1:06:38Now PlayingEarlier this month, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, declassified more than a hundred pages of documents revealing how America’s spies assessed Russian election interference in the final months of the 2016 election. Gabbard says that the new release “clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government.” She has recommended that the Justice Department investigate and prosecute this alleged conspiracy.
Last week, Eli Lake published a piece in The Free Press with his take on the matter: While Russiagate was a real scandal, none of the evidence Gabbard has produced proves her “treasonous conspiracy” accusation.
Today, The Free Press published two more points of view on the new Russiagate revelations, including a piece from Josh Hammer. Josh argues that the documents Gabbard released are, in fact, revelatory and damning for President Obama and his administration.
This morning, we are going to debate: Are the DNI’s newly released documents a bombshell or a nothingburger?
