Gabbard doubled down on "Fox and Friends," labeling the Obama administration’s actions a "treasonous conspiracy." That’s a heavy charge, but she’s not backing off, insisting that no one, regardless of power or position, should escape scrutiny.

She emphasized, "No one, no matter how high up they are or how powerful they may be," should be above accountability. It’s a principled stand, even if it ruffles feathers in high places.

Gabbard isn’t just talking—she’s acting, announcing she’s referring these declassified documents to the Department of Justice for a deeper probe. She’s clear that it’s not enough to investigate; there must be real "action" and accountability to preserve trust in our republic.

Restoring Trust in Democratic Processes

Her words on "Hannity" linger: "The American people's ability to have faith and trust in the integrity of our democratic republic is literally what's at stake." If that doesn’t wake us up to the gravity here, what will?

Efforts to get comments from Obama and his former team—including Clapper, Comey, Brennan, Rice, Lynch, and McCabe—have so far yielded no response, as reported by Fox News Digital.

Silence can speak volumes, though it’s only fair to await their side of this explosive story.
