    Sweet!

    Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard dropped a major bombshell Friday afternoon with a document dump regarding the Russia Collusion hoax.
    In a detailed X thread, Gabbard laid out the findings of an investigation
    into Obama officials' involvement in devising and perpetuating the Russia collusion narrative, thereby hamstringing President Donald Trump's first presidency.

    The document release follows a CIA assessment in early July that former
    CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and former DNI James Clapper took "unusual" direct roles in shaping the now-infamous Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that was released during the presidential transition following the 2016 election.

    New: CIA Assessment Reveals How Far Obama Administration Went to Frame
    Trump, Implicates Officials

    Gabbard followed up her initial thread with the announcement that her
    office was turning over all of the documents to the Department of Justice
    for a criminal referral.


    Their goal was to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the
    American people.

    No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The
    integrity of our democratic republic depends on it.

    We are turning over all documents to the DOJ for criminal referral.

    Gabbard's post links to an ODNI press release, titled "New Evidence of
    Obama Administration Conspiracy to Subvert President Trump’s 2016 Victory
    and Presidency," which reads:

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Friday, Director of National Intelligence (DNI)
    Tulsi Gabbard revealed overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how, after President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President
    Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and
    politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.

    In the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the Intelligence Community (IC) consistently assessed that Russia is “probably not trying …
    to influence the election by using cyber means.”

    On December 7, 2016, after the election, talking points were prepared for
    DNI James Clapper stating, “Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks
    on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome.”

    On December 9, 2016, President Obama’s White House gathered top National Security Council Principals for a meeting that included James Clapper,
    John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe and
    others, to discuss Russia.

    After the meeting, DNI Clapper’s Executive Assistant sent an email to IC leaders tasking them with creating a new IC assessment “per the
    President’s request” that details the “tools Moscow used and actions it
    took to influence the 2016 election.” It went on to say, “ODNI will lead
    this effort with participation from CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS.”

    Obama officials leaked false statements to media outlets, including The Washington Post, claiming, “Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election.”

    On January 6, 2017, a new Intelligence Community Assessment was released
    that directly contradicted the IC assessments that were made throughout
    the previous six months.

    After months of investigation into this matter, the facts reveal this new assessment was based on information that was known by those involved to be manufactured i.e. the Steele Dossier or deemed as not credible. This was politicized intelligence that was used as the basis for countless smears seeking to delegitimize President Trump’s victory, the years-long Mueller investigation, two Congressional impeachments, high level officials being investigated, arrested, and thrown in jail, heightened US-Russia tensions,
    and more.

    The release includes a statement from Gabbard:

    The issue I am raising is not a partisan issue. It is one that concerns
    every American. The information we are releasing today clearly shows there
    was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest
    level of our government. Their goal was to subvert the will of the
    American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate
    bestowed upon him by the American people. Their egregious abuse of power
    and blatant rejection of our Constitution threatens the very foundation
    and integrity of our democratic republic. No matter how powerful, every
    person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to
    the fullest extent of the law, to ensure nothing like this ever happens
    again. The American people’s faith and trust in our democratic republic
    and therefore the future of our nation depends on it. As such, I am
    providing all documents to the Department of Justice to deliver the accountability that President Trump, his family, and the American people deserve.

    Following the early July announcement from CIA Director John Ratcliffe, it
    was reported that Comey and Brennan were under criminal investigation for
    their roles in shaping the 2017 ICA. Now, it appears they may have
    company.

    I'll close with a simple observation: We haven't heard a whole lot
    about/from former President Obama's national security team in recent
    years. There was a bit of eyebrow-raising when they had their security clearances yanked earlier this year. Then, in May, we got that odd little escapade involving Comey and the "8647" shells on the beach. Then came the
    CIA assessment in early July. And then suddenly, the Wall Street Journal
    has its "scoop" about a "bawdy" birthday card purportedly sent by Trump to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003, just before the ODNI document dump and criminal referral. One almost gets the sense that the game is afoot.
