Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard isn’t backing down; in fact, she’s ramping up the pressure on Barack Obama and his former intelligence circle after he claimed in a statement Monday that her findings were “bizarre.”
As we’ve reported, the DNI declassified documents that she says prove that the former president, former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey and others hatched a plan to take down President Trump in 2016 with fake claims of Russia “collusion.” She submitted a criminal referral to the DOJ Monday.
On Tuesday, she spoke at the White House press briefing, and she directly pointed the finger at Obama and revealed that he was named in the referral:

The above tweet continues:
There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact," @TulsiGabbard says
Asked if she believed Obama was implicated in criminal behavior, she pointed out that she had indeed made a criminal referral:
GABBARD: We have referred and will continue to refer all of these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI, to investigate the criminal implications of this.
REPORTER [muffled, but sounds like]: Even former President Obama?
GABBARD: Correct.
The facts lead right to him, she charged:
GABBARD: The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment. There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact.
Next, a reporter questioned whether she thought the former president was guilty of treason. She wouldn’t come right out and say yes, but hoo boy did she come close:
GABBARD: I'm leaving the criminal charges to the Department of Justice. I am not an attorney, but as I have said previously, when you look at the intent behind creating a fake manufactured intelligence document that directly contradicts multiple assessments that were created by the intelligence community, the expressed intent and what followed afterward can only be described as a years long coup and the treasonous conspiracy against the American people our Republic, and an attempt to undermine President Trump's administration.
Here she lays out the details of how the plot went down—definitely worth a watch:
