Government conspiracies break down into two basic types, those of concealment and those of execution. The former are frighteningly common—Watergate, TWA 800, Benghazi. The latter are rare and potentially more destructive than even the “hide the decline” deep-sixing of Joe Biden’s senility.
“Russiagate,” for lack of a better term, looms as the most subversive conspiracy of execution in American history. Thanks to Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard, we have proof that it was not mere misjudgment.
On Friday, Gabbard lowered the boom. In her own words, “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.” Her bullet points go straight to the heart of the treason.
- In the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the Intelligence Community (IC) consistently assessed that Russia is “probably not trying … to influence the election by using cyber means.”
- On December 7, 2016, after the election, talking points were prepared for DNI James Clapper stating, “Foreign advaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome.”
- On December 9, 2016, President Obama’s White House gathered top National Security Council Principals for a meeting that included James Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe and others, to discuss Russia.
- After the meeting, DNI Clapper’s Executive Assistant sent an email to IC [intelligence community] leaders tasking them with creating a new IC assessment “per the President’s request” that details the “tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election.” It went on to say, “ODNI will lead this effort with participation from CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS.”
- Obama officials leaked false statements to media outlets, including The Washington Post, claiming, “Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election.”
- On January 6, 2017, a new Intelligence Community Assessment was released that directly contradicted the IC assessments that were made throughout the previous six months.
Gabbard continues, “After months of investigation into this matter, the facts reveal this new assessment was based on information that was known by those involved to be manufactured i.e. the Steele Dossier or deemed as not credible. This was politicized intelligence that was used as the basis for countless smears seeking to delegitimize President Trump’s victory, the years-long Mueller investigation, two Congressional impeachments, high level officials being investigated, arrested, and thrown in jail, heightened US-Russia tensions, and more.
One additional consequence of the coup, I would note, was the Republican loss of 41 House seats in 2018 election. Despite a revived economy, low inflation, and world peace, outlandish tales of President Trump’s alleged ties to Russia dominated the news through November. Well before Election Day, the Mueller people knew well there was no there there, but by prolonging the invesigation, they were able to keep it in the news.
Back to Tulsi: “The issue I am raising is not a partisan issue. It is one that concerns every American. The information we are releasing today clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government. Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people.”
Although Gabbard does not discuss the media’s role, the coup could not have proceeded without their cheerleading. During the 2016 campaign and after, inconvenient facts such as the funding of the dossier or its authorship had to drop-kick MSM journalists in the teeth before they noticed, let alone investigated.
By contrast, wrote journalist Matt Taibbi, breaking from the pack, the media “swallowed whole a massive disinformation campaign.” Even after journalists could see what a mess the dossier was, even after they learned it was simply bad opposition research funded by the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign, they continued to talk about its allegations as if they meant something.
The telling of this story showed contemporary journalism at its most partisan and most predictable. Big Media did as they had been doing for the previous twenty-plus years. They followed leads that supported their narrative and largely ignored those that did not. “For years,” observed Taibbi, “every hint the dossier might be true became a banner headline, while every time doubt was cast on Steele’s revelations, the press was quiet.”

This could get interesting.
Heart attacks, strokes, aneurisms, falls from cliffs, overturned kayaks........ all are required to destroy those involved in the ripping apart of the fabric of the Republic.
No mercy, no quarter. No jail
And yet, DU plants on FR are already calling this a lie.
Well…we know the crime and we know the players…..us huhhhh… what’s the hang up? 😡
I had a $21 error on my tax return and you’d think I was the Oklahoma Bomber!!
Obama also expelled 35 diplomats on short notice ( during Christmas week when many embassy holidayfunctions were planned); imposed sanctions on Russia for “ hacking”; seized control of embassy retreats where staff holidays were planned. Russia threatened to retaliate by closing the American school used by our embassy staff families in Russia. Which would have forced them home.
General Flynn, incoming Nat Sec Advisor, held talks with the Russian Ambassador to assure him the new Trump administration would review these diplomatic measures …so Putin did not relatiate.
The FBI used Flynn’s contact to target him as part of “ Russian election manipulation”… and the rest of what they did to ruin Gen Flynn and other Trump advisors….is history.
This was Plan A.
Plan B was a one-two-three punch: Covid-19, followed by the BLM color revolution, topped off by massive election fraud.
This is bigger than watergate. Nixon had no prior knowledge of the break in but was involved in the coverup. Obama was a treasonous president who used his power in all facets.
The most important word in your statement is “COULD.”
Sadly, I have just about ZERO FAITH, that anyone from Obama’s administration will be held accountable.
Here’s hoping Tulsi’s security team is as good as Trump’s.
You are correct. I have been posting here for well over 20 years. There are some postings that speak beyond poorly about President Trump. A little housecleaning is in order.
PREACH IT!!!!
All coordinated by Organizing America.
Lock him up with the rest, for sure, but I still think Barry isn’t smart enough to be “The Big Guy”. He was put up there as a candidate who couldn’t be questioned without there being shrieks of racism from the left.
Like everything else, Barack Hussein merely assented to what the cabal pre-planned.
The guy never had an original idea in his life.
It was all too convenient. That the several statistical miracles (swing state voting) were covered up was a great example of hive-mind behavior. It was so obvious. We will never know what the legitimate vote counts were.
The genesis of Obama’s depraved anti-Trump plot began with Hillary Clinton.
<><>On July 26, 2016, Hillary allegedly approved an illicit scheme to sully her political opponent
<><>she fabricated a plot about Trump “colluding with Russia” to rig the election.
<><>Hillary’s bogus smear was intended to distract from her own burgeoning email scandal.
<><>Hillary’s campaign commissioned and funded a lie-filled dossier supplied by Clinton confederates.
<><>The CIA discovered what Hillary had done and immediately alerted the Obama White House.
<><>two successive meetings took place on July 28 and Aug. 3, 2016,
<><>then-CIA Director John Brennan briefed then-president Obama and other top officials,
<><>including VP Biden, Dir of Natl Intelligence James Clapper, and FBI Director James Comey
<><>Brennan’s handwritten notes recounted Clinton’s nefarious plan
<><> she would vilify Donald Trump claiming interference by the Russian security service
<><>From that point on, it was a closely guarded high level Democrat secret.
<><>It was all a Democrat hoax, and the above-named participants well knew it.
<><>Yet, none of them had the integrity to step forward to tell Congress or Americans the truth.
<><>they dumbly colluded in silence
<><>Comey’s FBI acolytes launched a bogus investigation dubbed “Crossfire Hurricane.”
<><>They shamelessly weaponized US govt authority and contorted the law to persecute Trump.
<><>the fake “collusion narrative” was leaked to the Trump-hating media.
<><>yet the carefully planned Russia hoax failed to prevent Trump from winning the presidency,
<><> thus the same malevolent Democrat adversaries doubled down on the Clinton-financed scheme.
The new documents released by Gabbard show that a Dec. 8, 2016 draft of the President’s Daily Briefing (PDB) assessed that “Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure.”
But that conclusion, compiled by top intelligence agencies, did not conform to the vengeful Hillary’s “Trump collusion narrative.” Comey and the others apparently scuttled the PDB and concocted an alternative “get Trump” plan.
This might explain the farce of the ‘divorce’ hitting all the tabloids and talk shows. Get Big Mike some distance from the hubby so the flying mud doesn’t stick to her as much.
Watch this YouTube video with Benny Johnson and General Flynn.
It’s an eye opener for anyone who hasn’t been following it closely.
