DNI Tulsi Gabbard Exposes Conspiracy Used By Congress To Impeach President Trump IC Inspector General Atkinson aggressively advanced a so-called “whistleblower’s” narrative, using a witness who co-authored the 2017 Russia Hoax, that was used as the basis for Trump’s impeachment

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard releases never-before-seen documents exposing a coordinated effort by elements within the Intelligence Community (IC), including a former Inspector General (IG), to manufacture a conspiracy that was used as the basis to impeach President Trump in 2019.

During his preliminary investigation into President Trump’s July 2019 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, former IC IG Michael Atkinson did not follow standard IG procedures and relied upon politicized, manufactured narratives – only conducting interviews with four individuals: the Whistleblower, the Whistleblower’s friend who was a co-author of the January 2017 Russia Hoax Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) and close colleague of disgraced former FBI Agent Peter Strzok, and two character references who had zero firsthand knowledge of the July 2019 phone call.

Despite a lack of any firsthand evidence, IC IG Atkinson proceeded to take actions to weaponize the Whistleblower process and exceed his statutory jurisdiction by ignoring Department of Justice guidance and relying on only second-hand testimony to ensure the whistleblower complaint was released to Congress, referred to the FBI, and leaked to the propaganda media.

Then-House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) Chairman Adam Schiff and then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi used this false, second-hand narrative to create media intrigue and ultimately spark the basis to impeach President Trump in December of 2019.

I’ve been VERY pleasantly surprised by Tulsi and Rubio.

[ClearCase_guy]

It’s nice to know that stuff happened.
I know plenty of us here were pretty sure that stuff happened.
Now it seems as if stuff really happened.

It would be nice to see Deep State people get in trouble. But that’s in the category of stuff that won’t happen.

[adorno]

Impeachments; indictments, false allegations, false testimony...

it’s what the democrat party is about.

Not about policy and not about country. It’s about party first, and doing whatever it takes, even putting the country in danger, like they’ve done lately.

Democrats should change their party name to Demonspiracy Party. It’s also the anti-America party, and Iran and China are closer to American ideals than the democrats.

It’s not just about hating Trump. it’s about hating what America stands for.

Atkinson Transcripts and Background ICIG (CIA) Investigative Documents Released

April 13, 2026 | Sundance 

Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has retrieved, reviewed, declassified and forced the release of internal background documents related to the Intelligence Community’s collaborative effort to impeach President Donald J Trump in 2019.   {GO DEEP – BACKGROUND}

The HPSCI wants to take political credit for the release; however, the HPSCI was forced into this position by the diligent work of Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.

Without DNI Gabbard, these documents would never have seen sunlight.   This type of public information release is exactly why DNI Tulsi Gabbard has been targeted by friend and foe alike.

WASHINGTON, D.C.— Today, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released two declassified transcripts from 2019 hearings with the former Intelligence Community Inspector General, Michael Atkinson, following a security review from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). The Committee received the declassified transcripts from the ODNI the evening of Friday, April 10, 2026. These transcripts are from two hearings held to examine Atkinson’s role in an alleged whistleblower complaint, which ultimately led to Democrats’ first impeachment efforts against President Trump in December 2019. (link)

Looking closely at the information in these three documents makes it clear why the HPSCI never wanted them released. Both current and former members, including Republicans, are tied to a pattern of willful blindness, knowing the details yet choosing to stay silent for months and even years afterward.

Former HPSCI Chairman, then HPSCI Ranking Member Devin Nunes was a participant in the testimony.  Former HPSCI member, now CIA Director John Ratcliffe was a participant in the testimony.  Former HPSCI staff, now FBI Director Kash Patel was a participant in the testimony. [Think about it]

♦ Principle Players – The National Security Council leaker was Alexander Vindman.  The CIA “Whistleblower” was Eric Ciaramella.  The Intelligence Community Inspector General was Michael Atkinson.

There is a lot of information to review as the documents include:

(1) The CIA complaint from Ciaramella and subsequent ICIG investigation. (pdf)

(2) The first interview of the ICIG Atkinson by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), dated September 19, 2019. (pdf)

(3) The second interview of ICIG Atkinson dated October 4, 2019. (pdf)

In total there are about 450 pages of documents and transcripts to read and review.  The story they tell is remarkable as it outlines how internal people within the various intelligence agencies of the United States government, collaborated and used their positions of responsibility to target a sitting president for impeachment and removal.

In short, in addition to all the “Spygate” surveillance and “Russiagate” wrongdoing, these documents highlight the real and actionable activity by the U.S. Intelligence Community to work collaborative with congress during their targeting of President Trump.

Do not lose sight of the forest while surrounded by the details of the trees.

I will share much more detail about what evidence the documents show and put that detail into the context of what it means.  Unfortunately, there are some alarming realizations about how our government operates and the false entities within it who claim a position to fight against the corruption, while keeping their mouths shut about specific evidence of corruption.

Much more will follow, but right now I need to pray a little bit and maybe go for a walk.

Please begin to read the releases and share your thoughts in the comments below.

There are more documents that need to surface, more stuff that I will never relent from locating and finding methods to bring it out.  In the interim, thank you to Tulsi Gabbard for the painful truth we all need to absorb.

I’ve been VERY pleasantly surprised by Tulsi and Rubio.

Me too. I misjudged them both

Roman emperors dealt with conspirators in a definitive manner. Instead Nancy Pelosi will retire to a life of luxury financed by the astonishing wealth she accumulated while in “public service”. No doubt she will be the subject of more than one PhD history or political science thesis in the near future. American democracy is badly flawed.

[Recompennation]

Fake news does not care.
The only way to gain the attention of the democrat so called base is to hang any and all for treason which is what it was and what it still is.

There are about 450 pages of tax-financed documents and transcripts to peruse:
<><>outlines acts of tax-paid people in US govt intel agencies
<><>colluded using tax-paid positions of responsibility
<><>targeting an innocent sitting president for impeachment and removal.

In addition to the “Spygate” surveillance and “Russiagate” wrongdoing, these tax-paid documents highlight actionable activity by the tax-financed US Intelligence Community to collude with Congress using tax dollars to officially target Trump.

No charges, No convictions. This never happened in the minds of 80% of Americans.

Trump needs to go full Pinochet.

Same here! Rubio especially. He is my favorite cabinet member

[drypowder]

It’s more about the Democrats control and their opportunity of stealing America’s wealth and getting away with it so they can stay in control and continue stealing and to continue getting away with it. It’s one big Democrat RINO Deep State DC circle jerk.

So who is going to prison?

Who is getting fired?

Translation: Tulsi is not going anywhere and Trump will be pleased with Tulsi’s work on this issue!
