Speaker 3: Number one, it was a bombshell press conference at the
Speaker 3: White House, Tolci Gabbard coming out and talking about this
Speaker 3: possible criminal referral to the Department of Justice for an investigation,
Speaker 3: and it all revolves around Russia collusion, and now it
Speaker 3: involves a former president by the name of Barack Obama.
Speaker 3: I want you to take a listen to what Tulsi
Speaker 3: Gabbard had to say at the White House press briefing room.
Speaker 3: She's the Director of National Intelligence, and she is now
Speaker 3: officially hinted former President Barack Obama has in fact been
Speaker 3: referred to the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation. Now,
Speaker 3: she did not address the constitutional obstacles or a prosecution,
Speaker 3: but what she did do is lay out the facts. Here.
Speaker 3: She is, in her own words at the White House podium.
Speaker 4: Thank you very much, good afternoon. At President Trump's direction
Speaker 4: and with the support and coordination with the House Intelligence
Speaker 4: Committee Chairman Rick, today we've released a declassified oversight Majority
Speaker 4: staff report that was produced in September of twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: The stunning revelations that we are releasing today should be
Speaker 4: of concern to every American. This is not about Democrats Republicans.
Speaker 4: This has to do with the integrity of our Democratic
Speaker 4: republic and American voters having faith that the votes cast
Speaker 4: will count. There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President
Speaker 4: Obama and his national security team directed the creation of
Speaker 4: an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false. They
Speaker 4: knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered
Speaker 4: in the twenty sixteen election to help President Trump win,
Speaker 4: selling it to the American people as though it were true.
Speaker 4: It wasn't. The report that we released today's shows in
Speaker 4: great detail how they carried this out. They manufactured findings
Speaker 4: from shoddy sources. They suppressed evidence and credible intelligence that
Speaker 4: disproved their false claim, as they disobeyed traditional tradecraft intelligence
Speaker 4: community standards and withheld the truth from the American people.
Speaker 4: In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of
Speaker 4: the American people who elected Donald Trump in that election
Speaker 4: in November of twenty sixteen. They worked with their partners
Speaker 4: in the media to promote this lie, ultimately to undermine
Speaker 4: the legitimacy of President Trump and launching what would be
Speaker 4: a year's long coup against him and his administration. We're
Speaker 4: here today because the American people deserve the truth, they
Speaker 4: deserve accountability, and they deserve justice. The records that we
Speaker 4: released on Friday that were ODE and I records Senator
Speaker 4: Chuck Grassley's release on Monday of what is known as
Speaker 4: the Clinton Annex, which was an appendix to the Department
Speaker 4: of Justice Office of Inspector General's twenty eighteen report, as
Speaker 4: well as the House Intelligence Committee's Oversight Majority Oversight report.
Speaker 4: That we're releasing today all come back to and confirm
Speaker 4: the same report. There was a gross politicization manipulation of
Speaker 4: intelligence by the Obama administration intended to delegitimize President Trump
Speaker 4: even before he was inaugurated, ultimately usurping the will of
Speaker 4: the American people. I'm going to go over the key
Speaker 4: findings from the House Intelligence Report, which investigated the claims
Speaker 4: that were made by an intelligence community assessment ordered by
Speaker 4: President Obama and published in January of twenty seventeen. First,
Speaker 4: Putin's principal interests relating to the twenty sixteen election were
Speaker 4: to undermine faith in the US democratic process, not show
Speaker 4: any preference of a certain candidate. In fact, this report
Speaker 4: shows Putin held back leaking, held back from leaking compromising
Speaker 4: material on Hillary Clinton prior to the election, instead planning
Speaker 4: to release it after the election to weaken what Moscow
Speaker 4: viewed as an inevitable Clinton presidency. In the January twenty
Speaker 4: seventeen intelligence Community assessment that President Obama ordered, John Brennan,
Speaker 4: whose CIA director at the time, and the intelligence community
Speaker 4: intentionally suppressed intelligence that showed Putin was saving the most
Speaker 4: damaging material that he had in his possession about Hillary
Speaker 4: Clinton until after her potential and likely victory. The report
Speaker 4: goes into great detail about the information that Russia and
Speaker 4: Putin had which on Hillary Clinton, which included possible criminal
Speaker 4: acts like secret meetings with multiple named US religious organizations
Speaker 4: in which State Department officials offered, in exchange for supporting
Speaker 4: Secretary Clinton's campaign for the presidency, significant increases in financing
Speaker 4: from the State Department. They also had documents that showed
Speaker 4: the patronage of the State Department to State Department employees
Speaker 4: who would go and support Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. There
Speaker 4: were high level DNC emails that detailed evidence of Hillary's
Speaker 4: quote psycho emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness,
Speaker 4: and that then Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily
Speaker 4: regiment of heavy tranquilizers. THEIA director Brennan and the intelligence
Speaker 4: community mischaracterized intelligence and relied on dubious, substandard sources to
Speaker 4: create a contrived, false narrative that Putin developed a quote
Speaker 4: unquote clear preference for Trump. Brennan and the ICEE misled
Speaker 4: lawmakers by referencing the debunked Steele dossier to assess quote
Speaker 4: unquote Russia's plans and intentions. Falsely suggesting that this dossier
Speaker 4: had intelligence value when he knew that it was discredited.
