Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard doubled down at a White House press briefing Wednesday, alleging the Obama administration promoted a "contrived narrative" that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. 

"There is irrefutable evidence that details how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false," Gabbard said. "They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true. It wasn't." 

Gabbard’s comments come amid the declassification of a trove of documents from the U.S. intelligence community that allege the Obama administration politicized intelligence, and that U.S. intelligence organizations did not have direct information that Russian President Vladimir Putin sought to support Trump’s election in 2016.

"All come back to and confirm the same report: There was a gross politicization and manipulation of intelligence by the Obama administration intended to delegitimize President Trump even before he was inaugurated, ultimately usurping the will of the American people," Gabbard said.

If you don’t sign onto this alleged seditious conspiracy, you’re a problem. You’re a weak link, someone who could implode the whole scheme. President Barack Obama, whose been named as the ringleader for the Russian collusion hoax, tried to do just that to National Security Agency Director Admiral Mike Rogers a little after the 2016 election (via ABC News): 

"President Obama is considering a recommendation by Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to separate the commands of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command that could lead to the removal of Admiral Mike Rogers who heads both commands.

Rogers' potential removal as the head of the National Security Agency was first reported by the Washington Post. 

The White House, the Defense Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment on the reports. Read more, see Xs and video here.
