The heat is rising for former President Barack Obama — and fast.

On Friday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard publicly released damning evidence alleging that Obama orchestrated a “treasonous conspiracy” in 2016. Gabbard’s accusation? That the former president and his top officials fabricated intelligence to launch the now-debunked Trump-Russia collusion narrative — a political hit job masquerading as national security.

But the fallout didn’t end there.

Just days later, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, unveiled a long-hidden appendix to the 2018 Horowitz Report — often referred to as the “Clinton Annex.” The newly declassified material reveals disturbing possibilities: that James Comey’s FBI may have deliberately avoided reviewing critical evidence during its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s illegal use of a private email server — because the evidence included emails from Obama himself.

According to the appendix, the FBI received eight thumb drives from a confidential source dubbed “T1,” which contained sensitive data extracted from multiple government-related sources. One stunning revelation stood out:

“Examples of U.S. victim information that the analysts observed during this review included former President Barack Obama’s emails,” the annex states.

Despite this, the Bureau essentially shelved the material. The report continues:

“Witnesses told us that the FBI has never comprehensively reviewed thumb drives 1 through 5.”

A curious omission — especially considering the high-level meetings that followed.

In fact, the FBI held multiple internal meetings regarding the thumb drives, including two particularly notable ones on September 20 and October 20, 2016. Among those in attendance: FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and White House Counsel W. Neil Eggleston.

Why would Obama’s White House Counsel be involved in meetings about thumb drives containing his own emails? And perhaps more critically: why did the FBI refuse to conduct a full review?

Sen. Grassley didn’t mince words, calling it an “extreme lack of effort and due diligence.” He further lambasted the contrast between the Bureau’s willful negligence in the Clinton case and its aggressive pursuit of President Trump based on what we now know was bogus intelligence.

“Comey FBI’s negligent approach and perhaps intentional lack of effort in the Clinton investigation” starkly contrasts with its “full-throated investigation of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax,” Grassley said.

Conservative analysts and social media commentators echoed that outrage. Sean Davis, co-founder of The Federalist, concluded the evidence proved the FBI “deliberately sandbagged the Clinton investigation and refused to take basic investigative steps that would’ve revealed how seriously Clinton compromised national security.”

Another user on X summarized the feeling shared by many:

“The annex showed that Comey and the Obama FBI intentionally ignored thumb drives during Hillary email investigation, because they had emails on them from OBAMA.”

Indeed, the timing and content of these revelations point to a broader pattern — one that extends far beyond bureaucratic incompetence.

With Gabbard’s confirmation that the Russia hoax was concocted inside the Obama administration and fresh evidence that critical FBI investigations were selectively abandoned, Americans are left with a chilling question: Did Obama’s emails compromise Clinton — and did the FBI bury the evidence to protect them both?
