DOJ launching grand jury investigation into Russiagate conspiracy allegations

Well they'll have to prove they did something wrong...in acting on behalf of the president, wont they? There are no actual charges in your OP...did you notice that? They're flailing in rage and trying to distract from TACO's...taco'ing ;) but it doesnt provide the charges.

From your article :rolleyes::

"Gabbard has alleged that Obama and his national security officials laid the "groundwork" for a narrative that then-candidate Trump and his campaign colluded to help him win the 2016 election. An FBI investigation and two special counsel investigations loomed over much of Trump's first administration.​
It is unclear whom the grand jury is expected to target and what charges could be in play given the statutes of limitations for much of the activity from nearly a decade ago have lapsed." Fox News
Imagine someone who doesn’t know how a grand jury works wondering why there are no charges in the referral. 🙄

Note in the quote from your article that my questioning concurs with your article's own conclusions and questions ;)

Just remember. Our friends on the left said there was nothing to see here.
We shall see wont we?
If ever there was a post to save, it's this one. Yes, we will see.

We'll see that Gabbard's accusations were nothing but hot air. According to Gabbard:

“There is irrefutable evidence that details how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false.”
The “irrefutable evidence” turns out to be stray bits of unverified intelligence that the agencies could not substantiate and that did not alter or weaken their bottom-line assessment of Russia’s involvement.

Despite a complete lack of actionable evidence, Gabbard made a criminal referral to DOJ, seeking investigation and prosecution of the members of the “treasonous conspiracy,” including Clapper, Brennan, Comey, and Obama. And sure enough, Bondi—who, like Gabbard, is duty-bound to be apolitical—greenlighted the scurrilous investigation.
On Monday, Attorney General Pam Bondi signed an order directing a federal prosecutor to convene a grand jury to investigate whether prominent officials in Barack Obama's administration, including Obama himself, purposely manufactured an intelligence assessment in January 2017. The supposed purpose of this scheme: to promote a “false narrative” that Russia and its president Vladimir Putin engaged in an operation to interfere in the 2016 U.S. election with the intent of helping Trump win.

Problem: There's nothing whatsoever false about this narrative.

The Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), prepared by career professionals and our intelligence agencies, indeed concluded:
"Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 to undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency."

That conclusion has been repeatedly reaffirmed in multiple investigations—including those led by Mueller, the Senate Intelligence Committee, and Special Prosecutor John Durham.

The bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee unanimously found that the ICA was “coherent and well constructed” and reconfirmed that Russia “engaged in an aggressive, multi-faceted effort to influence” the 2016 election in Trump’s favor.

Remember Durham? He was a Trump U.S. Attorney whom Attorney General William Barr tasked with leading an investigation into the origins of the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane probe into alleged Trump–Russia campaign ties. He investigated exhaustively—over almost four years—whether anyone broke the law in connection with the 2016 intelligence assessments.

While Durham’s final report found certain procedural faults with intelligence actors and the Mueller operation, it confirmed that Russian spies were behind the hacking of Democratic campaign files and the release of campaign emails. It specifically failed to find a plot approved by Clinton to tie Trump to Putin.

So what are you thinking, VySky? That the Republicans on the Senate Intel Committee, Barr, and Durham were all in on the scam too?

And when this all turns out to be a big, fat, nothing burger, will you have learned anything?

No. Of course not.

When isn't it? :D

No one cares.
Why do you say "NO ONE"? Not everyone agrees with the angry extremists on the left. There's a reason the Democrat Party's approval ratings are in the toilet.
 
Fyi: going after political opponents like this is what dictators do.
