This week, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified a House Intelligence Committee report shedding new light on the 2016 election and Russia’s involvement.
The report revealed that Russia had access to secret DNC information about Hillary Clinton’s health, including psychological and physical ailments concealed even from her own advisors. Democratic leaders were alarmed by Clinton’s health condition, fearing it could harm her election prospects.
The newly released information raises questions about Russia’s knowledge and motives during the election. While attention had focused on alleged Trump-Moscow connections, Russia chose not to leak damaging information about Clinton.
Key Findings:
- President Obama and Democratic leaders were concerned about Clinton’s health, believing it could negatively impact her campaign.
- Russian sources described Clinton as having intensified psycho-emotional issues, including uncontrolled anger and a dependency on tranquilizers.
- Russia possessed knowledge of Clinton’s physical health problems.
Analysts suggest that Russia refrained from leaking damaging information to potentially use it as leverage post-election.
The declassified report, authorized for release by Gabbard, challenges the narrative of Russia-Trump collusion and raises questions about transparency within previous administrations.
These revelations underscore the deeper visibility of foreign adversaries into Democratic affairs and prompt a closer look at how intelligence dissemination was managed in the past.
Implications and Unanswered Queries:
- Hillary Clinton has not responded to the released material that contradicts previous denials regarding health issues.
- The report paints a picture of a fragmented Democratic Party alarmed about their nominee’s health, the involvement of a foreign power in this concern, and a potential political narrative influenced more by politics than facts.
