No, it’s not a conspiracy theory:

Democrats and their allies, who like to pretend that President Obama’s only scandalous act was wearing a tan suit, are going spend the next few months gaslighting the public by focusing on the most feverish accusations against Obama. But the fact is that we already have more compelling evidence that the Obama administration engaged in misconduct than we ever did for opening the Russian-collusion investigation.

The Clinton gang did this, too. They were happy to use outrageous accusations as a distraction from their real crimes and coverups.

…from Lileks:

I think a lot of people who lived their lives in a quivering state of imminent ecological collapse-panic have moved those emotions from that box into this one, and feel energized because the dread now seems even more imminent, and they have Science! on their side, and their enemies are all the right enemies, and this time they can make a difference. And it requires nothing.

I could get the Wuhan Virus (I call it that to push back against Newthink that insists the smart people call it the European Virus) and I could die. I know that. I keep that in mind all the time when I leave the house, and gather my tools and shields, and mind my actions with care, for the same reason I signal a lane change on an empty highway. You never know what’s in your blind spot

And the hits just keep on coming. Crowdstrike had no proof that the Russians hacked the DNC server.

[Afternoon update]

Grenell has revealed the list of the many Obama administration people who requested unmasking of Flynn. Joe Biden, who says he didn’t know anything about it, is on it. Of course, given his increasing dementia, maybe he just forgot.
