>>> WHAT CRIME EXACTLY ARE YOU
>>> WHAT CRIME EXACTLY ARE YOU
ACCUSING PRESIDENT OBAMA OF
COMMITTING, AND DO YOU BELIEVE
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SHOULD
PROSECUTE HIM?
>> OBAMAGATE.
IT’S BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG
TIME.
IT’S BEEN GOING ON FROM BEFORE I
EVEN GOT ELECTED, AND IT’S A
DISGRACE THAT IT HAPPENED.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT’S GONE
ON AND IF YOU LOOK AT NOW ALL OF
THIS INFORMATION THAT’S BEING
RELEASED, AND FROM WHAT I
UNDERSTAND, THAT’S ONLY THE
BEGINNING.
SOME TERRIBLE THINGS HAPPENED,
AND IT SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED
TO HAPPEN IN OUR COUNTRY AGAIN.
AND YOU’LL BE SEEING WHAT’S
GOING ON OVER THE NEXT -- OVER
THE COMING WEEKS, AND I WISH
YOU’D WRITE HONESTLY ABOUT IT.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY YOU CHOOSE NOT
TO DO SO.
YEAH, JON, PLEASE.
>> WHAT IS THE CRIME EXACTLY
THAT YOU’RE ACCUSING HIM OF?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT THE CRIME IS.
THE CRIME IS VERY OBVIOUS TO
EVERYBODY.
>> AS HE SAID, YOU’LL BE SEEING
WHAT’S GOING ON.
THE PRESIDENT IS GOING BIG ON A
NEW CONSPIRACY THEORY AHEAD OF
THE ELECTION, SOMETHING HE
CALLED OBAMAGATE, WHICH RICK
WILSON IMMEDIATELY BRANDED A
SLOGAN IN SEARCH OF A SCANDAL.
SUSAN GLASSER WRITES IN "THE NEW
YORKER," IF YOU DON’T GET IT,
THAT DOESN’T MATTER.
YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO.
IT’S A SLOGAN, A RALLYING CRY.
DETAILS ARE ALL BUT IRRELEVANT.
TRUMP HAS ACCUSED THE FORMER
PRESIDENT OF A CRIME, BUT HE
HASN’T EXPLAINED WHAT EXACTLY
THE CRIME IS.
TODAY ON SOCIAL MEDIA, HE
DEMANDED CENTER LINDSEY GRAHAM
LAUNCH A SENATE INVESTIGATION
AND CALL OBAMA TO TESTIFY.
IT WASN’T EXACTLY WELL RECEIVED.
GRAHAM TOLD POLITICO, QUOTE, I
DON’T THINK NOW’S THE TIME FOR
ME TO DO THAT.
I DON’T KNOW IF THAT’S EVEN
POSSIBLE.
I UNDERSTAND PRESIDENT TRUMP’S
FRUSTRATION, BUT BE CAREFUL WHAT
YOU WISH FOR.
SO TO THIS END, WE WELCOME TO
THE BROADCAST TIM MILLER.
HE’S A CONTRIBUTOR AT THE
BULWARK, A FORMER COMMS DIRECTOR
FOR JEB BUSH AND A FORMER TOP
ADVISER TO THE ANTI-TRUMP PAC,
OUR PRINCIPLES.
TIM, A NATION TURNS ITS LONELY
EYES TO YOU.
IN LAY TERMS, WHAT IS THIS?
WHAT IS THE PRESIDENT TALKING
ABOUT?
>> HEY, BRIAN.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
I HOPE YOUR VIEWERS HAVE A NICE
PD SCOTT WITH THEM BECAUSE THIS
IS KIND OF COMPLICATED TO
UNDERSTAND.
OBVIOUSLY THE PRESIDENT AS HE
SHOWED THERE DOESN’T EVEN
UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS.
BUT THE THING IS, THERE IS A
CONSERVATIVE MEDIA ECOSYSTEM
THAT IS VERY DEDICATED TO TRYING
TO EXPLAIN THIS, QUOTE, UNQUOTE,
SCANDAL AND MORE DAMNINGLY, THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS LOOKING
INTO THIS SCANDAL.
SO OUR TAX DOLLARS ARE BEING
PAID TO LOOK INTO THIS
CONSPIRACY THEORY.
SO IN SHORT, THERE ARE TWO PARTS
TO IT.
ONE IS PRE-2016 ELECTION.
THIS IS THE REALLY WACKO PART,
TRYING TO CONVINCE AMERICANS
THAT ACTUALLY THE RUSSIANS DID
NOT INTERFERE IN THE ELECTION ON
BEHALF OF DONALD TRUMP, BUT
THERE WAS AN INTERNATIONAL DEEP
STATE COUP AND AN INSIDE JOB AT
THE DNC THAT WAS OVERSEEN BY
PRESIDENT OBAMA AND OTHERS TO
FRAME RUSSIA AND FRAME DONALD
TRUMP IN AN ATTEMPT TO HURT
TRUMP IN THE ELECTION.
THE PROBLEM WITH THAT PART OF
THE CONSPIRACY THEORY IS, YOU
KNOW, DONALD TRUMP WON THE
ELECTION, AND THEY DIDN’T DO
ANYTHING OR RELEASE ANYTHING
ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE RUSSIAN
INTERFERENCE BEFORE THE ELECTION
IN A WAY THAT COULD HAVE DAMAGED
HIM.
SO THAT PART IS SO FAR OUT THERE
THAT EVEN MANY IN THE
CONSERVATIVE MEDIA WON’T BUY ON
WITH IT.
AND SO THE SECOND PART OF THE
SCANDAL, QUOTE, UNQUOTE, SCANDAL
IS WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE
ELECTION.
THAT IS THIS CLAIM THAT THE DEEP
STATE BASICALLY TRIED TO
UNDERMINE PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU
KNOW, JUDGE JEANINE HAS GONE SO
FAR TO CALL IT A COUP BY, YOU
KNOW, CREATING A LOT OF FALSE
INVESTIGATIONS ABOUT THE RUSSIAN
INTERFERENCE INTO THE ELECTION
IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET PRESIDENT
TRUMP IMPEACHED AND REMOVED, AND
THAT’S BASED ON SOME VERY, VERY
DODGY INFORMATION INDEED.
BUT THE MOST ALARMING PART OF IT
IS THIS LITTLE DRIP, DRIP, DRIP
OF INFORMATION THAT’S COMING OUT
IS COMING FROM THE TRUMP
DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE, RICHARD GRENELL,
WHO HAS HAD NO EXPERIENCE FOR
THIS JOB, WAS A TWITTER TROLL
MOSTLY BEFORE THIS, AND NOW, YOU
KNOW, HE’S RELEASING LITTLE
NUGGETS OF INFORMATION TO GIVE,
YOU KNOW, THE RIGHT-WING MEDIA
ENOUGH TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE
THERE’S A SCANDAL HERE WHEN
