To me, the strangest part of the recent release of documents confirming the involvement of former President Barack Obama and his national security team in essentially cooking up an Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that served as the foundation for years of investigations and false accusations against President Donald Trump is how numb so many are to the significance of it. As our Bob Hoge rightly notes:
We’ve been reading about it for years, listened to countless segments on cable news and talk radio, and yet in a way, some people have almost become inured to it. Nothing will ever happen, they say. No one will ever be held to account.
It does rather feel like that. And yet, perhaps the time has come, and we are about to see some accountability after all. Perhaps. According to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, this isn’t just about newly disclosed documents. There are now Intelligence Community whistleblowers coming forward, too.
Gabbard has been making the rounds on the cable news shows since the document disclosure on Friday. She spoke with Sean Hannity on his show Friday evening, and again on “Fox and Friends” Saturday. On Sunday, Gabbard joined “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo to discuss the disclosure and what we can expect going forward.
The full episode may be viewed here, but here are some highlights, beginning with Gabbard reiterating the big picture implications of what occurred:
CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NPR, ABC, NYT, WAPO, etc…. crickets.
Wait for the crocodile tears and faux outrage, soon to come.
DC is so corrupt that the federal government should take it over.
