Attorney General Bondi orders prosecutors to start grand jury probe into Obama officials over Russia investigation
Source: CNN
Attorney General Pam Bondi directed federal prosecutors to launch a grand jury investigation into accusations that members of the Obama administration manufactured intelligence about Russias 2016 election interference, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.
A grand jury would be able to issue subpoenas as part of a criminal investigation into renewed allegations that Democratic officials tried to smear Donald Trump during his 2016 campaign by falsely alleging his campaign was colluding with the Russian government. It could also consider an indictment should the Justice Department decide to pursue a criminal case.
The move follows a referral from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who declassified documents in July that she alleges undermine the Obama administrations conclusion that Russia tried to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton.

What is going on here, is that delusional Trump is ordering people to do exactly what he thinks the Democrats did to him. This will just hang out there. There will never be an indictment. There will be supposed leaks.

As I have said several times here, they will indict Obama they will do everything they can to put him in prison and this Supreme Court will not give him immunity, they will say it was not an official act.

(53,074 posts)Doubtful that there will be indictments. And if indictments and prosecution, doubtful about convictions for two reasons: A) Insufficient evidence to convict for guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, or B) Mistrial. (Uncertain about jury nullification.)

(39 posts)Donald failed to 'defeat' Obama when his manifold efforts to repeal Obamacare went down in flames. So, maybe this is another attempt to denigrate Obama's good name.

(21,958 posts)Donald J Trump represents the most successful spy operation of all time. And thanks to Just-us John Roberts redefining the meaning of "Insurrection" and the very words of the Constitution of the United States of America, an active Russian agent has been allowed to return to the Oval Office to again "serve" as the pee-resident.
Normally, I'd say: "Think about that!" But, destroying truth is what tyrants do. It's why they hate a free press.
It's why trumpf is doing all he can to sue anyone who ever wrote anything bad about him. Now he has the DoJ doing his dirty work and handing the legal bill to the U.S. taxpayer.
The photo of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and dip above was taken by TASS, the official Russian news agency. The US media were not informed about the 2017 visit. We learned about it because the Unstable Moron himself spread the pic proudly on social media.
How many people do you know whove seen that picture or the one below, taken on an earlier date in the Oval Office? Again, very few.
I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to The Times. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.
"I'm not under investigation," he added.

And this is the man leading the "restructuring of American government" today winking at Putin at a diplomatic affair during his first madministration.
Theres a reason why Putin, the Kremlin and the GRU and whatever the KGB is called these days call him "America's Gorbachev." Gorby sped up the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Now Putin returns the favor through Trump and his destruction of America's economy, hailed just before the 2024 election by The Economist as "The Envy of the World."
