In March 2018, Kallstrom declared on Fox News that both President Obama and former CIA Director John Brennan had committed felonies in trying to keep Hillary Clinton from being indicted. "It goes right to the top, and it involves that whole strategy. They were going to win [the 2016 election], nobody would ever know this stuff, and they just unleashed the intelligence community," Kallstrom continued. Kallstrom was not asked if this was to help Clinton, why the information on the Russian investigation was not leaked to the press prior to the election.
