Brennan, Comey and Clapper met Obama the day before they went to Trump with the blackmail. I think Jan 5 and 6, 2017.
And Obama issued the Executive Order (written by Clapper and signed off on by Lynch) which purported to legalize this on January 12, 2017. Nobody could figure out why at the time. Literally in the last days of his administration.
It's becoming clear that Maobama was actively tplotting to fk-over the incoming president in any way he could.
