FACT CHECK: No, Obama DID NOT Commit Treason - Tulsi Gabbard's RECKLESS Lies

🚨 Fact Check – No, Obama did not commit treason. Today, we’re tackling one of the most outrageous claims yet made by Tulsi Gabbard: that President Barack Obama and his national security team directed the creation of a false intelligence report to mislead the American public about Russian interference in the 2016 election.

That’s right — Tulsi Gabbard is accusing a former president, his top aides, and the entire U.S. intelligence community of orchestrating a political hoax to damage Donald Trump. We’re breaking it all down today: the claims, the documents, and why this narrative is both deeply dangerous and completely dishonest.

📍 SEGMENT 1 – WHAT GABBARD IS CLAIMING

Tulsi Gabbard made a bold claim in her latest video and Fox News appearance. She said:

“The newly declassified documents offer irrefutable evidence that Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false.”

This assessment from 2017, created by the CIA, FBI, and NSA, concluded with high confidence that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump. This was backed by bipartisan investigations, confirmed by the Senate Intelligence Committee, and supported by Trump’s own intelligence chiefs. But Tulsi Gabbard? She says it was all a coordinated lie — masterminded by Barack Obama.

📍 SEGMENT 2 – WHAT THE DOCUMENTS ACTUALLY SAY

Let’s examine the documents Gabbard is referencing:

The documents reflect some disagreement within agencies on how certain they were about Putin’s intent to help Trump. The NSA had moderate confidence, while the CIA and FBI had high confidence. This is not unusual in the intelligence world.

But nowhere in the documents does it suggest Obama or anyone else ordered a false report. Tulsi Gabbard is taking a normal bureaucratic process and spinning it into a conspiracy theory.

📍 SEGMENT 3 – THE REALITY OF RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE

Let’s stick to the facts:

Russia did interfere in the 2016 election.

The Mueller Report confirmed it.

The bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee confirmed it.

Even Trump’s own Director of National Intelligence confirmed it.

No credible source — Democrat, Republican, or independent — disputes the fact that Russia attempted to help Trump and hurt Hillary Clinton. But Tulsi wants you to believe the entire thing was fabricated by Obama to frame Trump. That narrative is not only absurd; it’s offensive to the thousands of intelligence professionals who risk their lives to protect our democracy.

📍 SEGMENT 4 – WHY IS TULSI DOING THIS NOW?

Let’s be clear: This isn’t about policy or good-faith debate. This is about Tulsi Gabbard trying to find political relevance:

She’s auditioning for a spot in MAGA media, possibly as a VP candidate, or trying to secure a role in Trump’s America.

By attacking Obama and the intelligence community, she’s checking all the boxes: Undermining trust in democratic institutions, rewriting history, distracting from Trump’s own ties to Russia, and rallying the far-right base.

She’s not interested in facts. She’s pushing a dangerous narrative for political gain.

📍 SEGMENT 5 – THE DANGEROUS COST OF HER LIES

The stakes here are high:

National security depends on the public’s trust in our intelligence agencies.

Democracy depends on the truth, especially when it comes to foreign interference.

History depends on honest record-keeping — not revisionism to fit a political agenda.

By accusing Barack Obama of fabricating an intelligence report, with no evidence, just cherry-picked disagreements, Tulsi Gabbard isn’t just smearing a president. She’s smearing the entire U.S. government and doing the work of America’s enemies.

OUTRO:

Tulsi Gabbard has gotten the headlines she wanted. But what she won’t get is credibility.

Barack Obama did not lie. The intelligence community did not fabricate evidence. Russia attacked our democracy, and some people — like Tulsi Gabbard — are still helping them finish the job.
