Joe Biden and Barack Obama attend Ethel Kennedy’s memorial service
Some of Barack Obama’s former cronies are working behind the scenes to find a way to lock up Trump Administration officials and want foreign governments to play a role.
Independent journalist Natalie Winters exclusively reported on Saturday that former Obama advisers have hatched a proposal in the liberal law and policy journal Just Security to persuade foreign countries to “quietly gather evidence” and “wait to issue indictments until Trump is out of office.”
The countries in question include Colombia and Ecuador, while the prime targets include Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Admiral Frank Bradley, and General Francis Donovan.
The officials have honed in on the boat strikes in the Caribbean against drug cartels as the focus for prosecution.
More from Winters:
Their argument treats the strikes as murder and explores international warrants and extradition. Even officials avoiding overseas travel would count as a consequence:
“self-imposed travel restrictions to avoid arrest”
They favor U.S. prosecutions but see foreign courts as another route, subject to evidence and custody hurdles.
The authors of the article were Sarah Harrison, Benjamin Farley, and Tracey Begley.
Per Winters, here are their connections to Obama and Biden:
Harrison served in the Obama administration as counselor to the Homeland Security secretary from 2015 to 2017. She later worked as a Pentagon associate general counsel, advising on the law governing American military activities.
Farley spent 13 years in government, including as an adviser to the State Department’s Guantanamo closure envoy and director of its Office of Terrorist Detentions. A career official whose service crossed administrations, he returned to State in August 2021, during Biden’s presidency.
He now works at the National Immigration Law Center on wartime and emergency powers. Begley previously served as a senior adviser in the State Department’s Office of Global Criminal Justice.
The piece caught the attention of U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz. He stated that this meddling could be illegal and vowed the DOJ will “smoke it out.”
“Former Obama-Biden Admin officials are urging foreign adversaries to gather evidence so that a future Democrat White House can partner with them to detain and prosecute Trump Admin officials,” Reitz wrote. “This kind of seditious meddling may be illegal.”
“DOJ will smoke it out. More to come.”
