Tulsi Gabbard Wants Barack Obama Prosecuted

_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has released declassified documents alleging that the Obama administration "manufactured and politicized intelligence" regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election.

This comes after the bombshell CIA review finding the 2016 intelligence assessment alleging Russian election interference had glaring procedural flaws.

Gabbard's report goes further by accusing top Obama officials of orchestrating a coordinated conspiracy. She has referred the documents to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for potential prosecutions.

_THE FACTS_

• The Obama administration’s fabricated intelligence laid the foundation for the yearslong Trump–Russia collusion investigation, which sought to undermine Trump after his 2016 victory.

• Tulsi Gabbard has referred all documents to the DOJ as a "criminal matter" for investigation and potential prosecution.

• FBI Director Kash Patel has already launched criminal investigations into former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey.

• House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) stated he has "no concern" about bringing Obama in for a congressional deposition or subpoena.

• Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, called Gabbard's threats "dangerous" with "absolutely" no legal basis.

• The House Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction here, is expected to play a central role in potential congressional investigations.

• President Trump claimed that Gabbard has "thousands of additional documents coming" that will further implicate Obama officials.

• An Obama spokesman issued a rare statement calling the allegations "ridiculous" and "a weak attempt at distraction."
