Bondi said she has directed U.S. attorneys and federal agents to treat alleged abuses of law enforcement and intelligence authority as part of a continuing conspiracy, an approach echoed by an FBI memo from Kash Patel that could extend reach beyond normal statutes of limitation. Reporting indicates a significant portion of the probe is centered in Florida, where Chief Judge Cecilia Altonaga authorized a grand jury in Fort Pierce to convene Jan. 12, 2026. Media reports say subpoenas have gone to figures such as former CIA director John Brennan and FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page; Brennan&#8217;s lawyers sought judicial steps to limit how any related cases are assigned, including efforts to prevent assignment to Judge Aileen Cannon. Whether the grand jury will <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >produce charges remains unclear<\/a>, but Bondi&#8217;s statements and the Florida proceedings signal the investigation may enter a decisive phase next year.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Bondi signals Obama-Biden era conspiracy case could drop in 2026<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2452765\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Attorney General <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pam-bondi\/\">Pam Bondi<\/a> signaled this week that a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/department-of-justice\/\">Justice Department<\/a> investigation into what she described as a decadelong conspiracy spanning the Obama and Biden administrations could come to a head in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>In written responses to <em>Just the News<\/em> released Sunday, Bondi said she has directed prosecutors to investigate what she characterized as a sustained campaign of political lawfare that protected Democrats from criminal scrutiny while <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ibtimes.co.uk\/attorney-general-pam-bondi-claims-obama-biden-led-10-year-election-conspiracy-1767035\">targeting<\/a> Republicans, including President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> and his supporters.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4379004\/appeals-court-revives-free-speech-case-school-dei-training\/\">Appeals court revives free speech case over school DEI training<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4379219\/jack-smith-withheld-names-gop-lawmakers-greenlit-phone-records-access\/\">Jack Smith withheld names from judges who greenlit GOP lawmakers&#8217; phone records access<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4375441\/judge-who-struck-one-big-beautiful-bill-act-abortion-defunding-overruled-appeals-court\/\">Judge who struck One Big Beautiful Bill Act abortion defunding overruled by appeals court again<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Attorney General Pam Bondi speaks about the recent arrest in the Jan. 6, 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fbi-broke-jan-6-pipe-bombs-case-with-software-decoding-cell-data\/\" title=\"FBI broke .... 6 pipe bombs case with software decoding cell data\">pipe bombs case<\/a> during a news conference at the Department of Justice on Thursday, Dec. 4, 2025, in Washington.
