Back in the day, the Obama administration was infamous for doing Friday afternoon “news dumps” in order to release unfavorable news regarding the administration at a time when most people had logged off for the weekend and weren’t paying attention. The hope, of course, being that any backlash resulting from the Friday afternoon or evening releases would have subsided by Monday morning. The media, unsurprisingly, was usually happy to play along.
Well, the Trump administration is getting in on the action with their own Friday afternoon document dump—and their dump also does not reflect well on Barack Obama and his administration. The documents in question are newly-declassified materials released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard showing how deeply involved Obama and members of his administration were in helping to devise and perpetuate the Russia collusion hoax against Donald Trump.
A clearly-irate Gabbard took to X Friday afternoon to detail what was found in the documents—i.e., Obama & co. made the whole thing up—and what she plans to do with the information.
GABBARD: Americans will finally learn the truth about how in 2016, intelligence was politicized and weaponized by the most powerful people in the Obama Administration to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President @realDonaldTrump, subverting the will of the American people and undermining our democratic republic.
