GOP stops short of backing Gabbard, Trump on arresting Obama officials

(The Hill) Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s document releases about the Obama administration’s review of the 2016 election are leading President Trump to call for prosecution of former officials, including his predecessor.

But many Republicans in Congress aren’t ready to go quite that far.

While Trump’s GOP supporters in Congress have united in expressing outrage, they have varying ideas of what accountability looks like.

And Democrats say the Trump administration is completely misrepresenting the facts while abusing intelligence and the justice system. They also see it as a bid to distract from growing pressure on the White House to release more information about Jeffrey Epstein.

I hope the hill mentioned that, but I assume they didn’t.
