The White House Briefing Room: A Familiar Tune
Karoline Leavitt, serving as the White House Press Secretary, has recently confirmed what many folks might have suspected: former President Trump still has former President Obama on his mind [3]. During a White House press briefing, Leavitt responded to questions regarding a report by Tulsi Gabbard, which suggested that former President Barack Obama had meddled in the 2016 presidential election [1]. This is like having a psycho ex who won’t leave you alone even after you’ve been broken up for 8 years.
A Blast from the Past: Accusations Resurface
President Trump, who has no problem speweing whatever drivel has come loose in his cranium, has reportedly suggested that Obama should be criminally referred to the Department of Justice for treason and criminal prosecution [1], [4]. Leavitt herself claimed that the Obama administration engaged in a gross politicization and manipulation of intelligence with the intention of delegitimizing President Trump [7]. She emphasized that President Trump wants Obama to be held accountable [3].
Obama. Accountable. Says the 34-time convicted felon.
The Call for Accountability (and Other Directives)
Reporters at the briefing inquired about these discussions of criminal prosecution and investigation for former President Obama [4]. Leavitt clarified President Trump’s position, stating he had directed the FBI and Department of Justice to release any credible evidence related to Epstein, a separate, though equally serious, matter [2]. She also reportedly sparred with a reporter over alleged pressure from President Trump to pursue charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James [5], underscoring a broader theme of presidential interest in accountability across various fronts. It’s his greatest hits of vengeance and victimhood, played on a turntable that can’t maintain the right speed. You remember record players, right? No?
What Does This Mean for the Political Landscape?
The White House, through Leavitt, is clearly doubling down on the accusation that the former President conspired to subvert the 2016 election [6]. This isn’t just a political jab; it’s a formal accusation coming from the podium. For those of us just trying to keep up with the news, it’s a reminder that the twice impeached, 34x felon, adjudicated sexual assaulter, and fraudster occupying the White House isn’t gonna be happy until he gets to put a checkmark next to everyone’s name on his enemies list.
