I ran across this on Gab - thought it was a simple explanation and short enough to hold someone elses(who is not all that informed/interested)attention:

Obamagate in short:
Flynn was set up to blackmail him into committing perjury against the president of the United States.
The setup started when Obama was still president, but was the outgoing administration. Trump had been elected, but not yet in office.
Biden approved illegal spying on people in the Trump campaign. We now know that in the end, this illegal spying was used to manufacture blackmail material on Flynn, which material we now know, though loosely based on real facts obtained in large part by illegal spying, was forged.
We don’t have any proof that Obama ordered this illegal spying, but we do know he was in the loop, we do know he was kept closely informed of the result of this spying.
Since they could not get any dirt on Flynn, they tried to get him to lie to the FBI - which is normally a couple of weeks in jail, but with a cooperative judge, can be forty years in jail. He did not lie, so the record of his conversation with the FBI was altered.
Flynn pled guilty in return for clemency, after being financially ruined by endless legal action - the process is the punishment. After he pled guilty, the prosecution reneged on the deal, and called for the most severe penalty, because he had failed to commit perjury against Trump. They lied about him, then they lied to him.
So, Flynn clean as a whistle (otherwise it would not have been necessary to rewrite the 302 of his conversation with the FBI) the FBI, the DoJ, the Fisa court, and the Mueller investigation up to its neck in criminal acts, and these criminal acts started with illegal spying, which illegal spying came from the top of the Obama administration, with Obama in the loop.
I think as time goes on, we’re going to see many “Obamagates”. But as far as this particular Obamagate, Jim did a pretty good job, but he missed perhaps the biggest detail. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Flynn’s conversation with Kysliak wasn’t monitored only through FISA.
There was a parallel surveillance operation on Flynn going back years perhaps that was directly surveilling Flynn and undoubtedly others. The giveaway is the fact that Obama was aware of the Flynn/Kysliak conversation prior to it ever being unmasked. He was aware of it through other channels - either Five Eyes or The Hammer.
When that fact becomes public, it will lead to many more Obamagates.
