probe into Obama officials over Russia investigation
“ Attorney General Pam Bondi directed federal prosecutors to launch a grand jury investigation into accusations that members of the Obama administration manufactured intelligence about Russia’s 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 administration’s conclusion that Russia tried to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton.
Gabbard requested that the Justice Department investigate former President Barack Obama and top officials in his administration for an alleged conspiracy.
Soon after Gabbard’s referral, Bondi announced that the DOJ was creating a “strike force” to assess the evidence released by Gabbard and “investigate potential next legal steps which might stem from DNI Gabbard’s disclosures.”
The Justice Department declined to comment.

It's our entertainment.
Hon. Pamela Jo Bondi (01:16:27):
Senator, yes. I believe that the Justice Department must be independent and must act independently. The number one job is to enforce the law fairly and even-handedly, and that's what will be done if I am confirmed as the attorney general.
Senator Klobuchar (01:16:46):
So you will provide an insurance to every member of this committee that the Justice Department will only follow the facts in the law, and the White House will play no role in cases investigated or brought?
Hon. Pamela Jo Bondi (01:16:58):
Senator, it will be my job if confirmed as attorney general to make those decisions. Politics will not play a part. I've demonstrated that my entire career as a prosecutor, as attorney general, and I will continue to do that if you confirm me as the 87th attorney general of the United States of America.
Maybe Leticia can handle the case.
corrupt!

The MSM can’t ignore this story anymore.
A coup is a dangerous and serious criminal offense.
Let’s see what the grand jury decides…..I believe that Florida will be the venue.
presented to grand juries in six GOP-friendly jurisdictions!
How does Baron put it: "Rules for thee, but not for me."
funds, tax evasion, 34 felonies, stolen classified documents he intended to monetize, judgments of sexual assault, judgements and financial penalties for defamation and on and on all as a private citizen, yes?
This isn’t even talking about trying to manufacture votes across the nation, coercion, fomenting an insurrection at he US capitol - and on and on.
Is this what you think you’re using as support that DJT’s revenge by using the DOJ to go after law firms, attorneys, businesses, politicians, judges, civil employees, legal citizens, friend nations or just anyone who spoke out against him is the same as his criminal acts?
You have to stretch facts and truths to unrecognizable shapes to pull that off. Oh, you and your MAGAnuts do this daily.
Unless you are privvy to the information, why would you assume there is no merit to the pursuit of justice?
Let it play out.
