DNI Tulsi Gabbard Holds a Press Conference While Declassifying and Releasing the 2020 HPSCI Report Deconstructing the Trump-Russia Narrative

Today, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard declassified and released the 2020 House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence report (HPSCI), that outlines their investigation into the Intelligence Community Joint Analysis Report (JAR) of 2016 and the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that followed.

~ SEE DECLASSIFIED REPORT PDF HERE ~

I know that’s a lot of acronyms, however, the key element of Director Tulsi Gabbard’s release today is to underscore just how fraudulent the JAR/ICA created in 2016 and 2017 was. The JAR/ICA report was fabricated by the CIA and Intelligence Community to give the appearance of Russia interfering in the election. The declassified HPSCI report takes that fraudulent intelligence analysis apart, step by step.

The JAR/ICA was also used to justify President Obama expelling Russian diplomats, confiscating Russian property, targeting Russian officials for sanctions, and imposing a series of sanctions against various Russian entities, individuals, groups and organizations.  All of the Obama’s Russian targeting effort was part of an enhanced IC op to give additional patina of credibility to the fraudulent premise.

In many ways, Russia was collateral damage created by a domestic USA political intelligence operation run by Obama allies in order to attempt to destabilize the incoming administration of President Donald Trump.  ¹The framing of both Donald Trump and Russia is going to be a key facet to accept as time moves forward on this story.

I will have more on the Tulsi release of the HPSCI report shortly.  In the interim…

¹The timing does not appear to be accidental.  President Trump gives Russia 50 days to come to the negotiation table and end the conflict in Ukraine.  A few days later, DNI Tulsi Gabbard begins releasing information that shows both President Trump and President Putin being framed by the U.S. Intelligence Community.

It would appear that President Trump is setting a new baseline for a relationship with Russia.  However, first the tables need to be cleared of the historic manipulation and targeting that structurally, and fraudulently, set the course of conflict and antagonism in U.S-Russia relations.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Releases Background Information of President Obama Involvement in Trump-Russia Targeting Op. Sundance

 

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Releases Background Information of President Obama Involvement in Trump-Russia Targeting Op

The Trump-Russia collusion story was always a targeted false smear intended to generate a special counsel and hamstring the surprising winner from the 2016 election, Donald Trump.  The Russia-Collusion narrative was always an Intelligence Community op against Donald TRump.

Yesterday, Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard released a tranche of background information, [114 pages of information],  showing how the Obama administration intentionally and with great purpose fabricated the entire story.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Press Release HereFiles Containing Evidence Here

Staying focused on the trail of evidence held deep within the ODNI office, is why Tulsi Gabbard has been targeted for removal over the past several weeks.  Kudos to Tulsi Gabbard for staying on mission – Great job.

What the evidence shows is a focused targeting operation intended to fabricate a false premise by the United States Intelligence Community, through the Office of former DNI James Clapper.  The op was green-lighted by Barack Obama as a way to impede the agenda of incoming President Donald Trump.  All three branches of government collaborated on the scheme.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Friday, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard revealed overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how, after President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.

·          

    • In the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the Intelligence Community (IC) consistently assessed that Russia is “probably not trying … to influence the election by using cyber means.”
    • On December 7, 2016, after the election, talking points were prepared for DNI James Clapper stating, “Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome.”
    • On December 9, 2016, President Obama’s White House gathered top National Security Council Principals for a meeting that included James Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe and others, to discuss Russia.
    • After the meeting, DNI Clapper’s Executive Assistant sent an email to IC leaders tasking them with creating a new IC assessment “per the President’s request” that details the “tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election.” It went on to say, “ODNI will lead this effort with participation from CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS.”
    • Obama officials leaked false statements to media outlets, including The Washington Post, claiming, “Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election.”
    • On January 6, 2017, a new Intelligence Community Assessment was released that directly contradicted the IC assessments that were made throughout the previous six months.
    •  

After months of investigation into this matter, the facts reveal this 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. This was politicized intelligence that was used as the basis for countless smears seeking to delegitimize President Trump’s victory, the years-long Mueller investigation, two Congressional impeachments, high level officials being investigated, arrested, and thrown in jail, heightened US-Russia tensions, and more.

