.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump wants Obama investigated (but he’s not quite sure why).
Donald Trump’s preoccupation with Barack Obama may not be new, but it does seem to be intensifying. Did you happen to catch the Republican’s comments on Friday afternoon, at a White House foreign-policy event?
“We want to find out what happened with the last Democrat president. Let’s look into Obama the way they’ve looked at me. From day one, they’ve looked into everything that we’ve done. They could look into the book deal that President Obama made. Let’s subpoena all of his records.”I’m not sure which complaint was weirder, but it’s probably worth pausing to consider the curious calls for an investigation into Obama’s “book deal.
And that apparently triggered a reflex: Trump is infuriated by scrutiny, so he automatically called for comparable scrutiny of Obama. In his mind, the two men deserve equal examination of their respective records.1. Congressional Republicans spent years desperately searching for a legitimate Obama scandal, but they couldn’t find one. In contrast, Trump is at the center of credible allegations of multiple felonies.
