We’ve danced around this subject for years. It was an open secret, though the concrete evidence was never presented for numerous reasons. Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard has done that, with more reportedly on the way. Whistleblowers are also coming out of the woodwork. The Russian Collusion Hoax is one of the most damaging and significant scandals in recent memory. It showed how the intelligence community weaponized and twisted information to go after Donald Trump, but who ordered the code red? Again, we all knew, and his name is all over the documents from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
John Brennan and James Comey are already under investigation by the FBI for their conduct in this fiasco. But what about Barack Obama? He ordered a new intelligence assessment to be drafted, one that made sure it backed up the liberal narrative of Russian interference. In contrast, the IC’s initial consensus—the right one—said Moscow didn’t have the capabilities to have the impact that the MSNBC pundit class was implying daily. This order, which was directed during the infamous meeting on December 9, 2016, was to include the infamous, unverified, and now-debunked Steele Dossier —a document that even then-DNI James Clapper considered to be garbage.
Yet, any analyst who voiced concerns was silenced. The piece of biased political opposition research funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign set off this whole circus. It led to illegal FISA warrants being issued on Trump campaign officials and the surveillance of the Trump campaign.
Again, all of this was spearheaded by Mr. Barry O and his crew, who allegedly worked with Clinton aides to dig up dirt on Trump, in concert with the State Department, IC, NSA, and other Deep State entities. None of this could’ve been accomplished without the executive’s knowledge. In this case, without Obama’s blessing.
The last part of that December 9 meeting between Obama and his Deep State cronies was targeted media leaks, to generate as much chaos for the Trump transition team. Is this a slow drip? Or is there enough here to put Obama on notice? Gabbard did send a criminal referral to the Justice Department, though we don’t know who is on the document. It could be one of many Obama aides who are neck-deep in this operation.
The Democrats couldn’t stomach losing, so they degraded the trust in our institutions, weaponized intelligence, and tried to jail Trump on numerous occasions, culminating with the Mar-a-Lago raid in August 2022. That was the moment when the left crossed the Rubicon. Trump won the 2024 Republican primaries and mounted the greatest political comeback in history. Now, with him back in the White House, all the dirty laundry is going to be unsealed, ensuring the political class and the Democrats can never get away with this coup again.
They raided Trump’s home. Now, Obama’s residence could and should be next. Cuff the man; no one is above the law.
After the Release of the Russian Collusion Docs, We Know Why Obama Tried to Fire His NSA Director
If you don’t sign onto this alleged seditious conspiracy, you’re a problem. You’re a weak link, someone who could implode the whole scheme. President Barack Obama, who’s been named as the ringleader for the Russian collusion hoax, tried to do just that to National Security Agency Director Admiral Mike Rogers a little after the 2016 election (via ABC News):
President Obama is considering a recommendation by Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to separate the commands of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command that could lead to the removal of Admiral Mike Rogers who heads both commands.
Rogers’ potential removal as the head of the National Security Agency was first reported by the Washington Post.
The White House, the Defense Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment on the reports.
According to a U.S. official, in September Carter and Clapper recommended to Obama a split between the commands of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command that would result in the removal of Admiral Mike Rogers as the head of both commands.
Rogers would survive, remaining at his post until 2018 but we know why Obama was considering an intelligence restructure: Rogers wouldn’t sign off giving the unverified and knowingly false Steele Dossier high confidence marks.
Obama ordered a new intelligence assessment be drafted after the IC said that Russians didn’t interfere in the 2016 election, running counter to the liberal narrative that exploded into a total media circus that damaged the first Trump presidency. The former president, and now main suspect in manufacturing the hoax, ordered then-DNI Clapper to include the dossier, which formed the basis for this circus. Clapper also thought the dossier was garbage but went along with the plot anyway.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard confirmed today that she has referred Barack Obama to the DOJ for prosecution.
Speaking to reporters at the White House Wednesday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirmed former President Barack Obama has been referred to the Department of Justice for criminal investigation. The referral comes after Gabbard investigated the origins of the 2016 Russia hoax against President Donald Trump and found Obama directed high ranking officials in his administration, including CIA Director John Brennan, to cook intelligence and claim Russia colluded with Trump to win the White House. The discredited Steele Dossier was used to carry out the order.
“We have referred and will continue to refer all of these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI,” Gabbard said after a question from Emily Jashinsky. “The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment.”
“There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President Barack Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false,” she continued.
When asked if she believes Obama committed treason, she said, “That’s a question for Attorney General Pam Bondi.”
On Wednesday, Gabbard released additional information and declassified a 2016 report detailing intelligence that showed Russia did not work to get Trump elected.
A number of new documents related to the Russian collusion hoax have been released, thanks to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Barack Obama’s fingerprints are all over them. Not that we didn’t know his office or him personally was involved in this plot; he had to be. Some of these moves couldn’t have been green-lighted without his permission or his knowledge. The new intelligence assessment that knowingly elevated false intelligence—the Steele dossier—to credible status to bolster a fake narrative about Russian collusion is at the core of these disclosures. And Barack Obama ordered the code red. That document is where this whole circus began.
Former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey are already under scrutiny at the FBI over their conduct in this matter. Obama should be next. And maybe Joe Biden? Former Rolling Stone contributing editor Matt Taibbi was on Megyn Kelly’s show, where she brought up something he wrote, though he couldn’t spill more details: he has a source that puts Mr. Biden in the crosshairs, alleging that the former president might have also spied on Mr. Trump. It’s from a piece Taibbi wrote that mostly centers on how Barack Obama is now seen as a point person in the collusion hoax (via Racket News) [emphasis mine]:
Mainstream press outlets like the New York Times and Politico have already run pieces quoting Democratic Party mouthpieces shrugging off Gabbard’s reports as “baseless” and an attempt to “change the subject,” but coverage may not matter, as the investigation into the Trump-Russia hoax is no longer about trying to change hearts and minds. Multiple sources say Gabbard’s team is focused on “accountability” by gathering evidence for court-ready cases. The matter may soon need a special prosecutor, putting Obama in the same position Trump occupied in the first two years of his presidency, on the run from a high-profile fox hunt.
The information from Gabbard’s office was not the only news on the Russiagate front. This investigation is not just about “ten-year-old news,” as has been a common talking point, but may also involve never-reported Biden-era issues. A source close to the investigation said yesterday that the DOJ is focusing on conspiracy charges and looking at conduct “from 2016 to 2024.” Another with ties to the administration said “President Trump’s national security team is looking at evidence that members of his 2024 campaign were spied on as well.”
All of that is yet to be determined.
When pressed by Kelly, Taibbi said all will be revealed in due time:
