A wave of headlines has emerged following claims by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that former President Barack Obama should be prosecuted for allegedly orchestrating efforts to discredit Donald Trump's 2016 election win through the 'Russiagate' investigation. Conservative commentators and some political figures have amplified these accusations, suggesting Obama and his administration engaged in a 'coup' or 'hoax.' Despite the fervor, legal experts and former prosecutors argue that prosecution is highly improbable, especially in light of recent Supreme Court rulings granting broad immunity to former presidents. The debate has fueled partisan tensions, with some viewing the calls for prosecution as politically motivated. Ultimately, while the controversy continues to dominate right-wing media, there is little indication that Obama will face criminal charges.
