BENEDICT OBAMA ☙ Wednesday, July 23, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS
Coffee & Covid ^ | July 23rd 2025 | Jeff Childers

Yesterday, seated in the Oval Office beside a visibly stunned Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. —who thought he was attending a trade deal announcement and suddenly looked like he’d accidentally wandered into a political nuclear test— President Trump said the slowly boiling truth out loud.

He accused Barack Obama of treason. On camera. In front of foreign heads of state and his top cabinet!

Trump didn’t hedge, tease, or suggest. He boldly declared, “They have him stone cold. And it was President Obama. Barack Hussein Obama, he’s guilty. It’s not a question. This was treason.”

Even for Trump, it was a Rubicon moment— one that shattered a hundred years of presidential restraint. You’d think WaPo might start there. Or maybe lean into the “revenge!” theme they themselves built during the election.

It is impossible to believe Trump would’ve made that bold claim —so stark, so direct, so public— without knowing there’s a formal DOJ investigation already underway. Trump understands defamation law better than most lawyers. You don’t accuse a former president of treason in front of the entire world unless you have proof; maybe even something close to prosecutable evidence.

And that’s not exaggeration. Based on the strength of Trump’s words, and the solemnity of the venue, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn a grand jury is already hearing evidence.

What made Trump’s moment yesterday so Rubicon-like wasn’t the accusation itself. It was the irreversible commitment it represented. You don’t accuse a former president of treason —on camera, in the Oval Office, claiming you have the proof— and later shrug it off as political theater. Sorry, never mind!

There’s no walking this back. No “whoops; just asking questions” lifeline. Trump has cast the dice, and now the Fates are spinning up their thread—measuring, cutting, and preparing for the reckoning to come.

It’s not a political strategy. It is High Noon in Washington. Either Obama faces justice, or Trump’s presidency is buried beneath the weight of his own words.

It’s Thunderdome. Two men enter, one man leaves. It’s that simple.

Barack Obama’s office responded to Trump’s Oval Office treason accusation by calling it… a “distraction.”

Not defamation. Not libel. Not even baseless. Just a distraction.

“Distraction” is a bizarre word to choose when a sitting president has just accused you of the most serious crime in the Constitution, on camera, from the Oval Office, with foreign heads of state watching and evidence allegedly in hand.

Where’s the angry denial? The threats of legal action? The righteous fury? You’d expect Obama’s office —following Trump’s example, a perfect setup— to unload both barrels, to drop the full weight of prestige, moral clarity, and legal firepower. But nope. Instead, we got Obama spokesweasel Patrick Rodenbush blinking in the sunlight and muttering something about a distraction.

I am not nearly bold enough to predict an Obama arrest. It seems unthinkable. But is it, really? It wouldn’t be historic if Obama were arrested, since they arrested Trump. An Obama conviction wouldn’t even be historic, since they criminally convicted Trump of mislabeling check stubs or something.

Think about this, hard. Trump and his allies have already been indicted, tried, and in some cases convicted for the exact same core crime now facing Barack Obama. Trump’s conviction in New York —though dressed up as a salacious, absurdly large-chested “business records” case— was explicitly framed by prosecutors as part of an election interference scheme.

Jack Smith’s federal case centered on election interference through obstruction and conspiracy. The Fulton County indictments in Georgia? Election interference. And Trump’s so-called “co-conspirators”—several of whom have already pleaded guilty in the “Fake Electors” case—were all charged with conspiracy to interfere with the outcome of a presidential election.

In short, the legal system has already established that election interference is a jailable offense for former presidents and their teams. The precedent is not a law school hypothetical. It’s already case law.

Will there be an arrest? Dunno. But maybe the better question is: why wouldn’t there be an arrest?

How about, there better be a G’Damn arrest? There better be a whole lot of arrests.

Obama and his D party put Trump and all of us through hell. Now payback’s a real bitch.

We’re dealing with, at minimum, two sets of crimes here.

The Russia Steele Dossier created before the election and the Russia Collusion Hoax that it morphed into after the election.

