Trump Blasts Russia Investigation as ‘a Set-Up,’ Claims Obama ‘Certainly Must’ve Known About It’
IJR.com ^ | 16 June 2019 | Houston Keene

Posted on 06/16/2019 9:33:35 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

President Donald Trump claimed that the investigation into the alleged conspiracy between his 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government was a “set-up” and that former President Barack Obama “certainly” must have had knowledge about it.

In a portion of an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopolous that aired on “ABC This Week” on Sunday, the president discussed former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report, saying that he believed the investigation into his 2016 presidential campaign was a “set-up” after the probe found “no collusion.”

“There was no crime. There’s no collusion. It was a setup, in my opinion,” said Trump. “And I think it’s going to come out. I hope it’s going to come out — we’re going to find out very soon.”

Watch the video here:

Stephanopolous then pressed Trump on whether or not he believed Obama “was behind” the probe into his presidential campaign.

Stephanopolous: “You clearly believe there was a group of people working against you, do you think President Obama was behind it?”

Trump: “I would say he certainly must have known about it because it was very high up in the chain. You’re going to find that out. I’m not going make that statement quite yet, but I’d say that President Obama had to know about it.”

The president also called out 2020 Democratic presidential primary candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden in the interview for his flip-flops on key issues.

As IJR Red previously reported, President Trump blasted the former vice president as a “weak guy” that “wanted to be a tough guy” and pointed out that Biden’s flipping on major issues such as the pro-life Hyde amendment and China’s threat as a growing influence in the global economy.

Maybe if Obama was really the person in charge he would have.

But Obama was only the public face, a spokesperson, for the shadowy cabal of leftists who snuck him into the Presidency.

Obama spearheaded it. Probably why Obama is in France right now.

Good riddance. Stay there Mr. Former Enemy in Chief.

Until we come and get you and arrest you for treason and high crimes.

What did Obama know and when did he know it?

Spread it far and spread it wide.

I'm sure Obama knew everything. He didn't care.

All he cared about was getting Hillary elected....and a nice little job in Tahiti.

.....Dems actually did Collude with foreign countries to generate propaganda to affect a Presidential Election.
They forced a bogus investigation.....and in typical Dem fashion, they accused Trump of doing what they did......

.......there are dozens of memos that make up an actual diary of moment-by-moment events, during the FBI
investigation of Donald Trump (as candidate and as president), documented by Obama's FBI Director Comey......

SOURCE: CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE | 4/9/2019 | SUNDANCE / FR Posted by bitt
A late day submission to DC Circuit Court in a FOIA case reveals the content of previously
unknown James Comey memos
. Obama's entire anti-Trump operation is memorialized in writing:
<><> how Obama’s FBI Director James Comey wrote down the sources and code-names assigned;
<><> how confidential sources engaged with FISA coverage initiated by Obama's FBI;
<><> naming foreign governments assisting Obama and Hillary with their vile efforts;
<><> and the rollout plans for Obama's phony investigation....."by the book."

======================================

During her ill-fated campaign Hillary bragged about “foreign governments” supporting her election.

Are these the same “foreign governments” Comey had assisting their efforts to frame Trump? (smirk)

That would mean Obama, Comey and Hillary were colluding with
foreign governments to meddle in our elections, wouldnt it Donald?

I don’t trust Wray’s FBI, so have the US Marines show up at 5:30 AM at Val’s house to get the computers.

I think you have overlooked that he was the marxist muslim smiley “death to America” poster boy.
That is why he was so supportive of the UN, who are on a push for a global caliphate as well as giving Iran the tools necessary to meet their objectives.
Sure , all roads led back to the front man BHO, but he was enabled by both dems and repubs.
If you were to read the jackal, you would see thought of his peers from 30 years ago, that marxism by itself ws not enough to bring down the west, nor was islam, but, yes, a coalition could.
The agenda was to take out the hub of western man , America; then the rest would have fallen.
Had Hillary won, all would have been swept under the table, as would have America been.... The muslim way is about erasure.

and that former President Barack Obama “certainly” must have had knowledge about it.

"Certainly must" ... as opposed to "had"? This indicates a little uncertainty. At this point (to paraphrase the Pulp Fiction quote) "we don't want to think ... we want to know". Hopefully Barr will come through with some justice and some closure here.

I don’t think they realize yet how bad this set up will be for them.

It’s a snare and they have stepped in it and it is tightening around them right now.
