Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has sent shockwaves through Washington with her promise to release even more damning documents detailing what she describes as an organized, years-long coup effort orchestrated by former President Barack Obama’s administration against Donald Trump.
Gabbard’s revelations follow her bombshell declassification of records that, according to her, reveal overwhelming evidence that the roots of the Trump-Russia collusion investigation were politically motivated machinations designed to undermine Trump’s presidency before it even began.
As Gabbard prepares to unveil further files this week, the political landscape is bracing for another seismic jolt that could shake the very foundations of public trust in America’s intelligence agencies and federal leadership.
Speaking during an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, Gabbard emphasized the gravity of what her team uncovered. She vowed to shed additional light on the mechanisms through which top officials within the Obama administration concealed critical information from both the public and lawmakers who might have had the authority to intervene.
“We will be releasing more detailed information about how exactly this took place, and the extent to which this information was sought to be hidden from the American people, hidden from officials who would be in a position to do something about it,” Gabbard stated.
The former Democratic congresswoman turned intelligence chief did not mince words when she described the stakes involved. “Accountability is essential for the future of our country, for the American people to have any sense of trust in the integrity of our democratic republic.
Accountability, action, prosecution, and indictments for those who are responsible for trying to steal our democracy is essential for us to make sure that this never happens to our country again,” she declared.
Gabbard expressed incredulity that Special Counsels Robert Mueller and John Durham seemingly overlooked key evidence that, according to her findings, unmistakably pointed to a concerted effort to orchestrate a coup against Trump.
“I really cannot fathom how Robert Mueller and John Durham missed this,” she said, her frustration palpable. “There is no rational or logical explanation for why they failed,” Gabbard continued, before offering her own conclusion: “The only logical conclusion that I can draw in this … is that there was direct intent to cover up the truth about what occurred and who was responsible and the broad network of how this seditious conspiracy was concocted and who exactly was responsible for carrying it out.”
Among the most notable disclosures Gabbard’s team has already made is a previously classified intelligence community assessment dated September 12, 2016. This assessment starkly contradicts the dominant narrative that Russian cyber operations posed a credible threat to U.S. election infrastructure.
The assessment concludes that “foreign adversaries do not have and will probably not obtain the capabilities to successfully execute widespread and undetected cyber attacks” on American election systems.
This conclusion flies in the face of claims that Russia successfully penetrated the electoral process to swing the 2016 election in Trump’s favor. The memo also stated definitively that “Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure.”
While acknowledging attempts to breach systems, such as a failed effort to access Illinois voter rolls, the document clarified that these attacks neither compromised the infrastructure responsible for counting votes nor came close to altering electoral outcomes.
“The targeting of infrastructure not used in casting ballots makes it highly unlikely it would have resulted in altering any state’s official vote,” the memo read. The document went further, noting that “criminal activity also failed to reach the scale and sophistication necessary to change election outcomes.”
These statements, coming from within the highest levels of U.S. intelligence, directly refute the premise upon which the entire Trump-Russia collusion investigation was based.
They suggest that key players in the Obama administration pursued the investigation despite possessing information that debunked the central justification for the probe.
This revelation is a major vindication for Trump, who has long claimed that the Russia investigation was a politically motivated witch hunt designed to cripple his presidency.
Trump and his allies have insisted that the so-called “deep state,” comprising entrenched bureaucrats, intelligence officials, and political operatives, collaborated to create a false narrative that Trump was compromised by Russia. Now, with Gabbard’s declassifications, those assertions have gained significant credibility.
Pressure is mounting on individuals who played pivotal roles in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, the codename for the FBI’s probe into Trump’s campaign ties to Russia.
The investigation is now under renewed scrutiny, with FBI officials reportedly preparing for potential criminal inquiries into former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and other high-ranking officials implicated in the scandal.
According to current CIA Director John Ratcliffe, career intelligence professionals have come forward to accuse Brennan of intentionally withholding parts of the investigation from other agencies while aggressively pushing the inclusion of the infamous and discredited Steele dossier in the intelligence community’s final assessment.
The Steele dossier, compiled by ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, was riddled with inaccuracies and has been thoroughly debunked as a politically motivated piece of opposition research funded by the Clinton campaign.
Brennan’s actions may have been even more egregious. There are ongoing discussions within the Justice Department about whether Brennan committed perjury when he testified before Congress and denied the Steele dossier’s role in shaping intelligence assessments.
Although the statute of limitations for perjury might have expired, legal experts argue that Brennan could still face charges related to conspiracy to commit perjury or other offenses if it is proven that he deliberately coordinated efforts to mislead lawmakers.
Meanwhile, a 200-page congressional audit has been quietly compiled following a secret meeting between Department of Justice officials and intelligence leaders last weekend.
This audit reportedly details the abuses and procedural failings within the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. Lawmakers are now debating whether to declassify even more sensitive materials, including extensive notes and transcripts from John Durham’s special counsel investigation, which concluded in 2023 with the finding that the Trump-Russia connection was fundamentally baseless.
Gabbard’s disclosures mark just the beginning of a broader transparency initiative aimed at uncovering the full scope of misconduct by officials who allegedly used their positions to wage a clandestine war against a duly elected president.
By committing to further releases, Gabbard has positioned herself as a key figure in what could be a historical reckoning for America’s intelligence and political establishment.
The significance of these revelations extends beyond partisan politics. They strike at the core of democratic accountability and the integrity of America’s intelligence institutions.
If indeed elements within the government sought to orchestrate a coup against a sitting president under the guise of national security concerns, the implications are staggering. Such actions would represent not just a violation of public trust but an existential threat to the republic itself.
As Gabbard prepares to unveil more documents, anticipation is growing among both the public and lawmakers eager to see the full extent of the alleged conspiracy.
The forthcoming disclosures are expected to provide additional clarity on the roles played by specific individuals, the mechanisms of information suppression, and the networks that facilitated this covert operation against Trump. Gabbard’s bold stance on transparency is resonating with a public increasingly skeptical of the federal government’s honesty and impartiality.
The political repercussions of these revelations are already rippling across Washington. Calls for accountability are intensifying, with some lawmakers demanding immediate investigations, resignations, and prosecutions of those involved.
The unfolding scandal could redefine the political landscape, influencing upcoming elections and reshaping public perceptions of both the intelligence community and political leadership from the Obama era.
For Trump, these disclosures serve as powerful validation of his long-held grievances against the Washington establishment. The former president has repeatedly insisted that his administration was besieged from the outset by conspiracies designed to delegitimize his victory and sabotage his agenda.
With Gabbard’s evidence now emerging, Trump’s claims gain new weight, potentially bolstering his political standing as he navigates his own legal battles and contemplates future electoral prospects.
Gabbard’s courage in bringing these issues to light also positions her as a formidable voice for government transparency and reform. Once a Democratic presidential candidate herself, Gabbard has consistently challenged entrenched power structures within her party and the broader political system.
Her latest actions confirm her commitment to exposing corruption and safeguarding the democratic process from manipulation by unelected elites.
As the nation awaits the next wave of disclosures, the question remains whether justice will be served or whether these revelations will be absorbed into the endless churn of political controversy without meaningful consequences.
What is clear, however, is that the veil of secrecy surrounding one of the most contentious political narratives in modern American history is beginning to lift, promising to reshape the public’s understanding of the Trump-Russia saga and the forces that sought to control it.
