After DNI Tulsi Gabbard recently laid out evidence that President Barack Obama and key officials in his administration had participated in activities to thwart the incoming Trump administration, Obama was referred to the DOJ for prosecution. Now, A.R. Hoffman wonders at The New York Sun if Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi will assign a special prosecutor to handle the case. He writes:
The criminal referral of President Obama to the Department of Justice, and the creation of a DOJ “Strike Force” to address the matter, raises the real possibility that the 47th president could turn to a special counsel — a kind of prosecutor that hounded him for years — to lead the case against the 44th president.
Mr. Obama is being accused — albeit he’s not yet indicted — of concocting a false narrative that Russia sought to aid President Trump’s 2016 campaign. The drumbeat toward prosecution is growing. The director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, accused Mr. Obama of a “treasonous conspiracy” for concocting evidence of Russian aid to the Trump campaign.
“After what they did to me, and whether it’s right or wrong, it’s time to go after people,” Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office earlier this week. “Obama’s been caught directly.”
Attorney General Bondi’s “Strike Force” was created to “investigate these troubling disclosures fully and leave no stone unturned to deliver justice,” according to the announcement of its inception. Now two Republican senators — John Cornyn and Lindsey Graham — are urging Mr. Trump to appoint a special counsel to investigate Mr. Obama and his national security aides for “the extent to which they manipulated the U.S. national security apparatus for a political outcome.”
