This week, the US Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, released a once-classified House Intelligence Committee report that sheds new light on the 2016 election and what foreign intelligence services, notably Russia’s SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service), knew about the Democratic Party’s inner workings.
A recently declassified report uncovered that Russia had obtained secret DNC information regarding Hillary Clinton’s health, suggesting that she was experiencing both psychological and physical ailments that were concealed from her own advisors. This revelation raised concerns among Obama and Democratic leaders, who considered her condition ‘extraordinarily alarming’ and feared it could harm her chances in the election.
The report further disclosed that in September 2016, Russian intelligence had accessed DNC communications outlining concerns about Clinton’s mental and physical health. Shockingly, Russia did not disclose this damaging information, prompting analysts to speculate about the reasons behind this decision.
Key Findings:
- President Obama and senior Democratic leaders expressed alarm over Clinton’s deteriorating health, believing it could seriously impact her campaign.
- Internal DNC documents indicated that Clinton was dealing with intensified psycho-emotional problems, heavy tranquilizer dependency, and an obsession with power.
- The SVR was aware of Clinton’s physical health ailments.
The decision by Russia to withhold such information, despite later accusations of favoring Trump, has led to theories suggesting that Russia anticipated a Clinton victory and chose to retain this material for potential leverage post-election.
The declassified report, now made public by Tulsi Gabbard, highlights discrepancies in the narrative surrounding Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election and questions the transparency of the Obama and Biden intelligence communities.
Reactions and Implications:
While Hillary Clinton has not responded to these new findings, her past denials of health-related rumors contrast with the internal DNC communications revealed in the report, painting a picture of a deeply divided Democratic Party alarmed by its nominee’s health crisis.
These revelations suggest deeper foreign insight into Democratic internal conflicts than previously acknowledged and raise concerns about how intelligence dissemination was managed during the Obama era.
