President Donald Trump’s explosive treason accusations against former President Obama have ignited a firestorm, with Obama’s team firing back hard, as Breitbart reports. A recent report from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard alleges Obama’s national security crew cooked up intelligence to sabotage Trump in the wake of the 2016 election The claim, bold as brass, has conservatives cheering while progressives clutch their pearls.
Gabbard’s report, dropped Friday, alleges that Obama’s team twisted intelligence to undermine Trump’s 2016 win over Hillary Clinton. Trump seized on it, branding Obama “guilty” of treason and hinting at legal retribution. This isn’t just political theater -- it’s a high-stakes clash over truth and power.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) report, cited by The Hill’s Niall Stanage, claims “overwhelming evidence” of Obama’s team politicizing intelligence. It alleges a calculated effort to lay groundwork for a coup against Trump. Sounds like a spy novel, but conservatives say it’s the smoking gun they’ve long suspected.
Trump didn’t mince words, declaring, “He’s guilty,” hours before Obama’s camp responded. He accused Obama of trying to “steal” and “obfuscate” the election, calling it treason plain and simple. To conservatives, this is a rallying cry against a weaponized deep state.
Obama’s spokesman, Patrick Rodenbush, clapped back, calling the claims “outrageous” and a “weak attempt at distraction.” He argued the allegations are baseless nonsense from a White House drowning in misinformation. But conservatives scoff -- same old deflection from the progressive playbook.
Rodenbush’s statement dripped with disdain: “These bizarre allegations are ridiculous.” He insisted Obama’s office rarely responds to White House “nonsense,” but this was too far. Yet, to Trump’s base, it’s just another elite dodging accountability.
The ODNI report doesn’t dispute Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, a point backed by a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee led by Marco Rubio. However, it stresses Russia didn’t alter votes, focusing instead on Obama’s alleged post-election scheming. This nuance fuels conservative suspicions of establishment overreach.
Trump’s rhetoric escalated as he claimed Obama’s “orders are on the paper.” He suggested it’s time to “go after people” for what he calls a direct attack on his presidency. Supporters nod, seeing this as justice long overdue.
Rodenbush’s defense hinges on dismissing the report as a distraction, but conservatives aren’t buying it. They argue Obama’s team is scrambling to cover tracks exposed by Gabbard’s findings. The truth, they say, is finally clawing its way out.
Trump reflected on his 2017 decision not to pursue charges against Hillary Clinton over her email scandal. He noted he held back because she was “the ex-wife of a president.” Conservatives see this as Trump’s magnanimity, now betrayed by Obama’s alleged schemes.
“I let her off the hook,” Trump said, recalling his choice to avoid prosecuting Clinton. He now regrets that restraint, believing Obama’s actions demand accountability. Supporters cheer this shift, tired of perceived double standards.
The ODNI report’s allegations of a “years-long coup” resonate with conservatives who have long distrusted Obama’s legacy. They view it as proof of a rigged system protecting its own. Progressives, meanwhile, call it a baseless conspiracy theory.
Trump’s base sees Gabbard’s report as vindication of their long-held grievances. They argue Obama’s team weaponized intelligence to cling to power, a betrayal of democratic principles. The progressive outrage only fuels their resolve.
Rodenbush’s claim that the allegations are “ridiculous” falls flat for conservatives. They point to the report’s evidence as too damning to dismiss. The left’s denial, they say, is just noise to drown out the truth.
Trump’s call to action -- “it’s time to go after people” -- has conservatives buzzing. They’re ready for a reckoning, believing that Obama’s alleged overreach must face consequences. The battle lines are drawn, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
