DOJ says TACO, 79 mentioned several times

Can Obama be prosecuted because it happened before the SCOTUS immunity ruling?

It is important to remember that legal precedent generally applies retroactively, meaning that the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity, issued in July 2024, would likely apply to actions taken by former President Obama during his time in office
.
However, the specific circumstances of any potential prosecution would need to be considered in light of the nuances of the Court's decision, which established a three-part framework:
  • Absolute immunity for core constitutional powers: Actions considered essential to the president's role, such as pardoning or appointing ambassadors, are likely protected from criminal prosecution.
  • Presumptive immunity for other official acts: Acts falling within the "outer perimeter" of official duties, like holding press conferences, are entitled to a presumption of immunity, but this can be challenged by showing that the prosecution wouldn't interfere with the executive branch's functions.
  • No immunity for unofficial acts: A president can be prosecuted for actions unrelated to their official duties.
The burden would be on prosecutors to demonstrate that any alleged criminal actions by Obama do not fall within the scope of these immunity protections.
 
Spying on a political opponent and lying about Russian collusion do not sound like “official duties.”

Election interference is a crime, not an official duty.

Evidence of Obama interfering with an election?

What about it is illegal?

What law makes it illegal?

The Justice Department, under the able leadership of Pam Bondi, is gathering and reviewing the evidence.

FastLane has already posted what she has released so far.

I expect she has much more.

The efficacy of this criminal referral sounds adequate for a full criminal referral and prosecution.

Veremos.
 
Perhaps Comey, Brennan, and Clapper will see their very expensive lawyers’ fees drive them to bankruptcy.

Here's a summary of recent developments:
  • Criminal Investigations: In July 2025, it was reported that the Justice Department had opened criminal investigations into Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan for potential wrongdoing related to the Trump-Russia probe. The specific details of the allegations remain unclear, but Fox News, citing DOJ sourcesindicated the FBI viewed some interactions between the two as a "conspiracy".
  • Secret Service Investigation and Cellphone Tracking: In May 2025, Comey was interviewed by the Secret Service after posting a photo on social media that was perceived as a veiled threat against the President, according to CNN. The agency also reportedly tracked Comey's cellphone location during this time. Comey deleted the post and stated he did not intend to incite violence.
  • Daughter's Dismissal from Justice Department: In July 2025, Comey's daughter, Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor involved in the Epstein and Combs cases, was dismissed from the Justice Department. Comey strongly criticized the dismissal, attributing it to political targeting by the Trump administration.
  • Previous Investigations and Audits: Comey has been a target of scrutiny since being fired by then-President Trump in 2017. A special counsel previously investigated his handling of the Russia and Clinton email investigations, but no charges were filed. He was also subjected to an unusual IRS audit, though an inspector general later found the audits were randomly selected.

She already announced she does not intend to release anything else.

She said there is nothing else to release.

Link, it sounds like the evidence that she already has is more than adequate.

The actions by the top Democratic Washington sewer rats against Trump while he was running for president were an atrocity.

If it had been done against the vegetable, you would have been crawling across the ceiling.

Obama came up in Chicago politics which is notoriously dirty. He was up to his old tricks.

She is the one who said the matter is closed.

Giving a false interference report to Congress is in fact a crime. I thought you were a lawyer. They didn't teach you that?

Not necessarily. Lawyers don’t memorize the federal code idiot.

What is the crime you are referring to?
