It's getting hard to keep track of all the lies Democrats have told about the investigation into supposed "Russian collusion" with the Trump campaign. From the origins of "the dossier," to the FISA application, to the whole wiretapping scandal the falsehoods, half-truths, and untenable innuendo has been piling up for over a year. To keep track of them all, you'd need one of those crazy conspiracy theorist walls with red string connecting all the players.
Perhaps the oldest of these lies is that the previous administration had nothing to do with any of it. We were supposed to believe that the Obama White House was 100% hands-off, knew little or nothing of what was being investigated, and had no intention of influencing the process in any way. That narrative began to collapse almost immediately, when it became clear that Loretta Lynch was - at the very least - ordering Comey to soften his language in order to protect Hillary Clinton's campaign.
