Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused Barack Obama of planning intelligence related to Russian interference in the 2016 election. As the Trump administration suffers from a huge blowback over the Epstein episode and Gabbard apparently lost her footing in the administration over the Iran nuclear issue, the new claims aim to strengthen both — the administration and Gabbard. Gabbard called for the prosecution of Barack Obama and former senior US national security officials — triggering major outrage.

Obama coup: What Tulsi Gabbard revealed

Gabard disclosed that Obama planned the groundwork for a years-long coup against Trump after he won the 2016 election. The Obama administration manufactured intelligence to suggest that Russia tried to influence the election. Gabbard announced that she was passing documents supporting her case to the DOJ. The documents include a partially redacted intelligence community assessment from the Obama administration on cyber threats to the 2016 election and a series of previously classified memos, including some from the office of James Clapper, who served as Obama’s director of national intelligence.Others include John Brennan, the former CIA director, John Kerry, the then secretary of state, Susan Rice, the national security adviser at the time, Andrew McCabe, the then deputy FBI director, who later fell foul of Trump, and Obama himself.Trump’s former NSA General Mike Flynn said Obama and select members of his cabinet need to go to jail. “We don’t need a years long investigation. A decision made based on saving our national security alone is sufficient,” Flynn posted. “I’m hearing that we can’t put Obama in handcuffs because that might cause civil unrest. But wait! Democrats didn’t hesitate to drop 90+ charges on Trump. They were ready to lock him up for life, and deal with the ensuing civil unrest. Besides, ‘No one is above the law’,” MAGA commentator Dinesh D’Souza posted.
