That's all it is. A grab-bag of buzzwords and assertions to hold Obama up as some kind of master Bond villain controlling other Bond villains, so that Trump's fancult can indulge in crucifying him. Again.

What is 'Obamagate'? 3 things to know about Trump's latest fixation
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100213425695

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-barack-obama-obamagate-a9509501.html

Amid the chaos, the president coined the term “OBAMAGATE,” which appears to be a repackaging of his belief that his predecessor, Barack Obama, was privy to — or directed — a grand conspiracy among US intelligence officials to kneecap the Trump presidency in its nascence by using the FBI to entrap certain incoming Trump advisers such as erstwhile national security adviser Michael Flynn.

9. Good Of Them To Help Getting Black Voters To The Polls....

Make 'Defend Obama!' a rally cry for this election, and turn-out patterns will resemble 2008. One of the reasons the cheap thing squeaked in was a lower than usual turn out by black voters, as well as an increase in the portion of blacks voting Republican. This 'Obamagate' line will fix that in a hurry.

"Defeat of a dangerous enemy is something to be for."
