The timing of the ODNI document releases Gabbard is sharing has definitely sparked debate, especially since they dropped while frustration and criticism over the Epstein files were at a high.
Some commentators and social media users are openly suggesting the document releases could be a deliberate move to pull public attention away from the lack of new revelations in the Epstein disclosures and instead focus scrutiny on claims of wrongdoing under the Obama administration.
Gabbard and her supporters see the documents as exposing a "treasonous conspiracy" that could be bigger than the Epstein scandal, but Democrats and some outside analysts have dismissed the new claims as an attempt at political deflection, given the unfulfilled promises around the Epstein files and the continued public demand for accountability on that front.
So while both stories are big in their own ways—with one alleging deeply serious national security manipulation, and the other involving elite networks and criminal wrongdoing—the overlap in timing has led many people to see the intelligence releases as at least partly a strategic diversion from the ongoing Epstein controversy.
