Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just blasted former President Barack Obama for his response to the recent revelations regarding the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. 

As the New York Post reports, the biggest revelation of all is that Obama, according to the Trump administration, was a pivotal player in the hoax.

Obama and associates, however, are trying to claim otherwise.

Background

This all follows the recent declassification, by the Trump administration, of materials relating to the Russia-Trump collusion hoax. Those materials direct blame at Obama and other high-level officials from his administration.

Gabbard has referred to Obama and crew's actions as "treasonous," and President Donald Trump has even suggested that Obama should be charged.

Obama responded via spokeman Patrick Rodenbush.

In a statement, he wrote:

Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction. Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes. These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.

In short, Rodenbush, on behalf of Obama, is trying to claim there is nothing to see here.

Gabbard responds

Suffice it to say that Gabbard is having none of this.

"The treasonous conspiracy that we have now released to the American people — the complicity, the deflection, and the silence of politicians, of the mainstream media, and of those directly implicated into this speaks volumes," Gabbard said during a recent appearance on the Fox News Channel.

Gabbard also responded directly to Rodenbush's statement.

“President Obama’s very carefully worded response that came from his office, again, deflects away from addressing any of the truth that was revealed,” she said.

Gabbard added, "They would have to admit and actually address the details of their complicity in this or their absolute failure in conducting the most basic responsibilities of, again, asking, where is this intelligence coming from?"
