Obama committed ‘treasonous conspiracy’

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard dropped a political bombshell on Friday, revealing newly declassified documents that she says prove a “treasonous conspiracy directed by President Obama.”

The details: Gabbard declassified hundreds of pages of emails and government documents from the weeks between President Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory and his inauguration, which show that Obama and top intelligence officials set up the Russia collusion scandal that plagued his first term. Here’s the timeline:

🗓️ December 8: In what would have been the Presidential Daily Brief, then-DNI Director James Clapper wrote: "We assess that Russia and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results." The brief did highlight one instance in Illinois where Moscow tried, but failed to hack election systems.

  • Gabbard says, “Before it could reach the President, it was abruptly pulled “based on new guidance.” This key intelligence assessment was never published.”

🗓️ December 9: Obama met with heads of the intelligence agencies, including FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, DNI Director Clapper, and others.

  • E-mails show that following this meeting, they were directed to "produce an assessment per the President's request" that highlights the tactics Russia tried to use in 2016.

🗓️ December 9: Obama officials began leaking to the media to advance the story they concocted in their meeting with the president.

  • The Washington Post wrote: "The CIA has concluded in a secret assessment that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win the presidency."

🗓️ January 6: Two weeks before Trump took office, DNI Clapper finally published the Presidential Daily Brief that had been paused on December 8, but this time it concluded that: “Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him.”

What happened next is history. The Mueller special counsel, impeachments, years of bulls*it, hanging over Trump’s first term.

Treason: Gabbard reacted to the finding, going as far as to tell Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo that “this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama… after President Trump had already gotten elected.

It’s worth noting: As president-elect, this brief would have also gone to Donald Trump — reinforcing why Obama would not have wanted it to go out in its original form.

Trump reacts? Sort of. He hasn't said anything directly, but he did re-post several memes on Truth Social, including one AI-generated video of Obama being arrested with YMCA music playing.

TLDR: U.S. intel agencies first found no Russian impact on the 2016 election. After an Obama-led meeting, the assessment was revised to say Moscow helped Trump—triggering three years of investigations that dogged his presidency.

What happens next? Gabbard said: “There must be indictments. Those responsible, no matter how powerful… they all must be held accountable” and referred it to the Department of Justice.

Trump DOJ files motion to unseal Epstein docs

The Department of Justice has formally requested the unsealing of grand jury transcripts related to Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell – citing “extensive public interest.”

The details: In two motions filed in the Southern District of New York, Deputy AG Todd Blanche, acting on orders from Attorney General Pam Bondi, called for the release of grand jury materials tied to both Epstein and Maxwell.

  • The DOJ emphasized that all victim-related or personal identifying information would be redacted before public release.

  • The DOJ said: “Transparency to the American public is of the utmost importance.”

Back up: The motion follows public blowback against a July 6 DOJ-FBI memo concluding that Epstein had no client list, had not blackmailed public figures, and died by suicide.

Trump steps in: After a week of fallout from his own base of supporters, Trump took to Truth Social to say:

  • “Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval. This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!”

What’s next: The court will review the request. Bondi vowed the administration would comply with legal standards while ensuring public disclosure.

A few months ago, I was at a butcher in my neighborhood and saw a diagram of a cow, with all the cuts of meat labeled. And that gave me an idea for a t-shirt:

DOGE Butcher Shop — but instead of the cow, we use a pig. And the cuts of meat in the diagram represent all the waste, fraud, and abuse being butchered by the Trump admin.

Over the last few weeks, I worked with a really talented graphic designer who brought it to life. And on Friday I got a sample in the mail and I’m happy to say, it came out better than I’d hoped.

Also, my wife told me I had to mention that the t-shirt it’s printed on is Comfort Colors. Apparently, they’re well-known for high-quality materials. I just chose them because they are printed in the U.S. and made with 100 U.S. cotton.
