Gabbard To Release More Obama Russiagate Files, 'Cannot Fathom' How Durham, Mueller Missed Evidence Of 'Years-Long Coup'

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says she'll release more information next week to follow up on her bombshell declassification of documents that show "overwhelming evidence" of the Obama administration laid the groundwork for the years-long Trump-Russia collusion investigation after President Trump won the 2016 election.

"We will be releasing more detailed information about how exactly this took place, and the extent to which this information was sought to be hidden from the American people, hidden from officials who would be in a position to do something about it," Gabbard told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo. "Accountability is essential for the future of our country, for the American people to have any sense of trust in the integrity of our democratic republic."

"Accountability, action, prosecution, indictments for those who are responsible for trying to steal our democracy is essential for us to make sure that this never happens to our country again," Gabbard continued.

Gabbard told host Maria Bartiromo; "I really cannot fathom" how special counsels Robert Mueller and John Durham missed evidence of this "years-long coup against President Trump."

"There is no rational or logical explanation for why they failed," she said, adding "The only logical conclusion that I can draw in this … is that there was direct intent to cover up the truth about what occurred and who was responsible and the broad network of how this seditious conspiracy was concocted and who exactly was responsible for carrying it out."

Among other things, Gabbard's team unearthed a Sept. 12, 2016 intelligence community assessment that "foreign adversaries do not have and will probably not obtain the capabilities to successfully execute widespread and undetected cyber attacks" on election systems.

At the time, Russia was being accused of setting up troll farms and hacking the DNC email servers (Seth who?).

And of course, once legitimized by the Obama administration, a steady stream of leaks suggesting that Russia was behind Trump's 2016 victory started appearing in the Washington Post and other outlets in "sweeping and systemic fashion."

Obama Judge Takes Control of Trump’s WSJ Legal Battle.

https://thenationalpulse.com/2...ps-wsj-legal-battle/

President Donald J. Trump has launched a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, its parent company News Corp, Dow Jones, and several others, alleging they published a false and defamatory report claiming he sent a sexually suggestive birthday card to deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.The lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of Florida, has been assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Darrin P. Gayles.

Judge Gayles was trumpeted by the left as the first openly gay black man confirmed to the federal bench when then-President Barack Obama appointed him in 2014.Trump accuses the WSJ of fabricating the story and failing to present any legitimate proof, such as the alleged letter or evidence confirming he wrote it. “The reason for those failures is because no authentic letter or drawing exists,” Trump’s legal team argues in the complaint.

The suit also names high-profile defendants, including media mogul Rupert Murdoch, News Corp CEO Robert Thomson, publisher Dow Jones, and the two journalists responsible for the article. Trump’s lawyers allege the report was crafted with the intent to harm his reputation.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a blow to hopes from conservatives that the former president would face severe consequences for allegedly overseeing an attempt to delegitimize the Trump presidency, Barack Obama argued that he can't be charged with treason since he wasn't born in America and isn't a legitimate American citizen.

Republicans acknowledged that they could be left without any legal recourse after President Obama absolved himself of any potential treason charge by reminding everyone that he couldn't face any consequences since he was never a citizen to begin with.

"I can't commit treason against America if I was never an American," Obama said confidently in a brief statement to reporters. "The Republicans have been cooking up wild schemes for years to try to hold me accountable for crimes against the United States. Unfortunately, as someone who was not born in America, I cannot be held to that standard. Nice try, but it won't work. Back to the drawing board."

Constitutional scholars agreed that Obama's defense was airtight. "It's an open and shut case," one expert said. "You can't hold someone accountable for betraying their allegiance to a country if they never had any allegiance to that country in the first place. It's a pretty genius move by President Obama here. Almost as genius as falsifying his birth certificate to get illegitimately elected president."

At publishing time, Obama and his legal counsel clarified that any and all illegal activity and wrongdoing committed during his presidency was exempt from legal penalty due to the fact that he was never legally president.

