EXCLUSIVE: The Obama administration "manufactured and politicized intelligence" to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise, Fox News Digital has learned.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Friday declassified documents revealing "overwhelming evidence" that demonstrates how, after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the yearslong Trump–Russia collusion probe.

FBI LAUNCHES CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS OF JOHN BRENNAN, JAMES COMEY: DOJ SOURCES

Documents revealed that in the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the intelligence community consistently a*sessed that Russia was "probably not trying…to influence the election by using cyber means."

One instance was on Dec. 7, 2016, weeks after the election, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper’s talking points stated: "Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the U.S. presidential election outcome."

Fox News Digital obtained a declassified copy of the Presidential Daily Brief, which was prepared by the Department of Homeland Security, with reporting from the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, FBI, National Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security, State Department and open sources, for Obama, dated Dec. 8, 2016.

"We a*sess that Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure," the Presidential Daily Brief stated. "Russian Government-affiliated actors most likely compromised an Illinois voter registration database and unsuccessfully attempted the same in other states."

But the brief stated that it was "highly unlikely" the effort "would have resulted in altering any state’s official vote result."

"Criminal activity also failed to reach the scale and sophistication necessary to change election outcomes," it stated.


The brief noted that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence a*sessed that any Russian activities "probably were intended to cause psychological effects, such as undermining the credibility of the election process and candidates."

The brief stated that cyber criminals "tried to steal data and to interrupt election processes by targeting election infrastructure, but these actions did not achieve a notable disruptive effect."

Fox News Digital obtained declassified, but redacted, communications from the FBI on the Presidential Daily Brief, stating that it "should not go forward until the FBI" had shared its "concerns."

The following day, Dec. 9, 2016, a meeting convened in the White House Situation Room, with the subject line starting: "Summary of Conclusions for PC Meeting on a Sensitive Topic (REDACTED.)"

WHITE HOUSE WANTS OBAMA INTEL OFFICIALS 'HELD ACCOUNTABLE' FOR ROLE PEDDLING 2016 RUSSIA HOAX

The meeting included top officials in the National Security Council, Clapper, then-CIA Director John Brennan, then-National Security Advisor Susan Rice, then-Secretary of State John Kerry, then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch, then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, among others, to discuss Russia.

The declassified meeting record, obtained by Fox News Digital, revealed that principals "agreed to recommend sanctioning of certain members of the Russian military intelligence and foreign intelligence chains of command responsible for cyber operations as a response to cyber activity that attempted to influence or interfere with U.S. elections, if such activity meets the requirements" from an executive order that demanded the blocking of property belonging to people engaged in cyber activities.

After the meeting, according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Clapper’s executive a*sistant emailed intelligence community leaders tasking them to create a new intelligence community a*sessment "per the president’s request," that detailed the "tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election."

"ODNI will lead this effort with participation from CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS," the record states.

Later, Obama officials "leaked false statements to media outlets" claiming that "Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election."

By Jan. 6, 2017, a new Intelligence Community a*sessment was released that, according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, "directly contradicted the IC a*sessments that were made throughout the previous six months."

Intelligence officials told Fox News Digital that the ICA was "politicized" because it "suppressed intelligence from before and after the election showing Russia lacked intent and capability to hack the 2016 election."

Officials also said it deceived the American public "by claiming the IC made no a*sessment on the ‘impact’ of Russian activities," when the intelligence community "did, in fact, a*sess for impact."

"The unpublished December PDB stated clearly that Russia ‘did not impact’ the election through cyber hacks on the election," an official told Fox News Digital.

The official also said that the ICA a*sessed that "Russia was responsible for leaking data from the DNC and DCCC," but while "failing to mention that FBI and NSA previously expressed low confidence in this attribution."


The Office of the Director of National Intelligence officials told Fox News Digital Friday that they have been investigating the matter for months.

Officials told Fox News Digital that the new a*sessment "was based on information that was known by those involved to be manufactured i.e. the Steele Dossier or deemed as not credible."

Officials said that the intelligence was "politicized" and then "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."

Gabbard told Fox News Digital that this "is not a partisan issue," but one that "concerns every American."

COMEY SAYS MCCABE LIED, CONFIRMS HE KICK-STARTED PROBE THAT LED TO HIS FIRING

"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 told Fox News Digital. "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."


Gabbard said the "egregious abuse of power and blatant rejection of our Constitution" by Obama-era officials "threatens the very foundation and integrity of our democratic republic."

"No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to ensure nothing like this ever happens again," Gabbard said. "The American people’s faith and trust in our democratic republic and therefore the future of our nation depends on it."

