1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbert, has unveiled shocking new

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: evidence that former President Barack Obama, in top aids in

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: the Obama administration, conspired to subvert President Trump's twenty sixteen

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: election victory. In undermine the democratic will of the American people.

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: The Obama administration manufactured politicized intelligence, which was later used

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: as the justification for baseless smears against President Trump.

7
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,720

Speaker 3: and we have shocking evidence now that there is a

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: former president by the name of Barack Obama who decided

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 3: to fabricate intelligence to go after and undermine not only

12
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: Donald Trump when he was coming into office in twenty sixteen,

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,040

Speaker 3: owned by great concer conservatives, fellow Patriots, Buck Sexton and

34
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,880

55
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: Number one, it was a bombshell press conference at the

56
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: White House, Tolci Gabbard coming out and talking about this

57
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 3: possible criminal referral to the Department of Justice for an investigation,

58
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: and it all revolves around Russia collusion, and now it

59
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 3: involves a former president by the name of Barack Obama.

60
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: I want you to take a listen to what Tulsi

61
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: Gabbard had to say at the White House press briefing room.

62
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 3: She's the Director of National Intelligence, and she is now

63
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: officially hinted former President Barack Obama has in fact been

64
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: referred to the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation. Now,

65
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: she did not address the constitutional obstacles or a prosecution,

66
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: but what she did do is lay out the facts. Here.

67
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: She is, in her own words at the White House podium.

68
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 4: Thank you very much, good afternoon. At President Trump's direction

69
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: and with the support and coordination with the House Intelligence

70
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 4: Committee Chairman Rick, today we've released a declassified oversight Majority

71
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 4: staff report that was produced in September of twenty twenty.

72
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 4: The stunning revelations that we are releasing today should be

73
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: of concern to every American. This is not about Democrats Republicans.

74
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 4: This has to do with the integrity of our Democratic

75
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 4: republic and American voters having faith that the votes cast

76
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 4: will count. There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President

77
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 4: Obama and his national security team directed the creation of

78
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 4: an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false. They

79
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 4: knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered

80
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 4: in the twenty sixteen election to help President Trump win,

81
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 4: selling it to the American people as though it were true.

82
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 4: It wasn't. The report that we released today's shows in

83
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 4: great detail how they carried this out. They manufactured findings

84
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 4: from shoddy sources. They suppressed evidence and credible intelligence that

85
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 4: disproved their false claim, as they disobeyed traditional tradecraft intelligence

86
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 4: community standards and withheld the truth from the American people.

87
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 4: In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of

88
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 4: the American people who elected Donald Trump in that election

89
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 4: in November of twenty sixteen. They worked with their partners

90
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 4: in the media to promote this lie, ultimately to undermine

91
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 4: the legitimacy of President Trump and launching what would be

92
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 4: a year's long coup against him and his administration. We're

93
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 4: here today because the American people deserve the truth, they

94
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 4: deserve accountability, and they deserve justice. The records that we

95
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 4: released on Friday that were ODE and I records Senator

96
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 4: Chuck Grassley's release on Monday of what is known as

97
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 4: the Clinton Annex, which was an appendix to the Department

98
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 4: of Justice Office of Inspector General's twenty eighteen report, as

99
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 4: well as the House Intelligence Committee's Oversight Majority Oversight report.

100
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 4: That we're releasing today all come back to and confirm

101
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 4: the same report. There was a gross politicization manipulation of

102
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 4: intelligence by the Obama administration intended to delegitimize President Trump

103
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 4: even before he was inaugurated, ultimately usurping the will of

104
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: the American people. I'm going to go over the key

105
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 4: findings from the House Intelligence Report, which investigated the claims

106
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 4: that were made by an intelligence community assessment ordered by

107
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 4: President Obama and published in January of twenty seventeen. First,

108
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 4: Putin's principal interests relating to the twenty sixteen election were

109
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 4: to undermine faith in the US democratic process, not show

110
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: any preference of a certain candidate. In fact, this report

111
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 4: shows Putin held back leaking, held back from leaking compromising

112
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 4: material on Hillary Clinton prior to the election, instead planning

113
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 4: to release it after the election to weaken what Moscow

114
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 4: viewed as an inevitable Clinton presidency. In the January twenty

115
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 4: seventeen intelligence Community assessment that President Obama ordered, John Brennan,

116
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 4: whose CIA director at the time, and the intelligence community

117
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 4: intentionally suppressed intelligence that showed Putin was saving the most

118
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 4: damaging material that he had in his possession about Hillary

