Lies and mendacity folks comprise the sorry epitaph of Barack Obama’s presidency.
The Large Lie was that then-candidate Donald Trump colluded with Russia to rig the 2016 presidential election. It derived from a phony file commissioned and financed by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that Obama’s nationwide safety workforce fortunately peddled to destroy his successor.
It begat a fair greater whopper that “Putin and the Russian Authorities developed a transparent choice for President-elect Trump” and “aspired to assist” his election possibilities. This infamous deceit was inserted within the official Intelligence Group Evaluation (ICA) that was ordered by Obama himself and conjured up by his CIA Director John Brennan.
DNI GABBARD CLAIMS ‘DEEP STATE ACTORS’ DIDN’T WANT TRUMP-RUSSIA INFORMATION TO ‘SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY’
None of it was true.
Director of Nationwide Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused former President Barack Obama of being a part of a “treasonous conspiracy” and moved for an extra investigation.

The bogus file was exploited to justify the ICA. Conversely, the ICA was used to legitimize the file. The round fake verification was a intelligent ruse. And it labored splendidly. When each paperwork have been leaked to the gullible Trump-hating media, journalists adopted them with out query as sacred gospel from the Holy Ebook of Obama. The Russia hoax took off like a rocket.
It crash-landed on Wednesday, July 23, when Tulsi Gabbard, the director of Nationwide Intelligence, accused Obama, Brennan and others of engineering the false intelligence. “They knew it might promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered within the 2016 election to assist President Trump win, promoting it to the American folks as if it have been true. It wasn’t,” she added.
NEW RUSSIAGATE EVIDENCE ‘DIRECTLY POINT TO’ OBAMA, DOJ WILL DECIDE ‘CRIMINAL IMPLICATIONS’: GABBARD
Newly declassified paperwork present {that a} December 8, 2016, draft of Obama’s Presidential Each day Briefing (PDB) debunked the notion of Russian electoral meddling to assist Trump. However wait … that was problematic as a result of it didn’t conform to the popular narrative of Trump-Russia collusion. So, FBI Director James Comey and his cohorts reportedly scuttled it. That method, Trump, as president-elect, couldn’t be briefed on its contents.
The following day Obama convened a extremely confidential assembly on the White Home. The president ordered his intelligence cronies to expedite a brand new ICA that might reverse the PDB’s conclusion and energize the collusion fiction. Along with his marching orders in hand, Brennan instantly went to work on it.
His problem was devising a method to contort the recognized proof and contradict the consensus of practically everybody else within the intelligence group. No downside. CIA specialists on Russia who strenuously objected have been sidelined and silenced. Brennan ignored their warning that there was no direct proof that Russian President Vladimir Putin needed to elect Trump.
Different intel companies that usually contribute to the evaluation have been intentionally excluded to stifle dissent. Proof exhibits that Brennan then chosen a handful of sycophants — with just one principal drafter — to craft the complete ICA that bore little resemblance to the reality and established details.
BRENNAN DIRECTED PUBLICATION OF ‘IMPLAUSIBLE’ REPORTS CLAIMING PUTIN PREFERRED TRUMP IN 2016, HOUSE FOUND
On January 6, 2017, the rushed-to-completion ICA was produced. It provided a outstanding transformation from the sooner PDB: “Putin and the Russian Authorities aspired to assist President-Elect Trump’s election possibilities when attainable by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him.” (Web page 7 of ICA)
The pinnacle-spinning about-face of intel conclusions was an immaculate conception of corrupt handicraft that belongs within the Intelligence Corridor of Disgrace.

