A former CIA officer who helped lead the intelligence assessments over alleged Russia interference in the 2016 presidential election has said Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, is ignorant of the practices of espionage after she accused Barack Obama and his national security team of “treasonous conspiracy” against Donald Trump.

Tulsi Gabbard claims evidence points to former President Obama leading the 'Russia Hoax' intelligence assessment. She refers documents to the DOJ and FBI.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said on Saturday that former President Barack Obama’s dismissiveness toward 2016 investigations that wrongly tarred President Donald Trump as being backed by Russia is one more attempt to deflect the truth.
