Not a chance. Some lackey would take the fall for him.

Sending him to jail over this would be a waste of opportunity.

No reason he could not. Nixon could have potentially gone to jail had his actions warranted such prosecution and conviction, however Ford pardoning him quashed that possibility.

It's hard to envision Trump being as lenient with his own immediate predecessor however.

The obvious hurdle is that Obama is going to be deemed "too big to jail" by Democrats, by the press, by too many Republicans even (and you KNOW that worthless ex-pres GWB is going to weigh in on Obama's side).

But as the evidence mounts, it may be nearly impossible to shield Obama and his cronies.

Odds of Obama or anyone high up doing the frog march? I'd say 15%. For now.

Ordered will be watered down to consented to the surveillance.

Is consent adequate for Obama to be a conspirator?

Even if Obola were to openly,and in detail,*admit* to having done so in a way that violates Federal law *nothing* would happen to him.There's be no grand jury,no formal charges lodged,no trial.And on top of that there'd be demonstrations nationwide reminiscent of MonicaGate..."IT WAS ONLY WIRETAPPING" and "EVERYBODY DOES IT".
