Trump intelligence chief accuses ex-president and others of ‘treasonous conspiracy’ for alleging Russian interference

Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, has called for Barack Obama and former senior US national security officials to be prosecuted after accusing them of a “treasonous conspiracy” intended to show that Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election win was due to Russian interference.

She said Obama and senior officials in his administration had “[laid] the groundwork for … a years-long coup” against Trump after his victory over Hillary Clinton by “manufacturing intelligence” to suggest that Russia had tried to influence the election. That included using a dossier prepared by a British intelligence analyst, Christopher Steele, that they knew to be unreliable, Gabbard claimed.

The post-election intelligence estimates contrasted with findings reached before the election, which indicated that Russia probably was not trying to interfere.

In extraordinary comments calling for prosecutions, she added: “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.

“No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to ensure nothing like this ever happens again. The American people’s faith and trust in our democratic republic and therefore the future of our nation depends on it.”

Gabbard, a former Democratic member of Congress, said she was passing documents supporting her case to the justice department. They included a partially redacted intelligence community assessment from the Obama administration on...

When they hit Trump with lawfare, they lifted the stigma of not going after former Presidents...beautiful.

Great idea, but not in DC, where no jury or judge would convict him or Hillary. GITMO comes to mind for such treason. We have waited long enough to get rid of the hundreds of vermin in political power.

This is surreal. Here in America, the Director of National Intelligence @DNIGabbard is now stating emphatically that a former President of the United States @BarackObama attempted a coup against the @POTUS @realDonaldTrump .

This is why @TulsiGabbard was attacked so relentlessly… pic.twitter.com/v0dK5xoKwb— General Mike Flynn (@GenFlynn) July 18, 2025

The Democrat Party hoped to avoid this, but they failed in Butler, PA.

“The Democrat Party hoped to avoid this, but they failed in Butler, PA.”

And CNN had a front row seat to what they thought would be their final victory.

“.. Lawfare by bought stooge Judges.”

Good connecting of the dots, many of these stooge judges were appointed by Hussein himself. I see fun in the future as many of these judges retire early all of a sudden...and maybe leave the country.

Makes Watergate look like pick-up-sticks. This was the breaking of every election law under the sun.

Will Obama claim Presidential Immunity? That would be ironic.

I like that Gabbard doesn’t talk to the media, doesn’t generate controversy, is rarely heard from

It means she is doing her job.

“You can smell the fear.”
Great work, Gabbard!
She’s right, it was a YEARS LONG COUP against an acting president.
Obama at the helm with the rest of his evil pawns.
All need to be held accountable!
They also undermined the will of Americans and have done it for over 12 YEARS.
No wonder they tried to kill Trump twice!
They knew what would happen if Trump was elected……and God made sure Trump was elected.
I think the Trump administration is doing great work considering everything that’s been thrown at them DAILY.
