Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard made it clear Wednesday that she is not treating her disclosures about the Russia collusion hoax as a mere political spectacle — and now the Department of Justice is following her lead.
During a White House briefing, Gabbard announced she had referred evidence to the DOJ for criminal investigation, pointing directly at former President Barack Obama and senior members of his national security team for allegedly directing the creation of a false intelligence narrative about Russian interference in the 2016 election. Hours later, Attorney General Pamela Bondi announced the formation of a DOJ “Strike Force” to review the evidence and determine potential next legal steps.

“This Department takes alleged weaponization of the intelligence community with the utmost seriousness,” Bondi said in a statement. “The Department of Justice is proud to work with my friend Director Gabbard, and we are grateful for her partnership in delivering accountability for the American people. We will investigate these troubling disclosures fully and leave no stone unturned to deliver justice.”
The language and scope of the announcement highlight just what’s at stake. A DOJ “Strike Force” is typically reserved for complex, multi-level investigations involving numerous actors, often requiring coordination across agencies and years of work. This suggests federal prosecutors are preparing for an extensive inquiry into how intelligence assessments were allegedly manipulated at the highest levels of government.

The investigation will likely confront hurdles, including the statute of limitations on certain actions and the need for whistleblowers or cooperating witnesses to provide critical firsthand accounts. Still, Gabbard’s revelations — backed by declassified intelligence reports — have already reignited calls for full accountability over the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.
Political backlash is inevitable. Democrats are expected to fiercely resist any effort to prosecute former Obama administration officials, framing the move as politically motivated. But Bondi’s reference to “next legal steps” indicates the DOJ is preparing for a case built to withstand scrutiny and public outcry.
