Deep State Exposed: DNI Tulsi Gabbard Drops the Receipts on the Coordinated Hit Job That Tried to Steal Trump’s First Term

Posted on by Bill McCarthy

Folks, the mask is off. Yesterday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released never-before-seen declassified documents that lay bare the raw mechanics of the Deep State’s playbook: manufacture a phony narrative inside the Intelligence Community, hand it to compliant Democrats in Congress, and watch them impeach a duly elected president on fabricated grounds. This isn’t speculation or partisan spin. These are the actual transcripts and records showing how elements of the IC, including former Inspector General Michael Atkinson, pushed a secondhand “whistleblower” complaint built on hearsay from a guy tied to Joe Biden’s Ukraine dealings. The goal? Usurp the will of the American people and remove Donald Trump from office.

Gabbard put it plainly: “Deep state actors within the Intelligence Community concocted a false narrative that was used by Congress to usurp the will of the American people and impeach the duly-elected President of the United States.” And she’s right. The 2019 impeachment wasn’t about a phone call with Ukraine. It was the culmination of years of weaponization that started the moment Trump won in 2016. These fresh documents prove the IC didn’t just sit back—they actively advanced a cooked-up story, politicized the whistleblower process, and coordinated with a former CIA employee who was working hand-in-glove with Democrats on the Hill.

This release comes on the heels of Gabbard’s earlier bombshells from 2025, where she declassified materials showing Obama-era officials directed the creation of an Intelligence Community Assessment they knew was false—pushing the Russia collusion hoax to undermine Trump’s victory and presidency. She called it a “years-long coup and treasonous conspiracy against the American people” and sent criminal referrals to the DOJ. The pattern is unmistakable: from the Russia hoax through the Ukraine impeachment, the same players used the same dirty tricks to target the outsider who threatened their power.

How the Deep State Machine Worked: Lie, Leak, Impeach

The newly released transcripts from closed-door House Intelligence Committee hearings reveal the rot in detail. Atkinson and others treated flimsy, secondhand information as credible gospel. They ignored basic tradecraft standards. They suppressed contrary evidence. All while a former CIA operative fed the narrative straight to congressional Democrats. This wasn’t oversight. It was a hit job disguised as official process.

Remember the timeline. Trump wins in 2016. The IC spins up the Russia collusion fairy tale, leaks it relentlessly, and uses it to justify investigations that crippled his first term. When that didn’t work, they manufactured the Ukraine “quid pro quo” out of thin air—again relying on biased sources with clear conflicts. The documents Gabbard just dropped confirm the coordination: IC insiders shaping the complaint, Democrats on the Hill weaponizing it, and the media acting as the willing amplifier. The result was the first impeachment of a president for doing his job—pressuring a corrupt foreign government to clean up its act while our own border and economy suffered.

This is the Deep State in action. Not some shadowy cabal in tinfoil hats, but real bureaucrats in Langley and the ICIG’s office who view the elected president as the real threat. They broke their oaths, politicized intelligence, and tried to nullify an election. Gabbard’s releases—both the 2019 impeachment files and the earlier Russia hoax materials—show exactly how they did it: suppress dissenting intel, inflate shaky sources, and hand the product to partisan allies.

What This Means for America First

President Trump put Tulsi Gabbard in that job for a reason: drain the swamp at the top of the intelligence apparatus. She’s already axed radical DEI nonsense, revoked clearances from bad actors who betrayed the public trust, fired politicized holdovers, and launched reviews to root out waste and weaponization. These document dumps are part of that mandate—restoring trust by showing the public the truth the previous regime hid.

The left is predictably melting down, calling it revisionism or conspiracy theory. They always do when the receipts come out. But the American people aren’t stupid. They lived through the Russia hoax, the Mueller sideshow, the two impeachments, and the endless lawfare. They know who tried to steal the country from them.

Gabbard’s actions send a clear message: the era of the Intelligence Community operating as an unaccountable deep state is over. No more manufacturing narratives to target political enemies. No more hiding behind classified stamps to protect the guilty. Transparency and accountability are back.

This conspiracy didn’t start in 2019. It started the night Trump won in 2016, and it continued through every dirty trick until the voters delivered a decisive rebuke in 2024. Now, with the documents public, the DOJ has what it needs to pursue real accountability. The Deep State tried to rig the game. They got caught. And thanks to DNI Gabbard and President Trump, the American people finally get to see the full extent of the rot.

The fight isn’t over, but the tide has turned. America elected leaders who put the country first, not the permanent bureaucracy. These releases prove why that matters. The conspiracy is exposed. Justice can follow. And the Republic gets another chance to function as the Founders intended—where the people, not the unelected spies and their congressional enablers, decide who leads.
