Former President Barack Obama denied the “bizarre allegations” of President Donald Trump that he was the “leader” of Russiagate, in a rare public declaration on Tuesday evening.

Trump, earlier on Tuesday, said former President Barack Obama was Russiagate’s “leader”, calling for his criminal investigation in the midst of new claims according to which members of his administration would have “made” information that caused the Trump-Russia collusion.

“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.”

He added: “These conclusions were confirmed in a 2020 report by the Bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by the president of the time Marco Rubio.”

Rodenbush’s declaration on behalf of Obama comes after the director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently declared documents revealing “overwhelming evidence” which claimed that after Trump had won the 2016 elections against Hillary Clinton, then the president of Obama and his national security team allegedly informed the basics of what was going to be the years.

Gabbard said the documents revealed that officials of the Obama administration “manufactured and politicized” to allegedly create the story that Russia was trying to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community indicating the opposite.

The new documents name Obama, senior officials of his national security council, director of national intelligence James Clapper, director of the CIA John Brennan, national security advisor Susan Rice, Secretary of State John Kerry, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and deputy director of FBI Andrew McCabe, among others.

Gabbard, Monday, sent a criminal reference to the Ministry of Justice linked to these conclusions. The officials of the Ministry of Justice did not share other details on which the criminal dismissal was for.

As for Gabbard’s criminal reference, Trump was asked which specific figures should be under a criminal investigation, to which he replied: “President Obama. He started it”.

“And Biden was there with him, and Comey was there, and clap, the whole group was there. Brennan. They were all there in the room here.” It was President Obama. It was a lot of people everywhere. “

No other former Obama era has responded to the Fox News Digital comments.

The president continued by saying that his administration had “all the documents, and from what Tulsi told me, she has thousands of additional documents to come”.

“So President Obama was his concept – his idea,” Trump said on Tuesday. “But he also obtained it from Croooked Hillary Clinton – Crooked as a $ 3 ticket, and Hillary Clinton and his group, the Democrats, spent 12 million dollars to Christopher Steele to write a report which was a false total report.”

Steele is the author of the Discredited Anti-Trump file, which was paid by the Clinton campaign and the National Democratic Committee by the law firm Perkins Coie.

The anti-Trump file was the basis of mandates of the law on foreign intelligence (FISA) against the former assistant of the Trump Carter Page campaign.

The intelligence community, at the time, largely considered the file as a “rumor on the internet”, but senior officials, like Comey, McCabe and Brennan, would have pushed its inclusion in the evaluation of the 2017 intelligence community.

“It took two years to understand this, but it came out that it was a fake total relationship – it was a invented fiction – and they used it,” said Trump. “The Steele report was a disaster – all lies, all manufacturing, all admitted fraud.”

Meanwhile, Trump said: “We caught Hillary Clinton, we had Barack Hussein Obama. They are them. And then you have a lot, many people under them. Susan Rice – These are all the names.”

Obama officials admitted that they had no `empirical proof ” of the collusion of Trump-Russia: the transcriptions of the Intel house

“I guess they thought they were going to put this as a classified information and that no one will ever see it again – but it doesn’t work in this way,” said Trump. “It’s the most incredible thing I think I have never read.”

Trump added: “Never a thing like this has happened in the history of our country.”

Former special lawyer Robert Mueller was appointed to resume the original FBI investigation “Crossfire Hurricane”. After almost two years, the Mueller’s investigation, which concluded in March 2019, gave no evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian officials in the 2016 presidential election.

Shortly after, John Durham was appointed special advisor to investigate the origins of the “Crossfire Hurricane” probe.

Durham found that the FBI “did not act” on a “clear warning sign” that the office was “the objective” of an effort led by Clinton to “manipulate or influence the process of applying the law for political ends” before the 2016 presidential election.

Comey and Brennan are currently under a criminal investigation, launched by the director of the FBI, Kash Patel.
