Claims of Obama Administration Conspiracy

Another 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 two thousand and sixteen

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 ten 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 twenty

twenty 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 two thousand and sixteen.

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.