Though Brennan denied it, quite a few delusions drawn from the faux file have been positioned within the formal intelligence evaluation to offer it the sustenance that it in any other case lacked. Armed with each fallacious paperwork, Comey then met with Trump later that day in a devious however misbegotten scheme to entrap him. It failed miserably as a result of the newly elected president had no thought what the FBI director was speaking about.
Obama’s soiled fingerprints have been all around the cooked-up intelligence claiming that Moscow helped Trump in some grand collusion conspiracy. On Wednesday, Gabbard held a information convention to elevate the veil of secrecy and malevolence. She leveled the next broadside:
OBAMA NOW ‘SQUARELY IN RUSSIAGATE CROSSHAIRS,’ JOURNALIST MATT TAIBBI CLAIMS
“President Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey and others, together with their mouthpieces within the media, knowingly lied as they repeated the contrived narrative that was created on this January 2017 intelligence group evaluation with excessive confidence, as if it have been truth.”
Mincing no phrases, Gabbard accused Brennan of mendacity about his use of the file though he knew it was a discredited and politically manufactured doc. “He directed senior CIA officers to make use of it anyway,” she stated.
Different intel companies that usually contribute to the evaluation have been intentionally excluded to stifle dissent.
As “irrefutable proof,” she unlocked the 2020 report of the Home Intelligence Committee that had by no means earlier than been seen publicly, due to the machinations of then-Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who buried it as categorized in a limited-access vault at CIA headquarters. The report outlined intimately the occasions that I summarized above.
It was straightforward to take action as a result of lots of them are contained within the e book I wrote six years in the past, “Witch Hunt:” “John Brennan was instrumental in proliferating the file. However even earlier than the Clinton marketing campaign and Democrats funded Christopher Steele’s challenge to smear Trump with the collusion hoax, the seeds of the collusion narrative have been germinated by none aside from Brennan.” (Pages 66-67)
TULSI GABBARD DETAILS BOMBSHELL CLAIMS OF OBAMA-ERA CABAL’S ‘TREASONOUS CONSPIRACY’ AGAINST TRUMP
I recounted how Brennan boasted to the Home Intel Committee in Might of 2017 that he had been the primary to alert the FBI about collusion. “As he exerted unusual stress on the FBI to pursue a counterintelligence probe on Trump, he resolved to assist unfold the false allegations to Congress and the media. He politicized phony intelligence and instigated the fraudulent case towards Clinton’s opponent.” (Web page 68)
The Russians by no means had “Kompromat” (compromising materials) on Trump, because the file falsely accused. However they apparently did have it on Hillary. And that proved fairly a stunner on Wednesday.
The heretofore hidden Home Intelligence report reveals how Russian intelligence “possessed DNC communications that in 2016 Clinton was affected by ‘intensified psycho-emotional issues, together with uncontrolled suits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness.’ Clinton was positioned on a day by day routine of ‘heavy tranquilizers’ and whereas afraid of dropping, she remained ‘obsessive about a thirst for energy.’”
Obama and Democrat Get together bosses apparently knew all about Clinton’s psychological instability and located it “terribly alarming.” A lot so, they apprehensive it may need a “critical destructive impression” on the November election.
Not like the file, these surprising discoveries weren’t simply idle gossip. The committee reviewed reams of supply materials and obtained corroboration throughout some 20 interviews with FBI brokers and intelligence officers.

How did the Russians get their fingers on the damaging materials? The report explains that Putin ordered hacking operations on the Clinton marketing campaign and the Democratic Nationwide Committee. It appears that evidently since Putin believed Hillary would win the election, he held the “Kompromat” in his again pocket to make use of as potential blackmail for later use.
His problem was devising a method to contort the recognized proof and contradict the consensus of practically everybody else within the intelligence group. No downside. CIA specialists on Russia who strenuously objected have been sidelined and silenced.
In sending a legal referral for attainable prosecution to the Justice Division, Gabbard said, “The proof that we’ve got discovered and that we’ve got launched straight level to President Obama main the manufacturing of this intelligence evaluation.”
In response, the DOJ introduced that it had fashioned a “strike pressure” to totally assess all of the proof and to analyze the following authorized steps. Legal professional Normal Pam Bondi vowed to “go away no stone unturned to ship justice.”

Obama denies any wrongdoing. However he ought to thank Trump for successful the current landmark Supreme Courtroom choice that gives all presidents with immunity. Mockingly, the previous president can now disguise behind its broad protections. Nonetheless, no such protect extends to others concerned.
It’s folly to foretell at this stage what prosecutions, if any, the longer term might maintain. However the stain of corruption is already embedded within the epitaph of Obama’s presidency.
