| 0:00.0 | Good evening. It's Tuesday, August 5th. Welcome to a new episode of System Update, our live nightly show that airs every Monday through Friday, every single Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern exclusively here on Rumble, the free speech alternative to YouTube. |
| 0:30.8 | Tonight, the Russiagate fraud is receiving all sorts of new attention and scrutiny thanks to documents first declassified |
| 0:38.1 | and then released by Trump Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. |
| 0:41.9 | As we reported at length last week, these documents are quite incriminating for various |
| 0:46.6 | Obama officials, such as former CIA director James Clapper, FBI director, former |
| 0:52.4 | CIA director Jim Brennan, I should say. |
| 0:55.0 | John Brennan, I don't know why my brain did that. |
| 0:57.2 | FBI director Jim Comey and director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, |

| 1:39.3 | prosecutable criminality at the highest levels of the Obama administration. |
| 1:43.3 | This in turn has |
| 1:45.1 | predictably provoked shrill objections from the same media outlets which worked in partnership |
| 1:49.8 | with the CIA and the FBI to disseminate this hoax as they all come forward to insist that this is |
| 1:56.0 | nothing more than a case, a political retribution, more appropriate to what they call a banana republic rather than in |
| 2:01.9 | advanced democracy. Does that claim have any validity at all, or is this just an attempt to shield |
| 2:08.2 | their political allies at CIA and FBI and in the Obama White House from accountability? |
