Declassified Evidence of Obama Administration Conspiracy to Subvert President Trump’s 2016 Victory and Presidency

Breaking…
Newly declassified records from @DNIGabbard are additional, compelling evidence that the 2016 Russia Collusion narrative was not rooted in credible intelligence reporting, but manufactured to fit a preferred political narrative.

Gabbard has taken the rare and transparent step of declassifying a December 2016 draft of the President’s Daily Brief or PDB.

This highly classified record, which is a daily national security analysis for the President, assessed that “Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against (election) infrastructure.”

But after push back from the FBI, then led by James Comey, the PDB was spiked “based on new guidance.”

After a White House Principals meeting, a new intelligence assessment was commissioned, and media leaks followed, reinforcing a new narrative that “Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win the presidency, rather than undermine confidence in the U.S. electoral system.”

TIMELINE
December 8, 2016
Draft PDB - Russia “did not impact US election results”

Hours later, FBI withdraws support.

PDB is killed “based on new guidance”

December 9, 2016 Obama White House Gathers Top Cabinet Officials including Clapper, Brennan, Susan Rice, Andrew McCabe and others.

New Intelligence Assessment is commissioned

January 6, 2017 New Intel Assessment : Russia interfered to help Trump

SPIKED - KEY DOCUMENT
Declassified and released via @DNIGabbard

Whistleblower is SPIKED after calling out Intelligence Community leadership for creating a new assessment about Russian election interference in December 2016 that was “contradicted” by multiple, existing reports.

Fast forward three years.

September 2019 Whistleblower was “shocked” the Steele Dossier was part of the January 2019 intelligence report because it was seen as “untrustworthy.”

CONTEXT: Late 2016 is a critical period for the FBI under
@Comey who used the Steele Dossier to justify the FISA surveillance warrants for Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

It would have gutted the 2016 FBI investigation if the intelligence community had reported, at that time, there was no evidence that Russian interference changed the outcome.

#6  Makes Watergate Look Like Amateur Hour

I've been saying for years that these people make Richard Nixon look like a Boy Scout. Sorry, in spite of all the man's flaws, I still think Nixon was a far better president than any Democrat ever was and better than some of the recent RINOs too.

#4  X - General Mike Flynn "This is surreal. Here in America, the Director of National Intelligence @DNIGabbard is now stating emphatically that a former President of the United States Barack Obama attempted a coup against the
POTUS"


He'll go away quietly and enjoy retirement? No, I didn't think so either.
