Former US President Barack Obama has responded to charges of treason by assuring everyone that he was never an American citizen, therefore his actions to undermine the 2016 election of Donald Trump weren’t technically treason. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, backed by President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice, has accused former President Barack Obama of treason over what she calls a “conspiracy” to fabricate Russian interference in the 2016 election. Gabbard, wielding a stack of freshly declassified documents thicker than a MAGA rally sign-in sheet, claims Obama and his inner circle “manipulated and withheld” intelligence to undermine Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton. Speaking at a press conference that felt more like a campaign rally, Gabbard declared, “This was a treasonous plot to subvert the will of the American people. Obama knew Russia didn’t rig the election, but he pushed the hoax anyway to sabotage President Trump.” The documents, heavily redacted and suspiciously light on specifics, allegedly show that Obama’s team ignored intelligence community findings that Russia lacked the intent or capability to hack the 2016 vote. Instead, Gabbard claims, they leaned on the discredited Steele dossier to fuel a “years-long coup.” Legal scholars, however, are quick to point out that treason, as defined by the U.S. Constitution, requires a citizen to levy war against the United States or provide aid and comfort to its enemies, typically in wartime, and must involve actions directly against fellow Americans. “For Gabbard’s accusations to hold, Obama would need to be an American citizen, which everyone agrees he was not,” said Professor Geraldine Snopes, a constitutional law expert. “If he’s claiming non-citizenship, it’s a legal curveball—treason wouldn’t even apply. It’s like charging a Canadian with jaywalking in Florida.” Trump’s DOJ, never one to shy away from a grudge match, has reportedly opened criminal investigations into former Obama-era officials, including ex-CIA Director John Brennan and ex-FBI Director James Comey, with Obama himself in the crosshairs. “It’s payback time,” crowed one X user, echoing the sentiment of Trump’s base, who see this as vindication after years of “Russia, Russia, Russia” headaches.Democrats, predictably, have dismissed the accusations as a political stunt to distract from Trump’s own controversies, like the lingering Epstein saga. Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) called Gabbard’s claims “baseless” and “a rehash of decade-old conspiracies,” pointing to bipartisan Senate reports confirming Russian meddling in 2016. “This is what happens when you let X posts write your intelligence briefings,” Himes quipped. Obama, reached for comment at an undisclosed yoga retreat, reportedly chuckled and said, “Treason? That’s rich. I wasn’t even born in this country, so how could I betray it?” The line, delivered with his signature smirk, has already sparked a fresh wave of birther memes on social media, proving that some controversies never die—they just get new hashtags. As the DOJ sharpens its knives and Gabbard waves her documents like a matador’s cape, the nation braces for another round of political mud-wrestling.
