Former FBI Agent: Bondi Has ‘Slam Dunk’ Conspiracy Case Against Obama Feds

A retired FBI agent said Attorney General Pam Bondi has sufficient grounds to pursue a conspiracy case against former federal agents and prosecutors over their handling of politically sensitive investigations involving President Donald Trump.

Jonathan Gilliam, a former FBI agent and Navy SEAL, said in an interview on the Just the News, No Noise television program that investigators and prosecutors pursued Trump for political reasons while declining to take similar actions against prominent Democrats, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, despite what he described as significant evidence.

Gilliam said documents recently provided to Congress by Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel show that FBI agents were repeatedly prevented from advancing corruption investigations involving Clinton and her family foundation. He also said agents were overruled when they advised prosecutors that there was insufficient probable cause to conduct a search of Trump’s Florida residence, the outlet reported.

“It’s the same cast of characters every time.” Gilliam said. “We had a tremendous amount of evidence that they were trying to create evidence and falsify evidence to go after Trump. Now we see that they’re trying to stop investigations and get rid of real evidence for the purpose of protecting the Clintons.

“I think this really does lead to bigger charges such as conspiracy to overthrow an election, I would say, potentially treason, if you could put that in there, but definitely sedition,” he added.

Gilliam proposed that the Justice Department treat key players accused of weaponizing law enforcement and intelligence powers similarly to how they would handle a drug cartel or a mafia family.

“This is a group of people that continue to come up in one case of building cases against Trump, falsifying information. But now it shows that the same people were conspiring to do a second overall crime, or second conspiracy to protect the political candidate that they agree with,” he said.

“I mean, honestly, if this was a mafia case, and we had this clear-cut of an example of a group of people committing two or more crimes for the furtherance of their political group or their enterprise. This would be a slam dunk case for any US Attorney. So I think this is something that they should look at,” Gilliam continued.

“This is years of individuals working their way up and getting together or being pulled up and put together so that they could conspire to stop one individual from becoming president and push the other person forward,” he told the program.

Gilliam’s remarks came the same week that Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon told the program she believes there is sufficient evidence to pursue a conspiracy case alleging that federal agents and state prosecutors coordinated efforts to infringe on the civil liberties of Trump and his supporters.

Gilliam stated that such a case would be extensive and complex, and it would be best to have a central coordinator. “We need real investigators under a justice czar to look at these people and criminally investigate and charge them,” he said.

A former high-level Drug Enforcement Administration official who served during then-President Barack Obama’s administration, believed he was helping a Mexican cartel move cocaine in the United States and offered to launder millions of dollars for the organization, federal prosecutors said earlier this month.

Paul Campo, who worked his way up to become the DEA’s deputy chief of the Office for Financial Operations, and his alleged accomplice, Robert Sensi, were arrested after being caught in an undercover sting involving a confidential source posing as a member of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

Campo served with the DEA for roughly 25 years before retiring in 2016. According to prosecutors, Campo and Sensi began interacting with the undercover operative in late 2024 as part of a larger investigation targeting cartel activity.
