Has Mr. Obama been arrested yet?

No?

Then this thread is pointless.

Not really, it keeps the deplorable fan-fiction isolated in one thread made of pure guano.

Ah!  Sorta like my thread on Universal Basic Income (UBI).

And just who the hell are Eli Lake and Adam Scott supposed to be? Do they have inside knowledge? Or are they just tweeters (twits) who like to fart disinformation from their mouths... or through their fingers into their keyboards?

In case you missed it, this is a handy summary of the information declassified in the last week or two.

I've only heard that BS coming from Trump and his new press secretary. As if either are a font of honesty.

He might mean Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert and well-known far-right kool-aid sipper.
Adam Scott might also just be a random troll or shill as you suggest.

Scott Adams has been detached from reality for a while but seeing him suggest that members of Congress should be killed is 8O

Adam Scott is a lovely man: https://youtube.com/watch?v=OGBop7wzknk

You heard the word here just over three years ago. The president is tweeting it this afternoon.

Not sure, but based on context, the "forced to admit" would probably be a shortened form or "forced to admit under penalty of perjury", in much the same way any "witness" in a court case is "forced" to tell the truth - Failing to tell the truth would have consequences should it be discovered.

Politics 101
In this case, politics 100. He sent 100 Tweets in a single day to distract from the criticism he’s been getting from all sides over his coronavirus failings, and from his aide being pardoned for lying to the FBI.

It’s sad that some people fall for this but that’s America I guess.

Indeed, a lot of Obamagate fan fiction exists. I assume that's just your personal contributions. :mrgreen:
