Trump's vigorous pursuit of the 'Russia-gate' involving Obama provides a suitable target for his MAGA supporters associated with Epstein. Here's why Trump might struggle to fulfill his promise regarding this matter.
In a recent development, Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman, is leading a review for the White House on alleged manipulation of intelligence assessments during the Barack Obama administration. The implications, according to Gabbard, have to do with the integrity of the democratic republic.
The review suggests that former President Barack Obama and top officials knowingly changed official intelligence assessments to forge a link between then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russia. However, it's important to note that no person has filed charges of conspiracy against civil rights against Barack Obama, and no such indictment was made during Donald Trump's first term in office.
The intelligence assessment, released by Tulsi Gabbard, conflated the finding that Russian actors did not launch cyberattacks against U.S. voting platforms with a finding that Russia had not interfered at all. Tulsi Gabbard and Leavitt presented the conclusion anew by inferring that Russia did interfere but without the goal of helping either major candidate in the 2016 race.
The DOJ has been silent for nearly a week since the publication of a memo outlining the Director of National Intelligence's latest review. The charge of conspiracy against rights, which carries a statute of limitations of ten years, is the most likely avenue for federal prosecutors to take if a real effort is made to deliver on Donald Trump's promised vengeance.
Norm Eisen, a constitutional scholar and co-counsel for the first Donald Trump impeachment effort, has dismissed the claims against President Barack Obama as a "made up farrago of malicious nonsense." Eisen's group, Democracy Defenders Fund, has filed a legal demand under the Freedom of Information Act for the Trump-Epstein documents and is prepared to litigate if they are not provided.
Tulsi Gabbard couldn't answer why those charges against Barack Obama weren't pursued during Donald Trump's first term. Some of Donald Trump's allies view the charge of conspiracy against rights as their best shot. In 2019, a special counsel appointed by Donald Trump's White House found no evidence of criminal activity committed by Barack Obama or other members of his administration in relation to the Russia investigation.
Meanwhile, the DOJ hasn't uttered a peep in terms of plans to launch investigations into Tulsi Gabbard's findings, despite the director's claim that all evidence was referred to Bondi's office. The DOJ and other agencies found that Russia was behind influence campaigns on social media aimed at sowing election disinformation.
A spokesperson for Barack Obama issued a rare statement Tuesday calling the "Russia-gate" accusations "bizarre." Conspiracy against rights would be an ironic charge for Donald Trump's team to level against Barack Obama, considering the president was accused of this in a criminal probe launched by special counsel Jack Smith over Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Tulsi Gabbard claims this action is part of a years-long "coup" attempt against Donald Trump. Donald Trump was charged with conspiracy against rights for allegedly conspiring to violate the rights of millions of Americans by working with state legislatures and Congress in a half-cocked bid to throw out the 2020 election results pointing to his defeat. The DOJ hasn't commented on this ongoing case.
