The Receipts Have Dropped: Tulsi Gabbard Posts Russiagate Evidence Obama Had Been Fearing

The Receipts Have Dropped: Tulsi Gabbard Posts Russiagate Evidence Obama Had Been Fearing

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released further evidence Wednesday morning, which she claims shows the Obama administration's direct involvement in the 2016 post-presidential election Russia hoax.

Gabbard, describing the plot as the "most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history," posted a series of lies which have, in her view, been debunked by declassifying a 2020 House Intelligence Committee report.

The report was an assessment of how the Obama administration manufactured a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, which portrayed Russia as having influenced the 2016 election in favor of Donald Trump.

That assessment was "false," Gabbard writes, noting that the Obama administration "conspired to subvert the will of the American people," and, working in conjunction with a willfully ignorant media, staged "a years-long coup against" Trump.


EXPOSING RUSSIAGATE: Hoo Boy - Gabbard Says She Will Release Info That Refutes Obama's Russia Hoax Defense

Obama Finally Responds to Russiagate Accusations With Lame Statement, Calls Them 'Bizarre’


Former President Barack Obama had meekly responded to Gabbard's initial bombshell revelations of the Russiagate coup by suggesting she had manufactured the evidence.

"These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction," a statement from an Obama spokesman said.

The allegations as of this morning appear to have been strengthened. Gabbard followed through on her promise to release evidence to "refute" the Obama defense.

The newly declassified House Intelligence Committee report appears to show the intelligence community had little in the way of direct evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton, but published it anyway. Why? Because Obama ordered them to do so.

"Acting on President Obama's orders, [then CIA Director John] Brennan directed a 'full review' and publication of raw HUMINT (Human Intelligence) information that had been collected before the election," an Appendix timeline reads.

"CIA officers said that some of this information had been held on the orders of [the CIA Director], while other reporting had been judged by experienced CIA officers to have not met longstanding publication standards," the note continues.

"Some of the latter was unclear or from unknown subsources, but would nonetheless be published after the election - over the objections of veteran officers - on orders of [Brennan] ... to support claims that aspired to help Trump win."

Brennan did Obama's bidding.

Another section of the House Intelligence Committee assessment — Finding #3 — shows CIA officers did not want to publish intelligence with "significant flaws" revolving around the narrative that Putin viewed Trump as his preferred candidate. The evidence, they determined, was mainly "unremarkable," while others contained "flawed information."

Those unremarkable and flawed points became "foundational sources" used to propagate the Russia hoax.

The latest release, along with other declassified documents, "confirm what many Americans have known," Gabbard stated.

"The Russia Hoax was a lie that was knowingly created by the Obama Administration to undermine the legitimacy and power of the duly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump."

President Trump, in no uncertain terms, has declared Obama's actions in driving the Russia hoax "treason."

"If you look at that, those papers, they have him stone cold. And it was President Obama," Trump told reporters. 

"Look, he's guilty. It's not a question. I like to say, let's give it time, but it's there; he's guilty. They ... this was treason, this was every word you can think of."

Friday’s revelations by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that outgoing Obama administration officials created the “Russia collusion” hoax vindicated earlier reporting by broadcaster Mark Levin and Breitbart News.

On Friday, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) released documents showing “overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how, after President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.”

The new allegation that emerges from the documents is that senior Obama officials defied existing intelligence assessments that suggested Russia had not interfered meaningfully in the 2016 election, and prepared new assessments to suggest that it had done so — “based on information that was known by those involved to be manufactured i.e. the Steele Dossier or deemed as not credible,” an ODNI statement said.

The revelations add weight to the hypothesis first proposed by Mark Levin on March 3, 2017, based on publicly available news reports, that President Barack Obama had taken steps to undermine his successor.

Breitbart News summarized Levin’s argument under the headline: “Mark Levin to Congress: Investigate Obama’s ‘Silent Coup’ vs. Trump.”
Breitbart News reported:

In summary: the Obama administration sought, and eventually obtained, authorization to eavesdrop on the Trump campaign; continued monitoring the Trump team even when no evidence of wrongdoing was found; then relaxed the NSA rules to allow evidence to be shared widely within the government, virtually ensuring that the information, including the conversations of private citizens, would be leaked to the media.

