A majority of voters believe former President Barack Obama‘s national security team schemed and lied in pushing the false “Russiagate” scandal to undermine the legitimate election of President Donald Trump, and now want them prosecuted for it.
In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets, 54% of likely voters said it is likely that Team Obama “committed serious crimes in manipulating intelligence.” Only 41% of respondents disagreed.
And even more respondents, 69%, demanded that those involved be “held accountable.”

The new poll was conducted after Trump’s national intelligence director, Tulsi Gabbard, reported that Obama and his staff allegedly played a huge role in ginning up the scandal that Russia influenced and manipulated the 2016 election of Trump over the media’s choice, Hillary Clinton.
That new report has led to speculation that Obama and his national security team could be criminally prosecuted.
It turns out that America is on board with that move. Just 21% of respondents disagreed with punishing those involved.

“Eighty-six percent of Republicans, 59% of Democrats, and 62% of unaffiliated voters at least somewhat agree with the Gabbard quote about how important it is ‘that people who perpetrate such crimes are held accountable,’” the Rasmussen analysis said.
The survey is the latest to show that the scandal won’t just go away. It dogged Trump’s first term, and MAGA voters remain mad about that and want revenge.