“The issue I am raising is not a partisan issue. It is one that concerns every American. 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,” said DNI Tulsi Gabbard. 

“Their egregious abuse of power and blatant rejection of our Constitution threatens the very foundation and integrity of our democratic republic. No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to ensure nothing like this ever happens again. The American people’s faith and trust in our democratic republic and therefore the future of our nation depends on it. As such, I am providing all documents to the Department of Justice to deliver the accountability that President Trump, his family, and the American people deserve.”  

Is there new information within the release?  Yes and No.

All of the outlined activity, the release of the emails and communication within the scheme team, is not new.  However, the new part is the evidence.  The facts now public to support all previous claims made here and by others, this time with greater detail that cannot be refuted.

If you have been reading here for a while THE DOCUMENTS tell a story that is well known.

We were able to piece this together even without knowing how the corrupt actors were talking to each other about their specific roles, responsibilities and motives.

The documents provided by Tulsi Gabbard are the evidence of a serious coup against incoming President Trump by actors within government.   The end of their IC effort culminated in the Robert Mueller investigation.  Tulsi is providing the path to the avatar Mueller represented and all of the actors who participated with him.

Some will ask why John Durham never found this information, and/or shared it publicly.  The answer to that question is not hard to understand.  John Durham was NEVER allowed to look at the government actors in the Trump-Russia narrative.  Durham was not allowed to look at how the U.S. Intelligence Community participated.  Durham was ham-strung from the outset of his review and investigation, by Attorney General Bill Barr.

Bill Barr never let John Durham focus on the govt side of the Trump-Russia collusion story.  Tulsi Gabbard is not under any restriction on her review. That’s the difference.

Where Durham was not permitted to go, DNI Tulsi Gabbard is going.  Her release of the information is specifically because she is empowered to look at this information and release it. Special Counsel John Durham never had that authority.

Gabbard provides a top cover memo on Page #67 that highlights who were the “Principal” actors in the scheme:

 

This list of names is key.  Many of them will be familiar to you from all of the research we have poured into the Trump-Russia conspiracy.

I would draw attention to the “Justice” participants.  Main Justice Attorney General Loretta Lynch and DOJ-NSD head Mary McCord.  {GO DEEP}  Again, confirmation that Mary McCord was one of the key participants.  McCord is still one of the Lawfare leads against Trump with her friend, Norm Eisen.

Interestingly, Deputy AG Sally Yates was not a participant.  Instead it was left to AG Loretta Lynch and more importantly Mary McCord.

I would also draw attention to the “Chair” of the organization, Susan Rice.  This memo released by DNI Gabbard outlining Rice’s participation as Principal and Chair of the op, in combination with her infamous Jan 5, 2017, memo, puts context to Rice’s legal exposure.

Why do I say legal exposure, because Susan Rice is on record saying she was not a participant and never heard of the FBI investigation underpinning the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.

 

Obviously everything above is now a provable lie.

Look at that highlighted box from Susan Rice’s lawyer, Kathryn Ruemmler, and remember in his March 20, 2017, testimony Comey said, “The White House was informed through the National Security Council,” (the NSC).

FBI Director James Comey was protecting himself against the spygate surveillance of Trump, by leveraging his prior notification to the White House.  Comey was signaling, ‘you cant get me for spying on Trump without getting Susan Rice and Barack Obama’, who knew about it.

Does the January 20, 2017, Susan Rice memo look different now?

I would also draw attention to the “FBI” lead on the Trump-Russia collusion meeting, former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe.  McCabe was entrenched in Crossfire Hurricane, and it makes sense for him to lead the Trump-Russia collusion story as a cover for the prior fraudulent investigation.

Factually, everyone listed in that participation memo for their various agencies (silos) is a co-conspirator in the scheme; an intelligence operation to manufacture a false premise, a Trump-Russia collusion story.

