Gabbard alleges these individuals "abused the public trust" by politicizing intelligence, manipulating information, and leaking classified data, specifically in connection with the "Russia Gate" narrative following the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. The central accusation is that high-ranking intelligence officials, under the direction of President Obama, manufactured an intelligence assessment to undermine the legitimacy of the Trump presidency, based on "shoddy intelligence" and the "Steele dossier" which they allegedly knew was a "political manufactured document." This action, according to Gabbard, constituted a "seditious conspiracy" that "undermined the integrity of our democratic republic."Key Themes and Most Important Ideas/Facts:Revocation of Security Clearances and Justification:DNI Tulsi Gabbard announced the stripping of security clearances from 37 intelligence officials.The stated reasons for revocation include: "abused the public trust," "politicizing manipulating intelligence," "leaking classified intelligence without authorization," and/or "committing intentional egregious violations of trade craft standards."Gabbard asserts this action was taken "under the direction of President Trump."Allegations of a Manufactured "Russia Gate" Narrative:Initial Assessment (Pre-November 2016): Gabbard claims that the intelligence community assessed before the 2016 election that Russia was attempting to "interfere in our election by sewing discord and chaos," but "did not appear to have any preference for one candidate over the other."Obama-Directed Shift (Post-Election): A significant "shift" is alleged to have occurred after the election. "President Obama called a meeting of his national security council leadership" in early December, resulting in a directive to then-DNI James Clapper and then-CIA Director John Brennan to create a new intelligence community assessment.Contradictory and Biased New Assessment: This "new one said that Russia Putin did try to interfere in the election because he wanted Trump to win."Use of "Shoddy Intelligence" and Steele Dossier: Gabbard asserts this new assessment used "shoddy intelligence" and "little pieces of of intelligence gathered from places that intelligence professionals refused to reference previously." Crucially, she claims that "John Brennan knew James Clapper knew others within the intelligence community knew that the steel dossier was a political manufactured document intended to be weaponized against then candidate Donald Trump." Despite this alleged knowledge, they "then used this steel dossier as a source for this Obama directed new intelligence assessment."Motive and Intent of Intelligence Officials:Gabbard explicitly states that these intelligence leaders "were not happy with the outcome of that election" (Trump's victory).Their alleged intent was to "undermine the voices and votes of the American people who elected Donald Trump."The "politicized weaponized piece of fake intelligence" t...Hosted by Ausha.