Gabbard added: "As such, I am providing all documents to the Department of Justice to deliver the accountability that President Trump, his family, and the American people deserve."

Fox News Digital reached out to Obama, Clapper, Comey, Brennan, Rice, Lynch and McCabe for comment and did not receive a response.

The declassification of records and release by Gabbard and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence comes after Fox News Digital exclusively reported that former CIA Director Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey are under criminal investigation for activities related to the original Trump-Russia probe.

The criminal referral for Brennan came from CIA Director John Ratcliffe, after he declassified records revealing that Brennan did, in fact, push for the discredited anti-Trump dossier to be included in the 2017 Intelligence Community a*sessment, despite the CIA’s consensus that it was filled with "internet rumor."


That dossier ultimately served as the basis for the Trump-Russia probe inside the FBI and for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

Reacting to the news of the investigation, Trump said he thinks "they’re very dishonest people."

"I think they're crooked as hell," Trump said. "And, maybe they have to pay a price for that."

Trump added: "I believe they are truly bad people and dishonest people. So whatever happens, happens."

Kevin Durant, has been seemingly single for some time and we may finally know why. The Phoenix Suns player recently uploaded a graphic on his Instagram Stories sharing the reasons why he thinks he hasn’t been taken off of the market yet. They include the following:

I’m a massive over thinker
I care too deeply
I’m a be safe type of guy. Message me when u get home. Have a good night type of guy.
I have so much energy.
I give my all to people who don’t give me half back
I would do anything to make someone happy even if it means I get hurt in the process.
I need reassurance all the time.
I’ll push you away when I feel like the energy isn’t reciprocated.
I love old school romance and that’s just not a thing for our generation.

LeBron James says that 1v1 is "not real basketball" but in the 2016 playoffs...
19 people viewing this

@sports      By KINGAMIIAMKING      2 hours ago

Kyrie Irving became an absolute superstar using his elite 1v1 skills.

Here's Kyrie dominating the Detroit Pistons in round 1 of 2016, where he led the Cavs in scoring thru the sweep, led them in scoring in 3 of the 4 games, scoring 31 in the opener and again in the closer. And closed the Pistons out with a dagger then a 1v1 defensive stop on Reggie Jackson.

But 1v1 isn't real basketball, the idiot says. I'm gonna highlight every series of the playoffs that year and it'll of course culminate with the greatest shot in Cavs history, a 1v1 cooking of Steph Curry by Kyrie Irving.

 Every Major Human Mistake That Changed History Forever (w/ List)
11 people viewing this

@wild'ish      By PsyOp      4 hours ago

List:

00:00:00 - 00:00:55
insulting Genghaskhan's diplomats. One of the most destructive military campaigns in human history started for a basically useless reason. In the early 1200s, Genghaskhan, leader of the Mongols, was technically at peace with the Quoresmian Empire. And the two had even fought against shared enemies. But everything changed when a Mongol trade caravan entered Quorezian territory and was attacked by a local governor who stole the goods and k*lled the merchants. Instead of going to war right away, Genghaskhan sent ambassadors to


00:00:28 - 00:01:19
the Sha of Quarism to ask for justice and for the governor to be punished. But the Sha made a terrible decision. He had one of the Mongol envoys k*lled and sent his severed head back with the others. In Mongol culture, harming a messenger was a serious offense. It was seen not just as an insult, but as a clear act of war. Genghaskhan responded with a massive invasion. His army destroyed entire cities and completely wiped out the Quarresmian Empire. Even the lowest estimates suggest that millions died.


00:00:54 - 00:01:47
But the attack didn't stop there. The Mongols continued west, bringing destruction to Persia, parts of the Middle East, and even into Europe. No one can say for sure what would have happened if the Sha had simply apologized and punished the governor. But what we do know is that at the time, the Mongols were busy f*ghting a war in China. So, by k*lling the ambassador, the Sha may have accidentally triggered one of the most destructive military campaigns in human history, German U10. On its first mission in March 1941, the


00:01:20 - 00:02:16
German submarine damaged two Allied ships, but had to stop early after an accident with its own gun injured some of the crew. But its second mission in April and May 1941 would change the course of the war. After sinking several Allied ships in the North Atlantic, U 110 was chased by British warships. On May 9th, 1941, after being hit by depth charges, the German submarine was forced to surface. This was part of a British effort later called Operation Primrose. The Allied ships surrounded the damaged


