The Department of Justice has confirmed that they’ve received a criminal referral from DNI Tulsi Gabbard on the document dump showing that Obama and his cabinet members manipulated intelligence to suggest Russia was trying to influence the 2016 election in order to target Trump, when it was actually not true at all.

Here’s more from Fox News:

The Department of Justice confirmed Monday that it has received Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s criminal referral related to her bombshell claims that Obama-era officials “manufactured and politicized intelligence” to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, Fox News has confirmed.

The Department of Justice declined further comment, but confirmed to Fox News that the department received the referral.

Gabbard released unclassified documents Friday that reportedly show “overwhelming evidence” that then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the yearslong Trump–Russia collusion probe after Trump’s election win against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016.

“Their goal was to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the American people. No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The integrity of our democratic republic depends on it. We are turning over all documents to the DOJ for criminal referral,” Gabbard had posted to X of the criminal referral Friday.

I seriously doubt much will come of this, but I hold out hope that I am wrong.
