On Tuesday, President Trump called to prosecute former President Barack Obama as well as other officials over Director of National Intelligence\u00a0Tulsi Gabbard\u2019s\u00a0claim of a \u201ctreasonous conspiracy\u201d by the former administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Donald Trump called for the prosecution of former President Barack Obama and others, saying from the White House that it\u2019s \u201ctime to go after people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump called for \u201csevere consequences\u201d for Obama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The witch hunt that you should be talking about is they caught President Obama. What they did to this country in 2016, starting in 2016 but going up to 2020 of the election, they tried to rig the election and they got caught. There should be very severe consequences for that. When we caught Hillary Clinton, I said, you know what, let\u2019s not go too far here. It\u2019s the ex-wife of a president and I thought it was sort of terrible. I let her off the hook and I\u2019m very happy I did. But it\u2019s time to start \u2014 after what they did to me and whether it\u2019s the right or wrong \u2014 it\u2019s time to go after people. Obama has been caught directly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Gabbard released a declassified report last week, claiming that Obama and his administration officials pushed concerns about Russian interference in the election in public while privately knowing it was not a major concern in the 2016 election. Gabbard, who also called for officials to be prosecuted, accused officials of trying to \u201cusurp\u201d Trump and American voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe intelligence community assessed \u2014 and this is what the documents detail \u2014 essentially Russia doesn\u2019t have the tools, the capability, or the intent to try to change the outcome of the US presidential election,\u201d she told<\/a> Fox News on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabbard said she referred her information to the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBN host David Brody asked House Speaker Mike Johnson about the matter, \u201cI\u2019ve heard Stephen Miller call this a \u2018seditious conspiracy.\u2019 I\u2019ve heard Tulsi Gabbard call it a \u2018treasonous conspiracy.\u2019 You\u2019re a constitutional guy; what do you see in this exactly? How do you term it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, I don\u2019t know how to summarize it in \u2014 by way of description \u2014 in a snappy phrase, but I will tell you it is deeply problematic,\u201d Johnson replied. \u201cBefore I became Speaker of the House I served on the House Judiciary Committee, which had jurisdiction over a lot of this, and we knew what was happening. We knew intuitively and we were gathering the evidence as we were investigating all of this ourselves. We knew the Russia collusion thing was a hoax. They used it as a basis to attack the president mercilessly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noting that he had served on Trump\u2019s impeachment defense teams twice, Johnson recalled, \u201cAs we were preparing for those defenses, as we were investigating with our oversight responsibility in the Judiciary, we recognized that the people who are being called out now were involved in a scheme. We knew that it was a shameless, false, set of accusations, and yet, they perpetuated the lie on the American people. And they looked right under the camera and just lied, clearly. And they knew what they were up to the whole time so there must be accountability for that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople want to see subpoenas; they want to see depositions,\u201d Brody posited. \u201cThey want to see, whether it be Brennan, Clapper, potentially the former President of the United States. Are you willing to go down that route? Cause a lot of people want to see some of these folks questioned under oath.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course,\u201d Johnson answered immediately. \u201cI think we have a responsibility to follow the truth where it leads and to do it in an unbiased fashion, to do effectively the opposite of what that other team did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoes it get tricky at all with the former president, President Obama, looking at what his role in this is and bringing him in for some sort of deposition, potential subpoena?\u201d Brody asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, listen, we have no concern about that,\u201d Johnson said bluntly. \u201cIf it\u2019s uncomfortable for him, he shouldn\u2019t have been involved in overseeing this, which is what it appears to us has happened. There\u2019s a lot of allegations on the table. Our job is to go and follow each of those trails and to find out the truth. And so those are very serious allegations with very serious implications, but we\u2019re gonna have very serious people working on it and we will get the answers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