Levin called the effort a “silent coup” by the Obama administration and demanded that it be investigated.

In addition, Levin castigated Republicans in Congress for focusing their attention on Trump and Attorney General Sessions rather than Obama.

When President Trump referred to the allegations the next day that Obama had his “wires tapped,” the mainstream media — the source for Levin’s claims — claimed Trump was spouting a conspiracy theory.

The Washington Post said that Trump was “citing no evidence to support his explosive allegation.” CNN ran a headline implicating Levin and Breitbart, in a story by Brian Stelter: “Birth of a conspiracy theory: How Trump’s wiretap claim got started.” (The story has since apparently been pulled from CNN’s website.)

But the “conspiracy theory” turned out to be true. It was vindicated later in March 2017 by then-Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), who revealed that members of the outgoing administration had “unmasked” Americans in intelligence wiretaps. It was vindicated again by CNN in September 2017, when the network admitted — despite its early denials — that the Trump campaign had been “wiretapped.” The “Spygate” controversy — in which it was revealed that the FBI had used at least one informant to infiltrate the Trump campaign in 2016 — vindicated Levin and Breitbart again in May 2018. And the report of Special Counsel John H. Durham in May 2023 offered further vindication that the Obama administration had surveilled the Trump campaign.

Gabbard’s new revelations add further material for investigation, and suggest the preparations to target Trump began far earlier than previously reported. They also prompt questions about how much President Barack Obama himself knew about what his senior officials were doing to reverse a democratic election.

Claims of Stephen Colbert Having a #1 Show Is the Joke As Data Shows the True Leader in the Ratings

Claims of Stephen Colbert Having a #1 Show Is the Joke As Data Shows the True Leader in the Ratings

For the past week now, there has been media mewling over the announced cancelation of Stephen Colbert and “The Late Show.” The pundits/experts/hysterics have strained to claim that this was the result of President Trump leveraging CBS. As usual, the press jumping on this bandwagon of outrage are unbothered by the absence of facts. Colbert had zero connection to the “60 Minutes” lawsuit and settlement, and there is no evidence of Trump forcing the hand of the network.

Supposedly, goes their claim, Trump could not abide Colbert insulting and criticizing him and he has influenced them to be rid of the late night pest. The problem for the carping set is the details defy their wailing. Colbert has been on Trump’s case for close to a decade (he announced on his first show since the announcement “now the gloves are off,” as he continued to deliver the very same anti-Trump invective), and though CBS says he’s canceled, Stephen is not going anywhere until deep into 2026. He is hardly being yanked off the air. But the real tell is that Colbert has not been the one canceled – CBS is ending “The Late Show” entirely.

But to have their accusations hold up, these complainers hold onto what they feel is the linchpin argument; Colbert is being canceled while having the top-rated talk show. Problem. They need to overlook the competition that has been beating him on the regular in order to lodge this argument. For over a year now, “Gutfeld!” on Fox News has been putting up better numbers than “The Late Show,” and while Colbert sees his numbers eroding, Gutfeld has been building his audience steadily over the years.

It has been revealed that the primary reason behind the Colbert cancelation has been the unwieldy cost of the production. The host sports a hefty $15 million annual contract, and the show’s reported 200 member staff leads to a $100 million operating budget. As a result, “The Late Show” is losing $40 million for CBS each year. This is all the reason to yank the power cord on the show.

Fox News explained to us that by comparison, “Gutfeld!” operates on a smaller budget and crew. They explained his staff is roughly 10% the size of Colbert’s, and his operating expense is nowhere near $10 million. There is another detail that needs to be ignored. Gutfeld has explained how his show has challenges bringing in writers, as well as having entertainment figures coming on his show because of the rampant fear that they will become blacklisted in Hollywood. So as these critics are barking about Colbert allegedly being targeted, Gutfeld operates with a constant stream of resistance from these same figures.

The irony of this was realized recently when Hollywood was in shutdown over the WGA writers strike. As all the other late shows had to shut down during the work stoppage, “Gutfeld!” was on the air. This was the result that as his program is shunned by the industry he has a tight knit group of comedy friends for his writers room, and since they are not welcomed in the industry, they are not in the guild. The irony now is that same writers union wants to investigate the decision behind this cancelation.

