The Rotten Core of a Manufactured Scandal

Did former President Barack Obama play a role in the fabrication of the Russia collusion narrative? According to National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard—once a rising star within the Democratic Party and now a gadfly for political truth—the answer is unequivocally yes. More than that, Gabbard suggests the Obama administration orchestrated a “treasonous conspiracy” in 2016, one that weaponized the intelligence community and buried exculpatory findings that contradicted their desired political outcome.
Let us not pretend this charge is light. A “treasonous conspiracy” suggests not merely malfeasance but a betrayal of the public trust at the highest levels of government. If these allegations are true—and the declassified documents and testimonies increasingly suggest they are—then we are dealing with one of the most corrosive abuses of power in American history. And yet, predictably, the usual suspects in the Democratic Party and their allies in corporate media have denounced these revelations not with evidence but with noise.
Men like Sen. Adam Schiff, the architect and chief propagandist of the Russia hoax, have long enjoyed the luxury of consequence-free deception. Schiff assured the nation, repeatedly and confidently, that he had “direct evidence” of collusion between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government. No such evidence ever materialized. None. Instead, what we received was a yearslong investigation—one that disrupted a presidency, undermined international credibility, and cost the American taxpayers tens of millions of dollars—only to conclude there was no collusion.
