President Barack Obama has sought to distance himself from the Russiagate scandal, but evidence — including records of key meetings he attended and an unambiguous directive he issued — puts him at the heart of some of the bogus Trump-Russia claims.
The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said Wednesday that “there were a lot of people involved, and it goes all the way up to President Obama.” Rep. Rick Crawford, R-Ark., who leads the important intelligence oversight panel, told Just the News, No Noise that Obama cannot be allowed to avoid responsibility: “He can’t plead ignorance. He can’t play the plausible deniability card. He was intimately involved in this and authorized it.”
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Friday issued a press release stating that her office had “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.”