00:01:48 - 00:02:38
yubot. At first, the British thought the Germans would f*ght back and opened fire, but stopped when they realized the crew was surrendering. The German commander, Fritz Julius Limp, saw that the submarine wasn't sinking like it was supposed to. He tried to swim back and destroy the Enigma machine, a type of encryption device used by Nazi Germany to send secret military messages, but he disappeared. No one knows for sure how he died. Meanwhile, British sailors boarded the abandoned U 1110 and


00:02:13 - 00:03:15
recovered the Enigma machine along with valuable code books. These gave British codereakers at Bletchley Park a major advantage in reading secret German naval messages, especially a backup cipher known as reserve hunarin. To keep their success a secret, the British let U10 sink and pretended it had gone down with everything still inside. Constantine V's trust. In 774, Byzantine Emperor Constantine V launched a military campaign against Bulgaria, but it failed. However, he gained a major advantage afterward. Spies inside the


00:02:44 - 00:03:37
Bulgarian court in Plusa were secretly giving him valuable information. The Bulgarian ruler, Telerig, began to notice that Constantine always seemed to know his plans. He eventually realized that his government had been infiltrated by Byzantine spies. Telerig came up with a clever plan. Or perhaps Constantine was just too trusting. He sent a message to Constantine pretending he wanted to defect to Constantinople and join him. He asked for the names of the emperor's agents in saying he needed them to make


00:03:11 - 00:04:03
sure they stayed safe while he escaped. Constantine believed him and gave him the list. The thing is, Telerig had no intention of defecting. Once he got the names, he executed all the Byzantine spies in his court, completely destroying Constantine's spy network in one move, the fall of the Berlin Wall. Gunter Shaboski had recently become the unofficial spokesperson for East Germany's ruling pilot bureau, which was the top decision-making body of a communist party. The government had just


00:03:37 - 00:04:26
held a meeting where they talked about easing some travel restrictions to West Germany, but they didn't want to announce it just yet. At a press conference, Shabowski brought this up even though it wasn't meant to be made public yet. A journalist asked when the new travel rules would take effect and Shabowski, shuffling through his papers, didn't find an answer and ended up saying, "As far as I know, immediately." That one word changed everything. People in East Berlin, thinking the border was


00:04:01 - 00:04:55
now open for the first time in 28 years, rushed to the Berlin Wall. Crowds gathered quickly, and the border guards were confused because they had no clear orders. But they'd also heard the press conference. Not knowing what else to do, they opened the gates and let people through. Soon it turned into a huge celebration. People were climbing the wall, crossing freely between east and west, hugging and cheering. Around 11:30 p.m. on November 9th, 1989, the Berlin wall started falling. Some say Shabowski


00:04:28 - 00:05:22
simply misunderstood. Others believe he knew exactly what he was doing. The four pests campaign. The four pests campaign was one of the first major efforts under Maoadong's Great Leap Forward campaign. Its goal was to get rid of four pests, rats, flies, mosquitoes, and sparrows because they were thought to spread disease or damage crops. The worst mistake was the war on sparrows, especially the Eurasian tree sparrow, which the government blamed for eating grain. Millions of people across China,


00:04:56 - 00:05:49
including children, were ordered to destroy sparrow nests, smash eggs, and bang pots and pans to stop the birds from landing until they died from exhaustion. This campaign driven by propaganda and Mao's belief that man must conquer nature almost wiped out sparrows in China. But without sparrows, insect and locust populations grew out of control since there were no birds to eat them. These insects destroyed crops, making China's food shortage even worse. This disaster, combined with bad farming


00:05:22 - 00:06:21
policies and environmental mistakes, helped cause the Great Chinese famine, which k*lled tens of millions of people. By 1960, the government quietly stopped the anti-parrow campaign and began targeting bed bugs instead. Thomas Miggley Jr.'s fuel. In 1921, while working at General Motors, Thomas Miggley discovered that adding a chemical called tetrthal lead, also known as teal, to gasoline, could stop engines from making knocking sounds. Early factories making teal saw workers suffer from hallucinations, mental


00:05:51 - 00:06:47
illness, and even death. Still, the fuel was heavily promoted and quickly spread around the world. In the late 1920s, Midgley also helped create Freon, the first chlorofhluocarbon or CFC to be used as a safer cooling chemical in refrigerators. It worked well and was later used in aerosol sprays and inhalers. But many years after Midgley's death, scientists found that CFC's were damaging the ozone layer, which protects Earth from harmful UV radiation. This discovery led to worldwide bans on


