Gabbard Claims ‘Coordinated Effort’ by Intelligence Community to Advance Narrative to Impeach Trump

Whistleblower admitted on initial form they did not have direct knowledge of Trump's private communications Peter Pinedo By Peter Pinedo Fox News Published April 13, 2026 7:06pm EDT

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released newly declassified testimony that she alleges shows a "coordinated effort" by the intelligence community to "manufacture a conspiracy" used as the basis of President Donald Trump first impeachment.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Monday released two declassified transcripts from closed-door House Intelligence Committee hearings that Gabbard’s office says show former Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson advanced as credible a whistleblower complaint based on secondhand information from an individual who had previously worked with then-Vice President Joe Biden in Ukraine. Gabbard’s office argued that, based on this and other testimony, Atkinson’s actions "weaponize[d] the whistleblower process and exceed[ed] his statutory jurisdiction."

Atkinson’s investigation helped trigger the first impeachment of Trump by advancing what he deemed a "credible" whistleblower complaint regarding a July 2019 phone call between the president and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

We thought that stuff was happening.
And it turns out that stuff really was happening.

Will anyone go to prison? That’s the stuff that ain’t happening.

Still waiting for the flush and the pain-induced screams...

Certainly, about 18 months (so far) is far too long to wait...

Of course they are

They tried to assassinate him at least twice.

They have to suspect that eventually he will want to find out who was behind these attempts.

Of course they don’t want him in office.

When do they start considering treason and sedition as serious offenses? The deep state has made this crap acceptable. Hang a few hundred of these pigs and the rest will STFU.

Too bad the FBI is still in on it no matter what Patel thinks.

Lets help them out with at least one name to get them jump started: John Brennan

John McCain was also used to give faux bipartisan support as if it was some legitimate information while at the same time raising the integrity and confidence of the manufactured accusations.

I’m certain investigators can visit James Clapper for more details, he’s been ready to rollover for awhile judging by his facial expressions and limp wristed comments.

Name them

The names of the actors are already known, it is just a matter of competent investigators tying them to the events.

Who persuaded Trump to appoint IG Atkinson? There were a lot of backstabbers in the circle of "advisors" to the WH

Who persuaded Atkinson to confirm the whistle blower complaint raised an “urgent concern”, that it was 'credible” and of “urgent concern". He is a smart guy, but he no doubt brainstormed with some who it is now known must have blowing smoke.

Which members of Congress were allowed to sit in presentations to Congress?

Which intel officials...etc, etc.

Much is already known, IMO the only reason no one of significance will be named is because there are innocent lives at risk.

It’s not treason for Brennan, Comey, McCord, or the other Americans.

It is a seditious conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States.

If the Vindmans were in contact with Ukraine or Israel, it could be treason in their cases.

Something we all already knew. Justice will never be served and this black eye episode in American history will be brushed off and never taught in schools nor talked about. Get used to it.

Start non-stop arresting and charging of all the scumbags involved in this, or just STFU about it at this point. Ugh.

Now it’s the 25th they are beating the drums for. American’s can see this for what it is.

I’m amazed that our Constitution always the country to go thru these spasms and come out on top.
