Did Obama and His Team Break Rules in 2016? What We Learned from New Documents

A new set of documents unveiled by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard raises big questions about what happened in 2016. You see, before the election, U.S. intelligence experts said there was no proof that Russia changed votes or hacked voting systems


But then, after the election, a different report—used in national briefings—said Russia tried to influence the election in favor of Donald Trump The Gateway Pundit+9The Guardian+9mint+9.

Now, Gabbard is calling this a serious betrayal. She says leaders like President Obama, James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey knew the original finding that Russia didn’t change votes—but then changed the story anyway. She has labeled it “a treasonous conspiracy” and wants the Department of Justice to look into itThe Economic Times+4Politico+4The Daily Beast+4.

This matters for three big reasons:

  • Truth vs. Spin: If the first intelligence report was accurate, but then decision-makers reshaped the story—adding unverified elements—that could mean they misled the public and pressured other agencies.

  • Bigger Shadow Game: Some people suggest this new focus is meant to distract from questions around Jeffrey Epstein—like a way to steer attention away from one controversy by reviving anotherThe Economic TimesThe Daily Beast.

  • What Comes Next: Rep. Jim Himes and others say this looks like a “reheated claim,” pointing back to earlier bipartisan investigations that found Russia did interfere—though not by changing votes, but by spreading propagandaThe Times of India+7Politico+7The Economic Times+7.

This matters in a way that goes deeper than just politics—it’s about trust, timing, and what might really be going on behind the scenes. If the first report said Russia didn’t change votes, and then leaders like Obama, Brennan, and Clapper allowed a second version to say something different, that’s not just bad judgment—that could mean they were trying to control what the American people believed. Now, with all the talk about Epstein back in the news, some believe this sudden focus on 2016 could be a clever way to turn attention away from powerful names tied to Epstein’s files. It’s like shaking the snow globe and pointing at the flakes, hoping no one notices what’s in the center. And when politicians like Rep. Himes say, “Oh, this is just old news,” it sounds more like they’re trying to shut down questions before they get too close to something real. Whether or not anyone faces justice, the timing and the silence from key figures leave people wondering what’s being hidden—and who’s still protecting it.

Big Picture

This story isn’t just about some dusty papers from years ago—it’s about whether the people at the very top of the government played a game with the truth. If leaders took one version of events, then changed it on purpose to make it say something else, that means the truth was never the goal—control was.

 When whistleblowers risk everything to reveal hidden memos, it tells us there’s more going on than what’s shown on TV. And if those memos prove that intelligence was twisted to make certain people look guilty—or to protect others—then it’s not just politics, it’s a plan. 

A plan that may have been used to push certain ideas, protect certain names, or distract the public while something much bigger was happening. People are starting to ask, not just “what happened,” but “who decided what we were allowed to believe?” 

And when that question goes unanswered, it shakes the very ground under everything we’re told to trust.
