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 conspiring to discredit Donald Trump's 2016 election win through the 'Russiagate' investigation. Conservative commentators and some former prosecutors argue that Obama was deeply involved in politicizing intelligence, but most legal experts agree that prosecution is highly unlikely, especially in light of presidential immunity precedents. The controversy has fueled partisan debate, with some viewing the calls for prosecution as political theater or a form of retribution. Prediction markets and right-wing media have amplified speculation about possible indictments, but there is no concrete evidence that legal proceedings against Obama are imminent. The story underscores ongoing divisions over the legacy of the 2016 election and the use of intelligence for political purposes.
