Compel Obama Now
Kevin McCullough
There was a theme to the Obama years: say one thing, mean another, and spin it all as “historic.” This week, Barack Obama trotted out that same tired formula—this time in response to the bombshell DNI report declassified last Friday.
His statement? “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.”
Cute. But irrelevant.
Because no one—certainly not the DNI—claimed Russia manipulated votes. That’s not the point. The actual claim from the Director of National Intelligence—now Tulsi Gabbard—is that Obama-era officials manufactured a narrative, suppressed contradictory intelligence, and then jammed it down the throat of the American public in the biggest gaslighting operation since “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.”
This isn’t about Russia's capabilities to hack ballots. It’s about how far Barack Obama’s team was willing to go to bend, break, or bury the truth if it served their political ends.
