The Obama-Era Russian Collusion Hoax: Tulsi and Ratcliffe Speak, GOP Shrugs

Trying to unravel the Obama-era Russian collusion hoax feels like standing in front of a cold case murder board. You know, the kind of giant wall covered in photos, scribbled notes, and red string connecting shadowy figures to a body that’s long gone cold. Only in this case, the victim was the truth. And the suspects were heads of U.S. intelligence, White House officials, political operatives, and a press corps that looked the other way.

If you want to catch up on everything first, here ya go:

Victory Girl Toni laid it out yesterday—dear Barry’s never going to see the inside of a prison cell, and for now, winning the narrative will have to be enough. But that doesn’t mean we’re done talking about it. Because there is still a lot to talk about.

For instance, Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe are naming names. And we need to discuss how the GOP is just shrugging its shoulders over it.

In a very professional tone, CIA Director John Ratcliffe told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo that no one should be surprised if James Comey, John Brennan, and Hillary Clinton are charged for their role in the Russian collusion hoax. He’s made criminal referrals, as has Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who confirmed that Barack Obama was cited in a criminal referral she made to the Justice Department. – Townhall

Hard to believe, but it’s been nearly a decade since the so-called Russia collusion story first exploded across cable news. But now, with the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, blowing the door wide open on all of it, they are not mincing words. They are pointing directly at the Obama administration and its role in launching what many now call the biggest political hoax in modern history.

So where does that leave us now?

Well, Trump wants accountability and prosecution. And can you blame him?

But some Republicans seem to be all talk and no action. Surprise.

While Trump’s GOP supporters in Congress have united in expressing outrage, they have varying ideas of what accountability looks like.

[…]

House GOP leaders are vowing Congress will investigate, but are stopping short of calling for prosecutions, as Trump has, or proposing any tangible consequences for those named in the newly released documents.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) called Gabbard’s disclosures “pretty earth-shattering.”

But Scalise declined to call for arrests or prosecutions.

“There needs to be accountability,” Scalise said. “But now our committees are going to go to work. There’s a lot of work to do to find out more …. You follow the evidence wherever it leads, and then if somebody broke laws, you take action. We’re at the beginning stages of this. So let’s find out where it leads.” – The Hill

Oh great, more committees. Cue the biggest eye roll in America.

At least now we can breathe a little easier when it comes to Tulsi Gabbard. There was a time when some of us weren’t quite sure what to make of her, but credit where it’s due. She’s hitting the mark lately, and her stance on the Obama-era Russia collusion hoax is exactly what we’ve been waiting to hear.

Tulsi Gabbard Names the Real Mastermind

Tulsi Gabbard has always been unpredictable, but lately, she has been one of the only political figures willing to say what others won’t. In a recent statement, Gabbard said flat out that former President Barack Obama oversaw the operation that used the FBI, CIA, and media to sabotage Donald Trump’s presidency before it even began.

John Ratcliffe Opens the File

John Ratcliffe is not speculating. As the current CIA Director — and former Director of National Intelligence under President Trump — he has seen it all. Raw intelligence, classified briefings, internal reports. Now he is naming names. According to Ratcliffe, former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper are the ones most likely to face criminal charges for their roles in the Obama-era Russia collusion hoax.

And those are the men most Americans believe should finally face justice. Not because of politics, but because of what they did with power they were never meant to abuse. And for once, it actually seems within reach.

The GOP Has the Power. So Why Are They So Quiet?

Republicans have had more than enough opportunities. They’ve had control of the House, subpoena power, access to whistleblowers, and stacks of declassified intelligence. And still, nothing meaningful has come of it.

Voters have seen this show before. Hearings go nowhere. Angry tweets fly. Fundraising emails flood inboxes. But what people actually want is action. They want results. They want to see someone held accountable for what was done to this country under the excuse of protecting it.

What do we get instead? Press conferences. Cable hits. Committee reports that gather dust.

The GOP does not seem to grasp the stakes. This is not about old wounds or relitigating the past. It is about the survival of a republic. If the intelligence community can frame a president, weaponize law enforcement, and walk away clean, then we no longer live in a free country.

Now, a Strike Force is being assembled under Pam Bondi’s DOJ to see if there’s real fire beneath the smoke Tulsi stirred up the other day. I’ve got mixed feelings. My first thought? Let’s just hope this one comes with more than empty binders and maybe, eventually, an actual press briefing.

This Is Bigger Than Trump

This is not just about Trump. It never was. This is about what kind of government we are willing to accept. If people in power can invent a narrative, use the full force of the state to enforce it, and never face consequences, then we are not a nation of laws.

We are something else entirely.

The cold case board is full. The evidence is there. The names are known. The only thing missing is the will to act.
