Republicans Are Manipulating A Routine U.S. Intelligence Activity In Order To Attack BidenTrump and Republican senators are trying to gin up something called "Obamagate" in an attempt to smear Joe Biden.

We're revisiting all that now as Trump and Republican senators try to gin up something called "Obamagate" to try to hurt Joe Biden. What that something is is not entirely clear, but it involves Richard Grenell, the acting director of national intelligence, declassifying an Obama-administration document related to the supposed "unmasking" of Michael Flynn, Trump's convicted former national security adviser.

Of course it is.
There's zero interest in doing the job. It's 100% politics.

And it is no small irony that the entire supposed controversy is about investigating an upcoming campaign.
So what are they doing...investigating an upcoming campaign.
You can make this shit up.

Bill Barr will enthusiastically use the DoJ as a political tool to advance Trump's campaign however he can.
After, he knows the "winners write history" and he intends to try an ensure he is written about as a Hero of the Sovi.... ummmm... 'Murica.
