President Trump weighed in yesterday on “Obamagate” – the nation’s most serious political scandal, ever. Citing evidence released last week by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Mr. Trump declared that his predecessor, Barack Obama, had personally led an effort to “rig the 2016 election,” then did rig the 2020 one and was guilty of “treason.”

An Obama spokesman responded: “Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election, but did not successfully manipulate any votes.” This contention does not address, let alone rebut, the documented pattern of behavior by the then-President and his national security team in the aftermath of Trump’s win that year. 

DNI Gabbard has made a criminal referral to the Justice Department of President Obama and his alleged co-conspirators, saying “every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” 

Amen. 

This is Frank Gaffney.
