Former CIA Agents Blame Obama-Era Officials For Creating Mistrust of Agency

Former CIA analysts claim the U.S. intelligence community’s credibility is further damaged by declassified documents suggesting Obama officials, including Barack Obama, James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey, misled the public about Trump-Russia collusion in 2016. Declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and sent to the Justice Department for potential criminal referrals, the documents reveal alleged politicization of intelligence, starting under Obama and continuing into Biden’s era, per the Washington Times. Gabbard claims whistleblowers are emerging, demanding justice. Analyst Fred Fleitz called it a “political game,” criticizing Brennan’s role in pushing the Steele dossier and partisan actions, which fueled Trump’s distrust. The Justice Department confirmed receipt of Gabbard’s referral.
