The Trump-Russia saga isn’t fading away anytime soon! In a dramatic new turn, the FBI is launching a criminal investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey for perjury related to their roles in the investigation. Tulsi Gabbard, who now holds the reins at the Intelligence Directorate, has thrown a serious wrench in the narrative, claiming some heavy hitters—including former President Barack Obama—were part of the alleged conspiracy to mislead the public about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. Talk about throwing a cat among pigeons!
Gabbard’s allegations come on the heels of a tradecraft review that looks into how these officials allegedly twisted intelligence assessments to push a narrative favoring the conclusion that Russia aimed to help Donald Trump. So, if you think the political drama couldn’t get any juicier, hold onto your hats! This story has more twists and turns than an episode of your favorite soap opera and it’s sparking debates on who can really be trusted in American politics.
What does it say about our intelligence community when it seems like some officials are playing fast and loose with their oaths?

As more details emerge, it feels like we’re just scratching the surface of a much larger story that could change the political landscape as we know it.
