Democrat panic is reaching a boiling point.
Democrat Congressman Jim Himes (D-CT), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, went into full-blown panic mode, demanding that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard stop releasing documents that expose Obama-era Deep State collusion and abuse of power.
Gabbard’s move follows a stunning declassification of documents that expose how Barack Obama’s intelligence cronies — including John Brennan — used Hillary Clinton’s phony Russia dossier to frame Trump and orchestrate an illegal coup attempt.
But Rep. Himes doesn’t want the truth to see daylight.
In a truly unhinged interview, Himes lashed out at Gabbard, accusing her of spreading a “dangerous lie” and warning that Brennan’s life could be in danger from “MAGA mouth breathers.”

MARGARET BRENNAN: We are continuing our conversation now with Connecticut Congressman Jim Himes, who is the ranking member on the Intelligence Committee. Congressman, I want to pick up on that topic. Just a statement of fact here: A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee investigation found that the US intelligence community assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election was correct.
They deemed it to be so on a bipartisan basis. I’m saying that because today and yesterday, the director of the intelligence community, Tulsi Gabbard, has said that she is referring for prosecution former American officials she accused of treasonous conspiracy, a years-long coup against President Trump, because they assessed Russia had tried to influence the election. This is weeks after the CIA Director issued a report critiquing the tradecraft that went into that 2016 assessment. Is there any legal basis for any kind of prosecution here?
REP. HIMES: None, absolutely none. Margaret, what you saw from the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was not just a lie, but a very dangerous lie, because when you start throwing around language like sedition and treason, somebody is going to get hurt. Now, you pointed out that the Senate committee, then led by Marco Rubio, a Republican and now Secretary of State, found unanimously that Russia meddled in the election to try to assist Donald Trump.
John Durham, special counsel appointed by Donald Trump, investigated this, found that the Senate report was correct. Now, what Tulsi is doing it’s a little sleight of hand, but it’s worth focusing on. She is saying that the Intelligence Committee, early on, said that the Russians could not use cyber tools to mess with the voting infrastructure, the machines that tally our votes.
And that was true then, and it is true now, though the Russians tried to break into a couple of states, you know, election technical infrastructure. They didn’t do it, but it is well known and well established that the Russians hacked into the DNC and undertook any number of other influence operations, including buying reams of Facebook ads to discredit Hillary Clinton. That is not in contention, right? And what is horrifying about this whole lie out of Gabbard is, number one, it puts people at risk.
And right now, you know, the mouth-breathers on MAGA online are just going out of their minds based on a lie. And number two, the intelligence community is full of very, good people who do their jobs every single day, and now they’re watching their leader do something that each and every one of them knows is dishonest and it is a really, really bad thing for the safety and security of the American people when that dynamic is- is out there.
MARGARET BRENNAN: That Senate report is online, the findings are there, but I understand your distinction there, and it’s an important one in influence versus physical hacking. You’re–
REP. HIMES: — By- by the way Margaret, if I may- if I may, you asked about the referral. Here’s the test. This is Epstein all over again. Criminal referrals. We’re going to prosecute Barack Obama, you know, treasonous and seditious. Here’s the thing, and I hope that 4, 5, 6, weeks from now- don’t take it from this Democrat. 4,5,6, weeks from now, let’s see if this administration, Tulsi Gabbard, accusing a former president of treason.
Let’s see if they bring charges. They won’t. They won’t, because there’s not a judge in the land, not a single judge who will treat this with anything other than laughter that will be heard from the Atlantic to the Pacific in this country. So the test of this is 4,5,6 weeks from now, is the DOJ bringing charges? And the answer to that is no. And now we’re going to be in Epstein world.
We’re like, wait a minute, treasonous conspiracy by a former president. Why isn’t the Department of Justice bringing charges? And the answer to that question is that it is a lie.
