Trump’s accusation of Obama of betrayal reveals the deterioration of political discourse in America

US President Donald Trump believes that former US President Barack Obama committed a crime of treason, a crime that could be a death penalty. While seeking to pay attention from his current political suffering, Trump is trying to reopen a case that took place nearly a decade ago, related to Russia’s intervention in the 2016 US elections, and Trump won it after defeating his democratic competitor, Hillary Clinton.

But Trump is wrong about facts and law, and his controversial allegations prove only the extent of the deterioration of contemporary political discourse in the United States in a comprehensive way.

Trump condemned his predecessor Obama, after the National Security Director, Lucy Gabbard, asked the Ministry of Justice to investigate whether the security personnel during the Obama administration have forged evidence of Russian efforts aimed at influencing the 2016 elections.

And when a question was asked: Who should be targeted in the investigation? During a press conference in the Oval Office, Trump said: “President Obama will be the one who started this, and this was betrayal. Every word you can think of. They tried to steal the elections, and they tried to obscure the elections, and they have never imagined, even in other countries. ”

Trump mentioned other people, including former President, Joe Biden, former FBI director James Komey, former National Intelligence Director, James Clapper, and former CIA director John Brennan, as other potential accused in this case.

President Trump’s history gained from the reckless statements a kind of immunity. The more terrible his statements, the more he was rejected. But Trump made a mistake in his statement this time, he is not just a president, but he is, and most importantly, the supervisor of the Ministry of Justice is unusually committed, and his spontaneous condemnation of his predecessor Obama, of great importance and frightening at the same time.

betrayal

In fact, Trump stressed that the intended “treason” investigation takes its own course. The Public Prosecutor, Bam Bondi, announced that a “striking force” of the Ministry of Justice will investigate these allegations against Obama and others. Two members of the Republican Congress, Lindsay Graham and John Cornene, called for a special advisor to supervise the real progress.

Betrayal is the only crime that the constitution has known, indicating that it is shown in a related part that it provides “assistance and comfort” to our enemies. In a repetition of a claim, Trump and his allies have been repeating for years, Gabbard said that “former President Obama, after the defeat of the democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton against President Trump in the 2016 elections, asked to prepare an evaluation of the intelligence services, they knew he was wrong.”

Gabbard, specifically, cited pairing points prepared in 2016, which stipulated that “foreign opponents did not use electronic attacks on the election infrastructure to change the results of the US presidential elections.” In light of this, Gabbard said, on social media, that the Obama administration “promoted a lie, that Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Russian government provided Trump to win the 2016 elections.”

But Obama or his advisers did not declare that the Russians attacked the election infrastructure in order to provide help to Trump, to change the election results, or similar things. On the contrary, some investigators have proven that the Internet pirates in Russia attacked the Hillary Clinton election campaign by stealing and violating its email, and no one knows this as Trump himself knows, who has repeatedly martyred by the Cleunton emailing during the crowds held by his supporters in his election campaign, and said that she deserves to be tried.

All investigations of the 2016 election campaign, including the Congress Security Committee in 2018, reached the same result. “We have discovered an unimaginable evidence on the intervention of the Russians in the elections,” said a member of Congress, Marco Rubio, who is now the Secretary of the Trump administration. In other words, the Obama administration’s conclusion was not a crime, not to mention being betrayal, but rather a realistic statement.

Mismanagement

A spokesman for Obama rejected the accusations of President Trump, and considered it “ridiculous, and a weak attempt to pay attention”, but this accusation serves Bondi and Trump’s political purposes. Perhaps the public prosecutor is eager to delight her president, because she is not in full agreement with him.

Bondi created Trump’s political crisis by mismanagement of the disclosure of information related to the late Jeffrey Ibstin, President of President Trump. In response to the demands of the conspiracy theory in Trump, the Prosecutor revealed a set of documents that they claimed were secret, amid a media sensation, which was not absolutely secret, and everyone knows this, then she said, in fact, that there is no longer what can be found, but she did not succeed in revealing the lectures of the major jury in the case. What is the best way to take Bondi, to help the president to divert the attention of Americans away from Epsin files, from starting investigations on the charge of treason directed to former President Obama?

This investigation is evident in the fact that Obama has almost confirmed immunity from the prosecution, thanks to President Trump and the Supreme Court. In its decision issued last year in the Trump case against the United States, the court ruled that there is an assumption that former presidents cannot be prosecuted for any “official” behavior they committed during their period of assuming their positions, and that preparing and publishing the results of intelligence from the official tasks of the presidency, and therefore, it is prohibited as a basis for any criminal charges.

But it seems that highlighting this matter involves almost insecurity for former President Obama, because it suggests that he will escape the prosecution only due to the unfortunate legal gaps approved by the Supreme Court in the Trump case, while the most important reason is much simpler, as President Obama did not commit any crime.

With the passage of years, Trump said a lot of shocking things, to the extent that it is tempting to ignore this statement as well, using familiar excuses, for example, that the president should be taken seriously, but not literally, or that the matter was just “Trump’s actions”, but the truth remains that the President of the United States stated that his predecessor committed a crime that requires death.

Nevertheless, there is an official investigation that is taking place now, but such judicial prosecution and judgment are still excluded, but evoking such a possibility by a president who initiated the prosecution of the judicial prosecution suggests that the country has moved to an unprecedented era of hatred and revenge.
