Yesterday, right-wing commentator Pat Buchanan warned in a WorldNetDaily column of an “Obama plot to sabotage Trump,” claiming that the former president may be participating in “a conspiracy to sabotage the Trump presidency.”

The “real scandal,” Buchanan writes, is not the investigation into connections of President Trump’s associates and campaign officials to the Russian government, but the “Deep State conspiracy to bring down his presidency” that was “perhaps approved by Obama himself.”

“So far, the Russia-connection investigation has proven a dry hole,” he wrote. “But an investigation into who in the FBI, CIA or NSA is unmasking U.S. citizens and criminally leaking information to a Trump-hating press to destroy a president they are sworn to serve could prove to be a gusher. As for the reports of Lynch-White House involvement in this unfolding plot to damage and destroy Trump the real question is: What did Barack Obama know, and when did he know it?”
