Revelations on Russiagate and Its Origins

The Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, expressed confusion over why key investigations led by Robert Mueller and John Durham failed to highlight critical evidence that she claims pointed to a “years-long coup” against President Trump.

Last week, Gabbard’s team released over 100 pages of memos and emails indicating that the Obama administration concluded in 2016 that Russia did not manipulate the election results through cyberattacks. She argues these documents imply a “treasonous conspiracy” by Obama officials to push false intelligence about Russian interference helping Trump win, calling for former officials’ prosecution.

Gabbard questioned why Durham and Mueller did not emphasize this evidence, suggesting a possible attempt to cover up the truth about who was involved in the alleged conspiracy.

Among key findings was a 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment stating that foreign adversaries did not have the ability to conduct widespread undetected cyberattacks on election systems. Despite accusations against Russia for hacking Democratic emails and creating troll farms, reports indicate they did not leak Republican information.

Special counsel Mueller’s investigation concluded there was insufficient evidence to prove Trump’s campaign conspired with Russia, despite widespread allegations and a lengthy inquiry.

Gabbard criticized the investigation process, expressing doubt that previous investigators, including Durham and Mueller, pieced together the full picture. She emphasized the importance of accountability, stating that officials involved in the alleged conspiracy should face charges regardless of their influence or power.

Gabbard hinted that more disclosures are forthcoming, with whistleblowers stepping forward driven by disgust over what transpired. She condemned Obama’s actions as undermining democratic integrity, framing it as an attempted long-term coup against Trump.

Though she has had a history of skepticism towards the intelligence community, Gabbard maintains her commitment to transparency and accountability, advocating for justice against those she believes engaged in treasonous activities.
