Whoa: DNI Gabbard Reveals Intelligence Community Conspiracy That Led to Trump’s 2019 Impeachment

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents Monday that she says show the intelligence community, along with certain Democrat congresscritters — think California Sen. Adam Schiff (a representative at the time) and House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (CA ‑11) — used to justify the ludicrous 2019 impeachment effort of Donald Trump.

Democrats incredibly tried to take down a sitting president over a phone call because they alleged that Trump had requested Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky look into Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, who had been conducting suspicious business activity in the Eastern European country. They further charged that Trump used presidential power to unlawfully pressure the Ukrainians.

Gabbard says the new documents show that the case was manufactured.

In her tweet, she points readers to a lengthy press release on the official ODNI webpage that goes into more detail on the efforts to convict a duly-elected president, and she pointed the finger directly at former Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (ICIG) Michael Atkinson, who Trump fired in 2020:

During his preliminary investigation into President Trump’s July 2019 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, former IC IG Michael Atkinson did not follow standard IG procedures and relied upon politicized, manufactured narratives – only conducting interviews with four individuals: the Whistleblower, the Whistleblower’s friend who was a co-author of the January 2017 Russia Hoax Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) and close colleague of disgraced former FBI Agent Peter Strzok, and two character references who had zero firsthand knowledge of the July 2019 phone call.

Ah, yes, Peter Strzok, the slippery former FBI agent who was a foaming-at-the-mouth Trump Hater. Gabbard had more:

Despite a lack of any firsthand evidence, IC IG Atkinson proceeded to take actions to weaponize the Whistleblower process and exceed his statutory jurisdiction by ignoring Department of Justice guidance and relying on only second-hand testimony to ensure the whistleblower complaint was released to Congress, referred to the FBI, and leaked to the propaganda media.

Then-House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) Chairman Adam Schiff and then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi used this false, second-hand narrative to create media intrigue and ultimately spark the basis to impeach President Trump in December of 2019.

Minnesota Freedom Caucus Announces Impeachment Hearings for Tim Walz and Keith Ellison Will Take Place Next Week

The Minnesota Freedom Caucus announced that impeachment hearings for Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison will take place next week.

Dustin Grage from Townhall reported:

The hearing is scheduled for Wednesday April 15th, at 10:15 AM in the State Capitol.

Articles of impeachment were filed against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for “corrupt” conduct in office back in January 12, 2026.

The resolution accuses Walz of violating his constitutional oath by engaging in corrupt conduct and failing to faithfully execute state laws.

Heritage reported that Federal prosecutors estimate that fraud in Minnesota-administered social services programs (mostly Medicaid and related aid) since 2018 could total $9 billion or more—roughly half or more of the $18 billion billed across 14 “high-risk” programs.

Trump faces impeachment push over Iran conflict

Democratic congressman John Larson has filed articles of impeachment against US President Donald Trump over his actions connected with the Iran war. 

Larson, a Connecticut Democrat, said on Tuesday he had filed 13 charges, accusing Trump of waging an “illegal war” and escalating threats against Iran that endangered US security and American lives. He added that Trump is becoming “more unhinged” and “more unstable by the day.”

“Donald Trump has blown past every requirement to be removed from office. And it’s getting worse,” Larson said in a statement.

Larson also pointed to threats, including “open the Strait … or you’ll be living in hell,” saying such remarks “foreshadow war crimes.” He said Trump was “unable or unwilling” to faithfully execute his duties.

White House urges news orgs to “ramp up scrutiny” of Biden impeachment efforts

The White House on Wednesday emailed the leaders of several major news organizations, including Axios, arguing the media needs to “ramp up its scrutiny” of House Republicans’ efforts to impeach President Biden.

Why it matters: The White House argues that the media’s reporting about incremental updates on the impeachment inquiry process over the substance of the inquiry “is woefully inadequate when it comes to something as historically grave as impeachment.”

Catch up quick: The letter follows an announcement from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday in which he declared he would direct House committees to open an impeachment inquiry into President Biden.

  • The move is a reversal of McCarthy’s previous remarks that a probe could only be launched with a House vote.

It Sure Looks Like the House Impeachment Team Doctored Evidence

The House Impeachment team is being accused of doctoring evidence amid recent revelations involving a presentation by Rep. Eric Swalwell at Donald Trump’s Senate trial.

The allegation stems from a tweet by Jennifer Lynn Lawrence which was used by Democrats to allege she was calling for an insurrection. In reality, Lawerence says the tweet was a reference to a prayer vigil and had nothing to do with the violence at the Capitol.

She also makes another, perhaps even more damning charge that appears to be completely backed up by the facts. Namely, that the House impeachment team doctored her tweet.

Impeachment Democrats, Outraged Over Donald Trump’s ‘Fight Like Hell’ Rhetoric, Used Same Slogan

House Democrats Wednesday featured President Donald Trump’s call for supporters to “fight like hell” to protest the results of the 2020 election during the Senate impeachment trial.

“He told them to fight like hell and they brought us hell on that day,” Rep. Jamie Raskin said, kicking off a series of dramatic speeches by House Democrats about how Trump’s rhetoric sparked the violent riots on Capitol Hill.

“He was saying anything he could to trigger and anger his base so that they would fight like hell to overturn a legitimate election,” said Rep. Eric Swalwell during the hearing.

But some of the Democrats speaking during the trial, including Rep. Ted Lieu, Swalwell, and Raskin, have a history of using the same slogan on social media or in television appearances.
