A declassified 2020 report debunking the intelligence that started the Russiagate hoax, released today by DNI @TulsiGabbard, is a nothingburger, say the media. In fact, it's a devastating indictment of Obama's CIA. And Public has learned that its lead author is still at the CIA.

The statement engages in public discourse by discussing the validity of intelligence assessments related to alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It questions the integrity of the intelligence community and the actions of the Obama administration, suggesting a political bias and ongoing influence within the CIA.
