"We have evidence to prosecute Obama for 2016 election narrative" - DNI Tulsi Gabbard says.
Full article is here from the WASHINGTON EXAMINER:
Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard claims there is evidence to prosecute former President Barack Obama for his administration's intelligence assessment of Russia’s 2016 election interference.
Gabbard declassified documents and claimed it proved: “That the Obama administration’s intelligence officials manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for the FBI’s later investigation into Russian ties to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.”
Gabbard on FOX NEWS said she was referring documents from Obama officials to the DOJ as a criminal matter. She added: “We’re going to provide everything that we have, everything that we will continue to gather to DOJ for that directs intent and purpose. There must be indictments for those responsible, no matter how powerful they are and were at that time, no matter who was involved in creating this treasonous conspiracy against the people, they all must be held accountable. I’m not a lawyer, but in my view, we have evidence to move and to prosecute and to indict all those responsible.”
History on this: The Obama administration at the time, however, did not conclude what Gabbard is now saying she has. A bipartisan report in 2020 from the Senate Intelligence Committee supported the intelligence community’s assessment at the time of Russia’s sole role in the interference of the 2016 election that favored Trump over Hillary Clinton.
NOTE: The Mueller report (seen here .pdf 448 pages) basically proves that point beyond any reasonable doubt - no blame on Trump but a ton on Russian intelligence and their operatives.
Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, called Gabbard’s threat to refer Obama's administration officials to federal law enforcement for prosecution “dangerous and there was absolutely no legal basis for any prosecution.”
On FACE THE NATION Himes said: “When you start throwing around language like sedition and treason, somebody is going to get hurt. The intelligence community is full of very, very good people who do their jobs every single day, and now they're watching their leader do something that each and every one knows is dishonest.”

My 2 Cents: This story underscores the contention that Tulsi Gabbard was and remains unqualified for the job as DNI. She is a full-ledged conspiracy nut and the above story makes that clear. She is way in over head and in fact is a danger to the full idea of honesty and truth fullness in the art of intelligence reporting to help protect the country.
The opposite is true and she should be removed from office would be my estimate and ASAP is the better for our safety and common sense in the critical position that she now holds.
Thanks for stopping.
