Former Intel Officer Says Obama Could Be First Former President with a Felony IndictmentTo be sure, this is mostly speculation, but given Shaffer’s lengthy military career, his rise to the top of the American intelligence community, and his current role as a senior fellow at the prestigious London Center for Policy Research,
his speculation carried more weight than that of ill-informed media pundits and narrative-pushing Democrats.
If indeed it does turn out to be the case that the Obama administration illegally surveilled Trump’s team ahead of Election Day as some have speculated,
the end result could be the unprecedented indictment of a former president on felony charges.
Calling the alleged incident an “order of magnitude” bigger than the Watergate scandal, Shaffer stated that the incident would have included “
using nation-state resources for purposes of political gain.”
Humphries asked if, should everything turn out to be true,
Obama would be arrested and held accountable for violating the laws.
“This could be the first time a former president could be indicted for a felony,” Shaffer answered. “Because I think it is very possible that he acted outside of the scope of his duties, responsibilities and authorities
to turn the resources of a nation-state on a candidate.”
“This is, as I’ve said before,
soviet-dictator level wrongdoing,” he added.
Shaffer also noted that,
given Obama’s use of government resources to conduct other spying operations, it was easy to imagine him doing the same against Trump, particularly while working under the assumption that Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton would easily win the general election and keep the subterfuge against Trump under wraps.
