Trump won't name crime he's accusing Obama of committing


BY MORGAN CHALFANT - 05/11/20 06:11 PM EDT

President Trump on Monday declined to name the crime he believes former President Obama committed as he was pressed on a string of critical tweets he sent over the weekend accusing his predecessor of committing the biggest political crime in history.

“You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody. All you have to do is read the newspapers, except yours,” Trump told Washington Post reporter Philip Rucker during a press conference in the White House Rose Garden.

Trump on Monday aired grievances over the FBI’s investigation into his campaign’s contacts with Russia, suggesting his predecessor was to blame for the probe that dogged his first two years in the White House.

Trump has amplified his attacks on the Russia investigation in the days since the Department of Justice (DOJ) moved to drop charges against his former national security adviser Michael Flynn — a decision critics say showcases the politicization of the DOJ under Trump.

that he put the evidence for Obama's Kenyan birth certificate. Now if he could just remember where that was.

...because there's nothing to find out. "Squirrel! Look over there!"

The man has a squirrel in his head.

We'll replace Obamacare with "something great."

When is that going to happen? "Sooner rather than later."

Hilarious to watch Fox and Friends try to make this pile of Jello amount to a real charge.
