Claims of Obama Administration Conspiracy

Other matter, over the past few days, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi

Gabbard has unveiled shocking new evidence that former President Barack

Obama and top aides in the Obama administration

conspired to subvert President Trump's 2016

election victory and undermine the democratic will of the

American people. While publicly pretending to engage in a

peaceful transfer of power, in private, former President

Obama went to great and nefarious lengths to try to d- sow

discord among the public and sabotage his successor,

President Trump. The new evidence released by the Director

of National

Intelligence, who is here with me today, confirms that the Obama

administration manufactured politicized intelligence, which was

later used as a, the justification for baseless smears

against President Trump in an effort to try to delegitimize his

victory before he even took the oath of office.

The truth is that President Trump never had anything to do with

Russia, and the Russia collusion hoax was a massive fraud

perpetuated on the American people from the very beginning.

And the worst part of this is Obama knew that truth, and so did all

of the other corrupt officials involved in this scam, including former

CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence

James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey, former

Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and many others.

Director of National Intelligence Gabbard's report further confirms what we

already

knew. There was no collusion, no corruption, except on

the part of Barack Obama and the weaponized intelligence agencies

at

the time. The Russia hoax was a blatant lie, all ginned up

by Democrat political operatives that were signed off on by Pre- then

President Obama and leaked to the news media to launch a

years-long witch hunt against President Trump and his first

administration. Allies of the president, including his own son,

Donald Trump Jr., were disgustingly smeared as Russian

assets,

and some even had their lives destroyed because of this vicious lie.

The president's first two years in office had this fake distraction

hanging over it, and endless resources, time, and political capital

were spent having to debunk these lies from the highest levels of

our government. Now, t- nearly 10 years later, thanks to the

declassification of documents by Director Gabbard, the truth has finally

come to light, and this truth vindicates President Trump,

his family,

and his many allies and associates who

were smeared with defamatory

lies. President Trump was right from the beginning about all of

this, and we

are grateful that justice can be served.

Now, we have even more damning evidence

implicating those who tried to sabotage

a duly elected president and did grave material harm to our

republic. Thanks to additional important work done

by CIA Director

Ratcliffe, Committee Chairman Rick Crawford over the

past few months, a newly

declassified 2020 report prepared by the House Permanent Select

Committee on Intelligence, which DNI Director Gabbard has

declassified,

found that the intel community did not have any direct

information that Russian President Vladimir Putin want to help, wanted to

help elect President Trump in 2016.

And in fact, Russia was actively preparing for a Hillary

Clinton victory. But at the unusual direction of Barack

Obama at the time, the intel community published implausible

intelligence suggesting otherwise. Why?

To sabotage the incoming president.

This is truly one of the greatest political scandals in American history.

And reporters at legacy outlets, some of which are sitting in this room

today,

like The New York Times and The Washington Post,

were ridiculously awarded

Pulitzer Prizes for their perpetuation of this

hoax. It's well past time for those awards to be

stripped from the

journalists who received them. It is not journalism to propagate political

disinformation in service of the Democrat Party and those in the

intelligence community who hand over out-of-context and fake

intelligence to push a false political narrative.