What is revealing over all of this wailing is that we need to pretend that shows are not regularly canceled, and that comedians have not been targeted for their views. Anyone recall the outrage delivered to Tony Hinchcliffe for his routine at Donald Trump’s rally in New York during the election? Apparently, that was acceptable silencing of a comedian’s free speech.

The obliviousness in the Colbert outrage is heard from those declaring there needs to be an investigation into whether he was canceled for political reasons. Considering the host only welcomed Democratic politicians and decidedly left-leaning members of the press, politics has always been a feature of the show in recent years. It is also why he has seen his audience dissolving as his repetitive routine of generating clap-ter has tired out the viewers.

The need to build this business decision into a Trump-caused calamity runs into the familiar issue with most complaints about this president; they are sorely lacking in accurate facts.

Smooth MOVE: NBC News Just Accidentally Proved Trump's DOJ Is Onto Something with Obama and Russiagate

imgflip

Do you know how we know these new allegations around Obama and Russiagate from Tulsi Gabbard's latest doc dump are likely true? Not just because of the documents (which even the Pulitzer-Winning WaPo called JAW-DROPPING), no no.

We know because of the way the mainstream media is reacting. 

If this were truly a nothing-burger, they wouldn't be paying any attention or they'd try and deflect with some asinine claim like the ones they made up about Trump calling neo-Nazis very fine people.

Instead, we are getting stories like this one, from NBC News:

Rewriting history?

REALLY?

WOW.

From NBC News:

President Donald Trump’s intelligence chiefs are conducting a systematic campaign to rewrite the history of the 2016 election, seeking to reverse an eight-year-old assessment that Russia waged an information war to boost Trump’s candidacy.

National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe have cited declassified emails to allege in social media posts and television appearances that Obama administration officials manipulated intelligence and conspired to undermine the legitimacy of Trump’s electoral victory in 2016.

But wait, there's this as well:

A three-year investigation by special counsel John Durham reported no criminal conspiracy by Obama administration officials to sabotage Trump, and Durham filed no charges against CIA officials.

We covered how half-assed Durham's investigation was earlier today.

And c'mon, they mean to tell us the government didn't find itself at fault? NO WAY!

Lies, and the government investigating ITSELF.

It's probably very lucrative being the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party.

Dem Consultant Carville Offers Fix for 'Cracked-Out Clown Car' Democrat Party, and We're Here For It

Dem Consultant Carville Offers Fix for 'Cracked-Out Clown Car' Democrat Party, and We're Here For It

"Constipated. Leaderless. Confused. A cracked-out clown car. Divided. These are the words I hear my fellow Democrats using to describe our party as of late. The truth is they’re not wrong: The Democratic Party is in shambles."

Those are the opening words in an op-ed written by veteran Democrat strategist James Carville, and published by The New York Times on Monday. 

The crotchety, Gollum-like, "Ragin' Cajun" went on to rip his party a new one, and as much as Carville loathes the ground on which Donald Trump and the Republicans walk, the bitter old dude was largely on-point about the state in which the Democrat Party now finds itself — with every one of its problems intentionally self-inflicted.

The most bizarre — and funniest — part of the current state of affairs of the Democrat Party is its abject refusal to stop hitting itself in the head with a hammer — the same TDS-riddled hammer with which it's been hitting itself since Donald and Melania Trump rode down the Trump Tower "golden escalator" in June 2015 to announce that Mr. Trump would seek the Republican Party's 2016 presidential nomination.

While Democrat muckety-mucks and their lapdogs in the quasi-official Democrat media laughed like hyenas at the notion that Trump had the audacity to believe he could win the 2016 election, the laughter quickly turned to what we now refer to as Trump Derangement Syndrome after Donald bested Hillary Clinton, the Democrats' presumptive successor to the throne of Barack Obama.

The rest, as they say (whoever "they" are), is history — and what a miserable 10-year history it's been for the Democrats.

And now, after four troubled years under a cognitively-vacant figurehead president and a vice president best known for delivering word-salad speeches and inexplicably bizarre laughter, the Democratic Party is — just as James Carville observed — in shambles.

The party's current fate was further sealed by the Harris-Walz 2024 presidential campaign, which may go down as one of the most disastrous in U.S. political history. 

