Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed in a recent interview that Russian operatives believed Hillary Clinton’s 2016 victory was “inevitable” — and withheld compromising information on her mental health to unleash political chaos after her assumed inauguration.

Speaking with New York Post columnist Miranda Devine on the “Pod Force One” podcast — set to air Wednesday — Gabbard dismantled the long-pushed liberal narrative that Russia’s goal was to elect Donald Trump.

“As we’ve learned in later documents that we’ve reviewed throughout that campaign, Russia believed that Hillary Clinton would win the election,” Gabbard explained. “They felt it was inevitable.”

Her comments come amid renewed scrutiny over the origins of the Russiagate hoax and revelations that damaging intelligence on Clinton was deliberately hidden from the American public.

Russia was accused of hacking Democratic Party emails during the 2016 cycle. A July memo from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) claimed, “supporting evidence [indicates] the Russian government directed hacking of the DNC and the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee].” But as Gabbard noted, if Russia’s true intent had been to boost Trump, they would have released their most damning material before the election.

“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,” she said.

Gabbard referred to a 2020 House Intelligence Committee report that disclosed Russia had acquired information suggesting Clinton was being treated with “heavy tranquilizers” for “intensified psycho-emotional problems, including uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness.”

“It was intentionally withheld and not released because they assumed that Hillary Clinton would win that election,” Gabbard said, alleging a plan to time the release for maximum disruption, “maybe days or weeks before her inauguration.”

During a July White House press briefing, Gabbard announced that her office had submitted referrals to the Department of Justice following the review of ODNI documents.

“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,” she told the Post, calling it a “yearslong coup.”

In response to these bombshell findings, Attorney General Pam Bondi has initiated a grand jury investigation into potential criminal conspiracy tied to the Russiagate scandal.

Fox News broke the story, with correspondent David Spunt reporting Monday:

“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.”

Spunt further noted that Bondi is “taking the referrals from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard very seriously,” with a DOJ spokesperson adding that the AG sees “clear cause for deep concern.”

The grand jury development follows Gabbard’s referral alleging a coordinated plot to delegitimize President Trump’s victory and sabotage his first term — a move that now faces long-overdue legal reckoning.
