Never earlier successful American history has a departing president connived to sabotage and destruct nan man who would switch him. 

Newly revealed documents show that successful 2016 then-President Barack Obama and his nationalist information squad "manufactured and politicized" phony intelligence to thief framework Donald Trump arsenic a Russian plus erstwhile they knew it was untrue.  

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard who unearthed and released nan declassified documents connected Friday described it arsenic an "egregious maltreatment of power" that amounts to a "treasonous conspiracy."

OBAMA OFFICIALS USED DOSSIER TO PROBE, BRIEF TRUMP DESPITE KNOWING IT WAS UNVERIFIED 'INTERNET RUMOR'

Treason is simply a beardown word pinch an exceedingly precocious ineligible standard. So, too, is seditious conspiracy. The usage of unit aliases unit is often a cardinal constituent for both.  

Closer to nan people are different superior crimes. They see conspiracy to defraud nan authorities and deprivation of authorities nether nan colour of law. That is, utilizing knowingly mendacious aliases fabricated grounds to support a lawsuit against Trump and to obstruct aliases impair a lawful authorities usability specified arsenic an election.

Not surprisingly, nan genesis of nan crippled began pinch Hillary Clinton. On July 26, 2016, she allegedly approved an illicit strategy to sully her governmental force for colluding pinch Russia to rig nan upcoming statesmanlike election. The bogus smear was intended to distract from her ain burgeoning email scandal. Hillary’s run commissioned and funded a dossier that was small much than a postulation of lies supplied by Clinton confederates.   

The CIA discovered what Hillary had done and instantly alerted nan Obama White House. In 2 successive meetings connected July 28 and Aug. 3, 2016, then-CIA Director John Brennan briefed nan president and different apical officials, including Vice President Joe Biden, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and FBI Director James Comey.  

Brennan’s handwritten notes from nan Situation Room show really he recounted Clinton’s scheme "to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a ungraded claiming interference by nan Russian information service." From that constituent on, it was a intimately guarded secret.

It was each a hoax, and nan above-named participants good knew it. Yet, nary of them had nan integrity to measurement guardant to show either Congress aliases nan American group nan truth.  

Instead, they watched successful soundlessness arsenic Comey and his FBI acolytes launched a dilating investigation of Trump dubbed "Crossfire Hurricane." They shamelessly weaponized their authority and contorted nan rule to persecute Trump. As planned, nan clone collusion communicative was leaked to nan Trump-hating media.  

Almost from nan outset, nan FBI had debunked nan dossier and later fired its author, Christopher Steele, for lying. The ex-British spy had been a paid root for nan FBI. By concealing this captious information, Comey sought and obtained surveillance warrants from nan FISA tribunal connected a Trump run associate, Carter Page. No grounds of wrongdoing was ever discovered because nary existed.  

When nan Russia hoax grounded to forestall Trump from winning nan presidency, nan aforesaid malevolent adversaries doubled down connected nan Clinton-inspired scheme.  

The caller documents released by Gabbard show that a Dec. 8, 2016 draught of nan President’s Daily Briefing (PDB) assessed that "Russian and criminal actors did not effect caller US predetermination results by conducting malicious cyber activities against predetermination infrastructure."  

But that conclusion, compiled by apical intelligence agencies, did not conform to nan Trump collusion narrative. Comey and others apparently scuttled nan PDB and concocted an replacement plan.

The adjacent day, Dec. 9, Obama convened prime furniture officials, on pinch Clapper, Brennan, and FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. A caller Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) was ordered that would undermine nan PDB and perpetuate nan Trump-Russia collusion fiction.  

The replacement communicative would declare that Russia intervened successful nan 2016 predetermination to thief Trump triumph nan presidency. It didn’t look to matter that it was not true.   

Brennan and Comey ensured that nan discredited dossier was incorporated successful nan ICA, which was rushed to completion earlier nan caller president took office. Why nan urgency?  So that Comey could usage it to entrap Trump into a mendacious confession earlier his inauguration.  

