RussiaGate is now a complete dead letter but ObamaGate is taking its place. Just how far did the then-president go to cripple his successor?
Its now clear the Obama-Comey FBI and Justice Department never had anything more substantial than the laughable fiction of the Steele dossier to justify the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign. Yet incessant leaks from that supposedly confidential probe wound up consuming the Trump administrations first months in office followed by the Bob Mueller-led special counsel investigation that proved nearly the total witch hunt that President Trump dubbed it.
Information released as the Justice Department dropped its charges against Gen. Mike Flynn shows that President Barack Obama, in his final days in office, played a key role in fanning the flames of phony scandal. Fully briefed on the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, he knew the FBI had come up with nothing despite months of work starting in July 2016.
Yet on Jan. 5, 2017, Obama told top officials whod be staying on in the new administration to keep the crucial facts from Team Trump.
It happened at an Oval Office meeting with Vice President Joe Biden, intel chiefs John Brennan and Jim Clapper and national security adviser Susan Rice, as well as FBI Director Jim Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates.
From a national-security perspective, Rices memo afterward put it, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.

Color me shocked.
Plus I’d wager most of GOP is dirty and don’t want the scab pulled off.
You can probably add Chinagate to your list.
Obama is a slimy political operative of the Saul Alinsky school. The greatest canard foisted upon the American electorate was that Obama swam in the toxic waters of the Illinois Democratic fever swamp, but remained untainted. It was and is a complete and total lie.
Exactly right. It was all there for everybody to see in 2008, but the Dem Pravda press covered it up. He was the most liberal Senator by a country mile for the short time he warmed the seat.
Obama learned his political skills from Alinsky, Chicago democrats and East African thug dictators.
When he said that he would fundamentally transform the country he meant it and his media never questioned him on it.
Neither did Republicans.
I remember that too.... she should be interviewed.
If you questioned him on anything you were called a racist
Headline: Looks as if Obama order the Russia Gate scandal

Seriously! Was that ever in question???
So...
It wouldve been fine and dandy to remove a duly elected President over this supposed Russia nonsense - and the whole of Washington DC wouldve been just fine with that..
But somehow, the notion of prosecuting a former President for essentially creating a time bomb for our country - to go off after the next guy succeeds him - is impossible?!?
Yes, we need to do what never has been done before and PROSECUTE that imposter - if only to deter any future Presidents from doing the same.
The damage Omamba did to this country will be realized many years from now.
Every act claimed to have happened in the Russian collusion delusion happened when Obama was president. All of it happened on his watch, he did nothing to stop it and it now looks like he did everything to induce and substantiate the false claims and complete lies.
It happened on Obama’s watch and is therefore his responsibility. If he is criminally involved he needs to be prosecuted and his correct legacy exposed for historical annotation.
This is an investigation that needs to be kicked into overdrive with no diversions or delays allowed, during Trumps second term.
Wow- Captain Obvious must be working overtime there!
So will they apologize for going after Trump for 3 years???
