President Trump said former President Obama "had to know" about what he believes was a "setup" to prevent him from becoming president.
Speaking to George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week," Trump insisted special counsel Robert Mueller's report cleared him of allegations of collusion with Russia and accused "low-lifes" in the FBI of working against him.
"There was no crime. There was no collusion. The big thing's collusion," Trump said. "Now, there's no collusion. That means they set -- it was a setup. In my opinion, and I think it's gonna come out."
Stephanopoulos asked him, "You clearly believe there was a group of people working against you. Do you think President Obama was behind it?"
"I would say that he certainly must have known about it because it went very high up in the chain," Trump responded. "But you're gonna find that out. I'm not gonna make that statement quite yet. But I would say that President Obama had to know about it."

The man has dementia and if the Republics don't take him out we are in for a night mare.

I'll truly be surprised, if, in 20 years, there aren't reports of him getting certain people "taken care of." The hard way. The permanent way. I'm not making personal accusations, but, with him this scared, and so much crime to cover up, I wouldn't put it past him.

(5,240 posts)I don't get it. It's one thing to ask this:
"You clearly believe that there was a group of people working against you."
Another to ask this:
"You clearly believe that there was a group of people working against you. Do you think Pres. Obama was behind it?"

(612 posts)I think his statement about he's not "yet" saying that's what occurred may well mean that he's been assured that a finding will be made by Barr's "justice" dept. that that's what was done to Trump.
