Trump has a new harebrained scheme to defeat Biden, and it's his dumbest yet [View all]

If you wondered what the “Obamagate” nonsense is about, don’t expect actual wrongdoing or even a logical narrative about what it all means. As impeached president Donald Trump said when asked by The Washington Post’s Philip Rucker what it was all about, all he could do was bluster, “You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everyone.”

Nah, it’s got nothing to do with reality, and everything to do with Trump suddenly deciding that the only way he can beat presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden is by ha ha ha ha destroying President Barack Obama. As one prominent Republican told Vanity Fair, “With Obama he’s going for the jugular. I wouldn’t be surprised if he puts out the really dirty stuff.”

The really dirty stuff.

It’s not fully appreciated just how clean an administration Obama ran. How much corruption did we suffer, how many indictments did we see? I’m pretty sure the answer is “none and zero.” But now we’re supposed to think that they’ve got the really dirty stuff, the stuff that we hadn’t seen before, but: you know what it is. It’s really obvious to everyone. And Trump’s crowds will dutifully chant “lock him up” even as absolutely none of them could tell you why.
