Michael Flynn floats 'military trial for Obama' despite presidential immunity
Disgraced former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn suggested former President Barack Obama should face a "military trial" after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused him of a "treasonous conspiracy" to undermine Donald Trump's presidency.
"I think immediately, immediately, the Department of Justice should suspend or revoke the passports of every single person that was in the national security component of the Obama regime and probably Biden, starting with starting with Obama himself," Flynn told MAGA influencer Steve Bannon on Monday. "I mean, do not allow these people to abscond this from the United States of America because some of them, I guarantee, are contemplating it because of what has been exposed."
"Pam Bondi needs to put a federal law enforcement task force together right now, and they need to start looking at which homes they're going to raid, just like they raided Mar-a-Lago and President Trump," he continued. "They need to start thinking about raiding some of these other people because I guarantee they have in their own files in their homes more evidence that belongs to the U.S. government."
Flynn suggested Obama could be tried by a military tribunal despite the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that found presidents have near absolute immunity for official acts.
"We are looking at the potential, you know, because Obama was a commander in chief, right?" Flynn said. "So is there, you know, this, I'm not a lawyer, but I think that legally there should be some conversations at the Department of Justice and probably at the White House is whether or not that these conspiracy charges, these traitorous charges that that have been stated by, certainly by Tulsi and by others, you know, even the president, but some of the information that he's been putting out over the last 48 hours, should there be some type of military trial for Obama?"
"Because this is something that there is no statute of limitations for this," he added. "This is the greatest crime committed in the history of the United States of America."
"Unimaginable to the majority of Americans that a coup would be attempted by one president against another president of the United States of America."
