Op-ed:

Actions That Must Not Go Unpunished

By now we all know that certain key indictments have been leveled against some of the main cast of characters who cooked up not just the pack of lies that became the Trump/Russian collusion scandal, but also involved the more recent 2020 election as well.

And the gamut of those now facing or likely to be facing charges ranges from former FBI Director James Comey who was indicted on charges of making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding; to former National Security Advisor John Bolton indicted on charges relating to his mishandling, transmitting, and retaining of highly classified information under the “Espionage Act;” to former CIA Director John Brennan who, as I write this, has been referred to the DOJ for criminal prosecution after he knowingly “made false statements” to Congress regarding his role in the Russia collusion hoax; to none other than New York AG Leticia James who is now indicted for the same crimes she accused President Trump of in regards to bank fraud of which he was found not guilty. And know that more indictments are sure to come, and rightfully so.

And while said indictment list will certainly be long and telling, two prominent names supposedly will not...at least for now...be on that list as they should be...as in Barack Hussein Obama (the root cause of all the racial animosity and most of the problems we and our beloved America face today), and Hillary Rodham Clinton (of the infamous so-called “Clinton body count list”). And why are both said individuals not on the current list when both persons, in my opinion, were not just part and parcel of all lies and innuendos fabricated against President Trump, but together were the ringleaders that not only wanted to destroy Donald J. Trump the candidate, then president, but Donald J. Trump the man as well.

Also, remember that without what had to be both Obama's and Hillary's direct involvement in also trying to take down Trump in the 2020 election, Joe Biden would not have become president. Just think how the world at large and “We the People” would be if we did not have to face the multitude of problems we and President Trump still face today, all thanks to Joe Biden being Obama's third term in office.

And while some continue to claim that neither Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton can ever be legally arrested, let alone be federally indicted in regards to the “Steele Dossier” hoax, its corresponding Russian collusion scandal, the numerous coup attempts that were made against President Trump when he first assumed office, or the still ongoing power plays attempting to sabotage Trump's now second term in office, I truly believe those persons might well be proven wrong.

How so...first some background info. Remember, Hillary's 2016 presidential campaign in conjunction with the DNC did indeed pay for the Steele dossier to be constructed, and that back in March 2022, both parties faced FEC charges related to what were considered to be “highly technical” rules regarding funding for the very type of research they conducted, and that said funding was deliberately not disclosed to the public. And when handed what amounted to a civil penalty...instead of what I consider to be a federal crime relating to “election tampering”...the DNC and the Clinton campaign collectively agreed to pay $113,000 in fines, with the DNC paying $105,000 and the Clinton campaign paying a mere $8,000 as the court chose to ignore the illegality of the dossier's made up lies and innuendos.

Simply, with the FEC charges being but a “slap on the wrist” so to speak, the Democrats were able to turn what were uncharged but true allegations into but a cleverly orchestrated, in-our-face cover-up of what truly was Obama's and Hillary's involvement in trying to take down then candidate Donald J. Trump by any and all means possible short of violent intent. And from what was a public placating of the civil charges coupled with the verdict rendered, no federal charges were brought against these two, whom I consider to be traitors to our country.

And so with Joe Biden being anointed in 2020...and note I did not say his legally being elected...we saw both Obama (not so secretly) and Hillary (closeted somewhat from public view) pulling Biden's presidential strings as Joe Biden alone did not have the mental capacity nor the acuity to destroy both America's economy and her reputation on the world stage, but Obama and Hillary combined most certainly did. And so entering center stage into the political discourse was what we Republicans sarcastically yet rightfully referred to as the O'Biden presidency. And said presidency came replete with the puppet master Obama himself and his still somewhat closeted shill Hillary Clinton, in an attempt to not only bolster up mentally floundering Joe Biden, but to destroy America from within by reviving what was Barack Obama's socialist driven, Constitutional republic destroying, “fundamental transformation of America”...with America, Republicans, we in the MAGA movement, and President Trump be damned.

And but one example of this can be seen courtesy of AG Pam Bondi's so-called “strike force” having opened, not too long ago, a grand jury investigation into a number of claims brought by now Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. And the crux of said claims encompassed the fact that the Obama administration had indeed engaged in what was called a "treasonous conspiracy" by their knowingly and willingly using their bought and paid for “Steele Dossier” to push forward onto the public their fabricated claim that Russia...that Putin...directly interfered in the 2016 election.

