The Trap is Set: How Conservatives Plan to Force Obama to Testify on Russiagate Without Pleading the Fifth

In a bombshell revelation that has ignited conservative circles, investigative journalist John Solomon has outlined a strategic legal maneuver to compel former President Barack Obama to testify before a grand jury on alleged misconduct during his administration—without the option to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights. Speaking on Real America’s Voice, Solomon explained that the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity could be weaponized to summon Obama, forcing him to reveal details about scandals like the Russia collusion hoax and the targeting of General Michael Flynn. “Obama can now be summoned before a grand jury. He cannot take the Fifth Amendment because he has immunity from prosecution,” Solomon stated. “He’ll have to tell the truth. If he lies as a private citizen about what he did as president, he’ll no longer have that immunity.”

This plan, rooted in ongoing investigations led by Trump appointees, aims to expose what conservatives view as deep-state corruption while turning Obama’s own legal protections against him. The foundation of this strategy lies in the Supreme Court’s 2024 decision in Trump v. United States, which affirmed absolute immunity for presidents’ core constitutional acts and presumptive immunity for official actions. Conservatives argue this shields Obama from prosecution for decisions made in office, such as overseeing the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump’s 2016 campaign—a probe many on the right label “Spygate.” With no threat of criminal charges for those acts, Obama lacks a valid basis to plead the Fifth, which protects against self-incrimination. As Solomon elaborated, immunity eliminates the “reasonable fear of prosecution” required to invoke the amendment, compelling testimony.

Legal experts in conservative media echo this: without risk, silence isn’t an option. This approach is gaining traction amid President Trump’s second-term push to investigate his predecessors. Kash Patel, Trump’s pick for FBI director, has reportedly launched a “grand criminal conspiracy” probe targeting Obama, James Comey, John Brennan, and others involved in Russiagate. Patel, who previously invoked the Fifth in unrelated inquiries, now leads efforts to consolidate cases into one massive indictment. Solomon confirmed the FBI has already opened this “grand conspiracy” investigation, potentially hauling in Obama as a witness rather than a defendant.

The goal? Use Obama’s testimony to build cases against subordinates, exposing the alleged plot to undermine Trump’s presidency. Conservatives see poetic justice here. Obama presided over a January 5, 2017, Oval Office meeting where Flynn was cleared of wrongdoing, yet participants—including Joe Biden—discussed ways to “jam up” Flynn via a perjury trap. Flynn was later interviewed without counsel, leading to charges conservatives decry as fabricated. Now, the tables turn: Obama could face a similar dilemma. Summoned to a grand jury probing Russiagate, he’d testify under oath about official acts, immune from direct charges but vulnerable to perjury if he misleads. “That’s when they came up with the idea to lure him into an interview, catch him in a lie, and then prosecute him,” Solomon noted, drawing the parallel. Lying as a private citizen strips immunity, opening doors to new prosecutions. The plan’s architects, including Patel and Trump allies, draw from precedents where witnesses lose Fifth Amendment protections post-immunity or plea.

In grand jury settings, compelled testimony is routine when no incrimination risk exists. Conservatives argue Obama’s public denials of involvement in spying on Trump make his testimony crucial—and risky. If discrepancies arise between his statements and evidence from declassified documents or whistleblowers, perjury charges could follow. X users like @Chinoy200096633 hailed it as a “boomerang,” predicting Obama’s words could dismantle the deep state. Implementation hinges on DOJ actions under Trump. With Patel at the helm, a special counsel or grand jury could subpoena Obama, focusing on non-immune aspects like post-presidency conduct while probing official decisions. Legal battles over the subpoena’s scope are inevitable, but conservatives cite Bill Clinton’s 1998 grand jury testimony as precedent.

Unlike Clinton, Obama can’t hide behind the Fifth, per Solomon’s analysis. Critics within conservative ranks warn of pitfalls: overreach could backfire, portraying Trump as vindictive. Yet, enthusiasm runs high. “That also means Obama cannot plead the 5th and under oath he has to answer every single question,” posted @Silstorm Others, like @realroblove , see it unraveling conspirators: “You can’t plead the 5th if you have immunity.”

This tactic extends beyond Obama. It could apply to Biden or Hillary Clinton in probes into Ukraine dealings or the Steele dossier. Solomon’s insights, drawn from years covering these scandals, position this as a reckoning. His website, Just the News, has chronicled Russiagate’s fallout, including the Durham report’s findings of FBI bias. Ultimately, the plan embodies Trump’s “drain the swamp” ethos, using legal precedents to hold elites accountable. If executed, Obama’s testimony could rewrite history, validating conservative claims of weaponized government. As Solomon warns, the trap is set—and Obama walks a tightrope where truth is mandatory, but deception fatal.