Speaker 4: The Intelligence community excluded significant intelligence and ignored or selectively
Speaker 4: quoted reliable intelligence that contradicted the Intelligence community assessment's key
Speaker 4: findings on Putin's alleged support for Trump. Including this intelligence
Speaker 4: reporting would have exposed the ICA's claim as implausible, if
Speaker 4: not ridiculous. The Intelligence Community assessment omitted reliably sourced information,
Speaker 4: such as how some Russian intelligence officials were quote unquote
Speaker 4: planning for candidate Hillary Clinton's victory, while others assessed neither
Speaker 4: Trump nor Clinton would respect Russia's interests, as was reflected
Speaker 4: in the od and I documents that we released on Friday.
Speaker 4: Multiple intelligence community assessments released in the months leading up
Speaker 4: to the November twenty sixteen election concluded that Russia had
Speaker 4: neither the intent nor capability to impact the outcome of
Speaker 4: the US election. On December fifth of twenty sixteen, the
Speaker 4: FBI and ODIE and I gave the House Intelligence Committee
Speaker 4: its first post election classified briefing, in which there was
Speaker 4: no mention of Putin aspiring to elect Trump by either agency.
Speaker 4: The Presidential Daily Brief drafted on December eighth of twenty
Speaker 4: sixteen stated that no Russian or criminal actors impacted vote counts.
Speaker 4: This document was pulled just hours before it was to
Speaker 4: be published due to quote unquote new guidance. If it
Speaker 4: had been published, it would have been briefed to both
Speaker 4: President Obama and President elect Donald Trump. On December ninth,
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen, a National Security Council meeting was called to
Speaker 4: gather President Obama's senior national security officials, which included CIA
Speaker 4: Director Brennan, then Obama, d and I, James Clapper, Susan Rice,
Speaker 4: and others. Following that secret meeting, DNI, Clapper's assistant sent
Speaker 4: an email to the intelligence community with the subject line
Speaker 4: potus tasking on Russia election medaling, tasking OD and I
Speaker 4: leaders to create a new assessment per the President's request.
Speaker 4: The House Intelligence Committee oversite report that we released today
Speaker 4: reveals that, quote unlike routine intelligence community analysis, the Intelligence
Speaker 4: Community assessment was a high profile product ordered by the
Speaker 4: President President Obama. It directed senior Intelligence community agency heads
Speaker 4: and created an intelligence community assessment limited to just five
Speaker 4: analysts using one principal drafter. This is not something that
Speaker 4: occurs in the normal path of producing an Intelligence Community
Speaker 4: assessment that reflects the views across the intelligence community. The
Speaker 4: production of this intelligence community assessment was subject to unusual
Speaker 4: directives directly from the President and senior political appointee, especially
Speaker 4: the former Director of the CIA, John Brennan. The House
Speaker 4: Intelligence Committee oversite report also shows how later that same day,
Speaker 4: on December ninth, Brennan ordered the publication of quote unquote
Speaker 4: substandard reporting on Russian activities. Some of the information later
Speaker 4: used in the Obama ordered assessment, over the objections of
Speaker 4: veteran CIA officers, was quote unquote unclear or from unknown sources.
