Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard jumped on Fox News to fire back at former President Barack Obama over his part in the Russiagate scandal.
Gabbard took a flamethrower to Obama’s response to the “bizarre allegations” being made against him by the Trump administration. The former president threw out insults, calling the claims a “distraction” and backing the intelligence work that is currently coming into question.

BREAKING: DNI Tulsi Gabbard just FIRED BACK at Barack Hussein Obama saying the Trump-Russia conspiracy allegations against him are “a weak attempt at distraction”

“They’re doing the exact same thing that people like Senator Warner were doing. He was the head of the intelligence community at the time, they would have to admit and actually address the details of their complicity in this, or their absolute failure in conducting the most basic responsibilities of, again, asking ‘Where is this intelligence coming from? What are the sources? What proof do you have of this high-confidence assessment’” Gabbard explained. “Remember, John Brennan and James Clapper at the time, and James Comey, had high confidence that Russia aspired to help Donald Trump win the election in 2016, when there was NO credible intelligence that actually reported that!”
“The treasonous conspiracy that we have now released to the American people. The complicity, the deflection, and the silence of politicians, of the mainstream media, and of those directly implicated into this speaks volumes.” she said later.
Obama’s statement decried the amount of attention being paid to these allegations:
“These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction,” the former president’s spokesman said. “Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes.”
“These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.”
X users supported Gabbard and encouraged her to keep digging into this issue:
Go Tulsi go!!! Don’t let them off the hook, accountability matters

Finally someone breaking the silence on this mess. Too many ‘high confidence’ claims with no proof. Gabbard’s not holding back, and that’s refreshing.

Keep going, Tulsi! Don’t let those be memory holed!

Tulsi just torched the Obama-era lies with facts and fire. No more hiding behind “high confidence” BS—truth’s out, and it’s brutal. Keep going, Tulsi.