The second is the most serious. It was intentional and targeted to obstruct lawful government processes and was done by government officials.

All of them should be indicted for obstruction of justice and seditious conspiracy at a minimum..............

It has become obvious over time that all along that the perfidious Democrat tactic has been to break any manner of law that impeded their path to their seditious goals, and then as an obfuscating and defensive tactic to accuse Trump and people in his administration of engaging in exactly the same lawless behavior they have engaged in.

They have been doing it and continue to do it by leveragingevery aspect of the American government, media, education, legal system, and entertainment.

And keep in mind these entities I listed in the previous sentence above did not “fall for it“.

They were largely complicit and willing collaborators in this illegality and fraud to deceive, impoverish, and persecute American citizens, aid our enemies, foreign and domestic, and to conceal their own traeason, sedition, and lawlessness from Americans.

My concern, and it is shared by many, is that Bondi/DOJ is going to screw this up. I think Trump will monitor them and hopefully scare the hell out of them so they do it right.

What is amazing is that in light of the Democrat’s “studies” and “outreach efforts” (like the analysis of why men don’t want to vote for Democrats) they seem not to realize what the real issue is-this illegality and persecution of citizens by their own elected government.

Yep, I'd add that the lack of accountability feeds this. We need to end it, prosecutions will help.

That is why I was delighted to hear the primary rationale for Tulsi Gabbard’s release of this information on Friday (from her own mouth) was: “accountability”.

I had to radically change my opinion on Tulsi Gabbard after I saw an interview she did with Tucker Carlson back in the spring of 2024.

I thought she was a snake in the grass who was positioning herself for a Presidential run by simply leveraging her military service and her sex to try to appeal to a broader coalition of liberals and conservatives. (Aiming primarily at the “political center” instead of the extremes.)

I did not trust her at all, but after I saw her interview, I realized why she made a radical shift, and that it was a genuine change, not a contrived one.

In summary, her whole party had turned on her and made her an enemy, exactly what the Obama and Biden Administrations had done to tens or even hundreds of millions of Americans.

It has been my experience that getting people to change their minds on something they have heavily invested in is one of the most difficult things for any person do.

And for Leftists, it is even harder because they have invested in Leftism even more heavily by forcing their minds to accept things that all their senses tell them are simply not true. That is, they have forcibly and willingly built an intellectual wall around their bastion of Leftism to the point that it becomes internally unassailable to them.

And the only way that hard-core Leftists can escape from it is via a traumatic or significant event, kind of like an alcoholic who becomes sober because they finally hit rock bottom and have nowhere else to go but up.

The best example of this is the story of the famous Conservative David Horowitz. In his exemplary book “Radical Son”, he talks about his life growing up in the Fifties as a “Red Diaper Baby” under the influence of his American communist parents, and his life as a radical Leftist, an intellectual who was seen as one of the most committed and hardcore lights of the Left who rose to be a close public advocate and paid administrator for the Black Panthers.

He convinced the Black Panthers to hire a friend of his, a white woman named Betty van Patter as a bookkeeper for their radical organization, when they got paranoid and thought she knew too much and had her murdered (and raped to make it look like a random act of violence) he had to face the truth, because he knew they did it. He began a personally painful, decade long break from Leftism that culminated in his vote for Ronald Reagan in 1980.

In the case of Tulsi Gabbard, when the Left turned against her, someone who had been the Vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, she was forced to examine the people she was allied with. That was her traumatic event that caused her to change first to an Independent, and then to a Republican.

and they didn't just "turn" on her. They were firing both barrels trying to totally destroy her. She saw the corrupt inner belly of the Leftist Democrats and it revolted her.

Yes.

And I will say, it was a hard row for me to hoe to publicly and unequivocally change my opinion on her on this forum. Before I changed my mind, I could not see a thread about her on Free Republic without feeling obliged to jump in and paint her in the most uncivil terms.

But back then, after seeing that interview, I had to broadcast publicly to everyone on this forum why I had changed my mind about her, and why I thought it was genuine.
