Attorney General Bondi Vows Thorough Investigation into Alleged Intelligence Community Misconduct
The Department of Justice has announced the creation of a dedicated Strike Force to evaluate evidence recently released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), led by Director Tulsi Gabbard. The Strike Force will focus on assessing the implications of these disclosures and determining potential legal actions that may follow.
The formation of the Strike Force underscores the Justice Department’s commitment to addressing concerns about the alleged weaponization of the intelligence community, which it considers a matter of utmost importance.
Attorney General Pamela Bondi emphasized the department’s resolve, stating, “The Department of Justice is proud to work with my friend Director Gabbard, and we are grateful for her partnership in delivering accountability for the American people. We will investigate these troubling disclosures fully and leave no stone unturned to deliver justice.”
The Strike Force will conduct a thorough investigation into the evidence publicized by the ODNI, ensuring a comprehensive review to uphold transparency and accountability.
Key findings from Gabbard include:
- 1) Suppression of Contradictory Evidence: The ICA omitted reliable intelligence that Russian officials were preparing for a Clinton victory and had no intent to influence the election outcome in Trump’s favor.
- 2) Use of the Steele Dossier: Despite public denials, the dossier was incorporated into the ICA’s main text and a two-page annex, even though Brennan knew it was unverified and discredited.
- 3) Unusual Directives: On December 9, 2016, following a National Security Council meeting, Obama’s team tasked the intelligence community with creating the ICA, bypassing standard procedures and relying on substandard reporting.
- 4) Media Collusion: The Obama administration allegedly worked with media outlets to propagate the Russia hoax, leading to years of false narratives that smeared Trump and his associates, including Donald Trump Jr.
Gabbard and the White House assert that these actions constitute a “treasonous conspiracy” to subvert the will of the American people, who elected Trump in November 2016. The report suggests Obama’s intent was to delegitimize Trump’s presidency, launching a “years-long coup” that consumed political capital, fueled impeachments, and divided the nation. When questioned about potential criminal implications, Gabbard referred the matter to the Department of Justice and FBI, stating, “The evidence directly points to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment.”
