QANON OBAMAGATE

"Obamagate is the latest conspiracy theory to be pushed by US president, Donald Trump. It started on the morning of May 10, when Trump retweeted the word “OBAMAGATE!” By the next day, the Obamagate hashtag had accrued over two million tweets and another four million by the end of the week"

"The most corrupt president in U.S. history? Even if #ObamaGate is 100% true, does that make him more corrupt than, say, George W. Bush? If you believe in QAnon and #ObamaGate, then surely you buy into one of the most popular conspiracy theories of the past century. You know, the one that says George W. Bush willingly conspired in the execution of the 9/11 attacks."

"Seizing on a viral hashtag, Trump dubbed the alleged scandal "Obamagate" and has been flooding the zone promoting exaggerated theories and false claims since the weekend. In the President's view, he was the victim of the "biggest political crime in American history" and the Obama appointees who he claims tried to undermine his administration deserve jail time for their misdeeds"

"Amid the chaos, the president coined the term “OBAMAGATE,” a repackaging of his belief that his predecessor, Barack Obama, was privy to — or directed — a grand conspiracy among US intelligence officials to kneecap the Trump presidency in its nascence by using the FBI to entrap certain incoming Trump advisers such as erstwhile national security adviser Micahel Flynn."
