To me, the strangest part of the recent release of documents confirming
the involvement of former President Barack Obama and his national
security team in essentially cooking up an Intelligence Community
Assessment (ICA) that served as the foundation for years of
investigations and false accusations against President Donald Trump is
how numb so many are to the significance of it. As our Bob Hoge rightly
notes:
We’ve been reading about it for years, listened to countless segments on cable news and talk radio, and yet in a way, some people have almost
become inured to it. Nothing will ever happen, they say. No one will
ever be held to account.

It does rather feel like that. And yet, perhaps the time has come, and
we are about to see some accountability after all. Perhaps. According to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, this isn't just about
newly disclosed documents. There are now Intelligence Community
whistleblowers coming forward, too.
Gabbard has been making the rounds on the cable news shows since the
document disclosure on Friday. She spoke with Sean Hannity on his show
Friday evening, and again on "Fox and Friends" Saturday. On Sunday,
Gabbard joined "Sunday Morning Futures" host Maria Bartiromo to discuss
the disclosure and what we can expect going forward.
The full episode may be viewed here, but here are some highlights,
beginning with Gabbard reiterating the big picture implications of what occurred:
"The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic. Over
100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide
evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President
Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office, after President
Trump had already gotten elected. This is not a Democrat or Republican
issue. This is an issue that is so serious it should concern every
single American because it has to do with the integrity of our
democratic republic.
"What we saw occur here, as the documents we released detailed, was that
we had a sitting president of the United States and his cabinet and
leadership team, quite frankly, who were not happy with the fact that
President Trump had won the election, that the American people had
chosen Donald J. Trump to be the next president and commander in chief
of the United States.
"And so they decided that they would do everything possible to try to
undermine his ability to do what voters tasked President Trump to do.
So, creating this piece of manufactured intelligence that claims Russia
had helped Donald Trump get elected contradicted every other assessment
that had been made previously in the months leading up to the election
that said exactly the opposite, that Russia neither had neither the
intent nor the capability to try to 'hack' the United States election
for the presidency of the United States.
"So, the effect of what President Obama and his senior national security
team did was subvert the will of the American people, undermining our democratic republic, and enacting what would be, essentially, a
years-long coup against President Trump, who was duly elected by the
American people."

The conversation turned to the issue of accountability, which is the
crux of the matter: Will anything come of this? Will those who
perpetrated it be held to account?
"There's no question in my mind that this Intelligence Community
Assessment that President Obama ordered be published, which contained a manufactured intelligence document — it's worse than even politicization
of intelligence — it was manufactured intelligence that sought to
achieve President Obama's and his team's objective, which was
undermining President Trump's presidency and subverting the will of the American people.
"So, yes, next week we will be releasing more detailed information about
how exactly this took place and the extent to which this information was
sought to be hidden from the American people, hidden from officials who
would be in a position to do something about it. And that's really the
point here that I think is most important, Maria, and you said it in
your opening: Accountability is essential for the future of our country,
for the American people to have any sense of trust in the integrity of
our democratic republic — accountability, action, prosecution,
indictments for those who are responsible for trying to steal our
democracy — is essential for us to make sure that this never happens to
our country again."
Bartiromo followed that up by asking Gabbard if she was referring this
as a criminal matter and whether we will "ever see anyone held
accountable for this incredible lie on the American people."
Gabbard responded, noting that there are whistleblowers now "coming out
of the woodwork."
"I will do all that I can, and we have whistleblowers, actually, Maria,
coming forward now, after we released these documents, because there are
people who were around, who were working within the Intelligence
Community at this time, who were so disgusted by what happened. We are
starting to see some of them coming out of the woodwork here, because
they, too, like you and I and the American people, want to see justice delivered.
"So we're going to provide everything that we have, everything that we
will continue to gather, to the Department of Justice for that direct
intent and that direct purpose. There must be indictments. Those
responsible, no matter how powerful they are and were at that time, no
matter who was involved in creating this treasonous conspiracy against
the American people, they all must be held accountable."
It's understandable that, after all this time and all that has
transpired over the past decade, those hoping for the truth to come out
and justice to be served have grown weary and somewhat jaded. But based
on Gabbard's comments here, it sounds as though there's cause to hope
that there will be accountability after all.
