Poll: Majority Believes Obama Administration 'Committed Crimes' with Russiagate

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says there is "overwhelming evidence" that President Barack Obama and his administration helped create the hoax that Donald Trump cooperated with Russia to help him win the 2016 presidential election.

Now, a new poll shows that a majority of voters believe the same and those involved should be prosecuted for their crimes.

According to a survey released on Monday by Rasmussen, 69 percent of likely voters said those who committed crimes in the Russiagate scandal should be prosecuted.

Participants were asked, “Do you agree or disagree with this statement about the manipulation of intelligence in the Obama administration: ‘Accountability has to take place. … It is critical for the survival of our country that people who perpetrate such crimes are held accountable?'"

54 percent said members of former President Barack Obama’s national security team likely “committed crimes” when they “manipulated and manufactured intelligence to promote a false narrative about Russia and President Donald Trump.”

Within that number, 37 percent said it is very likely crimes were committed. 41 percent didn't think it’s likely crimes were committed by Obama administration officials. 28 percent said it’s “not at all likely.”

Over 50 percent saying it's likely Team Obama committed crimes and nearly 70 percent saying anyone who did should be prosecuted...

That's not a good public temperature for the former president.

More importantly, if what Gabbard alleges is true, and Obama and his staff really did try to undermine the results of a democratically decided election to hurt the incoming president, why WOULDN'T they be prosecuted?

Special Counsel Robert Mueller conducted a two-year investigation into Democrats' Russian collusion charges and found...

Nothing. Zilch. Zero.

Still, that misinformation was put out there. We know Hillary Clinton's involvement with the phony Steele Dossier.

But who else was involved?

Tulsi Gabbard claims to have that evidence. According to this poll, a majority of Americans are eager for her to find out what really happened and who else, exactly, was involved.