Foxnews.com: T]rump pulls US out of UN agency over its backing of 'woke' social causes

State Department declares UNESCO membership 'not in the national interest' of the United States
Rachel Wolf By Rachel Wolf Fox News
Published July 22, 2025 8:46am EDT

The Trump administration announced Tuesday that the United States will exit the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

"President Donald Trump has decided to withdraw the United States from UNESCO – which supports woke, divisive cultural and social causes that are totally out-of-step with the commonsense policies that Americans voted for in November. This president will always put America First and ensure our country’s membership in all international organizations aligns with our national interests," White House Deputy Spokesperson Anna Kelly said on Tuesday.

"The U.S. continues to demonstrate moral clarity in the international arena and when it comes to its involvement and financial investments in international organizations, and makes it clear that it is unwilling to support entities that promote hatred, historical revisionism, and political divisiveness over advancing shared universal values," Israeli U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon said in a statement.

Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa'ar also commended the decision, which he said "is a necessary step, designed to promote justice and Israel's right to fair treatment in the U.N. system, a right which has often been trampled due to politicization in this arena."

"Singling out Israel and politicization by member states must end, in this and all professional U.N. agencies," Sa'ar added.

The move comes as the administration continues to make waves in the international community, and in particular at the U.N. The U.S.- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has drawn the ire of the U.N. and other international bodies.

Additionally, Secretary-General António Guterres has expressed his concerns about the Trump administration's foreign aid cuts, which he said would be "especially devastating" to the world's vulnerable populations, according to Reuters.

State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said in a statement on the exit that "continued involvement with UNESCO is not in the national interest of the United States."

"UNESCO works to advance divisive social and cultural causes and maintains an outsized focus on the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals, a globalist, ideological agenda for international development at odds with our America First foreign policy," the statement read. "UNESCO’s decision to admit the ‘State of Palestine’ as a Member State is highly problematic, contrary to U.S. policy, and contributed to the proliferation of anti-Israel rhetoric within the organization."

Trump withdrew the U.S. from UNESCO in October 2017, during his first term, but former President Joe Biden had the country rejoin the agency in 2023. In 2017, the State Department said the U.S. was withdrawing from the agency for very similar reasons, suggesting UNESCO has not sufficiently fixed the issues at the center of the Trump administration's concerns.

^^^^^
A VERY good decision!

There’s going to be a lot of bitching and moaning from the libs!

More winning.

FIRST ON FOX: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed to Fox News that it has arrested a lawful permanent U.S. resident for alleged crimes related to Haitian gang activity and immigration fraud.

"On July 17, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations arrested Pierre Reginald Boulos, a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. and citizen of Haiti, for violating the Immigration and Nationality Act contributing to the destabilization of Haiti," ICE told Fox.

Boulos is accused of contributing to violence and gang support in Haiti, which ICE says destabilized the country and could have "serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States."

"The Department of State has determined that certain individuals with U.S. lawful permanent resident status have supported and collaborated with Haitian gang leaders connected to Viv Ansanm, a Haitian foreign terrorist organization," a release from ICE stated. "The United States will not allow individuals to enjoy the benefits of legal status in our country while they are facilitating the actions of violent organizations or supporting criminal terrorist organizations abroad."

The federal agency also said that Boulos failed to mention his involvement in founding a political party in Haiti called Mouvement pour la Transformation et la Valorisation d'Haiti (MTVAyiti), and that he was referred by the Haitian government's Unit for the Fight Against Corruption for allegedly misusing loans.

Those omissions, according to ICE, can constitute immigration fraud and justify his deportation.

US Reaches Trade Deals With Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines

‘We just completed a massive Deal with Japan, perhaps the largest Deal ever made,’ Trump said.

The United States has reached trade agreements with Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on social media.

With the Aug. 1 deadline approaching, the administration is reaching new deals. On Tuesday, Trump announced one of the largest of these deals, a trade agreement with Japan.

“We just completed a massive Deal with Japan, perhaps the largest Deal ever made,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

According to Trump, as part of the deal, Japan will open to U.S. trade on items like cars and trucks, rice and other agricultural products, “and other things.” The nation will also pay reciprocal tariffs to the United States at a rate of 15 percent.

Japan will invest $550 billion in the United States, “which will receive 90% of the Profits” from those investments, Trump said.

