WASHINGTON, DC - Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered an unnamed federal prosecutor to present evidence to a grand jury concerning allegations that the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was deliberately fabricated for political purposes. This move follows a criminal referral from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who claims newly declassified documents reveal a conspiracy at the highest levels of the Obama administration to derail Donald Trump’s candidacy and presidency.

While much of the reporting on the so-called “Russia collusion hoax” has focused on the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation and the unverified Steele dossier, this latest development adds a new dimension: alleged political orchestration by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign to distract from her own legal vulnerabilities surrounding her private email server.

Critics allege this strategy was intended, in part, to divert attention from the fallout over Clinton’s use of a private email server while serving as Secretary of State—a controversy that included allegations of mishandling classified information, deleting subpoenaed emails, and physically destroying mobile devices.

The most infamous examples of potential evidence destruction included reports of staffers smashing old cellphones with hammers and using “BleachBit” software to wipe email servers clean after a congressional subpoena had been issued.

The handling of the two matters—the Clinton email investigation and the Trump-Russia allegations—has drawn intense scrutiny. Critics point to a perceived double standard:
