Investigative journalist John Solomon declared that former President Barack Obama can now be compelled to testify before a grand jury — and he CANNOT invoke the Fifth Amendment due to his presidential immunity.
But here’s the kicker: if Obama lies as a private citizen about what he did during his presidency, that immunity evaporates, potentially exposing him to criminal prosecution.
Once called before a grand jury, Obama must testify under oath. If he misrepresents or lies about any matter related to his official conduct—he loses that immunity from the date of the lie onward. That single moment as a private citizen could nullify the entire blanket he once relied upon.
On January 5, 2017, Obama presided over a White House meeting in which the FBI had just cleared Mike Flynn.
According to Solomon, top officials then devised a scheme: trick Flynn into an interview, catch him lying, and prosecute him for the falsehood.
Solomon warns that Obama may now face a similar trap—one he helped construct for Flynn.
John Solomon:
I know President Trump has every right to be frustrated with him. I think President Trump’s analysis last week was right. I think my immunity rule might protect him on the original charges.That’s what most legal experts tell me — that that ruling is so sweeping, it will protect Obama for what he did in office. However, Barack Obama can now be summoned before a grand jury.
He cannot take the Fifth Amendment because he has immunity from prosecution. 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.
And that is a trap that Obama is potentially facing. I want to say — the irony of that is significant, because on January 5, 2017, he presided over a meeting in the White House where the FBI had just cleared Mike Flynn of any wrongdoing.
And they schemed in that meeting how they might be able to jam up Mike Flynn.
They came up with the idea: “We’ll lure him into an interview, catch him in a lie, and then prosecute him that way.” Barack Obama is now about to face a potentially similar situation — one he unfairly created for Mike Flynn.
