Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, July 19, 2025

The Obama administration "manufactured and politicized intelligence" to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise, Fox News Digital has learned. On Friday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents revealing "overwhelming evidence" that demonstrates how, after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump"Russia collusion probe.

"Tulsi Gabbard"

Is a Russian asset.

BOAZ should know that.

Beyond all this, this new "scandal" won't distract from Trump's effort to stonewall on Epstein.

People are too interested. Even YOUR people, BOAZ.

Poor widdle Donald proves to be a sexual pervert.

But BOAZ knows that.

"The Obama administration 'manufactured and politicized intelligence.'"

Unlike the Trump administration, where presumption of intelligence of any kind is stomped into the ground by Dear Leader's sclerotically enhanced mancankles.

Tulsi Gabbard, Russian asset, say Donald Trump, Russian Asset, isn't a Russian Asset.

Here's a Wikipedia article with links to the actual, factual report on Russia: en.wikipedia.org

Boaz, you're being lied to again, but it confirms your bias. Maybe one day you'll see that you've backed a traitor, but that day is not today

Is see the misogynist have arrived with their usual "shoot the messenger" routine

Any Lumper refute with facts, whats been uncovered?

I find it pretty incredible. This is before I became politically aware, but it certainly seems Obama misled the country.

What is strange is I do recall Obama kicking out the Russian diplomats over this.
www.npr.org

Pretty damning to kick them out on a lie.

Of course Putin denied it at the time
www.youtube.com

Incredible if proven true that Obama misled the country this way. He should goto jail for it, but he may be immune.

Beyond all this, this new "scandal" won't distract from Trump's effort to stonewall on Epstein.

Only idiots think there's more to the Trump-Epstein story. Can you imagine if there was?

Why did Biden and the DOJ hold it back? Trump according to Zed is the second coming of Hitler, seems like you should be mad at Biden, or whom ever was running the "autopen" at the time.

To prove that we're idiots.

Trump is a child predator. The FBI has the receipts and won't release them.

Well, acording to MAGA and to Trump, because they were in on the conspiracy.

LOL.

There's no way for you people to win this unless the entire Epstein files are released.

But since they have not----

Why is Trump and the DOJ holding it back?

"Why is Trump and the DOJ holding it back?"

The only MAGA conclusion possible is that Trump is part of the conspiracy and will be harmed by the release of the Epstein files.

God, this all really too funny.

Is this the new talking point Trumpers are spreading to defend pedophiles?

Hundreds of photographs. Decades of friendship. A fondness for sexual assault.

Trump raped children.

He's been accused by his victims.

Deplorable MAGAts are pro pedophilia.

We had the receipts years ago when the Republican-led, bi-Partisan Committee found that Russia actively working to elect Trump was NO HOAX.

Now what we'll be getting is 10's of millions of taxpayer dollars spent on Trump's Revenge Against the Truth.

WASHINGTON (AP) " The Trump campaign's interactions with Russian intelligence services during the 2016 presidential election posed a "grave" counterintelligence threat, a Senate panel concluded Tuesday as it detailed how associates of Donald Trump had regular contact with Russians and expected to benefit from the Kremlin's help.

The nearly 1,000-page report, the fifth and final one from the Republican-led Senate intelligence committee on the Russia investigation, details how Russia launched an aggressive effort to interfere in the election on Trump's behalf.

It says the Trump campaign chairman had regular contact with a Russian intelligence officer and says other Trump associates were eager to exploit the Kremlin's aid, particularly by maximizing the impact of the disclosure of Democratic emails hacked by Russian intelligence officers."
;;

"The findings, including unflinching characterizations of furtive interactions between Trump associates and Russian operatives, echo to a large degree those of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation and appear to repudiate the Republican president's claims that the FBI had no basis to investigate whether his campaign was conspiring with Russia. Trump has called the Russia investigations a "hoax.""

Of course, Trumpers only believe their Cult Leader, not both parties in Congress who managed to agree that THIS WAS NOT A HOAX.

What's wrong with morals that consistently point the opposite direction from how Trump has lived his life?

Here's another way you can answer:
What morals do you and Trump share?

#23 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-07-19 01:24 PM | Reply | Newsworthy 1

Trump has the same morals as the person in the bible described as, 'The Man of Sin', whether he is that man or not.

And yeah, Cultists have the same morals as their Leader.

Forget the pathetic MAGAt deflections.
We are in that territory Howard Baker entered during Watergate.
"What did the President know and when did he know it?"
That's what the TN GOPer Senator asked, never expecting the devastating answer.
So, it's simple.

"When Russia set out to interfere with the 2016 election, it went all out.

Over the course of the election, a wide-ranging group of Russians probed state voter databases for insecurities; hacked the Hillary Clinton campaign, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic National Committee;

tried to hack the campaign of Sen. Marco Rubio and the Republican National Committee; released politically damaging information on the internet; spread propaganda on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram; staged rallies in Florida and Pennsylvania;

set up meetings with members of the Trump campaign and its associates; and floated a business proposition for a skyscraper in Moscow to the Trump Organization."

Bingo. This is just a lane deflection/distraction from the Epstein story.

Did I wander into an alternate universe where Clownshack is the one of the most sensible people on this board, or did everyone else suddenly decide to lower their standards that much?
