Donald Trump just declassified an exonerating Susan Rice email and unwittingly blew up his own conspiracy theory
Donald Trump and his goons have long claimed to be sitting on evidence that proved the Obama administration was somehow plotting against Michael Flynn. This has always been absurd on its face, considering Flynn was caught red handed in his crimes, and confessed to them in detail when he pleaded guilty.
The trouble with hyping a phony scandal like this, and pretending to have corroboration, is that sooner or later you end up being pressured into releasing your supposed evidence. That finally happened to the Trump regime today, which released a Susan Rice email which it claims is proof that President Obama personally targeted Flynn. But instead the email says that Obama told Rice to handle the Flynn case “by the book.”
So the Trump regime just declassified a Susan Rice email that exonerates the entire Obama administration and blows up Donald Trump’s own conspiracy theory. These Trump people are really bad at this stuff, and they keep getting worse at it.
