Russiagate Documents Expose Obama’s Coup

_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

Newly released documents, declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, show that the infamous 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that launched the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was based on flimsy, politicized, and in some cases entirely fabricated intelligence.

Worse, a prior internal assessment directly contradicted the ICA’s conclusions — but was buried.

_THE FACTS_

• A December 8, 2016, Presidential Daily Brief stated that Russian actors “did not impact recent US election results” — but it was never published.

• A new intelligence assessment was crafted the very next day at a meeting led by Susan Rice, with Brennan, Clapper, and Comey, reversing the original findings.

• The January 6, 2017, Intelligence Community Assessment claiming Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted Donald Trump to win was based on just four sources, including the discredited Steele Dossier.

• Another source was a “scant, unclear, and unverifiable fragment” of a sentence, initially excluded until Brennan ordered it in.

• A third was an anonymous, undated, unclassified email with no sender or recipient.

• CIA analysts handpicked by Brennan objected to the key evidence and told him, “We don’t have direct information that Putin wanted Trump” — but Brennan overruled them.

• More credible intelligence, including a Putin confidant saying he didn’t care who won, was suppressed because it contradicted the narrative.

• Russia’s foreign intelligence service reportedly had damaging material on Hillary Clinton, including DNC communications stating she suffered from “intensified psychoemotional problems,” violent mood swings, and was on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers.

• This intelligence, however, was not released publicly by the Russians.

• Before the ICA assessment was made, a majority of Democrats already believed that Russia manipulated votes to give Trump the win in 2016; that number later increased.

• By 2018, a supermajority of Americans were worried about the fake Russian election interference, with 72 percent calling themselves “alarmed” over the prospect.
