Tulsi Gabbard Suggests That Obama Admin Hid Info Disproving Russia Hoax From Trump

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard told the Daily Caller that “one could assume” the Obama administration chose not to publish a December 2016 Presidential Daily Briefing (PBD) — which included information demonstrating that Russia did not steal the election — to keep then-President-elect Donald Trump from seeing it.

Gabbard released documents Friday which showed what she deemed “overwhelming evidence” revealing former President Barack Obama and his national security team “manufactured and politicized intelligence” after Trump’s 2016 victory.

The documents suggest that Obama’s administration withheld a Dec. 7, 2016, PBD draft, which included intelligence stating that “foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the U.S. Presidential election outcome” during the 2016 election. The briefing draft was “killed” due to “new guidance,” according to the ODNI’s report.

Gabbard told the Caller that while she didn’t have documents that stated what the “new guidance” was, she said it seemed likely the information was withheld from Trump.

“I don’t have any documents that speak to exactly what the ‘new guidance’ was that was given as the reason for pulling that document — which, by the way, still has never been published until we released it last week, Friday,” Gabbard said.

“One could assume that they didn’t want President Trump to see a document that came from the intelligence community that would contradict the Russia hoax narrative that began with the Hillary Clinton campaign with the Steele dossier,” she continued.

Trump got his first PDB on Nov. 15, 2016, CNN reported.

Gabbard submitted the information for a “criminal referral” to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Gabbard stated at the press conference. Trump said Obama was “guilty” during a press conference in the Oval Office on Tuesday.

When asked if the White House is of the belief that the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity might extend to Obama and protect him from prosecution, Leavitt told the Caller that Trump wants “all those who perpetuated this fraud against our country” to be “held accountable.”

“Everybody just ran with the lies and it led to impeachments, it led to the division of our country, unfortunately so many Americans from listening to outlets in this room believed in these lies and it’s a complete scam and it’s a scandal and the president wants to see accountability for that,” Leavitt said.

Tulsi Gabbard Reveals Plans To ‘End Politicization’ Of Intel Agencies On Day One In Office

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

President Donald Trump’s Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard, will prioritize ending politicization of the Intelligence Community (IC) and restoring transparency, according to a list of priorities obtained by the Daily Caller.

The Senate confirmed Gabbard as DNI on Wednesday. Her day one priorities highlight politicization and the need for unbiased intelligence collection.

“End politicization of the IC and ensure clear mission focus to the IC on its core mission of unbiased, apolitical collection and analysis of intelligence to secure our nation” the document reads.

She assailed weaponization of the intelligence community during her confirmation hearing’s opening statement, citing Trump’s reelection as a “clear mandate” to end weaponization of the intelligence agencies.

She specifically pointed to the 51 former national security officials who signed a letter implying the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story was a “Russian information operation.” That was proven false and Trump recently revoked the officials’ security clearances.

Gabbard will also work to restore trust “through transparency and accountability,” the document said, calling the priority a “national security imperative.”

Two Republican senators who were initially hesitant to support Gabbard, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Maine Sen. Susan Collins, cited the ODNI’s bloated size in their endorsements of Gabbard.

Collins said in a statement that the ODNI is too expansive and that Gabbard shares her “vision of returning the agency to its intended size.”

Gabbard will also work to “address efficiency, redundancy, and effectiveness across ODNI to ensure focus of personnel and resources is focused on our core mission of national security” on day one.

Gabbard will also prioritize assessing threats and identifying gaps in intelligence.

“Assess the global threat environment and where gaps in our intelligence exist, integrate intelligence elements, increase information-sharing, and ensure unbiased, apolitical, objective collection and analysis to support the President and policymakers’ decision-making,” the document reads.

She also plans to collaborate with Congress, specifically the Senate Intelligence Committee, on these issues. Senators expressed frustration about intelligence failures during her meetings, citing a “lack of responsiveness” to information requests, according to the document. There have been several major intelligence blunders under past DNIs, including the Afghanistan withdrawal and terrorists taking over Syria after the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

The document also referenced “failures to identify” the origins of COVID-19. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) said in January that it now believes the virus came from a lab in China, according to The New York Times. The agency reached this determination with “low confidence.” This typically indicates that the agency making the determination lacked sufficient credible information or had concerns or issues regarding their sources, according to the DNI’s website.

“Lt. Col. Gabbard looks forward to working with Senators and the Intelligence Committee directly on those issues,” the document concludes.
