President Trump on Thursday pressed Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham to call former President Barack Obama to testify amid new developments surrounding the origins of the Russia investigation and efforts at the time to "unmask" Michael Flynn's name in intelligence reports.

“If I were a Senator or Congressman, the first person I would call to testify about the biggest political crime and scandal in the history of the USA, by FAR, is former President Obama,” Trump tweeted Thursday. “He knew EVERYTHING.”

You expect Sen. Graham to do ANYTHING constructive for the Republican party and Trump? Remember who the leading protege of John McCain was....

Trump is correct. The American people deserve to know if government was used for political spying. If they weren’t then it settles the issue. If Obama lies, let him see the same arrests and treatment as Flynn. No more playing around, what goes around comes around.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, but you’re not one of the Congressmen or Senators that was complicit in allowing Obama into the office that the Constitution says he may not hold.

They're all gonna have cold feet initially (well, most of them).

This thing needs to develop legs and Trump is breaking the ice by putting it out there. And he is putting the fear of God in Obama and his minions.

Looks like the story could be:

Many other complicit gop congress corrupticracts got out inexplicably Abruptly and early in their careers.

Graham underestimating Trump stayed on. Planning to obfuscate

I don’t doubt Trump as most do. Most here in fact. He’s going to root this out. The Dems know it. Which is why they will do anything to get him out of the White House They cannot deal with his being in power at the same time knowing what they were and still are up to. And he does know.

Linda is a member of the uniparty - not the GOP. He is possibly the leader of the uniparty.

Why Fox news has him on so often is beyond me. He talks a big game and does nothing nor will he do anything.

The King of Empty Promises.... aka Sen. Graham

Will President Trump push, knowing that a bunch of Congressional RINOs will also suffer? Will he attack ALL his enemies?

Now I have a contrary view- I think there's no way Barack Obama could've been the leader of this coup attempt. He probably gave it his blessing, but to work an underhanded coup like this requires intelligence and cunning- none of which Barack Obama is capable.

He's more like Chance the Gardener.

Wonder if Graham is going to leverage this and force Trump to choose a liberal SCOTUS nominee. Personally, I’d rather see Obama/Hillary & Co. face justice for their heinous crimes than to worry about a SCOTUS vacancy, even if RBG kicks the bucket. Because if Obama is found to be ineligible, then Kagan and Sotomayer would have to resign anyway.
