Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released further evidence Wednesday morning, which she claims shows the Obama administration's direct involvement in the 2016 post-presidential election Russia hoax.
Gabbard, describing the plot as the "most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history," posted a series of lies which have, in her view, been debunked by declassifying a 2020 House Intelligence Committee report.
The report was an assessment of how the Obama administration manufactured a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, which portrayed Russia as having influenced the 2016 election in favor of Donald Trump.
That assessment was "false," Gabbard writes, noting that the Obama administration "conspired to subvert the will of the American people," and, working in conjunction with a willfully ignorant media, staged "a years-long coup against" Trump.

EXPOSING RUSSIAGATE: Hoo Boy - Gabbard Says She Will Release Info That Refutes Obama's Russia Hoax Defense
Obama Finally Responds to Russiagate Accusations With Lame Statement, Calls Them 'Bizarre’
Former President Barack Obama had meekly responded to Gabbard's initial bombshell revelations of the Russiagate coup by suggesting she had manufactured the evidence.
"These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction," a statement from an Obama spokesman said.

The allegations as of this morning appear to have been strengthened. Gabbard followed through on her promise to release evidence to "refute" the Obama defense.
The newly declassified House Intelligence Committee report appears to show the intelligence community had little in the way of direct evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton, but published it anyway. Why? Because Obama ordered them to do so.
"Acting on President Obama's orders, [then CIA Director John] Brennan directed a 'full review' and publication of raw HUMINT (Human Intelligence) information that had been collected before the election," an Appendix timeline reads.
"CIA officers said that some of this information had been held on the orders of [the CIA Director], while other reporting had been judged by experienced CIA officers to have not met longstanding publication standards," the note continues.
"Some of the latter was unclear or from unknown subsources, but would nonetheless be published after the election - over the objections of veteran officers - on orders of [Brennan] ... to support claims that aspired to help Trump win."
Brennan did Obama's bidding.
I don’t think people realize just how much danger Tulsi Gabbard is putting herself in by exposing the deep state at this level.

ESPECIALLY someone like Barack Obama.
This is what a TRUE patriot looks like.
God bless you, @TulsiGabbard 🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/sB4XEtcvLL
Another section of the House Intelligence Committee assessment — Finding #3 — shows CIA officers did not want to publish intelligence with "significant flaws" revolving around the narrative that Putin viewed Trump as his preferred candidate. The evidence, they determined, was mainly "unremarkable," while others contained "flawed information."
Those unremarkable and flawed points became "foundational sources" used to propagate the Russia hoax.
🚨 BREAKING: DNI Tulsi Gabbard just released reports PROVING that Obama DIRECTLY gave the order to publish the Russia Collusion Hoax, knowing there was no proof that Putin backed Trump

Holy CRAP.
Tulsi just proved Obama lied AGAIN in his statement yesterday.
Obama should be… pic.twitter.com/vLF5c8fde0
The latest release, along with other declassified documents, "confirm what many Americans have known," Gabbard stated.
"The Russia Hoax was a lie that was knowingly created by the Obama Administration to undermine the legitimacy and power of the duly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump."
President Trump, in no uncertain terms, has declared Obama's actions in driving the Russia hoax "treason."
"If you look at that, those papers, they have him stone cold. And it was President Obama," Trump told reporters.
"Look, he's guilty. It's not a question. I like to say, let's give it time, but it's there; he's guilty. They ... this was treason, this was every word you can think of."
