URGENT:  FACT CHECKING Tulsi Gabbard's LIES:

Tulsi Gabbard is a lying piece of 💩. I will make sure her lies are continually called out. 

Obama did NOT request anyone “create and manufacture intelligence” in any way. There is NO EVIDENCE of this what-so-ever.

Here’s a timeline of what happened:

X. December 2016 Intel Report that Gabbard Claims Obama “covered up” is released:

This report, filled with CLASSIFIED MATERIAL from the CIA and FBI showed that Russian actors accessed voter registration and election systems across all XX states. There wasn’t evidence that they actually tampered with vote counts or machines. It also showed that Putin had a distinct preference for Trump. When Clinton looked likely to win, Russia pivoted toward undermining her; later, Russia sought to bolster Trump’s chances. Russia’s interference was deemed more aggressive, broader, and bolder, signaling a new era of foreign influence operations targeting democracies. It also found that they used cyber intrusion, via the GRU (Russian military intelligence) who hacked Democratic systems, like the DNC and Podesta emails, and released them via Guccifer XXX and WikiLeaks.

X. Gabbard then claims that Obama requested a new report that was released in January of 2017, in which he sought to “create and manufacture intelligence”.

The problem with this lie is that this report merely requested the FBI, CIA and NSA find out exactly what tools Russia used and that the report now exclude CLASSIFIED material since it was for the PUBLIC.

The report found basically the same thing as what the December report that Gabbard claims Obama “covered up,” which was that Putin ordered the operation to help Donald Trump get elected, damage Clinton and undermine public faith in the US Democratic process. It showed that Russia relied on leaked hacked material, cyber attacks, and social media trolls. It also showed that Russia preferred Trump, and once again there was no evidence of actual vote tampering.

The reason why the December report was “covered up” is because it literally had classified material in it and was only meant for senior government officials. Therefore Obama ordered the January report tailored for the public without classified material.

BOTH REPORTS found that
- Putin directed the interference effort
- Russia aimed to help Trump and hurt Clinton
- Russian cyberattacks, leaks, and propaganda efforts were used
- No evidence of vote tampering

Therefore, Gabbard's claim is that Obama covered up a highly classified report, meant for senior officials, while requesting to “manufacture” a report for the public that stated nearly the exact same thing.

She is full of 💩 and distracting from the Epstein mess, by putting out a bunch of material and creating a false narrative around it.
