DNI Gabbard Says Russiagate Probe Can Take Down the Deep State

Aug. 9—The Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard met Aug. 5 with the Department of Justice regarding their investigation of the possible criminal actions of individuals such as former President Barack Obama, ex-CIA head John Brennan, ex-FBI head James Comey, and ex-DNI James Clapper. Interviewed on Fox News yesterday, Gabbard characterized the investigatory team as serious and committed, that they are diving into the documentation she has provided, and that, beyond that, there is more evidence.

When Fox's Laura Ingraham asked Aug. 6 about her claim that the evidence against Obama was “irrefutable,” Gabbard said to go look at the documents, as it’s all available for anyone to read. In a word, Obama called the National Security Council meeting, which tasked the intelligence community “per the President’s order” to create an intelligence assessment to document, not if, but how Russia interfered with the U.S. election. To reverse engineer that result, they turned to the Steele dossier, which they knew was both politically motivated and false.

Questioned about her strong charge of “treason,” she said, “Accountability.” She doesn’t know how else to characterize the situation when Obama, Brennan, and Comey all come together to create this lie, to delegitimize the duly elected President of the United States, because their favored candidate lost.

Gabbard also predicted her opponent’s next steps. With her first declassified release, they and the media kept their lips sealed, ignoring her. But she continued to release new documentation, so the opposition went into a new mode, chanting “Nothing new here.” And, now as that coverup comes apart, they will move to smear, attack, and attempt to destroy her.

The example of the Aug. 5 tweet by Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) was given, claiming that Gabbard is a threat to national security and should be fired. Gabbard calmly remarked that Warner a loyal player that does the Deep State's bidding, but the issue is what the Deep State is and who is involved. We need to root out all the Deep State bad actors. The integrity of our democratic republic requires it, she told the Fox host.
