Obama Referred To DOJ For TREASON, Criminal Investigation, CIVIL WAR!! w/ Salena Zito
Featuring: Salena Zito
Episode Recap
Tim Pool hosted Timcast IRL on July 24, 2025, with co-host Ian Crossland and guest Salena Zito, a Washington Examiner reporter and Washington Post contributor. The episode opened with the major news that Tulsi Gabbard had referred former President Barack Obama to the Department of Justice for criminal investigation, alleging treason and a years-long coup against the United States related to the Russia collusion hoax. Tim discussed documents showing that Obama allegedly ordered intelligence officials to release information they knew to be bogus to damage Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Simultaneously, corporate media was running headlines about Donald Trump's name appearing in the recently released Epstein files, with photos from 1993 surfacing. Tim framed this as an 'administrative civil war' with both major political parties accusing each other of serious crimes - Democrats accusing Trump of being involved in sex trafficking and Republicans accusing Obama of treason. The panel also discussed Candace Owens being sued for defamation after calling someone transgender, questioning the legal basis for such a lawsuit. Salena Zito joined to discuss how these political battles are perceived in swing states and rural America, explaining her methodology of traveling back roads rather than highways to understand real voter sentiment. The episode included sponsors Lear Capital discussing silver as an investment opportunity and Casper Coffee, with co-host Phil Labonte from All That Remains contributing throughout the show.

Notable Quotes
“Tulsi Gabbard has announced she has referred Obama to the DOJ for criminal investigation pertaining to treason. They're not actually saying publicly that there are formal charges, but Tulsi Gabbard has said this was a treasonous conspiracy and a years-long coup.”
— Tim Pool · opening segment breaking news
“When you have two groups at the apex of these power structures, basically accusing each other of high crimes, I don't know what you'd call it. Eric Weinstein called it an administrative civil war, fine. But does this end with just political fallout?”

“I don't fly, I don't do highways, I don't do interstates, turnpikes. I always take the back road because that's how I find out what's really going on in the country, in particular in the places that decide election cycles.”
— Salena Zito · guest interview discussing coverage methodology
“What is defamatory about calling someone transgender? There's something wrong with that? Is someone going to be damaged by being believed to be transgender? That's a really interesting argument you're making there, McCrone's, in these United States.”

“They're talking about building these massive data centers all over the planet. In order to operate all of this, silver is a key component. Not to mention, they wanna replace all cars with self-driving cars.”
