“Americans will finally learn the truth about how in 2016, intelligence was politicized and weaponized by the most powerful people in the Obama Administration to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President @realDonaldTrump, subverting the will of the American people and undermining our democratic republic.” skrev direktøren for det samlede amerikanske efterretningsvæsen Tulsi Gabbard på X efter at have “made public more than 100 pages of emails, memos and other records cataloguing what she called Obama officials’ “conspiracy to subvert President Trump’s 2016 victory.”” som man kan læse i New York Post. 

Earlier this month, CIA Director John Ratcliffe released a bombshell review of the 2016 assessment that concluded Clapper, Brennan and Comey deliberately corrupted it for “potential political motive[s].”

The Trump Justice Department later launched an investigation into Brennan and Comey for potential criminal violations related to the crafting of that assessment more than eight years ago.

Gabbard said in a statement that she was forwarding the records to the Department of Justice “to deliver the accountability that President Trump, his family, and the American people deserve.”

For months preceding the 2016 election, the Intelligence Community shared a consensus view: Russia lacked the intent and capability to hack U.S. elections.

But weeks after President Trump’s historic 2016 victory defeating Hillary Clinton, everything changed.

On Dec 8, 2016, IC officials prepared an assessment for the President’s Daily Brief, finding that Russia “did not impact recent U.S. election results” by conducting cyber attacks on infrastructure.

Before it could reach the President, it was abruptly pulled “based on new guidance.” This key intelligence assessment was never published.

The next day, top national security officials including FBI Dir James Comey, CIA Dir John Brennan and DNI James Clapper gathered at the Obama White House to discuss Russia. Obama directed the IC to create a new intelligence assessment that detailed Russian election meddling, even though it would contradict multiple intelligence assessments released over the previous several months.

Obama officials immediately leaned on their allies in the media to advance their falsehoods. Anonymous IC sources leaked classified information to the Washington Post and others that Russia had intervened to hack the election in Trump’s favor.

On January 6, 2017, just days before President Trump took office, DNI Clapper unveiled the Obama-directed politicized assessment, a gross weaponization of intelligence that laid the groundwork for a years-long coup intended to subvert President Trump’s entire presidency.

According to whistleblower emails shared with us today, we know Clapper and Brennan used the baseless discredited Steele Dossier as a source to push this false narrative in the intelligence assessment.

These documents detail a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate.

This betrayal concerns every American. The integrity of our democratic republic demands that every person involved be investigated and brought to justice to prevent this from ever happening again.

I am providing all documents to the Department of Justice to deliver the accountability that President Trump, his family, and the American people deserve.

“To take one example, intelligence officials on December 8th, 2016 were prepared to release a Presidential Daily Briefing concluding that “Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure”:” skrev Matt Taibbi for Racket News

That “did not impact” memo — exactly the opposite of what the Obama White House would claim a month later — never reached the public, thanks to the intervention of a senior official in Director of National Intelligence James Clapper’s office:

On the following day, December 9th, 2016, members of Obama’s National Security Principals Committee — including Clapper, CIA director John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Brian McKeon, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, and Avril Haines — gathered for a meeting, after which each received an email titled, “POTUS Tasking on Russia Election Meddling.” The email tasked the members with the creation of a new “assessment per the President’s request.”

From that moment forward, intelligence officials began leaking “blatantly false” information about a nonexistent “secret assessment” that Russia intervened to influence the “outcome of the election.” This leaking continued unabated until January 6th, when a new, hastily-crafted Intelligence Community Assessment was released, triggering a series of developments that led to the publication of the Steele Dossier and an explosion of media stories linking Trump and Russia in an unprecedented scandal.

One of the things we learned, however, was that Brennan claimed in 2017 testimony before Congress that the Steele dossier, an oppo doc paid for by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Democrats, wasn’t “in any way” used as a basis for the ICA. In a 2023 House interview, Brennan claimed the “CIA was very much opposed to having any reference or inclusion of the Steele dossier in the Intelligence Community Assessment.” The problem is that newly declassified CIA emails allegedly show Brennan not only repeatedly pressing for insertion of the Steele dossier’s claims but doing it over the objections of others.

In one 2016 email, Brennan allegedly disregarded warnings from his deputy that the dossier would undermine “the credibility of the entire paper.” When two CIA mission center leaders responsible for Russia challenged him about integrating a poorly constructed partisan document into the ICA, Brennan overruled them, insisting: “My bottom line is that I believe that the information warrants inclusion in the report.”

Now, there is always a chance that Ratcliffe’s report is skewed to make Brennan’s emails look more incriminating than they were. We’ll have to see. We already know that Brennan has for years lied about having insider knowledge of an unprecedented seditious criminal conspiracy against the United States.

When Robert Mueller’s investigation was unable to pull together a single indictment related to “collusion,” Brennan shrugged it off by saying that he may have “received bad information.”

He hadn’t.

Specialundersøger Robert Muellers efterforskning af mulig “collusion” mellem Trumps kampagne og Kreml om at underløbe den amerikanske valghandling (ingen kendte dengang til begrebet valgbenægtelse). Men “The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.” kunne Politico fortælle efter to års rullende kupforsøg, som Mollie Hemingway og andre betegnede det.

Implikationerne er nærmest uoverskuelige. Tænk ikke Trump, men outsider kandidaten med sine egne penge, et mediegravitas af en anden verden, uden politisk gæld, varsler en radikalt ny retning for USA, en retning helt modsat hvad oberstløjtnant Vindmann kaldte “the interagency consensus”, paradigmet med de mange krige og regimeskifter som udenrigsministeriet og dets CIA havde dyrket siden Den Kolde Krig. Det er for, hvad jeg kalder ‘systemet CIA’, en eksistentiel trussel, en som må elimineres, koste hvad det vil.
