President Donald Trump is swinging hard, demanding that the Department of Justice go after none other than former President Barack Obama for what he calls a fabricated plot against his administration.
According to a report by Breitbart, Trump's comments came following recent revelations from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The declassified documents released by Gabbard's office allegedly show Obama's involvement in the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
Let’s rewind to the start of this bombshell story. Last week, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence dropped a batch of declassified papers that, according to an official statement, point to senior Obama administration figures cooking up intelligence to paint a false narrative of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
These documents aren’t just bureaucratic clutter—they suggest a calculated move to defy existing assessments that downplayed Russian meddling. Instead, officials allegedly pushed new claims using questionable sources like the infamous Steele Dossier, which even the ODNI admits was either fabricated or lacked credibility.
Trump isn’t mincing words about who he thinks is behind this. “Based on what I read… it would be President Obama,” he declared, pointing the finger squarely at the former president as the ringleader of what he sees as a political hit job.
“He started it, and Biden was there with him,” Trump added, dragging other big names into the fray. Well, if you’re going to accuse someone of orchestrating a coup, might as well name the whole squad, right? But let’s be fair—allegations this serious deserve hard scrutiny, not just fiery rhetoric.
Speaking of rhetoric, Trump doubled down, saying, “If you look at those papers, they have them stone cold.” He’s convinced the evidence is airtight, pinning Obama as the head of this supposed scheme. While passion fuels his words, the court of public opinion—and actual courts—will need more than conviction to settle this.
“It was President Obama… the leader of the gang,” Trump insisted. That’s a bold claim, and it’s easy to see why it’s riling up his base, but it also risks turning a complex issue into a personal vendetta if the facts don’t fully stack up.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard isn’t sitting idly by either. She’s taken the drastic step of submitting a criminal referral to the DOJ, urging a deeper probe into the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative based on these newly public files.
The declassified records paint a grim picture, alleging that Obama administration officials laid the groundwork for what some are calling a multi-year effort to destabilize Trump’s presidency. If true, this isn’t just politics as usual—it’s a profound breach of trust at the highest levels.
House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana is also weighing in, hinting that Congress might subpoena Obama himself over these allegations. That’s not a small threat; dragging a former president into a congressional hot seat would be a spectacle with far-reaching implications.
Johnson’s comments suggest a growing appetite among conservative lawmakers to hold past administrations accountable for what they see as weaponized intelligence. While accountability is crucial, one hopes this doesn’t devolve into a partisan witch hunt—both sides deserve clarity, not just political points.
Trump, never one to shy away from dramatic flair, called the actions “treason” and accused Obama of trying to “steal the election.”
That’s a nuclear-level charge, and while it fires up the crowd, it’s a term that carries legal weight far beyond campaign rally applause. Cooler heads must prevail to ensure justice, not just outrage, guides the next steps.
“This was every word you could think of,” Trump continued, painting the scheme as unprecedented even compared to tactics in rougher corners of the world. Hyperbole aside, if even half of these claims hold water, it’s a scandal that could redefine how we view political integrity in America.
