The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Obama Faked Trump-Russia Narrative and Almost Got Away With It

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed documents this week that could upend the entire narrative of the so-called “Russian Collusion” scandal:


New intelligence originally sourced from Dutch agencies shows U.S. officials knew there was no evidence of collusion between Donald Trump and Russia as early as 2016.


Why did Obama-era intelligence leaders like John Brennan, James Clapper, and possibly James Comey continue pushing the hoax? And did President Barack Obama himself ignore briefings that contradicted the false narrative? Victor Davis Hanson breaks it all down on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”


“ Now, what's Tulsi Gabbard upset about? That was known to John Brennan. That was known to James Clapper. That was probably known to the FBI. But they have notes, they have information that when they prepared this digest daily, weekly digest of intelligence updates to lame-duck Barack Obama in 2016 and into 2017, he ignored it. He did not want to hear that. He wanted more information pertaining to Donald Trump and the Russians colluding. It was almost like, you find me the crime and I'll give you the criminal.


“ Is it serious? If it's credible, then you have a conspiracy of the top people in the United States intelligence and investigative communities conspiring with a sitting president of the United States to destroy the administration of his opponent, successor, Donald J. Trump.”

1A - ICYMI: Trump’s Use Of Legal Action Against The Media

President Donald Trump is suing the publisher and owner of the Wall Street Journal and seeking damages of $10 billion for defamation.

Last week, the paper published an article describing a letter Trump sent to disgraced, self-styled financier Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003. That letter reportedly included a lewd drawing. The president says — without evidence — that he didn't write the letter. The Journal's publisher says they will defend against the lawsuit.

In a post on Truth Social, the president wrote the lawsuit was filed "not only on behalf of your favorite President, ME, but also in order to continue standing up for ALL Americans who will no longer tolerate the abusive wrongdoings of the Fake News Media."

We discuss the president's legal action — and the threat of it — against the media.
