2. Maybe this??

A headline from 'The Daily Mail', so..........

Michael Flynn's attorney claims Obama was in on FBI plot to 'frame' him in Russia probe

[spanone]

17. Another term & he will go after President Obama, I have no doubt.

[MFM008]

20. you havent seen his twitter feed

lately, huge push to blame Obama for all the investigations into him and Flynn etc.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

3. Dunno for sure

But probably something to do with Flynn/Russia/Mueller. Right-wingers seem to think that DOJ's move to dismiss Flynn's criminal charges mean that they will making moves against the Obama Administration's initiation of investigation of Russia in 2016

[RDANGELO]

4. I think that it is pretty much the deep state thing, and that it was being led my Obama.

People are dying losing their jobs and their health care, but this is all they care about.

[wishstar]

5. Latest rightwing conspiracy theory that Pres. Obama was in on FBI trying to frame Flynn

This accusation is being spread around by Flynn's attorney who has concocted allegations about Pres. Obama being somehow involved with FBI setting up Flynn to be entrapped into lying to FBI.

6. Here' a quick one-sentence summary:

“OBAMAGATE!” Trump fired Flynn, a retired general, in early 2017, for lying to Vice-President Mike Pence about conversations with the Russian ambassador regarding sanctions

[Salviati]

7. Bullshit?

I'm guessing that it's bullshit.

Don't have time for any bullshit here.

29. I can't find the exact tweet, but one last night noted...

...that the hashtag first started circulating from dodgy Russia-based accounts.

[Gothmog]

30. Is this what you are looking for?

32. Not that one, but one calling out some bot accounts

[Andy823]

31. I totally agree with you

trump is running scared and he needs to change the subject from his miserable handling of the pandemic, to something else, like blaming Obama for everything! It's nothing more than a pack of lies put together by trump and his degenerate gang of assholes.

I also agree that Russian trolls are busy on all social networks trying to persuade anyone dumb enough to believe them, that everybody is against poor trump, and of course Obama is behind it all. Hell we have a lot of those trolls here spreading BS everyday. New trolls seem to show up regularly here. They aren't too hard to spot. Some have some how managed to post over a hundred posts a day, and rack up thousands of posts in only a month in a half.

People need stop buying into the troll bullshit and ignore them.

[Gothmog]

34. It is clear that Putin is worried

9. I hear...

... the Trumpsters think Obama is trying to get rid of their idol and declare himself President again. They believe he runs a "deep state" government. They think he's been trying to overturn the "election" of their idol and is a traitor to the USA. Hillary and Biden are part of the "deep state." The Trumpsters are quite silly... only Dick Cheney had a "deep state" and he called it his "shadow government."

[cayugafalls]

10. More bullshit from Russian trolls and bots...

Expect it to only get worse.

Russian trolls and bots will pull out all the stops and FB and Twitter will let them have free reign.

[calimary]

11. Just more grasping at straws.

[SCantiGOP]

12. Trump tweeted it out today

He didn't explain what it meant.
Probably has something to do with Obama subverting the FBI, spying on Trump, creating the Corona virus, sinking the Titanic and losing the War in Vietnam.

[Roland99]

13. Like Q. But specifically related to Flynn/russian investigation

[Tech]

14. The name of a squirrel.

[crickets]

33. Ha! Good one, and true as well. nt

[nolabear]

15. Thanks for asking. They're orgasming over there about exceeding 1 mil tweets.

I don’t have the heart to tell them the K-pop teenaged girls beat them out pretty much every night. They’re having so much fun talking to one another.

Lord, Twitter...

[Xolodno]

16. Yeah, seen a lot of it on facebook.

It's nucking futs. They've wrapped themselves with so many conspiracy and bullshit, they don't even know which way is up anymore.

Like the virus, to them its about "government control"....and when I push the issue of control of what? Why would nations world wide, destroy their economies, risk overthrow of their government and I point to an example, Russia, who is not on good terms with the USA, is taking this seriously.

They blow it off "because they are in the know".

No critical skills of any kind.

[Iggo]

18. It's nothing. (n/t)

[maxrandb]

21. Well, if it follows script, the "liberal" media will spend until November

covering this bullshit like it's a real fucking thing, including hours of empty podium Breaking News shots as they wait for the orange asspickle to weigh in on Obama's "crimes".

You know, they HAVE to get the other side out there to be fair and ballanced.

This is how completely made up horseshit makes it into the "news".

You might think a story this big... about the first African American president being investigated for treason would push the Tara Reade story off the news, but trust me, our media will find the time to cover both.

They'll treat this fucking fantasy, that would get laughed out of a Hollywood producers office in a nanosecond, with the seriousness of dick cancer.

It will be fun to see if we truly are a 3RD world country.
