Tulsi Gabbard details damning allegations against Hillary Clinton

Daily Mail​4 days ago
Tulsi Gabbard unleashed a barrage of shocking charges against Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, claiming that she was on 'heavy tranquilizers' and was dealing with 'psycho emotional problems' during the 2016 election. Gabbard, who is President Donald Trump's director of National Intelligence, said Russia President Vladimir Putin had that information and planned to use it against Clinton when she was serving as president. The information was in the September 2020 report by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on Russia's attempts to influence the election that Gabbard declassified on Wednesday.
'This report shows Putin held back from leaking compromising material on Hillary Clinton prior to the election, instead planning to release it after the election,' Gabbard said. The declassified report also claims that Clinton suffered from severe health ailments like type 2 diabetes and ischemic heart disease. It also claimed that Clinton - who then was serving as Obama's secretary of state -had her government aides hold secret meetings with religious leaders where they were offered 'significant increases in funding' from the State Department in return for their political support in the election.
'The intelligence community intentionally suppressed intelligence that showed Putin was saving the most damaging material that he had in his possession about Hillary Clinton until after her potential and likely victory,' Gabbard said. 'There were high-level DNC emails that detailed evidence of Hillary's, quote, psycho emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression and cheerfulness, and that then Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers,' she added. Clinton did have a public health scare during the 2016 contest.
She swooned and stumbled at a Sept. 11 commemoration in New York in an incident captured on cell phone video. It showed Clinton wobbling and being lifted into the vehicle by her aides after leaving a memorial service at the site of the 2001 World Trade Center attack. The Clinton campaign later said she was diagnosed with pneumonia. And her doctor, a few days later, declared Clinton 'healthy and fit to serve' as president. She had other health scares. In January 2011, when on an official trip to Yemen, Clinton tripped and fell on the plane stairs as she was departing the country.
The declassified House report made a slew of charges about Clinton, including: As of September 2016, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) had Democratic National Committee (DNC) information that President Obama and party leaders found the state of Secretary Clinton's health to be 'extraordinarily alarming' and felt it could have 'serious negative impact' on her election prospects. Her health information was being kept in 'strictest secrecy' and even close advisors were not being fully informed.
The SVR possessed DNC communications that Clinton was suffering from 'intensified psychoemotional problems, including uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression. and cheerfulness.' Clinton was placed on a daily regimen of 'heavy tranquilizers' and while afraid of losing, she remained 'obsessed with a thirst for power.' The SVR also had information that Clinton suffered from 'Type 2 diabetes, Ischemic heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.'
The SVR possessed a campaign email discussing a plan approved by Secretary Clinton to link Putin and Russian hackers to candidate Trump in order to 'distract the [American] public' from the Clinton email server scandal. The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) in August had details of secret meetings with multiple named US religious organizations, in which US State Department representatives offered-in exchange for supporting Secretary Clinton- 'significant increases in financing' from Department funds and 'the patronage' of State in dealing with 'post-Soviet' countries. Clinton has not publicly responded to the charges.
And Gabbard charged former President Barack Obama with driving a 'false' narrative that Russia wanted Trump to win the election. Obama has denied this. 'The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly points to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment. There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact,' Gabbard said. She declined, when asked, to say if Obama was guilty of treason, noting she would leave decisions on criminal charges to the Department of Justice.
Gabbard has been releasing a slew of reports that claim former President Barack Obama and his administration were part of a 'treasonous conspiracy' to allege Russia interfered in the 2016 election on Trump's behalf. She claims Obama was behind a smear campaign to sew doubt about Trump's 2016 victory. 'President Obama directed an intelligence community assessment to be created to further this contrived false narrative that ultimately led to a years long coup to try to undermine President Trump's presidency,' Gabbard said.
Gabbard specifically charged Obama's CIA director John Brennan as the leading figure behind the 'conspiracy' to undermine Trump's first term. She repeatedly claimed Russia was preparing for a Clinton victory in 2016 and were preparing to release it after she won. 'They specifically withheld what they had on her, the most damning information, because they thought she would win he election. They had plans to release it, just prior to her inauguration ... to discord and chaos in America,' she said. President Trump has seized on the new information and accused his Democratic rivals of organizing a failed 'coup' in 2016. 'They tried to rig the election and they got caught and there should be really severe consequences,' he said on Tuesday.
Trump has long argued that the FBI counterintelligence probe that began during the 2016 election was the start of a 'coup' to prevent him from taking office. He also issued an extraordinary call to investigate the former president – accusing his predecessor of 'treason.' 'After what they did to me, whether it's right or wrong, it's time to go after people,' Trump said in the Oval Office on Tuesday. Obama fired back at the 'bizarre allegations' coming from Trump. His office dismissed the claims as another example of the constant 'nonsense and misinformation' that emanates out of the White House. 'Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes,' his post-presidency office said in a statement.

NATO jets scramble after Putin launches huge overnight drone attack on Ukraine

Fighter jets have been scrambled by Poland after Russia's latest blitz on Ukraine where Vladimir Putin sent a wave of kamikaze drones and rockets at Kyiv. Eight people, including a two-year-old girl, have been injured in the attacks with shrapnel wounds after a bomb hit an apartment building. Kyiv's Mayor Vitali Klitschko said that all of the people were residents of a multi-storey apartment building in the city's Darnytskyi district on the left bank of the Dnipro River. Poland said in a statement the aircraft were deployed overnight and air defence and radar reconnaissance systems were placed on high alert. It comes a week after both Poland and Sweden scrambled fighter jets after a similar attack from Russia on Ukraine. Russia has been hitting Ukraine with attacks over the past few nights with the United States accusing Moscow of dragging out the war. Putin's forces struck Ukrainian military positions in Kharkiv and Donetsk regions with giant aerial bombs on Saturday night. And the Russians were shown using Grad multiple launch rocket systems in the Krasnoarmeysk section of the frontline in Donetsk region. Separately, Moscow has issued a nuclear war warning to the West, as Putin showcased in the Baltic Sea how his new sea drones could explode NATO ships. With Trump due to discuss the Ukrainian war with UK premier Sir Keir Starmer, US secretary of state Marco Rubio told Fox News that the US president is growing 'impatient' about Putin's delaying tactics and failure to end the war. 'I think he is growing increasingly frustrated that despite having very good interaction with Vladimir Putin in phone calls, it never leads to anything so the time has come for some action here, and I think the president has made that abundantly clear,' said Rubio. 'He's losing his patience, he is losing his willingness to continue to wait for the Russian side to do something here to bring an end to this war. That wasn't his war, but he wants to see it come to an end.'

French ministers say EU-US trade deal has merits but is also unbalanced

PARIS, July 28 (Reuters) - French government ministers said a framework trade deal between the United States and European Union had some merits - such as exemptions for some key French business sectors such as spirits - but was nevertheless unbalanced. "The trade agreement negotiated by the European Commission with the United States will bring temporary stability to economic actors threatened by the escalation of American tariffs, but it is unbalanced," wrote French European Affairs Minister Benjamin Haddad on X. That view was echoed by France's industry minister Marc Ferracci, who said more talks - which could last weeks or months - would be needed before the deal could be formally concluded. Ferracci told RTL radio that more needed to be done in terms of rebalancing the EU's trade relations with the U.S. "This is not the end of the story," Ferracci told RTL.
