“I’ve had a lot of time to go through these,” Posobiec began. “Have you noticed all of the people trying to tell you that there’s nothing new in the DNI documents, the Gabbard file that dropped on Friday? I happen to notice that one of them was Andy McCarthy, and he, of National Review, said that this is just a frivolous argument from the DNI. Really? Do you really think that the DNI’s office would go through chapter and verse and the team over there… do you think they were working on this just for fun, that they put it out for fun? No.”
“This is newly declassified intelligence information that we didn’t have, particularly that Barack Obama ordered the President’s Daily Brief to be withheld on December 8, so that they could hold a meeting instead,” Posobiec said. “Why did they do this? Here’s how it works. The President’s Daily Brief is like a newspaper—it’s not a newspaper, but follow me with this—it gets sent out, the president gets it, other top officials get it. It includes various articles and various assessments, products of intelligence coming out.”
“However, on that day, he ordered that the entire PDB be stricken. Why? Well, because during the transition period, post-election, pre-inauguration, who else has access to the PDB? The president-elect, Donald Trump, and his team, which at the time included General Flynn and so many others, Steve Bannon… They all had access as well. So [Obama] blocks it because he didn’t want the president-elect to see the assessment, the FBI assessment that said Russia didn’t hack the election,” Posobiec stated.
“Because if Trump knew that, it would have come right out. Yet, so many questions now. Mike Pompeo, when he was CIA director—he becomes CIA director just weeks later. Why are we only learning about all of this now? That you ordered the intelligence to be changed? Don’t sit there and say it’s a conspiracy, we have your emails,” he continued.
“Tulsi Gabbard brought the receipts on every single one of them: Brennan, Clapper, the rest, Victoria Nuland. We understand what happened here. This was meant to be a hostile act—not just to the Trump administration but to Russian diplomats who were thrown out of the country on the heels of this.”
He went on to criticize National Review and conservative pundits who dismissed the revelations. “So why is it then, that Andy McCarthy and the National Review say it’s frivolous and not a big deal? Pay very close attention to the people telling you that it’s not a big deal,” he warned. “Mark Levin is saying that we need to move on from Epstein, he’s saying that it’s a distraction, who cares—that it’s a time waster, even though he was talking about it just a few weeks ago. No, no, no. These are the people that we need to be paying attention to.”
The documents referenced by Posobiec were declassified and released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who said that there “must be accountability” for Obama administration officials involved in what she called a “treasonous conspiracy” against Trump after the 2016 election. Gabbard told Fox & Friends that intelligence agencies repeatedly assessed that Russia lacked the intent or capability to influence the outcome of the election—an assessment that remained consistent even days after Trump’s victory.
Gabbard said a draft President’s Daily Brief reflecting this finding was “pulled hours before it was supposed to be published.” Instead, Obama convened a National Security Council meeting on a “sensitive topic,” and according to Gabbard, directed the intelligence community to manufacture a narrative detailing how Russia had interfered—contradicting prior internal assessments.
“That document was never published until we released it yesterday,” Gabbard said. “And the results of that meeting, which we released yesterday, and these over 100 documents that talk about in detail how President Obama and his team… directed a manufactured piece of intelligence.”
