Now that the “breathless” media coverage of the Russia collusion “hoax” is over, the White House says it’s time for the mainstream media to focus its attention on Obama administration scandals.
“While the establishment media has breathlessly covered this partisan witch hunt for nearly two years, they refuse to cover the real scandals that plagued the previous Democrat administration,” a White House official told the Washington Examiner Thursday.
“President Trump has been fully and completely exonerated yet again. Now the tables have turned, and it’s time to investigate the liars who instigated this sham investigation into President Trump, motivated by political retribution and based on no evidence whatsoever,” Brad Parscale, the Trump 2020 reelection campaign manager, said in a statement.

“Now that the collusion and obstruction conspiracy theories have been exposed for the pathetic hoaxes they always were, the Obama-era [Department of Justice] and FBI must answer for their misdeeds and the scam that they perpetrated against the American people. Justice will be served,” he added.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email scandal was cited by the administration as well as former President Barack Obama’s dismissal of the issue as a “mistake” but not “a national security problem” during an interview on CBS News’ “60 Minutes” in 2015.
Obama’s remarks reportedly caused concern and prompted one former official to ask, “That’s a problem, right?”
The White House also called for an investigation of the Clinton Foundation’s funding and the efforts by former FBI employees Lisa Page and Peter Strzok for allegedly undermining President Trump while helping Clinton during the 2016 election.
GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel also called out Obama administration scandals in a statement following Attorney General William Barr’s press conference Thursday. McDaniel called Barr’s conclusions about special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on alleged collusion a “complete and total vindication” of Trump.
“It is increasingly clear that the only scandal here is the Obama administration’s repeated failure to act against Russian cyber meddling,” she said.
This is a complete & total vindication of @realDonaldTrump.
The only scandal is the Obama admin’s repeated failure to act against Russian cyber meddling.
Instead, they prioritized spying on the Trump campaign & used a phony DNC-funded dossier as justification.

The Obama administration “prioritized spying on a political opponent—the Trump campaign—and used a phony DNC-funded dossier as justification,” she added.
To recap:
-DNC & Hillary paid for dossier filled w/ unverified, false info
-Obama DOJ used dossier to get warrant to spy on @realDonaldTrump campaign
-Dossier emboldened Dems to launch baseless investigation
2 years & $35 million later: Still NO collusion.
Investigate that.

While Russia was busy interfering in the 2016 election, the Obama administration was asleep at the wheel.
What were they doing instead of taking decisive action?
They were spying on @realDonaldTrump’s campaign.

The Trump 2020 campaign posted a video on YouTube featuring clips of officials and high-profile Democrats accusing the president of colluding with Russia and obstructing justice, among other things.
“Trump was right. They were wrong,” the video declared. “No collusion. No obstruction. Total exoneration.”
