Two senators are calling for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate, and possibly prosecute, the manipulation of America’s security apparatus by Barack Obama and team of his supporters.

The call is coming from Senate Republicans Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and John Cornyn, R-Teas

Their request has been directed to Attorney General Pam Bondi, to appoint a special counsel to investigate evidence released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who declassified papers she has characterized as showing plans by Obama and officials in his administration to hurt Trump.

The Washington Examiner reports both senators are on the Judiciary Committee.

They stated, in an announcement, “For the good of the country, we urge Attorney General Bondi to appoint a special counsel to investigate the extent to which former President Obama, his staff, and administration officials manipulated the U.S. national security apparatus for a political outcome.”

They charged that evidence released by Gabbard has confirmed it is “evident that the entire Russia collusion hoax was created by the Obama administration to subvert the will of the American people.”

There have been multiple calls for Obama and others to be investigated and even charged for making up stories about Trump and trying to undermine the agenda of a duly elected president.

“Gabbard has claimed Obama officials ‘manufactured’ evidence of 2016 Russian election interference and accused them of leading a ‘treasonous conspiracy.’ Gabbard revealed Wednesday she’d referred Obama and former senior aides to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution,” the report noted.

A spokesman for Obama claimed the Democrat normally does not “dignify” White House statements with a response, but cited a Senate report from years ago that said Russians tried to influence the election but couldn’t make a change in the results.

The Obama spokesman said the new allegations “are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.”

Cornyn said, “There’s no question the Russians tried to do what the Russians always tried to do, but there’s no evidence of collusion. There is evidence that members of the Obama administration essentially started a witch hunt against President Trump, which fell under the heading of the Russia hoax investigation.”
