Obamagate: The scandal where Obama did something that Trump accused him of not doing.

So this Flynn unmasking turns out to be what Trump meant by Obama-gate. Okay, let's look at the facts as we find them today:


1) At one time Trump criticized Obama because he didn't act quick enough to investigating Russia for interference.

2) Now we understand that the Obama's investigation of the phone calls that involved Flynn, was part of an investigation into Russian interference.

3) Today we learn that Flynn was never masked.

and republicans are insisting that the obama administration was wrong to ask who it was.

seriously, they're pretending the the obama administration should have carried on talking about national security matters knowing there was a russian spy there and not done anything about it.

you can't make this crap up.

How very strange! I wonder how the media are going to be able to "both sides" this? They've been showing signs of awakening to how Trump is lately, so maybe this nonsense will die a-borning. For once.

OVER-scrupulous-- about staying out of it and insisting it be done "by the book."
