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.

Betraying America...Part Two

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

“All criminals should be arrested. Obama is no different. In fact, he once said no one is above the law. If he truly believes that then let justice be served.” -U.S. Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL)

Rep. Fine's comments came soon after National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, released the first round of declassified documents that “suggested” former president Barack Obama colluded with key Democrat players to accuse Russia of “meddling” in the 2016 Presidential election when they knew well that no such “meddling” took place. And this prompted Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department to assign a task force to look into what are serious allegations.

And look into it Bondi did for within days she announced with “utmost seriousness” the formation of a “Strike Force” to examine said allegations. But not to be forgotten is that there already were four separate criminal, counterintelligence, and watchdog probes between 2019 and 2023 regarding these very allegations with all concluding that Russia did interfere and did help Trump win in 2016. However, the caveat here is that said probes were all Democrat initiated with many of those same players now coming back into question. And this means that what Tulsi Gabbard did now was expose what was covered up and lied about back then...which I covered last week in“Betraying America...Part One.”

And so with Pam Bondi now tasked with the job of turning said into federally chargeable offenses..a not so easy task as presidential immunity, statutes of limitations, and acts of treason and subversion come into play...with this being the crux of, “Betraying America... Part Two.”

So here let's start with none other than Barack Obama himself, for if not for him and his revenge driven agenda revolving around Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump, Donald Trump's loss to Joe Biden in 2020 might have been a win instead. And with two serious allegations being made against Obama...that of treason and subversion...the question now being asked is does “presidential immunity” come into play. “Presidential immunity” typically covers actions taken while the president was performing “official duties” while in office, but does it apply to a criminal prosecution of a former president after he's left office... making this a truly convoluted question.

Simply, the President of these United States does have “absolute immunity” from civil lawsuits if the suit arose due to actions the president took within his designated Constitutional authority. However, there are limits to what constitutes “official acts,” and presidents are not “absolutely immune” from all lawsuits, like those that involve actions they took before taking office or those they took “outside of their Constitutional authority.” And it's these last five words, “outside of their Constitutional authority,” which might or might not come into play in the DOJ making a case against Obama. How so...because the Constitution does not give the president the right to interfere with what are supposed to be “free and fair” elections.

“Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution” clearly states what are actions related to ones official presidential duties, as in their giving a State of the Union address to Congress; recommending measures to Congress; receiving foreign ambassadors and public ministers; taking care that the laws are faithfully executed; and commissioning all officers of the United States. However, “presidential immunity” generally does not extend to unofficial conduct (as in conduct that does not relate to their aforementioned duties), or conduct that occurred before the president took office.

And while presidents also have “absolute immunity” for actions taken within the so called ”outer perimeter” of their duties, trying to “fix an election” or trying to negate or overthrow a duly elected president does not fall into that or any category. According to the SCOTUS “outer perimeters,” encompasses actions which arose from a president’s “unofficial conduct”  while in office, or which arose from actions taken before he took office. 

 

Simply, the judiciary can hold a president...either past or present...liable for private actions taken, just like they can for anyone else. And in Barack Obama's case regarding “election collusion,” said actions were both secretive and private in nature.

However, when it comes to criminal liability for a former president...which would be the case with Obama...while it gets a bit murky, the fact is that word semantics does come into play via the word “presumptively.” How so? While the Supreme Court’s 6 to 3 decision in the 2024 case of “Trump v. United States,” that sitting presidents are “presumptively” immune from criminal prosecutions with “immunity” in regards to official acts they took as president, the ruling left the door open to the possibility that the government can challenge the word “presumptively” by proving that prosecuting the president would not “pose any dangers of intrusion on the authority and functions of the Executive Branch.”

And this is key, while the principal of “presumptively” does certainly apply to sitting presidents, sometimes former presidents are not “absolutely immune” from what is considered to be criminal liability as former presidents do not...I repeat do not...have “immunity” for their “unofficial acts” committed while president. Simply, what Obama tried to do during his second term as president was first try to stop Trump from getting elected, and then stop him from holding office after being duly elected, acts which not now or have been deemed to be Constitutionally designated acts. Therefore, it's my belief that in the case of Obama, due to the fact that not only did he mastermind the conspiracy to make knowingly false accusations against President Trump and subvert “We the People” of our Constitutionally given right to a “free and fair election” via acts of “obstruction” both before and after the official election took place, but that, thankfully, there is no “statute of limitations” on prosecuting anyone for what I believe to be “treason” against the United States.

And with “treason” being officially defined in the Constitution as “levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort,” I think it's quite possible that a case for “treason” can be leveled against Obama because the actual meaning of the word “war” is not spelled out in the Constitution. Remember, while the word“war” is most commonly defined as “an armed conflict between political groups involving hostilities of considerable duration and magnitude,” know that is not the only definition of “war” as the word itself also encompasses nonphysical “acts of war” as well. For example there are economic wars, sanctions, cyber attacks, cold wars, and political wars of words fought between once political friends now turned adversaries, all examples of wars with no blood shed.

