New Revelations in 2016 Election: Clinton’s Health and Russian Interference
This week, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a previously classified report shedding light on the 2016 election. The report revealed that Russia had access to sensitive DNC information regarding Hillary Clinton’s health. Details disclosed psychological and physical issues hidden even from her advisors. Concerns were raised by Obama and Democratic leaders about the impact on her election chances. These new findings question Russia’s motives for withholding information during the 2016 race.
While most discussions focused on Trump-Moscow ties, the report indicates Russia acquired damaging info on Clinton but didn’t leak it. By September 2016, Russian intelligence accessed DNC communications expressing concerns about Clinton’s health. The discoveries included:
- Obama-era panic over Clinton’s health, described as ‘extraordinarily alarming’ by senior Democrats.
- Details of Clinton’s psychological problems, including anger fits and power obsession.
- Knowledge of Clinton’s physical health issues.
Interestingly, Russia opted not to disclose the most damaging Clinton information, hinting at possible post-election leverage or an expectation of her victory.
The House Intelligence Committee report, declassified by Gabbard under Trump, questions the narrative of Russia-Trump collusion. It raises concerns about withheld context and transparency in the Obama and Biden eras.
These revelations cast doubts on the Steele Dossier, reveal deeper foreign insights into Democratic conflicts, and prompt scrutiny of past officials’ intelligence handling.
Clinton has not responded to the new information, while DNC documents seem to contradict previous denials. The report portrays:
- A divided and alarmed Democratic Party regarding Clinton’s health.
- A foreign power having access to this concern.
- A narrative possibly influenced more by politics than truth.