119
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 4: Clinton until after her potential and likely victory. The report

120
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 4: goes into great detail about the information that Russia and

121
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: Putin had which on Hillary Clinton, which included possible criminal

122
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 4: acts like secret meetings with multiple named US religious organizations

123
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 4: in which State Department officials offered, in exchange for supporting

124
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 4: Secretary Clinton's campaign for the presidency, significant increases in financing

125
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 4: from the State Department. They also had documents that showed

126
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 4: the patronage of the State Department to State Department employees

127
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 4: who would go and support Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. There

128
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 4: were high level DNC emails that detailed evidence of Hillary's

129
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 4: quote psycho emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness,

130
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 4: and that then Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily

131
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: regiment of heavy tranquilizers. THEIA director Brennan and the intelligence

132
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: community mischaracterized intelligence and relied on dubious, substandard sources to

133
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 4: create a contrived, false narrative that Putin developed a quote

134
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 4: unquote clear preference for Trump. Brennan and the ICEE misled

135
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 4: lawmakers by referencing the debunked Steele dossier to assess quote

136
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: unquote Russia's plans and intentions. Falsely suggesting that this dossier

137
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 4: had intelligence value when he knew that it was discredited.

138
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: The Intelligence community excluded significant intelligence and ignored or selectively

139
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 4: quoted reliable intelligence that contradicted the Intelligence community assessment's key

140
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 4: findings on Putin's alleged support for Trump. Including this intelligence

141
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 4: reporting would have exposed the ICA's claim as implausible, if

142
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 4: not ridiculous. The Intelligence Community assessment omitted reliably sourced information,

143
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 4: such as how some Russian intelligence officials were quote unquote

144
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 4: planning for candidate Hillary Clinton's victory, while others assessed neither

145
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 4: Trump nor Clinton would respect Russia's interests, as was reflected

146
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 4: in the od and I documents that we released on Friday.

147
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 4: Multiple intelligence community assessments released in the months leading up

148
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 4: to the November twenty sixteen election concluded that Russia had

149
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 4: neither the intent nor capability to impact the outcome of

150
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 4: the US election. On December fifth of twenty sixteen, the

151
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 4: FBI and ODIE and I gave the House Intelligence Committee

152
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 4: its first post election classified briefing, in which there was

153
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 4: no mention of Putin aspiring to elect Trump by either agency.

154
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 4: The Presidential Daily Brief drafted on December eighth of twenty

155
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 4: sixteen stated that no Russian or criminal actors impacted vote counts.

156
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 4: This document was pulled just hours before it was to

157
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 4: be published due to quote unquote new guidance. If it

158
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 4: had been published, it would have been briefed to both

159
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 4: President Obama and President elect Donald Trump. On December ninth,

160
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen, a National Security Council meeting was called to

161
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 4: gather President Obama's senior national security officials, which included CIA

162
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 4: Director Brennan, then Obama, d and I, James Clapper, Susan Rice,

163
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 4: and others. Following that secret meeting, DNI, Clapper's assistant sent

164
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 4: an email to the intelligence community with the subject line

165
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 4: potus tasking on Russia election medaling, tasking OD and I

166
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 4: leaders to create a new assessment per the President's request.

167
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 4: The House Intelligence Committee oversite report that we released today

168
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 4: reveals that, quote unlike routine intelligence community analysis, the Intelligence

169
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: Community assessment was a high profile product ordered by the

170
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 4: President President Obama. It directed senior Intelligence community agency heads

171
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 4: and created an intelligence community assessment limited to just five

172
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 4: analysts using one principal drafter. This is not something that

173
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 4: occurs in the normal path of producing an Intelligence Community

174
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 4: assessment that reflects the views across the intelligence community. The

175
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 4: production of this intelligence community assessment was subject to unusual

176
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 4: directives directly from the President and senior political appointee, especially

177
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 4: the former Director of the CIA, John Brennan. The House

178
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 4: Intelligence Committee oversite report also shows how later that same day,

179
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 4: on December ninth, Brennan ordered the publication of quote unquote

180
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 4: substandard reporting on Russian activities. Some of the information later

181
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 4: used in the Obama ordered assessment, over the objections of

182
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 4: veteran CIA officers, was quote unquote unclear or from unknown sources.

