Declassified Document Deals Blow to DNI Director’s Claims of Anti-Trump Conspiracy

Tulsi Gabbard Has been Fabricating Claims

Blue Press Journal – A newly declassified document has undermined claims made by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that the Obama administration conspired against Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. The document, an annex to a report by special counsel John Durham, further debunks the theory that Russian spies were not behind the key 2016 emails that were hacked and released during the campaign.

Gabbard had hoped to uncover evidence of a “treasonous conspiracy” by the Obama administration to falsely blame Russia for interfering in the election to help Trump. However, the declassified document, combined with previous findings by special counsel Robert Mueller and the Senate intelligence committee, suggests that Russian interference was, in fact, a reality.

The 2019 report by Mueller and a bipartisan report by the Senate intelligence committee in 2020 both concluded with “high confidence” that Russia had interfered in the election to help Trump. These findings were further validated by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who in 2018 admitted to wanting Trump to win the election.

Former intelligence insiders have dismissed the idea of a “deep state” conspiracy against Trump as a fiction. “Trump is lying when he speaks of a ‘deep state’,” said Fulton Armstrong, a retired CIA analyst. “But if there were one, it would not be Democrat. The culture of that world is deeply Republican.”

Gabbard’s claims were also contradicted by John Brennan, the CIA director under Obama, who told The New Yorker that Obama had instructed intelligence officials to keep evidence of Russian meddling quiet until after the election to ensure a fair outcome. Brennan cited multiple sources of intelligence, including a high-quality clandestine source, that indicated Putin wanted Trump to win due to his views on Russia.

The declassified document is the latest blow to Gabbard’s crusade to prove a conspiracy against Trump. The disclosures by Durham further undermine her claims, and it remains to be seen how she will respond to the new evidence. The incident highlights the ongoing controversy surrounding the 2016 election and the role of Russian interference, with many experts continuing to affirm that the intelligence community’s assessment of Russian meddling was accurate.
