CNN Hosts fired the director of National Intelligence of Tulsi Gabbard, Wednesday's press conference on the role of the Obama Administration in the perpetuation of Russiagate as a part of distraction of a compensation campaign.
Gabbard doubled at a press conference from the White House on Wednesday, claiming that the Obama administration promoted an “artificial narrative” that Russia interfered in the 2016 elections. Numerous figures of the Democratic Party were appointed in the informative session in which she declared: “There is irrefutable evidence that details how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of a community evaluation of a community evaluation. That was false. “
Gabbard also presented the findings of a recently declassified intelligence report that claimed that Russia had intelligence that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was taking “tranquilizer heavy”, that former President Barack Obama and the leaders of the Democratic Party allegedly considered “extraordinarily alarming.”
CNN presenter Brianna Keilar said that the statements presented by Gabbard were part of Trump's efforts to “change the subject” of the questions about Epstein's archives, using Russiagate's narratives to “chumear the waters.”

Then he turned to the main correspondent of CNN, Jeff Zeleny, to “talk to us a little about this problem, but also what it distracts.”
“The conclusion of all this is that this is the remuneration campaign that President Trump has promised for a long time, and it is a new distraction campaign that he waits for anxious jobs to avoid questions and go from questions about Jeffrey Epstein,” Zeleny said. “Obviously, obviously, Hillary Clinton, and distracting, trying to change the subject.”
Gabbard delivering this particular message, he said, is a cynical ploy to recover the base.
“There is no better way to return to good thanks, or try at least try to do it, than to embrace one of the conspiracy theories to a large extent of the president and the old favorite tropes that date back to the 2016 campaign,” he said.
Zeleny dismissed the accusations, since it is not even worth repeating.
“But we must point out that these are some accusations quite far, saying that the Russian intelligence community had information that Hillary Clinton was in tranquilizers at that time. This was not verified in any way. We have no idea. I mean, this is information that we should even repeat,” Zeleny said.
“It doesn't matter if it is, you know, some years after the fact, eight years, more than that, after the fact, but also looks at the source,” he added. “But look, this is what this White House wants to talk, and I am not sure that we must spend much more time in that, frankly.”
The White House told Fox News Digital that “Fake News CNN” cannot bear that “President Trump was demonstrated again.”
“The director Gabbard declassified documents on behalf of transparency to show the world that the Obama administration was really behind Russia's deception, Russia and Russia. Those who participated in criminal activities will be responsible to the greater extent of the law,” said White House spokesman Davis R. Ingle, Fox News Digital.

Trump has removed parts of his base in recent weeks, since he has been involved in foreign wars and has denied the existence of Epstein's list, breaking key promises of his campaign.
Trump, in turn, has rejected parts of his base, ranging from recognizing that he will alter the “radical right” by allowing illegal immigrant workers to remain in the country to tell the conservatives focused on Epstein, “I don't want their support anymore!”
