While dunking on former President Barack Obama, Tulsi Gabbard also took a swing at Donald Trumps 2016 presidential campaign opponent.

National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard went full Russian asset Wednesday during a wild White House press briefing. Standing behind a White House podium, Gabbard started quoting old Russian intelligence and claimed that Moscows foreign intelligence agency SVR was in possession of high-level DNC emails that detailed evidence of Hillarys psycho-emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness. And that then-Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers.
That strange little detail came from the freshly declassified 2020 report by the House Intelligence Committee that Gabbard insists holds evidence that former President Barack Obama committed a so-called coup against Donald Trump by alleging Russian interference in the 2016 election. According to the report, ahead of Trumps ascendance to the White House, Obama asked for an Intelligence Community Assessment to review their work to date on Russias influence campaign. Gabbard claims that issues with the production of that January 2017 report are evidence that the Obama administration plotted to spread a false narrative that Russian President Vladimir Putin aspired to see Trump in the White Housea preference that the foreign autocrat readily admitted.
When asked about it Wednesday, Gabbard could not account for why Trump had not declassified these supposedly damning materials during his first term. She was also unable to provide any explanation for why Trumps secretary of state, former Florida Senator Marco Rubio, had made opposite findings when he spearheaded a 2020 Senate Intelligence Committee report. That report found that Putin had directed an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election and had done so with the intent of weakening Clintons campaign and seeing Trump elected.
Its also probably worth remembering that Trumps first-term White House was reportedly awash in speed, handing out powerful sedatives and stimulants like candy. It should come as no surprise that Gabbard is already parroting Russian intelligence because its exactly the kind of thing that concerned critics of her nominationand enthused Moscow. Gabbard has previously defended Russias incursion into Ukraine, claiming that the U.S. had provoked Russian aggression and that Ukraine housed U.S.-funded biolabs that were developing secret bioweaponsa piece of foreign state propaganda that earned her the reputation as a Russian asset.

2016 election. So now she's smearing Hillary Clinton based on DNC emails which she only has access to because THEY WERE STOLEN BY RUSSIA IN 2016?! OMG. She is really God-awful at her job.

(6,277 posts)6. Yep. Though he's liable to lie about it at this point.
But Mike Pence came out yesterday and said it's a known fact that Russia tried to meddle in the election.
