Tulsi Gabbard delivered a scathing rebuttal to Barack Obama’s recent denials about allegations surrounding the Russia collusion scandal. The Director of National Intelligence fired back after Obama’s team dismissed her claims as a “ridiculous distraction.” Gabbard insists newly declassified documents expose a plotted political attack to undermine Donald Trump’s presidency.
Gabbard says these records reveal how Obama-era officials began manufacturing the Russia election interference narrative weeks before Trump’s inauguration. While early intelligence found no credible evidence of Russian vote tampering, officials reversed course post-election, Gabbard claims, to frame Trump as Putin’s puppet.
The former Hawaii congresswoman accused Obama’s team of “treasonous conspiracy” and demanding accountability. “This isn’t partisan – it’s about defending our republic,” she declared during a surprise White House press briefing. She’s referred Obama-era officials to the Justice Department for potential prosecution.
Obama’s post-presidency office called Gabbard’s allegations “a weak attempt at distraction.” But Gabbard says the evidence speaks for itself: internal emails show requests to reframe intelligence assessments to align with anti-Trump narratives.
Conservatives praise Gabbard’s stance as Courageous truth-telling amid deep state betrayal. “Obama weaponized intelligence agencies to smear Trump’s family and allies – this is the real scandal,” Gabbard allies argue.
The documents allegedly show leaders like John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey signed off on the collusion hoax. Gabbard accuses them of lying to the American people and serving partisan interests over national security.
Trump supporters call this a defining moment in exposing deep state corruption. “They destroyed lives, wasted taxpayer resources, and disgraced our intelligence community – all to take down Trump,” one ally said.
Gabbard vows to keep pursuing justice: “We won’t let corrupt elites hide behind the glory of their former offices.” Her fight exposes how Washington elites’ political games threaten our democracy’s integrity.
