Former Intel Official Warns Gabbard Revelations Jeopardize US Sources, Methods

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has released whistleblower accounts and declassified documents revealing alleged manipulation and pressure within the Obama-era Intelligence Community to produce the 2017 report that concluded Russia interfered in the 2016 election to favor Donald Trump. The whistleblower, a senior intelligence analyst, claimed to have been pressured and threatened to alter their views to support the narrative that Russia helped Trump win, despite lacking evidence to do so. These revelations suggest a coordinated effort by Obama administration officials to frame Russian interference in a way that would harm Trump’s presidency, with some officials potentially facing investigation. Gabbard has also confirmed that the 2020 election was compromised, citing evidence from a CISA whistleblower about vulnerabilities in electronic voting systems that were knowingly ignored by the federal government. Critics argue Gabbard's disclosures risk damaging intelligence liaison relationships and could undermine trust with foreign sources. These developments continue to fuel debates over intelligence integrity, election security, and the ongoing political struggle surrounding election interference narratives.
