A report at Fox News charged, "Obama admin 'manufactured' intelligence to create 2016 Russian election interference narrative, documents show."Gabbard's comment? "There was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government."
The report said the Obama administration "manufactured and politicized intelligence" to "create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise."
The scheming by Obama and others in his administration actually "laid the groundwork for what would be the yearslong Trump–Russia collusion probe."
Other documents reviewed by Fox confirmed that at that time, also, "then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said, 'Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the U.S. presidential election outcome.'"
The briefing, with input from the Department of Homeland Security, the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, FBI, National Security Agency and State Department and open sources, found it was "highly unlikely" any effort resulted in any change to official state votes.
Fox reported, however, then other documents revealed a demand by the FBI to "dissent," and that actually prompted a delay in the information being forwarded.
Then, the report said, there was a meeting of the National Security Council, Clapper, then-CIA Director John Brennan, then-National Security Advisor Susan Rice, then-Secretary of State John Kerry, then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch, then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, and the result was a plan to "create a new" assessment at the president's "request."
Then Obama officials leaked "false statements" to the press alleging Russia used cyber technology to interfere in, "if not actively influence" the outcome of the election.
"Officials told Fox News Digital that the new assessment 'was based on information that was known by those involved to be manufactured i.e. the Steele Dossier or deemed as not credible,'" the report said.
What followed were the "countless smears" of Trump's victory, the years-long Mueller investigation, two impeachments and more.
Gabbard told Fox, "The information we are releasing today clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government. Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people."
She said every person involved "must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to ensure nothing like this ever happens again."Gabbard posted this image on X to explain the conspiracy:
