Obamagate is the start of an Attack On Biden!

Republicans Are Manipulating A Routine U.S. Intelligence Activity In Order To Attack Biden

Trump and Republican senators are trying to gin up something called "Obamagate" in an attempt to smear Joe Biden.


Remember back in the Before Times when many people were very concerned about the fact that Russia helped get Donald Trump elected in 2016, and we also found out that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell helped make that happen by covering it up in the summer and fall of 2016, before we all voted? 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. Before we travel too far down this path, also remember this:

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.

Hunter and Ukraine were first. Tara Reade was second. Heck, I'm probably missing some others.
