If you ever needed proof that justice delayed is justice denied, look no further than the Russiagate scandal—a deliberate sabotage campaign launched by Obama-era officials to kneecap President Donald Trump before he even took office. It’s been nearly a decade since the intelligence-industrial complex tried to sell the American people on the lie that Trump colluded with Russia. And now, in 2025, we’re finally seeing a top official demand accountability—not just with words, but with action.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is doing what far too many in Washington have been too timid or too compromised to do: She’s calling for the Department of Justice to prosecute Obama-era operatives who weaponized the intelligence community to interfere in a presidential election. Yes, you read that right. The same people who screamed “election interference” for four years were the ones doing the interfering.
Last week, Gabbard declassified a tranche of internal emails from 2016 and 2017, exposing the deliberate coordination between intelligence officials to smear Trump using the now-debunked Steele dossier and other baseless allegations. These documents, buried for years by bureaucrats with a vested interest in protecting their own, confirm what the Durham Report already laid out in painstaking detail: There was no legitimate basis for launching the Trump-Russia investigation. None.
Let’s be clear: this wasn’t just a mistake. It was a coordinated political operation—an attempted soft coup. As Gabbard rightly pointed out in her statement, “These officials abused their positions of power to mislead the American people, discredit a duly elected president, and undermine the peaceful transfer of power.” That’s not just unethical—it’s criminal.
And yet, where is the outrage? Where are the nightly news specials? Where are the congressional hearings with wall-to-wall coverage? We all know the answer. The corporate media spent years breathlessly advancing this hoax because it served their agenda. They won Pulitzers for fiction. They turned anonymous leaks into gospel. And now, when the truth is out in the open, they respond with a collective yawn.
But Gabbard isn’t letting it go—and she shouldn’t. As DNI, she has access to intelligence that most Americans will never see. The fact that she’s chosen to bring this information to light, despite the political firestorm it’s sure to ignite, speaks to her integrity and commitment to the Constitution—not the swamp.
What’s more alarming is that some in the conservative commentariat—yes, even some who should know better—are brushing off her calls for prosecution as “frivolous.” Frivolous? Let’s talk about what’s frivolous: using fake opposition research funded by the Clinton campaign as justification for a federal investigation into a political opponent. That’s not just frivolous—it’s fraudulent.
John Durham’s multi-year probe concluded that the FBI had no verified intelligence when it opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. The Steele dossier? Utter garbage. The FISA warrants? Riddled with errors—many of them deliberate omissions. And yet, no one has been held accountable in any meaningful way. A couple of wrist slaps. A few resignations. No jail time. No justice.
That’s why Gabbard’s push matters. If we allow this to be swept under the rug, we’re telling future generations that it’s acceptable for unelected bureaucrats to manipulate intelligence for political ends. We’re saying the rule of law doesn’t apply to the elites. We’re declaring open season on constitutional order.
President Trump has made it clear that his administration will not let these abuses go unanswered. The American people deserve transparency, accountability, and justice. Not just for what happened in 2016, but for every lie, leak, and lawless act that followed. The Russia hoax wasn’t just a political hit job—it was an assault on our republic.
If we want to restore trust in our institutions, we can’t just “move on.” We must confront the truth and hold the perpetrators accountable. Tulsi Gabbard is right to demand prosecutions. Now it’s time for the DOJ to act. No more excuses. No more delays. Justice isn’t optional—it’s essential.
