Why even start this thread? There are already enough to cover this issue.

How bout you/we just let any new evidence come out and then wait for the Durham report?

[Matnum PI]

I've been preoccupied. What is the crime?

Days after tweeting about 'Obamagate' and accusing his predecessor, Barack Obama, of committing crimes, US president Donald Trump was asked to specify what those exactly were. He replied: 'Obamagate, it's been going on for a long time, it's being going on from even before I got elected and it's a disgrace that it's gone on.' He continued: 'some terrible things happened and it should never be allowed to happen in our country again.' When he is again asked what the crime is, Trump says: 'You know what the crime is.'

Got it... Obama acted illegally when the Justice Department began probing incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn in late 2016.

"Obamagate" - just the latest phase in the never ending disease known as Obama Derangement Syndrome.

Typical tRUMPism.

Kinda like we waited for this IG report and that congressional investigative report...the Mueller Report...etc...etc...etc...

You won't like this one either, so why bother? More pointless republican never-ending investigations. Remember how The Chump didn't even WANT a Ukrainian investigation into HunterGate? ...just the announcement of one?? That's so he can drone on about "lot's of people are saying" and "i heard a lot of people talking about that"...you know, the Reality TV shill ACTING like a president...

Stupid is as Stupid does...

That is a great line!

Apparently no r knows what it is either. 3+ years of IMPOTUS and he is trying to find someone to blame for everything gone wrong on his watch.

Such bold r leadership = 'I don't take responsibility at all'

He doesn't like the way things are going in the Deep State thread.

This is the TDS whiners echo chamber, therapy circle.

Blame Obama!

Aha! This is what the right wing delusionals mean by "Obamagate":

Sharp-witted & humorous articles, regardless of political beliefs, are always worth checking out (IMO). I wonder if the author writes for the Babylon Bee?

Good post, Red.

Using the President's own approach:

I could not find a transcript, but this site does a good job of laying out the argument...

If I were a Senator or Congressman, the first person I would call to testify about the biggest political crime and scandal in the history of the USA, by FAR, is former President Obama. He knew EVERYTHING. Do it @LindseyGrahamSC, just do it. No more Mr. Nice Guy. No more talk!

I am still waiting for the specific scope with Obamagate...

Or as Josh Marshal puts it (from Twitter a few minutes ago):

Let's remember what the 'unmasking' scandal is about. The Obama admin imposed retaliatory sanctions against Russia for interfering in the US presidential elections. They had phone surveillance of the Russian Ambassador talking with an unnamed US citizen about how to deal ...

2/ with the US sanctions. When US citizens are picked up in surveillance of lawful foreign intelligence surveillance their names are "masked". Top NSC officials wanted to know who that US citizen was. It was Mike Flynn.

"Too bad for Don the Con that in New America presidents have full legal immunity and they, and everyone in their admin or even associated with it, can ignore congressional subpoenas. SAD!"