183
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 4: The Intelligence Committee's oversite report reveals that CIA Director Brennan

184
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 4: overruled senior CIA officers who challenged the Obama ordered intelligence assessment, stating, quote,

185
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 4: we don't have direct information that Putin wanted to get

186
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 4: Trump elected. Yet the Obama directed assessment was published on

187
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 4: January sixth, twenty seventeen, which explicitly stated, quote, we assess

188
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 4: Putin and the Russian government aspired to help President elect

189
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 4: Trump's election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and

190
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 4: publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him. Quote. The CIA and FBI,

191
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 4: then led by John Brennan and James Comy expressed high

192
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 4: confidence in this judgment, while the NSA expressed moderate confidence. Yet,

193
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 4: as the report we released today shows, the ICA the

194
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: Intelligence Community Assessment did not cite any report where Putin

195
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 4: indicated helping Trump win was an objective. The opposite is

196
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 4: true with regards to the Steele dossier. We now know

197
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 4: that one of the source documents that the Obama administration

198
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 4: used in the creation of this intelligence assessment in January

199
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 4: of twenty seventeen was none other than the discredited, unverified

200
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 4: Steele dossier. The House Intel report states, quote, contradicting public

201
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 4: claims by then CIA Director Brennan that the dossier was

202
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 4: not in any way incorporated into this intelligence assessment. The

203
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 4: dossier was referenced in the intelligence assessment's main body text

204
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 4: and further detailed in a two page assessment annex. John

205
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 4: Brennan lied, and he denied using this dossier in this

206
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 4: intelligence assessment that President Obama ordered because he knew it

207
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 4: was discredited, it was a politically motivated, manufactured document. He

208
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: directed senior CIA officials to use it anyway. CIA officer

209
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 4: told the House Intelligence Committee staff as they investigated this quote,

210
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 4: the Director of the CIA, John Brennan, refused to remove it, and,

211
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 4: when confronted with the dossier's many flaws, responded, quote, yes,

212
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 4: but doesn't it ring true? Even the bipartisan Senate Select

213
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 4: Committee on Intelligence report published in twenty twenty, criticized the

214
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 4: FBI's handling of the Steele dossier, noting its completely unverified

215
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 4: nature and purposeful side stepping of intelligence community procedures in

216
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 4: its use. Now President Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper,

217
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: James Cobe, and others, including their mouthpieces in the media,

218
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 4: knowingly lied as they repeated the contrived narrative that was

219
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 4: created in this January twenty seventeen intelligence Community assessment with

220
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 4: high confidence, as though it were fact. John Brennan, as

221
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 4: CIA Director, stated in a memo to his agency staff

222
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 4: in December of twenty sixteen, saying quote, there is strong

223
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 4: consensus among us on the scope, nature, and intent of

224
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 4: Russian interference in our presidential elected election. This was reported

225
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 4: by NBC News confirming that Brennan, along with James Clapper

226
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 4: and James Comey, agreed with the CIA's assessment that Russia

227
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 4: intervened to help Trump win the presidency. As Obama's Director

228
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 4: of National Intelligence, James Clapper, was tasked with overseeing the

229
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 4: creation of this assessment in January of twenty seventeen by

230
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 4: President Obama, and he expressed confidence in its findings. In

231
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 4: a twenty eighteen interview with the Harvard Gazette, he talked

232
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 4: about how he provided Trump with the same classified assessment

233
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 4: that President Obama received, which included the high confidence judgment

234
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 4: that putin directly ordered the hacking and election interference. Clapper

235
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 4: then went on to add, I think they the right

236
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 4: Oshans actually influenced the outcome. This is a brief summary

237
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 4: of the details that you'll find within the House Majority

238
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 4: Staff's report in their investigation into the Obama directed January

239
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 4: twenty seventeen Intelligence community assessment that leads us to the

240
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 4: very same conclusion that we announced in the release of

241
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: our documents on Friday. The implications of this are far

242
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 4: reaching and have to do with the integrity of our

243
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 4: democratic republic. It has to do with an outgoing president

244
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 4: taking action to manufacture intelligence to undermine and usurp the

245
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 4: will of the American people in that election and launch

246
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 4: what would be a year's long coup against the incoming president.

247
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 3: Election This is shocking but also not surprising based on

248
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: what we know about what the left has done to

249
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: try to take out Donald Trump. But we are hearing

250
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: the name of Barack Obama and exactly what he was

251
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: trying to do. And if you look at the shocking

252
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: main points here, the Director our National Intelligence is accusing

253
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: the former president Barack Obama and his team of a

254
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: treasonous conspiracy, saying that they clearly manufactured intelligence assessments accusing

255
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 3: Russia of aiding Donald Trump in twenty sixteen, and intentionally,

256
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: as she described it, intentionally was the word that she

257
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: used to mislead the American people.
