Obama shuffled out spox lackey to take incoming on treason bombshell that has Democrats in full retreat
Barack Obama’s political world just came crashing down around him.
The former President thought he could hide behind presidential decorum forever.
And now Obama has just shuffled out a spox lackey to take incoming on the treason bombshell that has Democrats in full retreat.
Obama scrambles for damage control after explosive intelligence revelations
Former President Barack Obama’s office broke its usual silence Tuesday night after President Donald Trump dropped a political earthquake that sent shockwaves through Washington, D.C.
Trump didn’t mince words when he accused Obama and key members of his administration of committing "treason" over what intelligence sources now confirm was the deliberate manufacturing of intelligence regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The carefully worded statement from Obama’s office reeked of desperation as his team scrambled to contain the political fallout.
"Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response," Obama’s office said in a statement that couldn’t hide their panic. "But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction."

Notice how Obama’s team immediately attacked the messenger rather than addressing the substance of the explosive revelations.
They know the documents don’t lie.
Gabbard’s bombshell report exposes years-long conspiracy
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard dropped a political bombshell Friday when she declassified documents revealing what she called "overwhelming evidence" of a coordinated conspiracy at the highest levels of government.
The evidence paints a damning picture of how Obama and his national security team manufactured intelligence to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election — despite their own intelligence community stating otherwise.
"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," Gabbard stated. "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."¹
The declassified documents reveal a stunning timeline of deception that began immediately after Trump’s shocking victory over Hillary Clinton.
In the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the Intelligence Community consistently assessed that Russia was "probably not trying to influence the election by using cyber means."
But that all changed after Trump won.
On December 7, 2016 — just one month after the election — talking points were prepared for then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper stating clearly that "Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome."²
Two days later, on December 9, 2016, Obama gathered his top National Security Council Principals for what documents now reveal was a conspiracy meeting that included Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, and Secretary of State John Kerry.
The smoking gun documents tell the whole story
What happened next reads like something out of a political thriller.
Obama officials began leaking false statements to media outlets, including The Washington Post, claiming that "Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election."
Then came the pièce de résistance — the January 6, 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment that directly contradicted six months of previous IC assessments.
Gabbard’s investigation reveals this assessment was based on information that officials knew was manufactured — including the infamous Steele Dossier — or deemed 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 declassified documents state.³
The conspiracy involved some of the biggest names in Obama’s inner circle: former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe.
When Fox News Digital reached out to Obama, Clapper, Comey, Brennan, Rice, Lynch and McCabe for comment, not one of them responded.
Trump calls Obama "the leader of the gang"
Speaking from the Oval Office Tuesday, President Trump didn’t hold back when describing Obama’s role in what he called "the crime of the century."
"He’s the leader of the gang," Trump said about Obama. "He’s guilty . . . This was treason."⁴
Trump revealed that the very room where he was speaking — the Oval Office — was where Obama and his conspirators allegedly devised their plan to overturn the will of the American people.
"After what they did to me — right or wrong — it’s time to go after people," Trump declared.
The President’s remarks came as Gabbard formally submitted evidence to the Justice Department for possible criminal referrals against Obama and his co-conspirators.
This represents a stunning reversal of fortune for Obama, who has spent years positioning himself as the adult in the room while attacking Trump’s character and fitness for office.
Democrats circle the wagons with tired talking points
Obama’s statement desperately tried to deflect by referencing Marco Rubio’s 2020 Senate Intelligence Committee report, claiming it affirmed "the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes."
But that misses the entire point.
The issue isn’t whether Russia engaged in typical foreign influence operations — every major power does that during American elections.
The scandal is that Obama’s team knew their own intelligence didn’t support the narrative they were pushing, yet they manufactured evidence anyway to justify a years-long campaign to destroy Trump’s presidency.
Democrat Representative Jim Himes immediately went into damage control mode, calling Gabbard’s accusations "baseless" and claiming the intelligence leaders "took an oath to the Constitution, not President Trump."
Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Mark Warner tried the same tired playbook, accusing Gabbard of "weaponizing her position to amplify the president’s election conspiracy theories."
These desperate responses tell you everything you need to know about how rattled Democrats are by these revelations.
The tables have turned on the Russia hoax architects
For eight years, Democrats and their media allies weaponized the Russia investigation to delegitimize Trump’s presidency and poison American politics.
They destroyed careers, bankrupted families, and divided the country — all based on what they knew was manufactured intelligence.
Now the architects of this conspiracy are facing the very accountability they spent years trying to avoid.
Obama’s carefully crafted image as the scandal-free president is crumbling as Americans finally learn the truth about what happened in those final weeks of his presidency.
The man who lectured Americans about our democracy and constitutional norms stands accused of orchestrating the most serious attack on American democracy in modern history.
Trump was right when he called it "the crime of the century."
And after years of being told this was all a conspiracy theory, Americans are finally getting the documented proof they deserve.
The only question now is whether anyone will be held accountable for this unprecedented abuse of power.
Or will Obama and his conspirators escape justice once again?
