“I’m sitting here trying to figure out what exactly constitutional deprivation there was? What is the crime that people think Barack Obama and Joe Biden are going to be prosecuted under? To be clear, and this is using the words of President Trump and his lawyers over the last three years, any sitting president can get any classified information they want. According to Donald Trump they can launch any investigation they want, they can tell the FBI only to pursue particular individuals, This is not me saying it, this is Donald Trump saying it for three years. This was their argument during the Mueller probe. This was their argument during the impeachment investigation, that the President has this kind of authority. So what did we find out? That Barack Obama was aware about intelligence intercepts on the Russian Ambassador when he was talking with General Flynn? That there had just been an attack on our election a couple months earlier, that we were still dealing with the fallout of Russian election interference in 2016? There was concern about a counterintelligence problem with Michael Flynn and they had a discussion? I’m shocked, I can’t believe they had that conversation. What is the crime?”

I am bilingual besides English I speak Fox living in Oklahoma.
The audience heard ,Donald Trump was right when he argued his power is absolute this liberal just admitted it.

Then the “logic” will follow, Well Trump should use the FBI to spy on Biden just like Obama did get them Frisbee (FISA) warrants and wire tap them. Yes that was posted by someone when I was explaining what a 302 and FISA/FISC were.

So we heard one thing trust me they heard something entirely different.

I do not always bark aloud with laughter,

But when I do, it's usually when a FOX drone gets their ass handed to them on their own show.

Obamagate is a made up word and a charge that President Obama, our intel, and criminal judiciary
systems violated the law by investigating law breaking by people involved with Trump campaign
and Russia in rigging the 2016 elections. It is a right wing trash talking point. "They" are literally
arguing that the Federal Bureau Investigation broke the law by investigating something.

That's pretty much how Trump answered that question yesterday. No one knew what he was talking about, including him.

Trump has a mentality like a child and an outlook like a criminal. He and his cult followers and fellow fools will concoct any onld series of lies and distortions about anyone

He will say and do any falsehood, lie, deception to further his self-interest and ego.

He’s truly a vile human being, the lowest of the low.

And the only thing close to lower than Trump is fox news

Trump is old enough he should remember the wonderful 50s, spy vs. spy, Gary Powers and the U2, "We will bury you!", fallout shelters, duck and cover, etc.
Armed with that knowledge, an intelligent person can extrapolate that known Russian nationals and their associates are going to be closely watched in the United States. And having made that leap, it's only a tiny hop for that intelligent person to realize that anyone who is in frequent contact with those Russians, et al, have themselves become worthy of increased scrutiny.
Of course, like I said, "an intelligent person"