00:06:19 - 00:07:10
CFC's. At the time, Midgley's inventions seemed like smart solutions to real problems, but both unfortunately caused serious harm. A historian once said Midgley had more impact on the Earth's atmosphere than any other single human being. In 1944, after being paralyzed by polio, Miggley invented an elaborate system of pulleys and ropes to help others move him in and out of bed. But the device turned deadly. One day, he became entangled in the ropes and was strangled to death, even though some say


00:06:45 - 00:07:40
it was a case of suicide. The nuclear bear. We were seconds away from nuclear World War III and the story is mostly unknown. It was around midnight during the Cuban missile crisis, the closest the world ever came to nuclear war during the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union. At a US military base in Duth, a guard saw an unknown figure climbing the fence. At that time, US military planners believed that if the Soviet Union launched a nuclear attack, they might first try to sabotage American bases. Thinking this might be


00:07:12 - 00:08:04
such an attack, the guard fired his weapon and triggered the sabotage alarm. This alarm automatically went off at all nearby military bases. But at one base in Wisconsin called Vulkfield, there was a wiring mistake. Instead of a regular sabotage alert, the alarm there set off a claxon siren which told f*ghter jets armed with nuclear weapons to take off. The pilots were on defcon 3, a high alert level just below full-scale war. They had been clearly told there would be no practice drills at that level. So


00:07:38 - 00:08:33
when they heard the signal, they believed World War II had started and they were being ordered to launch. By the time the mistake was discovered, the jets were already heading toward the runway. An officer jumped into a car, sped to the runway, and managed to signal the pilots to stop just in time to prevent a possible nuclear war. The figure that triggered it all, it was a bear. If it weren't for that officer speeding with his car, we wouldn't be here today. Byzantine refusal of engineer Orbin. In 1452, Orbin, an


00:08:06 - 00:08:57
engineer and iron founder from the Kingdom of Hungary, offered his help to Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI 11th. But the empire didn't have enough money or resources to support his work. After being rejected, Orbin went to the Ottoman Sultan Mechmed II, who was preparing to attack Constantinople. Memed saw the value in Orbin's ideas and gave him full support. In just 3 months, Orbin built a huge cannon called the Basilic. It was so massive that it took 60 oxen to pull it. His cannon played a


00:08:31 - 00:09:28
key role in the Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1453 which led to the fall of the Byzantine Empire which had lasted for over a thousand years. Kim Jong- Nam's Disneyland trip. Kim Jong- Nam, the oldest son of North Korean leader Kim Jong- and halfbrother of Kim Jong-un, was once expected to take over the country. In the late 1990s, he held top positions in the Ministry of Public Security and worked on developing North Korea's IT systems. But everything changed in 2001 when he was caught in


00:08:59 - 00:09:51
Japan using a fake passport while trying to visit Tokyo Disneyland. The incident embarrassed North Korea so much that his father canceled a planned visit to China and began quietly removing Jong- Nam from power. Over the next several years, he lived mostly in exile, moving between China, Macau, and parts of Southeast Asia. He sometimes gave interviews to foreign media and lived a more open, luxurious lifestyle than the rest of the Secretive Kim family. Intelligence agencies believed he had connections to


00:09:25 - 00:10:22
China and may have even worked as a CIA informant. After his younger half-brother Kim Jong-un was chosen as the next leader in 2010, Kim Jong- Nam was seen as a potential rival. According to South Korean intelligence, Kim Jong-un gave a standing order to have him k*lled. Jong Nam survived several a*sassination attempts and even wrote a letter asking his brother to spare his life. On February 13th, 2017, he was a*sassinated at the Koala Lumpur airport in Malaysia after two women smeared the deadly VX nerve agent on his face. The


00:09:54 - 00:10:50
women were arrested, but claimed they thought it was a prank for a TV show. Most experts believe the k*lling was ordered by Kim Jong-un. While he was alive, Kim Jong- Nam said the real reason he fell out of favor was his support for economic reforms and openness, ideas he picked up while studying in Switzerland. Rome's trust in a Germanic noble. Publius Quintilius Varys, a Roman general in charge of the new province of Germania, trusted one of his own officers, a Germanic noble named Arminius. Arminius had been trained in


00:10:22 - 00:11:20
Rome and served in the Roman army. But he was secretly working to unite the Germanic tribes against Roman rule. That summer, as Varys and about 15,000 to 20,000 Roman soldiers marched back to their winter base, Arminius told him there was a small local rebellion that needed attention. Varys believed him and led his army into a dense, remote forest. There the Roman troops were stretched out, slowed by bad weather and unable to f*ght in formation. Then Arminius set off the trap. Over several days the Roman legions were ambushed by
