Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard did not close the door on the possibility of former President Barack Obama facing criminal charges over what she’s describing as a “treasonous conspiracy” [Russian interference in 2016] against President Donald Trump.

    Gabbard in my opinion is not a stable person. A co-worker once tried to convince me that she should have been elected. I know this person was crazy because they watched RT.

    Sure… you keep telling yourself that.

    Wasn’t she essentially deemed compromised by Russia by our national intelligence? Absolutely insane she got confirmed. Anyone who voted to confirm her or any of these dangerous picks need to be primaried and eventually face criminal charges IF this mess ever gets fixed.

      Treason charges. If we can see the plot, that means it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

    But wait, I thought Presidents had immunity for things they did as part of their official duties, and only the Courts can determine what is official? Or does that only apply to Republicans now?

    Or maybe it doesn’t apply when Republicans are making shit up about Democrats? That must be it.

    This is Trump manufacturing another story to distract the media and his MAGA base from Epstein files story. So ignore this BS!

    Lol the argument is literally that Russia did not have the “tools and resources” to influence the US election?

    Fuck right off, Tulsi, you Kremlin shill. Who the fuck is actually going to believe that?

      Russia did not have the “tools and resources” to influence the US election?

      I think this statement is true. Facebook ads and DNC malware didn’t shift the dial. Paid Russian protesters are about as effective as any other political protester.

    Seems like she got the hint when they were throwing stories out about getting rid of her.

    If it wasn’t such a sad turn if events it’d be almost comical the way the Republicans act, it’s like they’re all in highschool still. Religious nuts.

    Do it! Let’s set a precedent where it’s normal to charge former presidents with crimes!

    Let’s see which charges stick when put before a jury…

    Remember when people used to laugh at international dictators for making up bullshit kangaroo court cases against their political rivals?

    Anyway, how’s those pedo-files coming along?

      I didn’t think people laughed at that. More like, “humans can be so evil.”

      The other reaction—if you’re a conservative—is this, “Yeah we should do stuff like that here!”
