Declassified Docs Show Obama Admin Fabricated Russia Probe Intelligence

Newly declassified documents reveal that the Obama administration, including President Barack Obama and top intelligence officials, deliberately manipulated intelligence to fabricate claims of Russian interference favoring Donald Trump in the 2016 election. These documents, declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, show that U.S. intelligence agencies initially assessed Russia was unlikely to influence the election outcome through cyber means, but this evidence was ignored to create a false narrative supporting the Trump-Russia collusion theory. The manufactured intelligence led to a prolonged special counsel investigation, wasteful expenditures, and damaged U.S. foreign policy, while undermining the democratic transition of power. The revelations have sparked calls for accountability, with some characterizing the scandal as more severe than Watergate and suggesting possible DOJ prosecutions. Despite this, public belief in the collusion narrative remains significant among Democrats and moderates, as noted in recent polls. The controversy highlights deep partisan divisions and concerns over the politicization of intelligence in U.S. democracy.