Rather than presenting a clear vision or meaningful policies to address the consequences of the Biden administration’s decisions, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and the Democrats focused on attacking Trump — ad nauseam — while also promoting the daylights out of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives, and defending the Biden administration's intentional importation of millions upon millions of illegal aliens. 

And last, but certainly not least, Trump continues on a history-making winning streak — all by following through on promises he made to the American people throughout his 2024 campaign.

This brings us back to Carville and his NYT op-ed.

Following Carville's opening paragraph, which I quoted at the top, the veteran political consultant launched into the NYC Democrat mayoral primary win of Zohran Mamdani, who can best be described as naively living somewhere between communism and full-blown Marxism. Let's just say the Ragin' Cajun wasn't at all happy about Mamdani's win:

Zohran Mamdani’s victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary wasn’t an isolated event. It represents an undeniable fissure in our political soul

We are divided along generational lines.: Candidates like Mr. Mamdani are impatient for an economic future that folks my age are skeptical can be delivered. 

We are divided along ideological lines: A party that is historically allegiant to the state of Israel is at odds with a growing faction that will not look past the abuses in Gaza and the West Bank. From "Medicare for All" purists to Affordable Care Act reformists, the list goes on and on.

Ahh, yes — the list goes on and on.

From defending males pretending to be females beating the bejesus out of actual females in female sporting events to supporting on-demand abortion (until birth, in many cases) to defending "the worst of the worst" illegal aliens against legal deportation, the Democrat Party's list of priorities, positions, and policies looks like something from an anti-Democrat satire site. 

Toss in the Democrats' manic obsession with Trump, and refusal to offer policies to fix the wrongs of the Biden years, and is it any wonder that even staunchly opinionated Democrats like James Carville have had enough?

"The Democratic Party is steamrolling toward a civilized civil war."

Hell yeah, it is, as Carville wrote, explaining:

It’s necessary to have it. It’s even more necessary to delay it. The only thing that can save us now is an actual savior, because a new party can be delivered only by a person — see Barack Obama in 2008 and Bill Clinton in 1992. 

No matter how many podcasts or influencer streams our candidates go on, our new leader won’t arrive until the day after the midterms in November 2026, which marks the unofficial-yet-official beginning of the 2028 presidential primary contest. No new party or candidate has a chance for a breakthrough until that day.

Not to rain on Carville's pity-party parade, but what Democrat politician — name just one or two — can come anywhere even close to being seen as a "savior" of the Democrat party in 2028?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? California Gov. Gavin Newsom? Kamala Harris? Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz? The fact is, the farther down the proverbial bench you look, the worse the potential "saviors" look. And Carville knows it — I think.

Carville went on to list a number of "demands" the Democrat Party must stand by as the 2026 midterms draw ever closer, and the 2028 presidential election primaries will be here before we know it. 

Among those demands (emphasis, mine):

We demand a repeal of Mr. Trump’s spending law is the one word that should define the midterms.

We demand a repeal to protect Medicaid. Mr. Trump’s law will slash roughly $1.1 trillion from health care programs, stripping coverage from an estimated 11.8 million people over the next decade.

We demand a repeal to save the deficit. Not only will the new policy explode the national debt — the Congressional Budget Office estimates it could add $3.3 trillion over the next 10 years... 

We demand a repeal to end the endless wars, because the bill boosts military spending to $1 trillion for the very first time.

Last time I checked, the Democrats weren't in a position to demand anything. 

Moreover — and who'd a ever thunk it — when even James Carville, of all people, sounds like the voice of reason of the Democrat Party, things aren't looking good at all for a party fixated on its loathing of all things Donald Trump, and clings to radical positions that a majority of Americans oppose.

High on the Hogg? Former DNC Co-Chair Blasts Democrat Party After His Candidate Goes 'Down in Flames'


Near the end of his op-ed, Carville opined:

Soon it will no longer be possible to avoid a brawl between the factions ignited back in the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries. But for now, whether you’re the progressive Mr. Mamdani, the centrist former Representative Abigail Spanberger running for the Virginia governorship, or even Elon Musk, we can all agree on one thing: We demand a repeal. Onward to the midterms.

Perhaps James Carville would better serve his plan to resurrect the Democrat Party if he preached more about how out of touch with the American people the party now finds itself, and less about "demands" that were soundly rejected by voters in the 2024 election.
