There are definitely some on the left (and some media outlets) saying it (which I agree is stupid), but this seems to be another case of conservatives making the counter outrage bigger than the original outrage. The only talk I’ve seen about this (in multiple places), is someone complaining about why there was outrage in the first place.

Yup. This forum is still the only place that I've heard about this. Has shown up exactly zero times on the moderate to left-of-center news sources that I read.

Some of these are wokesters complaining, but:

1) the Fox News one is complaining about the complaining

2) the e online one was completely unrelated

3) the cnbc one is talking about the American Eagle stock price rising

It's pretty much all wingers that are talking about this. That's the point. It's  big deal only in the delusional brains of the wingers. The liberals really aren't making a big deal about this, even though you can always find somebody that's upset about every single thing. There are plenty of dumb wingers out there too that get upset every time they see a black person in an ad.

Lefties aren’t seeing or saying much about the treasonous, traitorous behavior of Obama and his cabal in the Russian collusion hoax, either.  The biggest scandal in American history.  Being well informed is not a lefty trait.

Yah; there's a bunch of evidence that Obama "manufactured" evidence. 

I'm still waiting for them to arrest him, since they have such a strong case. 

....still holding my breath...I'm sure it will be any day now.....LMFAO

You act like because it hasn't happened you can't be wrong.  Do you think this a 15 minute investigation? The evidence is clear and required extensive documentation.  When your position is he hasn't been arrest I must be right, you show great ignorant and arrogance.

LMFAO. Yah, "clear evidence" according to the Trump Administration. They're always 100% honest. Keep drinking the Kool Aid.

You want me to believe they were spying on Trump and running fraudulent evidence through a fisa court and Obama didn't know anything about it? And I'm stupid for not believing that? Almost sounds like you're blaming the deep state.

Absolutely...100%, if evidence was truly "manufactured" in the first place. He had a lot more important things to worry about. He ordered the investigation but didn't actually do it himself. Plenty of bigger fish to fry.

This just shows how ignorant and gullible you are. Only a fool believes that. They claim to have evidence of his direct involvement including sworn statements from whistle blowers. He is the corrupt liar we thought he was.

Are you predicting Obama gets charged with treason?  I believe it’s the only possible charge they have available

Probably not because he isn't an American.

No, because they don't have jack squat for evidence. They're all serial liars.

Right, there are no side effects from the jab and China didn't let the virus escape and we never funded gain of function and there was no plane full of American currency flown to Iran In the middle of the night and Joe is sharp as a tack and the laptop is Russian misinformation. When it comes to truth I think your living in a glass house.

Are you implyinhg he didn't see it?  What kind of a question is this?   It is not a denial of the fact.   Seems more like confirmation with a quizzical wondering about what kind of TV he watches.
