It’s 3am here but Matt Taibbi has yet again misread a (politicized) doc release to claim it says something it doesn’t. He’s so blinded by a desire to exonerate Russia/be right that he’s become functionally illiterate. My article explaining his prior fuckup:www.lawfaremedia.org/article/retc...

Now Tulsi has jumped on the “Russiagate” doc-release bandwagon. She has begun to regularly BS releases where she claims docs say one thing but reading them shows another. Here she is taking an assessment about HACKING VOTING MACHINES, claiming it means 🇷🇺 did nothing. Pay attention to how they lie.
New Evidence of Obama Administration
Conspiracy to Subvert President Trump's 2016
Victory and Presidency
WASHINGTON, D.C. - On Friday, Director of
National Intelligence (DNi) Tulsi Gabbard revealed overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how, after President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.
• In the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the Intelligence Community (IC) consistently assessed that Russia is
"probably not trying ... to influence the election by using cyber means."
• On December 7, 2016, after the election, talking points were prepared for DNI James Clapper stating, "Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome."
• On December 9, 2016, President Obama's
White House gathered top National Security Council Principals for a meeting that included James Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe and others, to discuss Russia.
After months of investigation into this matter, the facts reveal this new assessment was based on information that was known by those involved to be manufactured i.e. the Steele Dossier or deemed as not credible. This was politicized intelligence that was used as the basis for countless smears seeking to delegitimize President Trump's victory, the years-long Mueller investigation, two Congressional impeachments, high level officials being
investigated, arrested, and thrown in jail, heightened US-Russia tensions, and more.
"The issue I am raising is not a partisan issue. It is one that concerns every American. The information we are releasing today clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government. Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people," said DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
"Their egregious abuse of power and blatant rejection of our Constitution threatens the very foundation and integrity of our democratic republic. No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to ensure nothing like this ever happens again.
The American people's faith and trust in our

Taibbi is echoing this and implying it means the HACK & LEAK operation etc. The right wing propaganda machine is claiming it’s a coup, a conspiracy, treasonous. Russia interfered in the 2016, 2018, and 2020 elections. In the US. Elsewhere. It’s not hard. This spin is becoming another Big Lie.
Note on New Trump-Russia Disclosures
Thanks to explosive new document releases, the Russiagate hoax is now exposed, commencing a new era that will be about accountability for the guilty

The new documents released by
@TulsiGabbard leave no doubt - none - that the @BarackObama White House invented a phony espionage scandal to hang on the incoming Trump administration. The sole question is, why? What idiot thought this would work, that it was a good idea?
