I’m waiting for Obama to sue Trump for lying about Obama’s surveillance of Trump. After all, if Trump is lying, Obama would have been out there defending himself from the first day that he was accused. Saying that he didn’t do it is not enough, and to prove his innocence and that Trump had slandered him, Obama would have sued, and democrats would have had a big case for finally removing Trump from office, their number one wet dream.

If the desire was for Obama to repair his reputation outside of his base, your point is well-taken.

However, by leaving the accusation out there, he virtue-signals his base that he (broke laws, committed treason, played dirty) against Trump; in his world, ends always justify the means.

Yes, the silences are also information.
