M.D. Kittle writes for the Federalist about an eye-opening new poll involving Obama-era government malfeasance.
In the wake of bombshell declassified documents showing the Obama White House and deep state players manufacturing the intelligence report that jump-started the Russia collusion hoax, a new poll finds a majority of Americans believe President Barack Obama’s national security team “committed crimes.”
More than two-thirds (69%) of likely voters in a Rasmussen Report telephone and online survey said there must be consequences for crimes committed in the Russiagate scandal. The poll of 1,172 likely voters asked respondents, “Do you agree or disagree with this statement about the manipulation of intelligence in the Obama administration: ‘Accountability has to take place. … It is critical for the survival of our country that people who perpetrate such crimes are held accountable?’”
And 54 percent believe it’s likely that members of former President Barack Obama’s national security team “committed crimes” when they “manipulated and manufactured intelligence to promote a false narrative about Russia and President Donald Trump.” That number includes 37 percent who said it is very likely crimes were committed.
The poll found 41 percent who don’t think it’s likely crimes were committed by Obama administration officials, including 28 percent who say it’s “not at all likely.”The poll was released following revelations about the machinery behind the Russia collusion hoax — the debunked deep state and Democratic Party-driven narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin in the political outsider’s 2016 victory over bitter, failed Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton. Reams of classified documents unsealed and released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has shone light on deep state leaders directed by then-President Barack Obama ignoring warnings from career intelligence community professionals. The records show then-CIA Director John Brennan, DNI James Clapper, then-FBI Director James Comey and their minions instead using or manufacturing egregiously bad “evidence” in assembling the bastardized Intelligence Community Assessment that set in motion the FBI’s politically-driven “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation.
