GOP senators push Obama conspiracy to hide Trump's Epstein scandal

Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John Cornyn of Texas are following President Donald Trump's command to distract from the Epstein files by going after President Barack Obama.

Both lawmakers are now calling for a special counsel to probe whether Obama committed treason through the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election, which consumed much of Trump's first term.

"For the good of the country, Senator [Cornyn] and I urge Attorney General Bondi to appoint a special counsel to investigate the extent to which former President Obama, his staff and administration officials manipulated the U.S. national security apparatus for a political outcome," Graham wrote on X Thursday.

Graham and Cornyn are referring to the ridiculous lie cooked up by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who baselessly accused Obama of a "treasonous conspiracy" in which he “manufactured intelligence” about Russian election interference in 2016 to "subvert the will of the American people" by "trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people."

It's all just a big fucking game to them. Wouldn't it be nice if these Republican asskissers actually focused on legislation to improve the lives of all Americans?

with Trump that they'll go down with him when the truth comes out. Until that happens, they will continue to parrot the worst conspiracy theories advanced by Trump and his willing henchmen.
