Gabbard Names Hillary Clinton In Another 'Russigate' Stunner

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard stated that Russia sought to sow chaos during the 2016 election and had anticipated 
a Hillary Clinton victory, according to an interview published Sunday by the New York Post.

Gabbard shared her assessment during a conversation with the Post's Miranda Devine on the "Pod Force One" podcast, set to be 
released Wednesday.

"As we've learned in later documents that we've reviewed throughout that campaign, RUSSIA BELIEVED THAT HILLARY CLINTON WOULD WIN 
THE ELECTION," Gabbard said. "They felt it was inevitable."

Russia was accused of hacking the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) emails in 2016, and an ODNI memo released in July stated, 
"supporting evidence the Russian government directed hacking of the DNC and the ."

In the interview, Gabbard questioned why the Kremlin would have waited until after the election to release damaging information 
about Hillary Clinton if their primary goal was to see Donald Trump elected.

She referred to a recently published 2020 House Intelligence Committee report, which revealed Russia potentially had intelligence 
demonstrating Clinton was using "heavy tranquilizers" to address "intensified psycho-emotional problems, including uncontrolled 
fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness."

Gabbard then openly questioned why that report wasn't publicly released.

"If Russia aspired to help Trump get elected, which is what the manufactured January 2017 intelligence community assessment says 
with high confidence, according to Brennan and Clapper, then Putin would have released the most damaging information and emails to 
help President Trump," Gabbard told Devine.

Regarding the House report, Gabbard said the information "was intentionally withheld and not released because they assumed that 
Hillary Clinton would win that election, and their plan wait until maybe days or weeks before her inauguration to release these 
documents."

Gabbard also addressed additional details uncovered through documents released by her office in July. "It surprised me that all of 
these documents still existed, quite frankly," Gabbard told the New York Post.

Gabbard announced during a White House press briefing in July that she had submitted referrals to the Department of Justice (DOJ) 
based on findings from the Office of the ODNI.

"What we now know came from President Obama was a covert mission, essentially, to subvert the will of the American people, create 
this lie that would challenge the legitimacy of President Trump's election and the four years of his administration, resulting and 
affecting in what was truly a yearslong coup," Gabbard told The Post.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered a grand jury to look into allegations of a criminal conspiracy surrounding the 'Russiagate' 
investigation following Gabbard's referrals.

Fox News was the first to report on Bondi's move.

"Fox News can confirm that Attorney General Pam Bondi today signed an order directing an unnamed U.S. federal prosecutor to take 
evidence to a grand jury relating to an alleged conspiracy to tie then 2016 candidate Donald Trump to the country of Russia," 
network correspondent David Spunt told host Will Cain on Monday.

"Now, Fox News reviewed the one-page order just hours ago, signed by the Attorney General. A source familiar with the probe 
confirms this as well. While a DoJ spokesperson declined to comment on this report of an investigation, Fox is told Attorney 
General Bondi is taking the referrals from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard 'very seriously,'" Spunt said.

"The spokesperson says that Bondi believes there is 'clear cause for deep concern' and a need for the next steps. Now, this move, 
Will, comes just a couple of weeks after the Director of National Intelligence - you see her right there - Tulsi Gabbard sent a 
criminal referral to the Justice Department regarding what she says proves there was a conspiracy to undermine Trump's candidacy 
and later his first term in office," the correspondent continued.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