Speaker 4: The Intelligence Committee's oversite report reveals that CIA Director Brennan
Speaker 4: overruled senior CIA officers who challenged the Obama ordered intelligence assessment, stating, quote,
Speaker 4: we don't have direct information that Putin wanted to get
Speaker 4: Trump elected. Yet the Obama directed assessment was published on
Speaker 4: January sixth, twenty seventeen, which explicitly stated, quote, we assess
Speaker 4: Putin and the Russian government aspired to help President elect
Speaker 4: Trump's election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and
Speaker 4: publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him. Quote. The CIA and FBI,
Speaker 4: then led by John Brennan and James Comy expressed high
Speaker 4: confidence in this judgment, while the NSA expressed moderate confidence. Yet,
Speaker 4: as the report we released today shows, the ICA the
Speaker 4: Intelligence Community Assessment did not cite any report where Putin
Speaker 4: indicated helping Trump win was an objective. The opposite is
Speaker 4: true with regards to the Steele dossier. We now know
Speaker 4: that one of the source documents that the Obama administration
Speaker 4: used in the creation of this intelligence assessment in January
Speaker 4: of twenty seventeen was none other than the discredited, unverified
Speaker 4: Steele dossier. The House Intel report states, quote, contradicting public
Speaker 4: claims by then CIA Director Brennan that the dossier was
Speaker 4: not in any way incorporated into this intelligence assessment. The
Speaker 4: dossier was referenced in the intelligence assessment's main body text
Speaker 4: and further detailed in a two page assessment annex. John
Speaker 4: Brennan lied, and he denied using this dossier in this
Speaker 4: intelligence assessment that President Obama ordered because he knew it
Speaker 4: was discredited, it was a politically motivated, manufactured document. He
Speaker 4: directed senior CIA officials to use it anyway. CIA officer
Speaker 4: told the House Intelligence Committee staff as they investigated this quote,
Speaker 4: the Director of the CIA, John Brennan, refused to remove it, and,
Speaker 4: when confronted with the dossier's many flaws, responded, quote, yes,
Speaker 4: but doesn't it ring true? Even the bipartisan Senate Select
Speaker 4: Committee on Intelligence report published in twenty twenty, criticized the
Speaker 4: FBI's handling of the Steele dossier, noting its completely unverified
Speaker 4: nature and purposeful side stepping of intelligence community procedures in
Speaker 4: its use. Now President Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper,
Speaker 4: James Cobe, and others, including their mouthpieces in the media,
Speaker 4: knowingly lied as they repeated the contrived narrative that was
Speaker 4: created in this January twenty seventeen intelligence Community assessment with
Speaker 4: high confidence, as though it were fact. John Brennan, as
Speaker 4: CIA Director, stated in a memo to his agency staff
Speaker 4: in December of twenty sixteen, saying quote, there is strong
Speaker 4: consensus among us on the scope, nature, and intent of
Speaker 4: Russian interference in our presidential elected election. This was reported
Speaker 4: by NBC News confirming that Brennan, along with James Clapper
Speaker 4: and James Comey, agreed with the CIA's assessment that Russia
Speaker 4: intervened to help Trump win the presidency. As Obama's Director
Speaker 4: of National Intelligence, James Clapper, was tasked with overseeing the
Speaker 4: creation of this assessment in January of twenty seventeen by
Speaker 4: President Obama, and he expressed confidence in its findings. In
Speaker 4: a twenty eighteen interview with the Harvard Gazette, he talked
Speaker 4: about how he provided Trump with the same classified assessment
Speaker 4: that President Obama received, which included the high confidence judgment
Speaker 4: that putin directly ordered the hacking and election interference. Clapper
Speaker 4: then went on to add, I think they the right
Speaker 4: Oshans actually influenced the outcome. This is a brief summary
Speaker 4: of the details that you'll find within the House Majority
Speaker 4: Staff's report in their investigation into the Obama directed January
Speaker 4: twenty seventeen Intelligence community assessment that leads us to the
Speaker 4: very same conclusion that we announced in the release of
Speaker 4: our documents on Friday. The implications of this are far
Speaker 4: reaching and have to do with the integrity of our
Speaker 4: democratic republic. It has to do with an outgoing president
Speaker 4: taking action to manufacture intelligence to undermine and usurp the
Speaker 4: will of the American people in that election and launch
Speaker 4: what would be a year's long coup against the incoming president.
Speaker 3: Election This is shocking but also not surprising based on
Speaker 3: what we know about what the left has done to
Speaker 3: try to take out Donald Trump. But we are hearing
Speaker 3: the name of Barack Obama and exactly what he was
Speaker 3: trying to do. And if you look at the shocking
Speaker 3: main points here, the Director our National Intelligence is accusing
Speaker 3: the former president Barack Obama and his team of a
Speaker 3: treasonous conspiracy, saying that they clearly manufactured intelligence assessments accusing
Speaker 3: Russia of aiding Donald Trump in twenty sixteen, and intentionally,
Speaker 3: as she described it, intentionally was the word that she
Speaker 3: used to mislead the American people.
