By the way, the FBI was involved in using an investigation to influence the 2016 election....They announced an investigation into HRC a few weeks before election day...Weird if they were so against Trump that they never publicly disclosed these investigations.
Remember how the CONS had 30 some odd investigations against Hillary about BENGHAZI for exactly the same reason they are doing this. It adds to all the other shenanigans they pull to steal elections.

Donald Trump has publicly pleaded with senior Republicans to back his "Obamagate" theory to help him win the next election.
www.independent.co.uk/topic/obamagate
The president has been trying to popularise the phrase, sending out one word tweets saying "Obamagate" and accusing his predecessor of unspecified criminal offences. The accusations, which Mr Trump claims also implicate his likely Democratic opponent in November, Joe Biden, relate to investigations into the behaviour of former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

While Trump supporters and media allies like Fox News have enthusiastically piled in, senior Republicans like Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham have so far been more circumspect.
www.independent.co.uk/topic/mitch-mcconnell
On Saturday morning, while tweeting a series of attacks on his political opponents, the media and web companies, and praising his own handling of the coronavirus pandemic, Mr Trump sent a direct message to Mr McConnell, with Mr Graham's Twitter handle included.
He wrote: "Mitch, I love you, but this is 100% true. Time is running out. Get tough and move quickly, or it will be too late. The Dems are vicious, but got caught. They MUST pay a big price for what they have done to our Country. Don't let them get away with this! @lindseygrahamsc."
In a separate tweet, alluding to a supportive article from The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway, Mr Trump wrote: "This is true. I say it all the time. The Republicans must play by the same rules, or die! Wow Mollie, you are good."
On Thursday Mr Graham, chairman of the Senate's judiciary committee, rejected the president's suggestion that he force Barack Obama to testify about the alleged conspiracy on Capitol Hill. Mr Trump said the supposed plot was "worse than Watergate", adding: "No more Mr Nice Guy. No more talk!"

Mr Graham responded: "I don't think now's the time for me to do that. I don't know if that's even possible.
"I understand President Trump's frustration, but be careful what you wish for."
Ms Hemingway's article calls on Republican Senate majority leader Mr McConnell to do more to hit back at what she calls the "Russia hoax", warning that the Republicans risk losing their majority in November if he fails to do so.

Gen Flynn was appointed national security adviser in January 2017 but the president fired him for lying to the FBI and to vice-president Mike Pence over his contacts with the then Russian ambassador to the US, Sergey Kislyak.

Mitch McConnell has spent years pretending as though the Russian collusion hoax never happened. If he thinks he's going to keep the Senate majority and confirm more judges without addressing the hoax and holding the hoaxers accountable, he's lost his mind. thefederalist.com/2020/05/15/memo-to-mitch-mcconnell-you-wont-get-judges-if-you-dont-hold-resistance-accountable-for-russia-hoax/ …

The retired three-star general twice admitted lying to the FBI in court. However, Attorney General William Barr has instructed his Department of Justice prosecutors to withdraw the case against him, arguing that Gen Flynn's admissions were not "material" to the Bureau's investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The judge in his case has asked to hear an opposing opinion before deciding what to do with the case.

Richard Grenell, Mr Trump's acting Director of National Intelligence, has revealed the names of Obama-era officials who knew that Gen Flynn was an object of interest to authorities.
www.independent.co.uk/topic/richard-grenell
While Mr Trump and others have argued that this points to a conspiracy against his incoming administration, others have said there is nothing unusual in senior figures requesting the identities of people who may be subjects of investigation, something that has continued under the current administration.
Others have pointed out that Mr Trump has a habit of making outlandish claims about his predecessor, some of which -- including that Mr Obama was not born in America and therefore ineligible to be president, or that he founded the terror group Isis -- have been shown to be false.
Asked last week by Washington Post reporter Philip Rucker exactly what crime he was accusing Mr Obama of, the president declined to explain, saying: "You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody. All you have to do is read the newspapers, except yours."

TRUMP PRESS secretary explained Obama gate i broke down her arguments one by one ......
STEP BY STEP BREAKDOWN .... of her argument and where she gets it wrong
1 the steele dossier was first funded by the RNC .......(see below *)
2.the FISA warrant were listening in on RUSSIAN ambassador surgey kisliack ,not directly on Trump people only when the two crossed paths did the cross party communications get picked up ....
3 .UNMASKING Flynn was not a crime .... Flynn was in direct communication with the Russian ambassador and others...he was also an unregistered foreign agent of Turkey ......
4.Obama , told sally yates ,SO WHAT a president can disclose anything to any one .....NO CRIME
5 the FBI trying to catch him in a lie ....is not a crime they did not GET HIM TO LIE ...he lied on his own about his actions
6.Not sure how she says his name was leaked to the press ...or who the supposed leaker was ....and yes THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED if it happened ........
7 . Lying to the press is not a crime ....if it was Trump would be in jail for 17,000 times he has lied to the press and the American people .....
FACTS : Russia did interfere in the ELECTION .......FACT Rodger Stone was in contact with Guccifer 2.0 Which was RUSSIAN FSB ......and responsible for the DNC HACK.....
Flynn committed PERJURY .........Flynn failed to register as a foreign agent of TURKEY .......Flynn failed to disclose contact with Russian actors and agents ....The fact his name was leaked to the press does not NEGATE FLYNN'S CRIMES .........
(*)....In October 2015, Fusion GPS was contracted by conservative political website The Washington Free Beacon to provide general opposition research on Trump and other Republican presidential candidates. In April 2016, an attorney for Hillary Clinton's campaign and the DNC separately hired Fusion GPS to investigate Trump, while The Free Beacon stopped its backing in May 2016. In June 2016, Fusion GPS subcontracted Steele's firm to compile the dossier. DNC officials denied knowing their attorney had contracted with Fusion GPS, and Steele asserted he was not aware the Clinton campaign was the recipient of his research until months after he contracted with Fusion GPS. Following Trump's election as president, funding from Clinton and the DNC ceased, but Steele continued his research and was reportedly paid directly by Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn R. Simpson. While compiling the dossier, Steele passed information to both British and American intelligence services.......
so at the end of all her rant if there was a leak it needs to be Investigated ...the rest is just smoke and mirrors
plus trump claims Article II lets him do anything he wants as president so if that's true Obama had the same protection RIGHT
?
