Obamagate?

Needless to say, I prefer my own coinage, 'Russiagategate'...but 'Obamagate' has more brutal, direct, Trumpian rhetorical punch.
Thing is, by this point, its pretty obvious that there were outlandish shenanigans of some kind. But it's not clear that Obama was actually involved. So it's not a great idea to name the scandal after him quite yet.
Also: no mention of this explosive story on the front page of either the NYT or the ComPos If half the allegations are true, this is, indeed, for the first time in my life, actually "bigger than Watergate." For three years the MSM flogged the completely fake Russiagate story (and forgot about it as soon as it was officially discredited). Now we have credible evidence for an equal and opposite scandal...that the giant pile of nonsense that was Russiagate was a hoax engineered to take down a president...Russian dezinformatsiya + DNC/Clinton-campaign oppo research + a deep state plot. It's not quite as outlandish as "Trump is a Russian asset"...but it's damn near it. And, sadly: this one might be true. But whereas the media breathlessly reported every bit of nonsense when it came to Russiagate...it's near-silence this time around. 
This alone should concern you mightily, IMO.
