MADDOW: Scandalized Trump camp pushes distraction story, Obama blame

Scandalized Trump camp pushes distraction story, Obama blame

Rachel Maddow looks at the political practice of "changing the narrative" to distract the media from talking about a scandal, and its application by Donald Trump and his supporters in trying to make the Trump Russia scandal somehow about the Obama administration. Duration: 6:09



I'm calling it the cyber lynching defense to impugn the evidence.
Notice how they are blaming blacks, Obama and Susan Rice, for greater plausibility effect among their racist base.
This started when the WH was subpoenaed (I assume) and WH counsel ordered document preservation (as a result).
That triggered Trump's cyber-lynching of Obama that weekend to try to politicize the investigation and get the evidence thrown out.

Don't confuse them trying to spin this into "it is the black guy's fault" as not taking this situation seriously. That is part of their defense strategy for a very serious situation and evidences how alarmingly they are reacting. They are shitting bricks and deflecting to hide how entangled they are with the Russians and Rosneft agents and how deep the Russian collusion to rig the election goes. They know they are guilty and have been caught!

I did a video search on Twitter for "Susan Rice Andrea" and found the MSM is in full court press witch hunt. #TrumpsTrolls are inundating the feed with their edits of the interview. The reaction by their bots is proportional to their guilt.

They are like little kids caught with their hands in the cookie jar. They're obvious.

first, then everyone was glued to the hearings. That's what will really alter this, more public hearings.
