Matt Margolis "With the Senate looking to be on the verge of starting an impeachment trial for President Trump over bogus allegations that he incited the assault on the Capitol on January 6, Democrats have established the precedent that even after a president is out of office, he must be held accountable for alleged crimes committed during his presidency.
“ 'If it is a good idea to impeach and try former presidents, what about former Democratic presidents when Republicans get the majority in 2022?” asked Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) as an ominous warning to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). “Think about it and let’s do what is best for the country.”
"Cornyn’s message was clear. The Democrats, in proceeding with this impeachment, will have opened Pandora’s Box. While it’s hardly a sure thing that Republicans would have the courage to impeach former Democrat presidents once they are back in the majority (let alone a current one) the possibility now exists.
"Well, that’s the question I’m about to answer. The most obvious former Democrat president who could be and should be impeached despite already having left office is Barack Obama.
While Democrats are most likely motivated by their desire to prevent President Trump from running for president again, there are other benefits given to former presidents that would be taken away upon conviction. Given his many impeachable acts while in office, the post-presidency impeachment of Barack Obama would hopefully set an example for future presidents.
"I’ve compiled ten things Barack Obama could be impeached for once Republicans retake the majority in the House.: . . .
10. Illegally firing an inspector general to protect a sex predator...
9. His war on cops...
8. Illegal treaties...
7. The Sestak bribery scandal...
6. Rampant obstruction of justice...
5. Spying on the media...
4. The illegal war in Libya...
3. The Benghazi attack cover-up...
2. The IRS targeting scandal...
1. Obamagate...
Further, evidence that Russia actually preferred Clinton over Trump was allegedly suppressed by Obama CIA Director John Brennan.

Allow me to add to the list these items that the vindictive man-child Barack Obama inflicted on us:
"Obama’s IRS also attempted to silence political enemies. Lois Lerner, an IRS official who served under Obama, threatened Tea Party nonprofits that had applied for tax-exempt status throughout the 2010 midterms and the 2012 presidential election." . . .
2013: Obama Wants to Make the Shutdown Hurt Ordinary Americans . . . "The managing director of the farm, Anna Eberly, said, “In all the years I have worked with the National Park Service … I have never worked with a more arrogant, arbitrary and vindictive group representing the NPS,” Eberly said." . . . "Mr. Obama’s behavior is not normal behavior but it is the behavior one would expect in a Banana Republic." . . .
President Obama wants the government shutdown to hurt, and hurt bad. He closed a World War II memorial and tried to block veterans from remembering their service to their country. Is Obama using the federal budget to spite veterans and the elderly? Hear what Trifecta thinks.
