Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard stated Sunday that whistleblowers have been coming forward following the release of documents and a memo revealing the Obama administration’s efforts to undermine President Donald Trump after the 2016 election.

On Friday, Gabbard released these documents and a memo outlining what she described as a “years-long coup” against Trump after his victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She characterized the whistleblowers as individuals “disgusted” by the alleged “treasonous conspiracy” reportedly orchestrated by then-President Barack Obama in response to Clinton’s defeat, the Daily Caller noted.

“We have whistleblowers … coming forward now, after we released these documents because there are people who were around, who were working within the intelligence community who so disgusted by what happened, we’re starting to see some of them come out of the woodwork here because they, too, like you and I and the American people, want to see justice delivered,” Gabbard told “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo.

“So we’re going to provide everything that we have, everything that we will continue to gather to the Department of Justice for that direct intent and that direct purpose,” she said.

Gabbard then dropped a bombshell regarding what she believes needs to happen next.

“There must be indictments. Those responsible, no matter how powerful they are or were at that time, no matter who was involved in creating this treasonous conspiracy against the American people, they all must be held accountable,” Gabbard continued.

WATCH:

Special Counsel John Durham secured a guilty plea from Kevin Clinesmith in 2020 on charges related to falsifying information in Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications targeting Carter Page during the FBI’s surveillance of individuals connected to Trump’s 2016 campaign.

In January 2021, a federal judge sentenced Clinesmith to probation and 400 hours of community service. Under federal sentencing guidelines, falsifying information to the FISA court can carry a prison term of 5 to 10 years and a fine of up to $250,000.

Gabbard questioned why Durham, tasked with investigating the origins of the FBI’s surveillance of the Trump campaign, failed to uncover these documents or “connect the dots.”

“This is of such historic consequence that it cannot be limited to one or two or three different people. You just outlined the implications and the effects of what actually occurred and I think you’re really putting into a clear picture what we are referring to when we refer to the deep state,” Gabbard told Bartiromo.

“It is very far-reaching. These are people who are intent on undermining the will of the American people and trying to ultimately, put themselves above our democracy and this is why it’s so important that we continue down this path, we continue to stay very focused,” she said.

“I question the same things that you’re asking here. I don’t know how it is – yes, I put my team on this, we’ve been working on this over the last few months. I’ve been in this role as director of National Intelligence for just about six months,” Gabbard added. “I don’t know what excuse there is for those who supposedly investigated this previously, whether it was Durham or others, that they were not able to put together the dots and ultimately show the truth to the American people.”

On May 15, 2023, Durham released a report examining the origins of the FBI’s investigation into allegations that Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign colluded with Russia. The report concluded that the FBI “did not and could not corroborate” the claims contained in the now-discredited Steele Dossier, which had been used to obtain warrants to monitor the communications of Page and other Trump associates.

The dossier was reportedly funded by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, previous reports noted.

They agreed to pay a $113,000 fine in March 2022 “to settle a Federal Election Commission investigation into whether they violated campaign finance law by misreporting spending on research that eventually became the infamous Steele dossier,” the AP reported.
