Was Obama in on the Russian collusion hoax?

 Mike Miller:

With All Eyes on Hillary in Russian Collusion Hoax, What About Obama?

...

 In an attempt to frame Donald Trump for colluding with Russia, Hillary, in effect, colluded with Russia.

But what about Obama?

While “What did Obama know, and when did he know it?” is a good question, here’s an even better one: What did Obama do, and when did he do it? Let’s take a quick trip in the Wayback Machine.

...

Author Jack Cashill on Wednesday also asked the question in an extensive report for The American Spectator. As Cashill sees it, “it is becoming increasingly clear that then-President Obama was very much in on the effort to smear Donald Trump as colluding with Russia.”

Cashill referenced his 2020 book, “Unmasking Obama: The Fight to Tell the True Story of a Failed Presidency,” in which he blistered not only Obama but the liberal media for colluding with the Obama administration, as well. (Emphasis, mine.)

...

Obama and Brennan knew by early August 2016, said Cashill, that the FBI was investigating the Trump campaign’s alleged involvement in the collusion plot.

Importantly, they also knew the investigation was based on a Clinton dirty trick. At this point, [Former FBI Director James] Comey may not have known. If Durham can get someone to talk about these meetings — a big “if” — CNN may even pay attention.

Of Comey’s involvement, Cashill wrote:

Comey would surely have known about Clinton involvement by September 7, 2016. On that date, the CIA sent a memo to the FBI — attention Peter Strzok — relating “US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers as means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.”

Although Obama has been largely quiet about how “he and his team transformed a Hillary-approved plot to kneecap Trump into a massive, multi-year government-run plot to do the same,” Cashill observed, “his colleagues have been more forthcoming.”

“The story they told did not have to be true,” said Cashill.

“As with all cover-ups, it merely had to be plausible.”

There is more.

I suspect that Biden was probably also aware of the scam.  What I don't know is whether Durham is willing to dig into a case involving Obama, Biden as well as Hillary Clinton.  Right now he seems focused on a few people who lied to the FBI.  A logical step would be to also focus on those who hired the liars and those in government who knew they were lying to the FBI.  So far, it does not look like the accused are willing to turn on those behind the plot.
