Across the failing legacy media landscape, there was near-total silence on Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s explosive declassification of documents exposing the deep-state conspiracy behind the Russia Hoax—a plot designed to sabotage President Donald Trump from day one. The only acknowledgment came from CBS’s Margaret Brennan, who didn’t bother to examine the damning evidence but instead hosted ranking House Intel Democrat Jim Himes (D-CT) to spin, deflect, and outright lie about the revelations.

Brennan set the stage with a misleading “statement of fact,” parroting the debunked narrative that a “bipartisan” Senate Intel report somehow vindicated the Russia collusion hoax. She then allowed Himes to launch into an unhinged rant, dismissing Gabbard’s lawful referrals for prosecution as “dangerous lies” and fearmongering about “MAGA mouth-breathers” instead of addressing the evidence.
Here’s the key exchange:
MARGARET BRENNAN: “Congressman, I want to pick up on that topic. Just a statement of fact here: A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee investigation found that the US intelligence community’s assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election was correct… Is there any legal basis for any kind of prosecution here?”
HIMES: “None, absolutely none… What you saw from the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was not just a lie, but a very dangerous lie… The intelligence community is full of very good people who do their jobs every single day, and now they’re watching their leader do something that each and every one of them knows is dishonest.”
Himes’ theatrics were nothing more than a desperate attempt to distract from the truth: high-ranking Obama-era officials weaponized the intelligence apparatus to frame Trump, spy on his campaign, and undermine his presidency. The Durham Report already exposed the FBI’s malfeasance, and now Gabbard’s document drop confirms the corruption went all the way to the top.
Brennan and Himes deliberately conflated Russian interference (which was minimal and had no impact on voting systems) with the false claim of Trump-Russia collusion—the real hoax that fueled years of investigations, impeachment attempts, and media hysteria. The Mueller Report found no collusion, yet the left still clings to its debunked narrative.

Instead of reporting on the substance of Gabbard’s findings—including whistleblower testimonies—Brennan let Himes pivot to mocking the idea of prosecuting Obama for treason. Their goal? To preemptively discredit any legal consequences for the architects of this seditious plot.
This is the same media that spent years peddling the Steele Dossier, ignoring Hunter Biden’s laptop, and smearing Trump as a Russian asset. Now, as the truth comes out, they’re scrambling to protect their allies in the deep state.
But the American people aren’t fooled. President Trump’s administration, with leaders like Gabbard, is finally holding the swamp accountable. The left’s panic is proof: justice is coming.
