Trump knows all about Obamagate ( a slogan looking for a scandal ) ....
“What crime, exactly, are you accusing President Obama of committing?” Rucker (Washington Post reporter ) asked.
“Obamagate,” Trump replied. “It’s been going on for a long time,” he added, without offering specifics.
“What is the crime, exactly, that you’re accusing him of?” Rucker asked again.
“You know what the crime is,” Trump answered. “The crime is very obvious to everybody.”
Days later, that is still where we are: Trump is accusing Obama of a grave crime but refusing even to say what Obama allegedly did, while repeating over and over that the former President is guilty of something, a technique of political agitprop that recalls not only McCarthy but every wannabe dictator for whom the rule of law has little or nothing to do with accusations of illegality.
