Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard said Wednesday on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” that she couldn’t have gotten past the “deep state obstacles” to release files exposing the Russiagate hoax without a whistleblower coming forward to provide “critical pieces” to the story.
On Friday, Gabbard released newly declassified documents regarding allegations that President Donald Trump’s first campaign colluded with Russia to sway the 2016 election in his favor. While discussing the files with Fox’s Jesse Watters, the host asked Gabbard how she found evidence showing former President Barack Obama and his national security team “manufactured and politicized intelligence” in the Russia hoax.
“This was obviously important to President Trump, but, again, is an issue of importance to every single American in this country and the future of our country as a republic. So shortly after coming into this position as Director of National Intelligence, I formed a special team to investigate this issue. I’ve got to tell you, it wasn’t easy,” Gabbard said. “There were a lot of deep state obstacles that exist still within the intelligence community.”
