REPORT: Russia sat on intel about Hillary Clinton drug use amid 2016 election

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard and been rocking the Democratic Party over the last few days.

She hit liberals again on Wednesday, making a major announcement about Hillary Clinton.

According to Gabbard, back in 2016, the Russians had intelligence that would have likely ended Clinton's campaign, but they kept it quiet for later use, a fact that underminds the eventual narrative from then-CIA Director John Brennan that Trump was Russia’s preferred candidate.

The Brennan narrative

If you recall, the big narrative put out by Hillary Clinton during and after the 2016 election was that Trump was the Russians' preferred candidate, which is why Democrats claimed that the Kremlin was attempting to influence the outcome.

New information released by the DNI tells a far different story, lending further credence to the idea that Democrats completely invented the Russiagate narrative.

Gabbard previously announced that while the information used by the Democrats was known to be less than credible, the powers that be, including then-President Barack Obama, pushed the narrative that Trump was colluding with Russia.

The report stated, "Production of the ICA was subject to unusual directives from the President and senior political appointees, and particularly DCIA. The draft was not properly coordinated within CIA or the IC, ensuring it would be published without significant challenges to its conclusions."

Russian intel

As big as last week's announcements were regarding Russiagate, the information released on Wednesday was even bigger, showing that the Russians and DNC leadership knew that Hillary Clinton was using strong tranquilizers on a regular basis.

The report stated, "Clinton was suffering from ‘intensified psycho-emotional problems, including uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness.'"

It continued, "Clinton was placed on a daily regimen of ‘heavy tranquilizers’ and while afraid of losing, she remained ‘obsessed with a thirst for power.’"

The report further stated, "As of September 2016, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service had DNC information that President Obama and Party leaders found the state of Secretary Clinton’s health to be ‘extraordinarily alarming,’ and felt it could have ‘serious negative impact’ on her election prospects. Her health information was being kept in ‘strictest secrecy’ and even close advisors were not being fully informed."

Bring them in

This latest bombshell could be interesting if reports coming from the U.S. House are accurate, suggesting that Bill and Hillary Clinton could be subpoenaed to discuss the Epstein documents.

Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) stated, "I have a motion to subpoena the following individuals to expand the full committees investigation into Miss Maxwell – and the list reads as follows: William Jefferson Clinton, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, James Brian Comey, Loretta Elizabeth Lynch, Eric Hampton Holder, Jr., Merrick Brian Garland, Robert Swan Mueller III, William Pelham Barr, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions the third, and Alberto Gonzales. That's the full list, Mr. Chairman. And that's the motion.”

Now, as we have seen in the past, these hearings will often go off the rails in terms of the questions asked, so while I am sure that Hillary and Bill will get hit hard on Jeffrey Epstein, this latest report from the DNI would also likely be explored.

Hillary, of course, can exercise her Fifth Amendment rights, or she can be outraged and deny everything, but the key to that is that she would be under oath. And if she does decide to deny allegations, and the facts prove otherwise, she could then be charged with contempt and/or perjury for having lied under oath.
