‘You Manufactured the Russian Hoax!’ — Pete Hegseth Demands a Federal Probe into Barack Obama’s Alleged Involvement in Creating the 2016 Election Interference Story. But Obama’s Surprising Silence Has Washington on Edge…
Washington, D.C. – In a fiery Fox News appearance, Pete Hegseth – President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense – directly accused former President Barack Obama of being the “chief architect” behind the “Russia election interference hoax” of 2016. Hegseth demanded an immediate independent federal investigation into Obama’s role, framing it not as partisan revenge but as exposing “state-level abuse of power to overthrow a duly elected president.”
Hegseth’s logic is airtight: The Steele dossier – the cornerstone of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative – was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and DNC, yet weaponized by Obama’s CIA to secure FISA warrants spying on Trump advisor Carter Page. “Obama knew everything! He chaired Oval Office meetings on Crossfire Hurricane just days before Trump’s inauguration. This is hard evidence: No Russia hoax, no Mueller probe, no impeachments. Obama must answer!”, Hegseth declared, citing declassified Durham Report findings from 2023 that prove the FBI ignored red flags about the dossier’s fabrication.
Countering Democratic defenses that Obama merely “oversaw routine intelligence” – a claim Hegseth dismantles with real-world contradictions: If Russian interference was truly existential, why did Obama wait until the 11th hour with toothless sanctions instead of pre-election action? “That’s the logical tell: They needed a post-election ‘October surprise’ to delegitimize Trump. Obama’s silence today is an admission of guilt!”, Hegseth fired back, exposing the tactical timeline as proof of manufactured crisis.
Obama’s eerie silence has only fueled speculation. No public statement from the former president or his spokespeople, despite Hegseth’s direct challenge. Sources close to the Trump transition say the probe could subpoena Oval Office logs, CIA memos, and even Obama’s private emails – documents Durham hinted at but lacked authority to unseal. Legal experts note statute-of-limitations hurdles, but Hegseth insists: “This isn’t about jail; it’s about truth. The American people deserve to know if their government was turned against them.”
Critics call it a witch hunt, but Hegseth counters with precedent: “Watergate started with a break-in; this was a break-in of democracy itself.” As Trump’s team prepares for January, the pressure mounts. Will Obama break his silence, or let history judge? Washington holds its breath.