“This Deal will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs—There has never been anything like it,” he wrote.

“This is a very exciting time for the United States of America, and especially for the fact that we will continue to always have a great relationship with the Country of Japan,” Trump said.

Earlier on Tuesday, following through on last week’s announcement, Trump confirmed the details of the U.S.–Indonesia trade agreement.

Terms of the deal would see Indonesia lower tariffs to zero percent on 99 percent of U.S. exports and eliminate non-tariff barriers, the president said in a July 22 Truth Social post.

Indonesian products entering the United States would be subject to a reciprocal tariff rate of 19 percent, down from the previously announced blanket rate of 32 percent.

Indonesia will also supply the United States with precious critical minerals and purchase American farm products, energy, and Boeing aircraft.

“This deal is a huge win for our automakers, tech companies, workers, farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers,” Trump said.

The announcement came hours after Trump and the Philippines struck a trade and military deal during a meeting between Trump and Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at the White House.
It also removes import restrictions and licensing agreements and establishes measures to resolve long-standing intellectual property issues. The two sides will further finalize commitments on digital trade, services, and investment.

Indonesia will, as part of the trade deal, implement a ban on forced labor imports and eliminate rules that restrict workers’ and unions’ freedom of association and collective bargaining rights.

The U.S.–Indonesian trade agreement is projected to be worth approximately $50 billion to the United States, the White House confirmed.

Leaders from Indonesia agreed to several significant commitments, including the removal of pre-shipment inspections, exemption from local content requirements for U.S. firms, and acceptance of U.S. federal motor vehicle safety standards.

Additionally, the deal will include transshipment rules to ensure that China does not exploit the agreement’s benefits.

According to the White House, transshipped goods with high levels of content from nations with higher tariff rates would face a 40 percent levy.

Many of the provisions resolve grievances outlined in the National Trade Estimate Report, released by the U.S. Trade Representative’s Office in March.
If Indonesia does not adhere to the agreement’s conditions, U.S. officials say, the president possesses the authority to modify the deal, including tariffs.

Senior administration officials say that the deal aims to strike a balance in trade and enhance U.S. access to the Indonesian market.

“We’re trying to improve the terms of trade so we can eliminate the trade deficit,” they told reporters on a press call.

Last year, the U.S. goods trade deficit with Indonesia was $17.9 billion, representing an increase of more than 5 percent from 2023.

US Finalizing Deal With the Philippines

The latest details of the U.S.–Indonesia trade agreement come as Trump confirmed that the Philippines is next in line to finalize a deal.
After welcoming Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to the White House on July 22, Trump announced on Truth Social that the Southeast Asian country will open its market to U.S. products with zero percent tariffs. In exchange, Filipino exports to the United States will face a 19 percent levy, slightly lower than the 20 percent proposed in Trump’s letter earlier this month.
“It was a great honor to be with the president. He is highly respected in his country, as he should be. He is also a very good, and tough, negotiator. We extend our warmest regards to the wonderful people of the Philippines!” Trump wrote on his social media platform.

The deals with Indonesia and the Philippines mark the second and third deals between the United States and its trading partners after Trump sent letters to dozens of countries ahead of the Aug. 1 deadline.

Next Up: China

Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated on July 22 that the Aug. 12 trade deadline with China is likely to be extended.
“I think trade is in a very good place with China,” Bessent said in an interview with Fox Business.
“So I think we’ve actually moved to a new level with China, where it’s very constructive,” he continued. “We’re going to be able to get a lot of things done, now that trade has kind of settled in at a good level.”

Bessent also noted that the administration wants to discuss sanctioned Iranian and Russian crude oil and slow the “glut of manufacturing that they’re doing and concentrate on building a consumer economy.”

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson confirmed on X that his country would host the next round of negotiations between the world’s two largest economies.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, speaking with CBS’s “Face the Nation” on July 20, stated that the United States plans to impose a baseline 10 percent tariff on small countries in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa.

Bigger economies “will either open themselves up or they'll pay a fair tariff to America,” Lutnick said.

He noted that Aug. 1 was a hard deadline.

Now maybe Korea with a similar deal.
