Obamagate 

A fake scheme made up by Republicans to hide that Trump is really the one being helped by Russia.

Basically, the idea of Obamagate is that Obama and Michael Flynn discussed a counterintelligence prom in 2016, and that Obama knew that there were attacks on the election and did nothing about it.
"This whole Obamagate thing... To be clear- and this is using the words of President Trump and his lawyers for the last three years—any sitting president can get any classified information they want. According to Donald Trump, they can launch any investigation they want. They can tell the FBI to pursue only particular individuals. This is not me saying it. This is what Donald Trump's been saying for three years."
