# Washington BLOWN WIDE OPEN. A Political Bombshell Just Dropped: Pam Bondi Accuses Barack Obama of Secretly Engineering the 2016 “Russian Interference” Narrative
**Washington, D.C. — November 6, 2025** — The marble corridors of Capitol Hill, usually a labyrinth of whispered deals and calculated handshakes, erupted into chaos yesterday as former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi unleashed a political thermonuclear device: a blistering accusation that former President Barack Obama personally orchestrated the 2016 “Russian interference” narrative as a deliberate hoax to sabotage Donald Trump’s presidential bid. In a fiery press conference at the Heritage Foundation, flanked by declassified dossiers and a phalanx of Trump loyalists, Bondi demanded a full federal investigation, branding the episode “the greatest political frame job in American history.” But the real detonator wasn’t just the Obama allegation—it was the cascade of names she implicated next: a rogue’s gallery of Obama-era intelligence titans, including ex-CIA Director John Brennan, former DNI James Clapper, and ex-FBI Director James Comey, whom she accused of “treasonous collusion” to fabricate evidence. “These aren’t footnotes; they’re felonies,” Bondi thundered, her voice echoing off the wood-paneled walls as gasps rippled through the crowd. The shockwaves are already shattering old alliances across D.C., with GOP hardliners baying for indictments, Democrats circling the wagons, and even some establishment Republicans scrambling to distance themselves from the brewing inferno. As #ObamaHoax trends with 4.2 million posts on X, Washington braces for a reckoning that could unravel a decade of narratives—and perhaps, some long-buried secrets.

Bondi’s broadside, delivered at 2:15 p.m. ET amid a scrum of Fox News cameras and red-hatted supporters, builds on a summer of simmering tensions but escalates them to DEFCON 1. As Trump’s nominee for U.S. Attorney General—confirmed in a 52-48 Senate vote last month—Bondi has positioned herself as the administration’s chief inquisitor, launching probes into everything from Big Tech censorship to Biden family finances. Her latest salvo stems from a July declassification blitz by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who released a trove of ODNI memos alleging Obama officials “doctored” the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) to paint Russia as Trump’s puppet master. Gabbard, the Hawaii Democrat-turned-Trump VP shortlister, called it a “treasonous conspiracy” at a White House briefing, referring criminal charges to Bondi’s DOJ. Bondi, wasting no time, empaneled a grand jury in August under U.S. Attorney Ed Martin in St. Louis, issuing subpoenas for Brennan’s emails and Clapper’s calendars. Yesterday’s presser was the payoff: “Barack Obama didn’t just know—he directed it,” Bondi claimed, waving a redacted memo purportedly showing Obama ordering a “more damning” ICA draft in December 2016, post-election, to “shield the Clinton loss.”

The bombshell’s core: Bondi alleges Obama, in a December 2016 Oval Office huddle with Brennan, Clapper, Comey, and Susan Rice, greenlit the ICA’s “high confidence” conclusion that Russia “sought to help Trump win”—despite raw intel showing Moscow’s aim was broader chaos, not candidate-specific sabotage. Drawing from Gabbard’s files and a fresh whistleblower affidavit from a retired NSA analyst, Bondi painted a conspiracy: Brennan “cherry-picking” FISA warrants on Carter Page, Clapper “leaking” to CNN for anti-Trump spin, Comey “weaponizing” the Steele Dossier despite knowing its Clinton funding ties. “This wasn’t intelligence; it was interference,” Bondi roared, echoing Trump’s long-standing “Obamagate” rants. The grand jury, she revealed, has already subpoenaed Rice’s “CYA” email memorializing the meeting—long dismissed as routine—and Brennan’s post-retirement notes from his MSNBC gigs. But the gut-punch came next: Bondi implicated **Hillary Clinton** as the “architect,” citing declassified emails showing her campaign’s role in seeding the Alfa Bank-Trump Tower “server” hoax, and **Joe Biden**, then-VP, as a “silent enabler” who allegedly quashed early probes into Clinton’s role. “The elite cabal that ran Washington for decades is crumbling,” Bondi declared, her words landing like grenades in a room packed with Heritage donors and Hill interns live-tweeting furiously.
The fallout was instantaneous, a D.C. earthquake registering 9.2 on the political Richter scale. Trump’s Truth Social lit up at 2:47 p.m.: “Pam Bondi just EXPOSED the BIGGEST HOAX EVER! Obama, Hillary, Biden—LOCK THEM ALL UP! The TRUTH is out—Russiagate was OBAMAGATE! #MAGA.” The post racked 2.1 million likes in 30 minutes, spawning memes of Obama in a striped prison jumpsuit dancing to “Despacito.” GOP hardliners mobilized: House Oversight Chair James Comer vowed hearings “next week,” subpoenaing Comey for January 5, 2027—echoing the infamous Obama-Comey meeting. Sen. Lindsey Graham, Judiciary Chair, pledged “full Senate resources,” his face grim on Fox: “If true, this is Watergate on steroids.” Even RINO whispers fractured: Mitt Romney, long a Trump skeptic, issued a cautious statement: “Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence—let’s see the memos.”
Democrats detonated in fury, branding it “Trump’s revenge porn.” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer thundered from the floor: “Bondi’s grandstanding is a dangerous distraction from real threats—like Trump’s Epstein file fumbles.” AOC live-tweeted: “Obamagate 2.0? This is birtherism with badges. Pam’s playing prosecutor for Putin.” Pelosi, from her Napa vineyard, faxed a missive: “Weaponizing the DOJ against predecessors is Nixonian—Congress must investigate Bondi.” Obama, ever the sphinx, broke silence at 4:22 p.m. via a foundation statement: “These recycled smears dishonor the patriots who protected our democracy from foreign threats. The facts—from Mueller to the Senate—speak for themselves.” Brennan, from his Langley exile, fired back on CNN: “Bondi’s chasing shadows to cover Trump’s sins—Russia meddled, full stop.” Comey, tweeting from his memoir tour: “History will judge this as the true hoax.”

The implicated names—Clinton’s “server” seeds, Biden’s “silent nods”—are the real gut-punch, scrambling D.C.’s elite like roaches under a floodlight. Clinton’s camp, prepping her 2028 whispers, issued a defiant denial: “Hillary warned of Russian threats in 2016—Bondi’s flipping facts like pancakes.” Biden, golfing in Delaware, deferred to his foundation: “Joe’s legacy is unity, not conspiracy—let the courts decide.” But whispers in K Street salons suggest deeper fissures: Moderate Dems like Sen. Joe Manchin eyeing cross-aisle testimony, while GOP donors hedge bets—$5 million in PAC shifts from anti-Trump holdouts to MAGA coffers overnight, per OpenSecrets.
Legal eagles circle warily. “Bondi’s grand jury is a fishing expedition with dynamite,” says ex-prosecutor Glenn Kirschner. “Statutes expired years ago, but if they unearth fresh docs, it’s indictments galore.” The OCE, already swamped with 47 complaints, fast-tracks review; Mueller alums brace for subpoenas. Polls quiver: A RealClearPolitics average shows Trump’s approval spiking 4 points to 52%, with 61% of independents “intrigued” by the probe.
As fog rolls over the Potomac, D.C.’s elite hunker down—lawyers on speed dial, alliances fracturing like fault lines. Bondi’s bomb isn’t just accusation; it’s apocalypse now for the old guard. Obama watches from Kalorama, stoic as ever. But in this town of secrets, one truth endures: When Pam Bondi swings, she swings for the fences. And yesterday, she cracked the vault wide open.
