Matt Walsh: “Either top Obama officials are arrested or Tulsi Gabbard should be fired”

MATT WALSH (HOST): Right now President Trump is, you know, making a bunch of posts on Truth Social depicting Obama officials in orange jumpsuits. Tulsa Gabbard is doing hits on Fox News and and posting these threads on Twitter. They’re sounding notes of indignation and outrage.

All that is fine, but none of that matters if they fail to actually go and make arrests. Barack Obama himself should be in handcuffs. You cannot allege a treasonous conspiracy and then do nothing about it.

Now, if I seem a bit cynical here, the typical pattern by Republicans since forever is to make these kinds of claims, but to make them only on social media and Fox News and to never actually bring it to a court of law so the parties responsible can be held accountable for their crimes.

And I’m tired of it. I’m sick to death of it. Go arrest these people and bring them to justice. Funny memes and outraged soundbites on Fox News are not going to cut it anymore. Go make an arrest. Put somebody in prison.

And if you won’t do that, then what does any of this matter? Why should we care about any of this if you won’t follow it up by putting people in prison?

In fact, I’ll say this. The consequences of these allegations from Tulsi must be one of two things — either top Obama officials are arrested or Tulsi Gabbard should be fired.

Now, I like Tulsi. I hope she’s not fired. But the only valid reason to not make any arrests is if the claims that she made are false. And if the DNI is falsely alleging treasonous conspiracies publicly, then clearly she should be run out of town.

But if what she’s saying is true, and I believe that it is as I just outlined for 15 minutes, then failure to make arrests would make top Trump officials complicit in the conspiracy after the fact. There is no legitimate reason to make no arrests if the claims are true. So something must happen here. Someone has to be punished or else none of this means anything at all. It’s just fodder for cable news and nothing else.
