Spygate – Reboot
Following the disappointing outcome of John Durham’s investigation into Russiagate, President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has breathed new life into the investigation.
After CIA Director John Ratcliffe made criminal referrals to the Department of Justice for James Comey and John Brennan for allegedly lying under oath, this week, Gabbard made a criminal referral to the DOJ for Barack Obama, alleging that he instructed the intelligence community to fabricate an assessment implicating Russia and Donald Trump in an attempt to interfere in the 2016 election. Obama’s instructions came in early December 2016, after Trump had been elected, and after all previous IC assessments had indicated there was no attempt by Russia to meddle in the election.

DNI Gabbard has her sights set on Obama.

Naturally, people are wondering if anyone will be held accountable.
Trump has placed people in his cabinet whom he believes will right the wrongs of the past, including Pam Bondi, who has been vilified for her handling of matters related to Jeffrey Epstein. I won’t comment on Boni’s trustworthiness other than to say that Trump backs her completely. If she were to hold up prosecution of Spygate conspirators for what Trump deemed to be an illegitimate reason, she could be replaced. That puts pressure on her to allow the justice process to continue unimpeded.
There’s an interesting dynamic at play regarding Gabbard’s disclosures. She has characterized Obama’s behavior as “treasonous” and has used the term “seditious conspiracy” on several occasions. It’s unusual for someone who is not an attorney to use such language, as it creates an expectation in the mind of listeners. My question is whether Gabbard is using these terms on her own volition as a freelancer, or whether she has consulted with Pam Bondi and Trump and is using this language at their request.
If she is using these terms at their request, then she is intentionally shaping a narrative for listeners to help them adjust mentally to what is coming. She would be signaling the type of criminal charges we can expect, and who will be charged.
If she’s freelancing, she could be setting the public up with unrealistic expectations that will lead to disappointment. Worse, it would cause conflict within the administration, as the DOJ may not support her accusations with criminal charges.
I won’t predict who will ultimately be charged or what crimes they will be charged with. It’s too early for that. Some of the conspirators will likely be offered plea deals in exchange for providing information about the criminal conspiracy. Interestingly, the criminal referrals are not for low-level players, unlike in the past. The latest referrals are for none other than the former CIA Director, the former FBI Director, and the former President.
There’s a serious legal question to be answered regarding the feasibility of charging a former President for acts he committed as part of his official duties. Last year, the Supreme Court ruled in a case involving President Trump that acts committed as part of the President’s official duties are immune from prosecution. Whether Obama can be charged for acts he committed while in office is unclear.
I’m optimistic that justice is coming. I’ll post updates here as more information is released.

I hope I’m still alive to see the guilty get their just penalties. 🙏
What comes to mind for me regarding Obama is that SCOTUS declared that Trump could not be prosecuted for acts committed under his authority as president. However, if the acts (of Obama) are deemed treasonous, then that would fall under a different category and would be prosecuted by the military, not a regular court of law, would it not?
I believe that the military now will have to enter into the picture. They are the only institution remaining with any integrity who can provide justice. Congress, the judiciary and the media are all compromised.
Treason is not a covered action for the president in office or out. IMO.
I agree. It would be really nice to see people held accountable for some of their crimes. Guess we will just have to see how it plays out.
God will ultimately have the last say…and that’s good enough for me.
Thanks for all you do Dave.
Under Liberal Democrat regimes facilitating mass illegal foreign criminal invasion, terrorism, bio-terrorism, financial fraud, sedition, and treason against American citizens seem to be considered “official duties”. How can this in any way be considered as honoring their oath of office or defending our Constitution?
5 U.S. Code § 3331, which states: “I, ___, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God”.
As far as Obama being charged for his “official duties” while President, it won’t take all that much to classify his role in the “coup” insomuch as those actions he took which demonstrate his intent to undermine, compromise, interfere (pick your favorite term) with the incoming administration.
I don’t expect to see Obama take the fall, but subordinates like Clapper, Rice, Samantha Power, and others are likely to get thrown under the bus. It would be satisfying to see Hillary take the fall. If anyone deserves an all expenses paid stay at Gitmo, it’s her.
I think it goes without saying that if the situation was reversed, Republicans instead of Democrats, they’d already be in their 4th year of a 20 year sentence.
I’ve heard there are already whistleblower coming forward to testify. I do not know if they have plea deal or not
Tulsi confirmed this morning there are whistleblowers.
I doubt undermining and framing an incoming President will fall under immunity as part of Obama’s official duties. Gabbard should have referred them to JAG for prosecution though.
Thank you Dave you have been our voice of reason for the last several years. We appreciate you so much
DNI Tulse would not be free lancing and neither would Bondi…this is go time…Trump’s Timing…he is controlling…In my opinion
I found Gabbard’s comments very interesting indeed, I appreciate your insight, praying for Divine wisdom and protection for President Trump and everyone involved in these days ahead. It’s an amazing time to be alive.
President Trump has taken so much abuse for We the People. I do not see this as revenge on his, or anyone else’s part. This is Justice for Americans, and DJT is not going to let this slide. The way I see it, this has been an ongoing conspiracy to remove Trump, and subvert the American people and Constitution. This was phase I of…
THANKS! Well done.
I wonder if Ratcliffe didn’t mention Obama because news of Obama’s involvement would be better received coming from a former Democrat, Gabbard. No matter what, I’m glad Tulsi was able to bring this forward and pray that she has all the goods. She sounds super confident and she knows this NEEDS to be done.
Thanks Dave, so glad you’re ‘back in the saddle’ again with us & using your God-given, anointed wisdom & understanding. Jeane “the Bare’
It’s fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
Great overview of where things stand with Russia-gate scandal. Always look forward to your viewpoint!
Blessings!
Very different estate sale coming I think
