Bachmann's Crazy Conspiracy Theory: Obama and Clinton 'Colluded' and 'Should Be in Jail Right Now'

Former U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann appeared on the “Understanding The Times” radio program on Sunday, where she declared that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton “should be in jail right now” for having supposedly used the power of the federal government to frame President Trump.

“How did our Department of Justice go so haywire?” asked host Jan Markell, to which Bachmann responded by unleashing a torrent of right-wing myths and disinformation designed to create an alternate reality in which Trump is the victim of a massive conspiracy to destroy his presidency that was orchestrated by Obama and Clinton.

“It went haywire under Barack Obama,” Bachmann said. “While this was the Department of Injustice, in my words, we saw the corruption of the FBI, we saw the president of the United States, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton doing the colluding with creating a phony story by paying off a guy to write a phony memo to suggest that somehow Donald Trump was working with Russians on the election.”

“The entire basis of the special prosecutor claim of creating Robert Mueller’s investigation was based upon a lie,” she added. “And, in fact, just the opposite was true. What came out—and this really should be the biggest issue of this election is this—what we found out is that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton colluded together with a former spy from Russia to spy on Donald Trump’s campaign, including embedding a human being in his campaign to spy on him and use the instruments of the United States government—the CIA, the FBI—to spy on a candidate for president.” (There is no known evidence that a “spy from Russia” conducted espionage against Trump on behalf of Obama, Clinton, the Democratic Party or the United States government, and Bachmann did not attempt to present any.)

2. If only she had some of that, whaddyacallit, evidence!

Michele, there's no such thing as faith-based prosecution.

3. So, who's sitting in the White House, you silly twit?

Thank goodness you're not representing a district in Minnesota any longer. What an embarrassment you were!

Evidence of plant life moving North to escape climate change...

6. I wish she had stayed there, frankly.

But, no. She had to move into the congressional district adjacent to mine. Crazy-Eyes Bachmann. I saw her once at the State Fair, in the GOP booth. I moved past as quickly as I could in the crowd.

8. You and me both.

I'm glad that she wasn't my Rep, but I'm fairly certain both of my conservative brothers in law voted for her... Really hope that my sister did not.

7. I assumed we hadn't heard from her because she was in a rubber room somewhere.

9. Somehow, she arose from her self-inflicted spell.

take another dram from your small cup, turn about 3 times and lay yourself back down.
