The Obama politics of fraud
The Department of Justice announced on Wednesday the creation of a so-called strike force to investigate allegations advanced by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that former President Barack Obama and members of his administration led a “treasonous” conspiracy to promote the false claim that Trump colluded with Russia to rig the 2016 election.
The task force announcement came hours after Gabbard released a previously classified House Intelligence Committee report that said the conclusion that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s was interested in aiding Trump was based on “one scant, unclear, and unverifiable fragment of a sentence from one of the substandard reports.”
The DOJ strike force will assess the legal options it can take in response to the “alleged weaponization of the intelligence community.”

While Gabbard and other Trump officials have cast the newly declassified report as a significant development in their efforts to expose wrongdoing, many of the the report’s conclusions have come to light in the years since it was drafted. The report, which was drafted in 2017 but edited through 2020, confirms that then-CIA Director John Brennan pushed five handpicked analysts to rush out an Intelligence Community Assessment concluding that Russian President Vladimir Putin had a clear preference for Trump over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, and intervened in the election to secure that outcome.
Several of the analysts pushed back on Brennan, according to the report, pointing out that they lacked evidence to support the claim that Putin had a clear preference for Trump, but Brennan urged them on anyway.

There was literally no evidence to support the bogus allegations against Trump. In hindsight, it looks like a Democrat smear campaign against Trump.

... “We had to take this story seriously for years, and it was false,” Gutfeld said. “When Trump won in 2016, the intel community concluded that Russia didn’t have a hand in his victory. Instead of accepting the conclusion, Obama determined — and wanted — a new conclusion.”
Gutfeld laid the blame squarely at the feet of the Obama administration and its allies in the media. “He sent Brennan running to come up with a new collusion — that there was some kind of trivial involvement they could feed out to the media,” he explained. “And coincidentally, dozens of news organizations said that Trump was in bed with Putin… There was no proof.”

JUST IN: DOJ Launches Russiagate ‘Strike Force’ As Obama Probe Heats Up
The U.S. Justice Department has launched a “strike force” to investigate whether enough evidence exists to charge former President Barack Obama over his alleged involvement in the Russiagate hoax, according to insiders close to the newly formed group.
Reviewing declassified documents released Wednesday will be the strike force’s first task and comes after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused the 44th president of “weaponizing” the U.S. intelligence community to damage President Donald Trump’s election prospects.
Much of the government’s investigation is believed to have taken place in the months following Trump’s 2016 election win.
Some of the intelligence contained in the report was “manufactured” by top officials in the outgoing Obama administration, the DOJ stated in announcing the launch of the strike force. Another official told Fox News the DOJ takes the allegations against Obama with “the utmost seriousness.”
