House Speaker Mike Johnson isn’t mincing words — he’s weighing a subpoena against former President Barack Obama to get to the bottom of what many are calling a political coup attempt against President Trump. Johnson made his position clear in an interview with reporter David Brody: “I think we have a responsibility to follow the truth, where it leads. To do effectively the opposite of what that other team did — they were engaged in a partisan political plot to take down their foe in the other party. We need to be about the rule of law and bring an order to the chaos and searching out the truth because the American people are owed those answers.” And when it comes to Obama’s involvement, Johnson added, “If it’s uncomfortable for him, he shouldn’t have been involved in overseeing this, which is what it appears to us has happened.”
This is not just political theater — the allegations run deep. Former Democratic Congresswoman and National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard recently sounded the alarm, pointing to records indicating that President Obama himself colluded with intelligence agencies to manufacture the now-debunked Russia narrative aimed at discrediting Trump’s 2016 victory. Gabbard didn’t mince her words: “There was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of government. Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the president from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people.” She described this as an “egregious abuse of power and blatant rejection of our Constitution” — a chilling reminder of the stakes when unelected bureaucrats and political elites coordinate to override the voice of the voters.
Gabbard emphasized that this wasn’t mere speculation. “Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama if just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected,” she stated. What’s at risk is more than partisan victory — it’s the integrity of the republic itself. As Gabbard put it, “This is not a Democrat or Republican issue — this is an issue that is so, so serious, it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our democratic republic.” Speaker Johnson’s call for accountability might finally drag these covert operations into the daylight — where they belong.
