Legal experts are warning that President Donald Trump may find it difficult to prosecute former President Barack Obama after accusing him of treason, following the Supreme Court’s immunity judgment last year.
The accusations came as Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s director of national intelligence, alleged that Obama and his senior officials “manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump” after Trump won the 2016 election.
Gabbard stated that she will be submitting a “criminal referral” to the DOJ and FBI.
“The evidence that we have found and have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment,” Gabbard said.
Fox News legal analyst Greg Jarrett spoke to anchor Sean Hannity on Wednesday night alongside Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, where they discussed the fake Trump-Russia hoax.
“John Brennan. John Brennan, when he testified in front of the Congress, Chairman Gowdy, asked a series of questions. I think he was not square with the Congress, specifically about the dossier. I went back and read some of that transcript. There was a clip played earlier today on your fine network. I think John Brennan misled Congress, which you’re not supposed to do. Now, again, statute of limitations, everything else, we’ll have to see, but I so appreciate what Tulsi has done and the work that Pam is now putting together to go after these guys and get to the truth,” Jordan declared.
“If the ongoing conspiracy is, for example, the raid on Mar-a-Lago and events thereafter, that’s when the statute of limitations begins to count right there. So that’s not an obstacle. But, you know, Barack Obama should be thanking Donald Trump. Why? Because he obtained from the U.S. Supreme Court the very kind of immunity that will protect Barack Obama,” Jarret said.
WATCH:
Gabbard declassified a previously unreleased 2020 report prepared by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
The report, dated September 18, 2020, stemmed from an investigation initiated by then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., chaired the committee at the time of the report’s release.
The committee’s investigation centered on the development of the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, highlighting how then-CIA Director John Brennan advocated for including the now-discredited anti-Trump dossier—despite being aware it was largely based on “internet rumor.”
According to the report, the ICA was a “high-profile product ordered by the President, directed by senior IC agency heads, and created by just five CIA analysts, using one principal drafter.”
“Production of the ICA was subject to unusual directives from the President and senior political appointees, and particularly DCIA,” the report states. “The draft was not properly coordinated within CIA or the IC, ensuring it would be published without significant challenges to its conclusions.”
The committee found that the five CIA analysts and drafter “rushed” the ICA’s production “in order to publish two weeks before President-elect Trump was sworn-in.”
The report states that Brennan “ordered the post-election publication of 15 reports containing previously collected but unpublished intelligence, three of which were substandard—containing information that was unclear, of uncertain origin, potentially biased, or implausible—and those became foundational sources for the ICA judgements that Putin preferred Trump over Clinton.”
“The ICA misrepresented these reports as reliable, without mentioning their significant underlying flaws,” the committee found.
“One scant, unclear, and unverifiable fragment of a sentence from one of the substandard reports constitutes the only classified information cited to suggest Putin ‘aspired’ to help Trump win,” the report states, going on to say that the ICA “ignored or selectively quoted reliable intelligence reports that challenged-and in some cases undermined—judgments that Putin sought to elect Trump.”
In addition, the committee said that a pair of senior CIA officers warned Brennan that “we don’t have direct information that Putin wanted to get Trump elected.”
However, despite the warnings, the Obama regime moved to publish the ICA anyway.
The ICA “did not cite any report where Putin directly indicated helping Trump win was the objective.”
