Absolutely Not – Senators Graham and Cornyn Ask DOJ to Appoint Special Counsel to Investigate President Obama and Intelligence Weaponization Against Trump
Conservative Treehouse ^ | July 25, 2025 | Sundance

Posted on 07/25/2025 2:36:44 PM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

Senator Lindsey Graham (Judiciary Committee) and Senator John Cornyn (SSCI) are requesting Attorney General Pam Bondi to appoint a special counsel to look into the Obama administration’s weaponization of the U.S. Intelligence Community to target Donald Trump with fabricated smears and false evidence using a fraudulent Russia connection.

This should be an immediate hard no for a few reasons. Number one, the special counsel process is where investigations go to die intentionally as a design of the legislative branch defense process. Second, the special counsel would not have cross-silo access to exfiltrate information unless it was accompanied by very specific Presidential authority. It just will not work.

Special Counsel is only warranted when there is a conflict of interest within DOJ. There is none.

No Special Counsel. Investigations go there to die. The main DOJ can prosecute under the control of Bondi.

I’m still waiting for Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr and his Whitewater investigation to expose something, lol.

Poor John Wayne McCornyn, having to play like he is actually a conservative because he’s over 20 points behind and fears getting stomped in the primary.

When our daugher was 12 she was demonstrably smarter than Joe Biden. The man was laughingly known as the dumbest member of the Senate- which says something!

To suggest that Hunter is “smarter” means what” That dad was a bigger dumb ass than he? Morally speaking I’d call it a toss up.

These deep state hacks know an SC would be the best way to kill this.

No to corrupt special councils. They are just fixers. Deal with it the old fashioned way with a real trial. The only reason two Rino’s want this is to make it go away.

“Special Counsel is only warranted when there is a conflict of interest within DOJ.”

Not quite. The conflict of interest concerns high ranking officials within the executive department, and not just the DOJ, i.e., Nixon/Watergate, Clinton/Whitewater; Trump/Russia.

The original special counsel was to get rid of Nixon. Ever since, the purpose of the special counsel has been two-fold: to destroy anyone who happens to be normal (aka “far right”), and to make cover for anyone who happens to be an Obama/Biden supporter (aka “bipartisan”).

Let special counsel die. Obama is untouchable (Trump discussed this today), but the courts can put the rest in prison, if we only make it our priority.

“I can’t comment about an ongoing investigation”

Then when Trump’s term is over a very expensive but useless report will be revealed.

We’ve seen it all before.

President’s are immune of what they do in the normal course of their duties. I highly doubt Obama would get immunity for treason. He’d likely have more luck just by being half black and no-one really wanted to imprison a former POTUS.

Congress should have hearings and only from those hearings should Congress act to request a special prosecutor, if it chooses; it should not be done just because a couple reps think it should.

So, two of the top RINOs/Democrat Assistants want a special counsel now? Hell to the no on that. They’re just trying to “assist” their real friends across the aisle by pretending to want to get to the bottom of things, while ensuring that it will be pigeon-holed and eventually forgotten about. Uh uh! Nope. Trump should tell them to sit down and shut the hell up.
