US National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard launched a new attack on former President Barack Obama this week, alleging that he conspired to undermine Trump’s 2016 presidential victory by using false intelligence purporting to show Russian interference in Trump’s favour.

The U.S. intelligence community in 2017 said Russia had interfered in the 2016 U.S. election and sought to hurt Clinton while trying to help Trump.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) compared the December 2016 date of former President Barack Obama’s meeting with National Security Council officials to Pearl Harbor, saying that day “will live in infamy” because of the Democratic administration’s alleged subversion of President Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory over Russian election interference.

The administration’s claims are overblown, but newly declassified information provides some messy details about a January 2017 intelligence assessment of Moscow’s election interference.

Current DNI Tulsi Gabbard sent a criminal referral to Attorney General Pam Bondi Friday raising the possibility the 44th president broke the law by undermining Trump’s victory in 2016.

Attorney Andy McCarthy claims Obama is deeply complicit in Russiagate revealed by DNI Gabbard, but notes prosecution is unlikely due to statute limitations and immunity.

Donald Trump’s intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard ranted about a “coup” supposedly launched by Barack Obama at a White House briefing on Wednesday as the Trump administration returns to the “Russiagate” investigation as a lifeline for an embattled president.
