Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents showing what she labels “overwhelming evidence” of former President Barack Obama and his national security team basically creating intelligence about Russia attempting to influence the 2016 election.
“It was manufactured intelligence that sought to achieve President Obama and his team’s objective which was undermining President Trump’s presidency and subverting the will of the American people,” she told Fox’s Maria Bartiromo.

Gabbard called the act a treasonous conspiracy. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is troubled, too.
“Well, I don’t know how to summarize it by way of description and a snappy phrase, but I will tell you, it is deeply problematic,” he told CBN News.
Johnson added, “We recognize that the people who are being called out now were involved in a scheme. We knew that it was a shameless, false set of accusations, and yet they perpetuated the lie on the American people. And they looked right into the camera and just lied clearly, and they knew what they were up to the whole time. So there must be accountability for that.”
When asked what role Congress will play in prosecuting key players for this manufactured intel, including former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) John Brennan or former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper, or even Obama himself, Johnson says he is willing to hold people accountable for their actions.

“Of course. Look, I think we have a responsibility to follow the truth where it leads,” he explained. “And I do expect that whether there’s a special counsel appointed, which some are suggesting, and or in conjunction with the house investigations, that we will get the answers and there will be accountability to the extent that we’re able to do that, referring people to the DOJ for prosecution and any other measure that is appropriate as we begin to uncover more of the facts.”