On Jan. 6, 2017, nan FBI head traveled to Trump Tower equipped pinch nan ICA that deceptively alleged Russian interference successful nan run and besides confronted nan president-elect pinch salacious accusations successful nan dossier that nan bureau knew were untrue. Comey’s unscrupulous gambit grounded erstwhile Trump vigorously denied nan allegations arsenic utterly preposterous, which they were. 

Meanwhile, location is still much damning grounds that must beryllium declassified —some of it sealed for astir a decade and buried successful nan bowels of nan FBI and different intel agencies.

None of that deterred Comey and his minions astatine nan FBI. They escalated their investigation of Trump and propagated nan collusion lie. Clapper leaked nan dossier to CNN, arsenic reporters and pundits spent nan adjacent twelvemonth happily convicting nan caller president successful nan tribunal of nationalist sentiment without a shred of plausible evidence.  

When Comey was yet fired, he purloined FBI documents connected his measurement retired nan doorway and promptly leaked them to a friend successful nan media to trigger nan assignment of a typical counsel who conscionable happened to beryllium his erstwhile workfellow and mentor, Robert Mueller. In nan end, of course, Mueller and his squad of partisans —try arsenic they may— could find nary grounds of a criminal collusion conspiracy.  

Those of america who reasonably and honestly covered nan faux ungraded knew it each along.  In my 2018 book titled The Russia Hoax, I wrote connected page 1 that "there was not a whiff of reliable grounds to legally warrant nan probe" initiated by Comey. I described it arsenic "a clever feint for a covert criminal investigation successful hunt of a crime, reversing and bastardizing nan ineligible process." I laid retired nan facts which still clasp existent today.  

In my follow-up book nan adjacent year, Witch Hunt, I offered much incriminating specifications of precisely really malign actors aspired and conspired to evict Trump from office: "Evidence against him was invented aliases embellished. Laws were perverted aliases ignored. Trump was framed for a ‘collusion’ conspiracy that had ne'er existed. They knew it was untrue."  

The recently constituted FBI has already opened a criminal investigation of Brennan and Comey. That is simply a bully start. But they were not nan only ones who should beryllium held to account. The database is simply a agelong one, and it goes correct to nan apical —Obama and Clinton. 

It started pinch nan collusion hoax, but it didn’t extremity there. Trump appears to person been nan unfortunate of an ongoing criminal conspiracy that stretched for astir a decade. It yet evolved into nan specious prosecutions brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith that were engineered by nan Biden management and simultaneous coverups of suspected illegality by nan Biden family, galore of whom received preemptive pardons.

On that basis, nan FBI is reportedly examining nan anticipation of bringing a "grand conspiracy" case that would encompass galore of nan above-noted acts that were intended to unduly power 3 statesmanlike elections, 2016, 2020, and 2024.

The advantage of adopting this ineligible avenue is two-fold. First, it would widen immoderate expired statute of limitations to nan day of much caller overt acts specified arsenic nan ambush connected Mar-a-Lago and events thereafter. Second, it would let immoderate prosecutions to beryllium brought successful a venue different than Washington, D.C., wherever nan endemic bias of jurors make it astir intolerable to summation convictions.    

Meanwhile, location is still much damning grounds that must beryllium declassified —some of it sealed for astir a decade and buried successful nan bowels of nan FBI and different intel agencies. But moreover without it, location is small uncertainty that apical officials astatine nan FBI, CIA, Department of Justice and nan White House abused their authority for governmental purposes. Armed pinch immense powerfulness and often lurking successful nan shadows, they were tin of uncommon corruption.

Their allegiance was not to nan Constitution and nan norm of rule but to themselves. Personal animus and a voracious appetite for power motivated their zeal. Trump was their obstacle. He jeopardized their clasp connected power, truthful they schemed to destruct him by immoderate intends and astatine immoderate cost. 

The only cure for lies is nan truth. And nan only remedy for lawlessness is justice. The pursuit of what is correct depends connected some principles.
