Tulsi Gabbard just dropped a bomb on James Clapper… It’s worse than we feared!This week, DNI Tulsi Gabbard publicly accused former DNI James Clapper of deliberately manipulating intelligence not once, but twice, in two of the most consequential lies of our lifetime.First, she says, Clapper helped “manufacture” the intelligence narrative that justified the Iraq War. That war cost over 4,000 American lives, killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, and drained trillions of dollars from our economy.
It destabilized the Middle East for decades and handed power to Iran and extremist groups.
And Tulsi says it was based on cooked intel—approved and advanced by Clapper himself when he served as head of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and later the Director of the Office of National Intelligence.
That alone should have ended his career. But in Washington, failing upward is a feature, not a bug.
Clapper didn’t stop. Years later, he became one of the key architects of the Russia collusion hoax—the false narrative that Trump was secretly working with Vladimir Putin to win the 2016 election. He appeared repeatedly on CNN, MSNBC, and other platforms claiming there was “more than circumstantial evidence” of collusion—while privately admitting under oath to Congress that he had no direct evidence whatsoever.
This lie wasn’t harmless. It paralyzed the country for three years. It triggered a $32 million Mueller investigation. It was used to justify illegal surveillance of Trump associates, secret FISA warrants, and the full weaponization of the FBI and CIA against a sitting president. It poisoned public trust in our elections and laid the groundwork for the lawfare we’re still seeing today.
Now Tulsi is blowing the whistle from inside the system. As DNI, she has access to the raw intel. She’s seen the actual source material. She’s not making vague accusations. She’s connecting the dots with firsthand knowledge—and she’s doing it on the record.
Clapper, predictably, denies everything. But this is the same man who lied under oath to Congress in 2013 when asked if the NSA was spying on millions of Americans. He said, “Not wittingly.” That was false. Edward Snowden’s leaks proved it. Clapper knew. He lied.
