This week in the news, the director of national intelligence, Tulsi
Gabbard, made a discovery that she has documents, under her purview,
that are pertinent to the so-called Russian collusion hoax of 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.
Remember what that was? During the campaign between Hillary Clinton
and Donald Trump in 2015 and 2016, there were allegations that Donald
Trump was enlisting Russian President Vladimir Putin to disparage or
hurt Hillary Clinton for his benefit.
That charge was never substantiated. Special counsel Robert
Mueller—after Donald Trump was elected—spent 22 months and $40 million
and found no evidence that Donald Trump was directly involved in any
Russian escapade to throw the election.
But here’s the two new sources of discovery. The first is that,
apparently, the Dutch intelligence had tapped into Russian intelligence,
unknowingly to the Russians. And they were concerned that they were
being accused of colluding with Donald Trump by the Hillary Clinton
campaign. And yet, they had intelligence that Hillary Clinton had
actually hired—and we know now that that was true—through the paywalls
of the Democratic National Committee, the Perkins Coie law firm, the
Fusion GPS political operation, to give money to Christopher Steele for
this so-called Steele dossier that was proven to be fraudulent and the
source of this entire hoax.
So, here’s the point. That had been completely proven false, both by
the Mueller investigation—saw that no credible—but the intelligence
agencies, one of these 18 or all of them or some of them, knew from
information from the Dutch that there was no validity.
But here’s the second thing. Apparently, John Brennan and James
Clapper, maybe or not James Comey, the head of the FBI, also knew from
their own intelligence teams, when they were trying to act on this
information and prepare it for digestion by Barack Obama, the lame-duck president, who was on his way out, they said:
Wow. All of the people who are investigating this Russian collusion,
it’s pretty clear there was no Russian collusion. They may have wanted
to tamper in or troll or get on the, you know, websites, like the
Chinese have done. But there was no evidence, according to our
subordinates, our intelligence chiefs of these subdivisions, and Tulsi
Gabbard, remember, oversees some of these well beyond the FBI or the
CIA, there’s no evidence that our team can find any evidence.
Now, what’s Tulsi Gabbard
upset about? That was known to John Brennan. That was known to James
Clapper. That was probably known to the FBI. But they have notes, they
have information that when they prepared this digest daily, weekly
digest of intelligence updates to lame-duck Barack Obama in 2016 and
into 2017, he ignored it. He did not want to hear that. He wanted more
information pertaining to Donald Trump and the Russians colluding. It
was almost like, you find me the crime and I’ll give you the criminal.
And so, what did Brennan and Clapper allegedly do? They reversed the
opinion of their own intelligence subordinates. And they crafted or
fabricated after the election, remember that? After the November 2016
election. And then, according to the wishes of Barack Obama, they
created an intelligence falsehood, a false narrative, a fake narrative,
that Donald Trump, now the president-elect, soon to elect office, had
been colluding with the Russians.
And we know what happened after that. They destroyed the career of
Michael Flynn. We got these false charges that Trump was Putin’s asset
or puppet. Jeff Sessions foolishly, but tragically, appointed Robert
Mueller, who was an intimate of James Comey and many of the intelligence
chiefs. His team, the “All-Stars,” as they were called, they were
pretty partisan. Remember Andrew Weissmann and all that mess? That went
on for 22 months, $40 million. I think it’s fair to say it nearly
wrecked the first two years of the Trump administration. And I think
Tulsi Gabbard is making the allegation that was by design.
We couldn’t stop him with a Steele fake dossier. Hillary couldn’t
stop him. Nobody could stop him during the campaign. But Barack Obama,
allegedly, by Tulsi Gabbard’s conjectures, said, “We can stop his
presidency. So, you guys go back, ignore what your subordinates are
saying, when they found no evidence, and ignore foreign intelligence
that found no evidence. Just get me a narrative that Donald Trump is
colluding with the Russians and we’ll spread it.”
And spread it they did. And it nearly destroyed Donald Trump.
Is it serious? If it’s credible, then you have a conspiracy of the
top people in the United States intelligence and investigative
communities conspiring with a sitting president of the United States to
destroy the administration of his opponent, successor, Donald J. Trump.