Tulsi Gabbard deserves appreciation for her efforts on releasing these background documents. However, information without accountability should not be the objective.  Attorney General Pam Bondi needs to put some teeth into these findings.

Given the recent information provided by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, a person I respect, a lot of messages and emails flooded in.  Here’s a quick reminder for those who use CTH as a reference resource and research library for information.

 

Remember, we are inside every facility, every institution, every meeting, every moment of their existence – and we notice everything. We are there when they do not expect, and we melt away before they notice our appearance. We see what they hide, we hear what they whisper, we decipher their codes, and we understand the complexity they create in their effort to conceal. We go to the places we know they will travel.  We have allies and resources inside the core of their machinery. We understand what and why everything is being constructed, and we share all the information we discover.  The truth isn’t mean, it’s just The Truth.

The War Against Managerial Rule, Bradley C.S. Watson

The War Against Managerial Rule

By Bradley C. S. Watson

July 8, 2025

Progressive thinkers and politicians now routinely warn us of threats to “our democracy” purportedly emanating from the populist Right. But they protest too much. It is the progressives themselves who swell the ranks of the managerial elite that governs us. And as N.S. Lyons writes, “the authorities that run our societies seem to find the practice, values, and very spirit of democracy to be increasingly intolerable.” 

 

But the consensual form of government that is characteristic of the West ultimately depends on the wisdom of a demos that is awake enough to smell a rat — to know, at least, where they don’t want to go, even if they can’t quite articulate where they do. The American people have smelled the rat, but the moment they now enjoy is perishable. The elite Left has been beaten back, but it has not gone away. We should reflect on the Left’s stunning successes over a stunningly short period of time, and on what they portend.

 

Each of these successes demonstrates that, in the eyes of the Left, democracy is doing what the elite consensus demands. In recent years much has been revealed about the soul of the American people, and it will be used against them at the first opportunity. The censorship-industrial complex is now simply lying in wait. Given the stunning hubris and undeniable successes of our elites, they willalmost certainly attempt a resurgence. It will come in short order, if it’s not happening already. And for this we must be prepared. 

A Significant Geopolitical Problem for President Trump and Us, Sundance

 

A Significant Geopolitical Problem for President Trump and Us

July 10, 2025 | Sundance |



Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of a meeting of foreign ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Kuala Lumpur today. Against the backdrop of multiple questions to him about the outcome of their discussion, let us first discuss the problem being avoided.

In the mind of President Putin, and in the growing awareness of the American electorate, the President of the United States does not control the Intelligence Community. It is entirely possible for the USIC to take America deeper toward war despite the President and people of America not wanting that to happen. Putin is simply prepared for that outcome.

This reality explains a dynamic where President Trump engages with President Putin in an effort to stop the war in Ukraine, yet President Putin continues the war in Ukraine; because ultimately he knows President Trump does not control the elements that facilitate the Ukraine military.

[SIDE NOTE: Those who deny this reality are likely of a disposition that reconciled advice by those who said COVID-19 virus could attack you standing standing at a bar, but would not approach you sitting down. The COVID virus would attack you in the paint section at WalMart, but not in the grocery aisles, etc.

Every COVID-19 mitigation pronouncement was ridiculously silly, yet people not only believed it, they followed it. The non-pretending tribe did not.  For whatever reason you might attribute, the reality of that COVID-19 experience highlighted that the non-pretending tribe within American is in the minority.  The pretenders included politicians, healthcare workers, most doctors, police, law enforcement and most Americans (70% vaccinated). END NOTE]

♦ President Trump does not have control over the USIC activity in Ukraine. If he did, he would have been fully aware of the drone strikes against the Russian strategic bomber fleet before it was carried out. By his own admission he did not know.



My point is that absent of President Trump taking some action that begins the process -against the interests and advice of his protective advisors- it is going to take an external element in this dynamic to trigger a change in the situation; for better, for uglier, or for worse.
