Obamagate investigation

In the 115th Congress the committee asked Obama administration senior officials in law enforcement -- intelligence -- and national security if they had any evidence that the 2016 Trump campaign actually colluded with Russia. Every single one -- testifying under oath -- said they did not.[1] In public -- however -- they said the exact opposite. Their false statements to the national media carried weight because the public assumed -- reasonably enough -- that these former officials must have seen damning classified evidence. They hadn’t. Still -- they spewed devastating anti-Trump messages the mainstream media was eager to broadcast. “Trump-Russia Collusion” was the liberal media's biggest story for the first three years of Donald Trump's presidency. And it wasn’t true.