And yet all these years later neither Obama nor Hillary have been called to task for their involvement in what is probably one of the worst politically generated scandals in our nations history. And why so...because left leaning “legal experts” have stated that thanks to a July 2024 Supreme Court decision, presidents both past and present have “absolute immunity” for what is considered to be “official acts” taken while in office. And with Obama covered to some degree, the fact that Hillary was never president shows this ruling in no way relates to her...so why hasn't she been indicted or better yet been taken away in handcuffs?

But also being lost in the shuffle remains the fact that since when is Obama's trying to interfere in a presidential election...to actually take part in trying to fix both said election and its aftermath...considered to be an above board “official act”...simply it is not.

“There is irrefutable evidence detailing how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an Intelligence Community Assessment that they knew was false, promoting the contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, as though it were true.” 

- Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, July 23, 2025

These were Director Gabbard's own words that helped to tie Obama directly to what became the January 2017 “Intelligence Community Assessment” after Trump defeated Hillary in the 2016 election. And it was this “assessment” that not only morphed into the Democrats what turned out to be a now nine years long coup attempt against duly elected President Donald J. Trump, while at the same time trying to delegitimize his presidency itself as well as the will of “We the American People.”

So with all that said, misconduct by former President Obama, and former Secretary of State, U.S. senator, and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton...I believe constitutes both acts of “treason” and “election interference” as laid down in our laws.

First...“treason.” As per the Constitution's “Article III, Section 3”...”treason” involves “levying war against the U.S. or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort;” and is also part of federal criminal code “Title 18 U.S. Code §2381” making it a federal crime. In fact, “treason” is considered the most severe of all crimes committed against the U.S., and if one is found guilty of having committed “treason,” they then face a minimum prison sentence of five years in federal prison, fines up to $10,000, and possibly even a sentence of death. But nowhere in the Constitution does it define “war” as solely being a physical act.

And second, with U.S. “election interference” usually being defined as “unlawful acts or attempted acts intended to significantly influence voters, undermine public confidence, or alter an election,” one can easily see how this certainly did occur courtesy of the fabricated, proven to be lying “Steele Dossier”...the dossier paid for by the DNC and Hillary's campaign...and done solely in a concerted attempt to defame and dishonor Hillary's presidential opponent Donald J. Trump both before and then after Trump's 2016 election win. And this indeed falls under the banner of “political origins” that even a blind man could see.

And yet, as previously stated, mere “civil charges” were what was filed regarding the “Steele Dossier's” origins  ...something I believe to be a true miscarriage of justice that not only let the perpetrators get away with their nefarious deeds committed, but saw deliberately being overlooked the fact that with there being no statute of limitations in regards to certain federal level crimes, then why haven't charges of “treason” or charges of “election interference,” been leveled against those in question? To me, one possible answer might be that in doing so it could well create a Constitutional crisis unlike that which we've never seen before, especially with the two key players involved.

So while, to date, no charges of “treason” or “election interference” have been brought against either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, that does not mean that legally, on the federal level and with the right prosecutor in place, that it cannot be done even now especially with there being no “statutes of limitations” regarding the crime of “treason.” And nor does it mean that a legitimate “whistleblower” cannot come forward to blow the lid off the cleverly crafted cover-up that is still in place...whether said “whistleblower” be someone simply trying to do the right thing or someone attempting to “make a deal” so as to temper down what was their involvement. And also remember that “treason” has never been Constitutionally defined as solely being a physical act of war, as war itself on the political level can be as dirty as war fought on the battlefield.

And as for “election interference” it's my opinion that again both Obama and Hillary can be so charged with the right legal prosecutor in place. How so...because even with the statute of limitations regarding campaign finance crimes and the 2016 election having occurred nine years ago, and with the 2020 election occurred five years ago, that does not mean that all the i's have been dotted nor all the t's crossed. 

 

For example, Section 245(b)(1)(A) of Title 18 of the U.S. Code addresses interference in elections by force or threats; while 18 U.S.C. §595, prohibits government employees (of which technically Obama and Hillary both were} from using their official authority in connection with federally financed activity to interfere with or affect a federal election, also with a time limit not specifically mentioned.

But again that's for the legal experts and Constitutional scholars to delve into, as I'm just presenting what I believe to be possible options for what I consider to be both election crimes and treasonous acts committed by the aforementioned individuals. And I believe said actions were so vile that it might have, with a different election outcome, changed the very fabric of our Constitutional Republic forever. And if we came so close in 2016, and again in 2020, there is no guarantee that said actions won't surface again in 2028. Case closed.
