Since President Donald Trump’s historic victory in 2016, Democrats have relentlessly pushed the now-debunked narrative that his campaign colluded with Russia to sway the election.
They didn’t just question the outcome – they amplified the narrative with politically charged rhetoric that deepened national division.
“The actions of the Trump presidency have revealed the dishonorable fact of the president’s betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security, and betrayal of the integrity of our elections,” declared Speaker Nancy Pelosi on September 24, 2019.
For four years, Democrats relentlessly pursued Donald Trump – weaponizing investigations and working to delegitimize his presidency. Then, in 2021, they shattered historical precedent by voting to impeach him after he had already left office – an action no former president had ever faced.
Their justification was rooted in Article I, Section 3, Clause 7 of the Constitution; impeachment, they argued, isn’t solely about removal from office – it also serves to bar individuals from ever holding public office again.
But with the recent release of declassified documents by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard – revealing how the Obama administration manipulated intelligence assessments to sabotage Trump’s 2016 victory – Democrats may have opened a constitutional door they now regret.
Former Trump impeachment attorney David Schoen believes that door swings both ways – and could hit Obama squarely on his legacy.
In a July 27, 2025 appearance on Newsmax, and in a subsequent appearance on The StoneZONE on 77WABC, Schoen laid out what could be the most explosive constitutional argument of our time: that Barack Obama is eligible for impeachment even as a former president.
More significantly, Schoen contends that newly declassified intelligence could implicate Obama in what amounts to a treasonous abuse of power – weaponizing the U.S. intelligence community to interfere in the 2016 election and delegitimize Trump’s presidency through the now-discredited Russia collusion narrative.
If proven true – and the facts increasingly point in that direction – Obama’s alleged orchestration of an intelligence operation against a political opponent under false pretenses wouldn’t merely constitute dirty politics. It could constitute a seditious conspiracy, representing a calculated effort to weaponize the government’s machinery to subvert a democratic election and undermine a duly elected president.
This unprecedented abuse of power is undeniably impeachable.
What’s more, the constitutional precedent set by Trump’s second impeachment could strip Obama of any legal immunity, exposing him to charges ranging from obstruction of justice and abuse of power to perjury.
And even treason. The American people deserve nothing less than equal justice under the law – not political immunity cloaked in the guise of protecting a legacy.
