The Trump administration’s launch of a grand jury probe into Obama-era officials marks an escalation in its use of the justice system to go after political adversaries, amid mounting pressure to release files related to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
It’s the first sign the Justice Department is acting on criminal referrals made by Trump intelligence officials, after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused officials of a “treasonous conspiracy” related to Russian interference in the 2016 election.

FTA: "The Trump administration’s launch of a grand jury probe into Obama-era officials marks an escalation in its use of the justice system to go after political adversaries,"
How Despicable is this opening statement? It's not like those officials aren't criminal scum! D'ya think The Hill has ever written a fair, non-partisan, story? Methinks not!

They are not being brought to justice because they are rivals. They are getting their due because of law breaking for political gain. That should be made clear right from the start.

Are they going after ‘adversaries,’ or just going after people who did bad things?

You can always count on The Hill for a snarky leftist slant to things.

"Political adversaries" is a nice name for snakes, traitors and evil conspirators. If Hillary and Obama do not get to wear orange jumpsuits, at least their reputations will be destroyed and their fragile egos will be broken.

I hope they’re not using a Washington DC grand jury. If they are, they’ll never get a conviction.

Important to Remember
Dem were not just running a criminal conspiracy.
Dem were not just running a criminal conspiracy to
protect Clinton from legal consequences of egregious security violations from her illegal email server.
Dem were not just running a criminal conspiracy to keep power.
Dem were running the criminal conspiracy to empower the globalists
(including themselves) to continue to bleed America white...
Trillions of dollars were (are) on the line.
Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo Money...

Oh, it's more than just The Hill with their crooked assessment.
Look at what this evil toad posted on X. FTA: “Trump – ‘the hunted’ – has indeed become the hunter – facts and law, be damned. These folks are using the court of law to shape the court of public opinion. They’re also making a mockery of grand jury secrecy rules, which are in part designed to protect uncharged individuals,” Anthony Coley, who served as a spokesperson for the Obama Justice Department, wrote on the social platform X."
Yeah that worm actually said "facts and law be damned". Everyone here knows darn well hussein and bidet used the government against their enemies, meaning President Trump and anyone akin to everyone here. If there is any justice in the world, one day these traitorous liars will be held to account. So far nothing like that has happened. I hope and pray it'll change one day.

Amen, posters. They want to convince US this is Trump going after his rivals. That's what his "rivals" did to him. As per usual, the subversives are colluding to deceive the American people. We're tired of it, and we're not going to take it anymore.
Those escapes from Texas assured us that if they get back in power, Trump will be destroyed. Well, clowns, how about we're not going to let you this time. What this all means is the Trump team needs to work quickly to right the country and imprison these people before they steal another election. They care nothing for America and her people; they only care about their power and raping and pillaging.

The Hill is at least talking about this investigation, which ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. are not.
They are test driving a narrative for the Deep State propaganda wing.

It isn't "Russiagate." The Russkies had nothing to do with it.
It's the 0bama-Hillary Scandal. Let's not use THEIR language. Let's call it what it is - - the 0bama-Hillary Scandal.

"The Hill" gets the story exactly backwards, which is no surprise. In fact, the hypocritical ballyhoo about the Epstein files is a smokescreen to distract the gullible from the real story, which is the criminal conspiracy by Obama et al. to destroy the Trump presidency.

No... It's a commitment to see criminals, punished. Considering how much USAID money the democrats syphoned off, all of their funds and those of their donors should be confiscated.

While those charged are clearly crooked enough to have done it, are they really stupid enough to have left any evidence not destroyed after almost a decade? Then again, maybe arrogant enough to assume they wouldn't be prosecuted...
