Trump says that the SCOTUS immunity decision probably helps Obama in the light of Gabbard, DNI conclusions

President Donald Trump said on Friday that former president Barack Obama “owes me” following the decision of the presidential immunity of the Supreme Court.

Trump said on Tuesday that Obama was Russiagate’s “leader”, calling for a criminal investigation in the midst of new claims that members of his administration have “made” information that caused the Trump-Russia collusion. Obama denied allegations, with a spokesperson for him describing them as “bizarre”.

“It probably helps him a lot. Probably helps a lot. The decision of immunity, but it does not help him at all. But it probably helps him a lot,” Trump said on Friday. “He has done criminal acts, there is no doubt. But he has immunity, and it probably helps him a lot … He owes me great, Obama owes me great.”

The intelligence community had no direct information that Russian president Vladimir Putin wanted to elect Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, but, in the “unusual” direction of Barack Obama of the time, the intelligence committee “potentially biased” or “incredible” suggesting the opposite, the House Intelligence Committee found, according to a report this week.

The director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard had declassified a report prepared by the Permanent Chamber Select Committee on Intelligence in 2020.

The report, which was based on an investigation launched by the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes, R-Calif., Was dated September 18, 2020. At the time of publication of the report, representative Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Was the chairman of the committee.

The Committee focused on creating the evaluation of the 2017 intelligence community, in which the director of the CIA of the time, John Brennan, put pressure for the inclusion of the anti-Trump dossier now dismissed, although it was widely based on the “Internet rumor”, as previously reported Fox News Digital.

According to the report, the ICA was a “high -level product commanded by the president, led by the senior IC agency chiefs, and created by only five CIA analysts, using a main editor”.

“The production of ICA was subject to unusual directives of the president and people appointed superior political, and in particular of DCIA,” said the report. “The project was not properly coordinated within the CIA or the CI, ensuring that it would be published without important challenges to its conclusions.”

The committee found that the five CIA analysts and write “rushed” to the production of ICA “in order to publish two weeks before the president elected Trump was sworn”.

In a statement on Tuesday, Obama denied Trump’s “bizarre allegations” that he was Russiagate’s “leader”.

“Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally worthy of the constant nonsense and the disinformation that leaves this white house with an answer,” said Obama spokesperson, Patrick Rodenbush, in a statement. “But these claims are scandalous enough to deserve one.”

“These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempted distraction,” said Obama’s spokesperson. “Nothing in the document published last week divides the conclusion widely accepted according to which Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but failed to manipulate votes.”

On Wednesday, Gabbard told “Jesse Watters” that there were “deep obstacles of the state” to the publication of his information on the Trump-Russia collusion survey and that some people in the Intelligence Community (CI) did not want her to “see the light of the day”.
