"Their egregious abuse of power and blatant rejection of our Constitution threatens the very foundation and integrity of our democratic republic. No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to ensure nothing like this ever happens again. The American people’s faith and trust in our democratic republic and therefore the future of our nation depends on it. As such, I am providing all documents to the Department of Justice to deliver the accountability that President Trump, his family, and the American people deserve."

I think a deal should be cut for an admission of guilt with heavy fines and no jail time.

Presumably, no one who thinks this is a good idea expects anything to happen to Obama. Trump and the Supreme Court have made sure that won't happen. All that whining about the DOJ being politicized by MAGA folks seems quaint at this point.

Nonsense. The precedent of totes different cuz reasons will come into play with regards to the former president.

I would advise" reading" the document rather than reading Gabbards explosive rhetoric.
The declassified documents provided do indicate that there was interference from Russian and criminal actors directed at U.S. election infrastructure.
The documents mention:
* Russian government-affiliated cyber actors extracting voter data (e.g., from Illinois' Board of Elections).
* Cyber criminals and hackers attempting to steal data and interrupt election processes.
* The assessment that these activities were "probably intended to cause psychological effects, such as undermining the credibility of the election process and candidates."
The documents confirm that cyber activities, which can be categorized as interference, did occur so Gabbards narrative falls very short . Many of us know that it was the Trump team who actually screamed interference in 2020.

Much to do about nothing. Again.

All a distraction. And another damp squib in the making. Just keep remembering who promised to put all those crooked sex fiend politicians in jail, and uncover all the election fraud, if only he could get in power (again).

Committing felonies by using taxpayer money to illegally influence a presidential election is a misuse of power that shows real contempt for the American people and democratic elections.

For a guy like Obama who is from Chicago, putting catsup on a hot dog is much worse.

I thought violations of the Hatch Act were so 2015!
(Unless there’s other Federal Statutes involved…care to list them?)

It's not about whether I'm serious, it's about whether Director Gabbard is serious.
Are you referring to Russia's "girlfriend"?

It's not about whether Gabbard is serious, but about whether the DOJ indicts and convicts anybody.