In the case of the 2016 presidential election the word “war” could then legally be applied to mean that in Obama's “colluding” with his political cronies...most of whom were his national security cabinet members....they knowingly manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a political “witch hunt”...a non violent “coup” if you will...against a now sitting U.S. president. Remember again that Obama and crew first tried to prevent Trump from winning the 2016 election, and when that failed they tried to prevent Trump from assuming the office he was duly elected to hold, thus Obama did declare “war” on what the Constitution calls the right to “free and fair elections,” by his trying to overturn the voice of “We the People.”

Again, “war” is not always defined by physical violence or by blood lost, but that sometimes “war” is about an opposing political party using “under the radar” tactics to try and overthrow the sitting government simply via “subversion” from within. And that folks is exactly what Barack Obama and those loyal to him and his would be puppet Hillary Clinton tried to do. And that surely is an “act of war” even in the broadest of senses, and thus astute attorneys would most probably be able to legally override even the “outer perimeters” of what is “presumptive presidential immunity” especially when “subversion” is thrown into the mix. Why so...because what Obama orchestrated, via his working “from within,” was a systemic attempt to both undermine an election and, if need be, to possibly try to overthrow the new Trump government.  

So with the very definition of “subversion” now also in play, the aforementioned word “intrusion” might not only be overridden, but there well could then be a charge of “treason” being leveled against Obama. How so...because Obama knowingly and willingly “colluded” against a political rival,..technically a private citizen at the time...and then subversively tried to overthrow the government of newly elected President Donald Trump. And Obama's reason was to get Hillary into power thus completing his “transformation of America”...the very antithesis of not only our Constitutional republic, but the erroneously claimed democracy many believe us to be.

And yet even with the possibilities I've just stated many still believe that Barack Obama will not be charged with “treason” let alone be charged with anything out of fear that in bringing charges against America's “supposed” first black president...he's actually “mixed race”...could lead to what I call “the element” to again start “acting badly.” Fear relating to politics, especially when aided by the media, is a powerful tool used to help keep the party faithful in line, but sometimes fear must take a backseat to doing what is right not just for some but for the sum of our country.

So as it stands now, as I write this, recently released emails pertaining to the now declassified annex of the “Durham Report” show that right from its inception the FBI, the Obama administration, and George Soros'  infamous“Open Society Foundation” were working in tandem on the development of the “Russia Collusion Hoax.” And this means that in the case of Obama, the aforementioned question of “intrusion” can now be overridden by his having committed, what I believe to be, an act of “treason” for knowingly and willingly “colluding” against Donald Trump, in order to get Hillary into office. To Obama and his ilk, completing the “transformation of America”...the very antithesis of our Constitutional republic...was worth all risks taken especially when they thought they'd never be caught let alone ever be charged with anything.

But here I must say that whether charges against Obama can or cannot...will or will not...be brought someone must be called to task for to sweep all under the rug means that collusion of the most dangerous kind can and will happen again with the victims being both “We the People” and the Constitution's rule of law...for without the law we are not the nation our “Founders and Framers” designed us to be.

So if not Obama...if his skin color, the media, and the “element” are able to shield him once again,..who then will become the Democrats much needed “fall guy?” Remember, even the Democrat hierarchy has to know that trouble lies ahead what with DNI Gabbard's continuing to release intelligence reports showing that top Obama officials perjured themselves before Congress regarding their made-up Trump/Russia “witch hunt.” In fact, word has it that the CIA and the DOJ are still working together to declassify more documents that could lead to serious legal consequences for Hillary Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan, and former NI Director James Clapper.

In fact, in the last document release as I was writing this, materials from a long-classified appendix to the Durham Report showed that the then still loyal to Obama FBI was involved in promoting a scheme concocted by none other than Hillary herself, with Obama's knowledge of course, to help “frame” Donald Trump as being a Russian “asset.” And current CIA Director John Ratcliffe echoed this sentiment by stating that this “directly implicates Hillary Clinton.”

So with Hillary's name now being floated as a possible “fall guy” to help keep Obama off the hook and out of jail, there's another more plausible and likely name that comes to mind as being the one to take a hit for “the Obama team”...and that is former CIA Director John Brennan. Why so...because he did lie to Congress and he would not be protected against perjury charges if the statute of limitations has not run out.

But the bottom line does remain that someone or many someones must be held accountable for not only the damages to our country they caused, but they must be made examples of not only legally, but in the court of public opinion as well. Not to do so makes a mockery of our Constitutional rule of law, while also sending a message that some are indeed above the rule of law. And if that be the case America's 250th birthday might well be our Constitutional Republic's last.

And with that I say there might still be a “Betraying America...Part Three” for sometimes it takes someone thinking outside the “proverbial box” to see something even the experts missed, so case not closed.
