Trump's 'Obamagate' conspiracy theory just got blown to pieces

President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama prior to Obama's departure during the 2017 presidential inauguration at the US Capitol January 20, 2017 in Washington, DC.President Donald Trump and his Republican allies have in recent weeks latched onto a vague conspiracy theory, dubbed "Obamagate," that revolves around former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

The "Obamagate" conspiracy also accuses Obama and Biden of having advance knowledge of the FBI's plans to interview Flynn about his communications with Kislyak during the 2017 presidential transition period.

"When the FBI circulated [the report], they included Flynn's name from the beginning" because it was essential to understanding its significance, a former senior US official told The Post. "There were therefore no requests for the unmasking of that information." Rice sent herself an email documenting the meeting after it occurred — known as a contemporaneous memo — and Trump and his Republican allies have seized on the email as evidence that Obama ordered the FBI to "spy" on the Trump campaign.During the meeting, according to Rice's email, Obama emphasized "his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities 'by the book.

Good it was too complicated to follow anyway. Let’s get back to the economy.

Oh the good old “anonymous sources” trick. What could possibly go wrong?

All lies from the Liar-In-Chief and his associated lying sacks of shit. The Republican Party is the party of lies.

How is it ok for the highest office in a country to be allowed to spread misinformation and accusations? That is third world country sh!t trust me!

a washington post report? sounds legit 😂🖕

Trump supporters punching the air right now

He is still a Kenyan goat humper.. That will never change...

Washington Post = Fake news

Nobody with a brain took it seriously from the outset. And, since Trump's brain-dead followers aren't swayable, this article is a waste of time.

yeah, I always send a CYA email to myself stating that someone else said to do things by the book. super convincing argument, 'journalist'

You lost me at 'a Washington Post report'......😂

Seems like the conspiracy was contrived to distract the media, which it did. Same playbook as the 2016 elections.

Did anyone take this seriously? Apart from die hard trump supporters

LOL, no it didn't. Ya'll are desperate!
