It appears that former President Barack Obama and his associates are now trying to hide from the American public the recent revelations about his involvement in the Russia-Trump collusion hoax.

This is according to a new report from NBC News, titled, "Tulsi Gabbard's 'treason' allegation triggers a high-wire act from Obama world."

Apparently, Obama is going to need some serious skill to get out of this one, as one needs to do a high-wire act.

The latest

NBC spoke with Obama's "former aides" for its report. These aides, of course, are anonymous.

The outlet writes:

These people say the events of the last week have turned into a messaging balancing act between unnecessarily giving oxygen to the claims that Obama ordered a false intelligence analysis to show Russia had worked to help Trump win the 2016 election and leaving the potential for unchecked accusations to balloon. Many of those who talked to NBC News were not authorized to speak publicly about strategy.

Apparently, the chief concern is keeping the truth from the American people.

The outlet quotes one source as saying:

The battle now is to play this even to make sure that thoughts don’t start to creep into more mainstream [audiences].

As you can see, there is little attempt to hide the fact that they want to cover this up.

Background

According to the Daily Caller, this comes after the Trump administration released classified evidence implicating Obama and other high-ranking officials in the Russia-Trump collusion hoax.

The outlet reports:

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified documents in recent days revealing the spun or manufactured intelligence undergirding a 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment — directed by Obama and executed by his top intelligence officials, Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper — concluding that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to secure a win for Trump. The ICA touched off years of Russiagate media frenzy, in part by elevating the outlandish claims in the Steele dossier, an opposition research file funded by rival Hillary Clinton.

Obama, for his part, has been silent about all of this. He has only released a statement through a spokesperson.

The statement reads:

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.

Gabbard, in response, has accused Obama of deflecting "away from addressing any of the truth that was revealed."
