(51,129 posts)Their strategy is very obvious, turn the #TrumpRussia investigation on its head by accusing Obama of political spying. It is the last refuge of the guilty and caught red-handed (pun intended), to get the evidence thrown out any way possible. Trump reacted on Friday of the week the WH counsel had to order document retention, likely in response to a subpoena delivered to Trump. That's when Trump learned of the gravity of the investigation, and that's the event that revealed the investigation to the degree that Comey could thereafter reveal it publically (since the targets were made aware anyway). After a few days Trump's defense strategy became apparent with his cyber-lynching of Obama. This reveals that "innocent" isn't going to work for him, he needs to prejudice the investigation to attempt to make it go away. Nunes is an actor in that scenario, trying to Benghazi Obama for Trump.
