奥巴马对哥伦比亚广播公司表示，司法部长应当是“人民的律师，而非总统的私人顾问”

佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯在前行总统巴拉克·奥巴马批评特朗普政府将司法部政治化后，用一句犀利的话做出了回应。
“白宫不应能够指示司法部长去起诉总统想要起诉的任何人，”奥巴马在接受哥伦比亚广播公司采访时说道。
“国家的强大权力，你不能让掌控政府的人利用这种权力去打击政治对手，或是奖赏自己的盟友，”他补充道。
作为回应，德桑蒂斯在X平台上写道：“俄罗斯勾结骗局有话要说。”

在接受哥伦比亚广播公司的斯蒂芬·科尔伯特采访时，奥巴马表示，在任总统期间，“有几项惯例我始终遵守，尽管它们并非法律规定”。
“我们需要做一些工作来回归这项基本惯例，现在我们可能需要将其写入法律，”他说。“其核心思想是，司法部长是人民的律师，而非总统的私人顾问。”
奥巴马称，司法部的政治化对美国构成了生存威胁。
“我们可以挺过很多难关，糟糕的政策、混乱的选举，还有很多其他事情我们都能克服，但我们无法克服刑事司法系统的政治化。”
他表示，希望看到朝着“恢复司法部在具体案件和起诉决策上的独立性”方向迈出的步伐。
在奥巴马执政期间，隶属于司法部的联邦调查局于2016年启动了一项反情报调查，以审查当时的总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普的相关人员是否与俄罗斯官员存在关联，以及是否存在任何协调行为。

该调查在特朗普第一任期内继续进行，由特别检察官罗伯特·米勒牵头。调查结论显示，特朗普竞选团队官员与俄罗斯政府相关人员之间“存在多重关联”。不过，调查同时也发现，“此次调查并未证实竞选团队在选举干预活动中与俄罗斯政府进行过协调或共谋”。
2025年7月，国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德指控奥巴马和高级情报官员不恰当地将有关俄罗斯干预2016年大选的情报政治化。
国家情报总监办公室称，奥巴马主导了2017年1月的情报社区评估报告，该报告“为 essentially a years-long coup against the duly elected President of the United States, subverting the will of the American people and attempting to delegitimize Donald Trump’s presidency.”

加巴德表示：“有无可辩驳的证据详细说明了奥巴马总统及其国家安全团队是如何主导撰写一份他们明知是虚假的情报社区评估报告的，他们将捏造的说法——俄罗斯干预2016年大选以帮助特朗普总统获胜——当作真相来宣传。”
批评人士对加巴德的指控提出了质疑。

DeSantis hits Obama with brutal one-line response to DOJ politicization accusation: ‘Would like a word’

Obama told CBS the attorney general should be ‘the people’s lawyer and not the president’s consigliere’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis responded with a sharp one-liner after former President Barack Obama criticized the Trump administration for politicizing the Department of Justice.
“The White House shouldn’t be able to direct the attorney general to go around prosecuting whoever the president wants prosecuted,” Obama said during an interview with CBS.
“The awesome power of the state, you can’t have a situation where whoever is in charge of the government starts using that to go after their political enemies or reward their friends,” he continued.
In response, DeSantis wrote on X, “The Russia collusion hoax would like a word.”

During an interview with CBS’ Stephen Colbert, Obama said that as president, “There were a couple [norms] that I followed, even though they weren’t law.”
“And we’re going to have to do some work to return to this basic norm, and we probably now have to codify it,” he said. “The idea is that the attorney general is the people’s lawyer and not the president’s consigliere.”
Obama said the politicization of the DOJ poses an existential threat to the United States.
“We can survive a lot, bad policy, funky elections, there’s a bunch of stuff that we can overcome, we can’t overcome the politicization of the criminal justice system.”
He said that he would like to see movement towards “restoring some sense of the Justice Department being independent in making judgments about specific cases and prosecutions.”
Under Obama, the FBI, which is a part of the DOJ, opened a counterintelligence investigation in 2016 to examine whether individuals associated with then-candidate Donald Trump had links to Russian officials and whether there was any coordination.

The investigation continued during Trump’s first term and was led by special counsel Robert Mueller. It concluded there were “multiple links” between Trump campaign officials and individuals tied to the Russian government. However, it also found that “the investigation did not establish that the Campaign coordinated or conspired with the Russian government in its election-interference activities.”
In July 2025, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard alleged that Obama and senior intelligence officials improperly politicized intelligence about Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence alleged that Obama directed the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, which “served as the basis for what was essentially a years-long coup against the duly elected President of the United States, subverting the will of the American people and attempting to delegitimize Donald Trump’s presidency.”

Gabbard said, “There is irrefutable evidence detailing how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an Intelligence Community Assessment that they knew was false, promoting the contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, as though it were true.”
Critics have disputed Gabbard’s allegations.
