This week, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified a report that sheds new light on the 2016 election and what Russia’s SVR knew about the Democratic Party’s inner workings. The report revealed information about Hillary Clinton’s health that was kept hidden.
According to the report, Russian intelligence had accessed DNC communications indicating concerns about Clinton’s mental and physical health. This raised questions about Russia’s motives and its impact on the 2016 race.
Obama-era Concerns
President Obama and senior Democratic leaders were alarmed by Clinton’s health, believing it could negatively impact her campaign. They kept these concerns secret, even from top advisors.
Psychological and Physical Ailments
The report described Clinton’s psycho-emotional problems, including uncontrolled anger and a dependency on tranquilizers. It also mentioned her mindset focused on power. Additionally, it revealed specific physical health issues.
Russia’s decision not to leak damaging information about Clinton, despite having it, raised speculations about its intentions and diplomatic strategies.
Impact and Revelations
The full report, declassified by Tulsi Gabbard, questions the narrative around Russia’s involvement in the election and the handling of intelligence information in previous administrations.
The revelations suggest a deeper understanding of Democratic dynamics by foreign adversaries and raise concerns about transparency and selective storytelling in political narratives.
