Polisplaining 

Polisplaining occurs when a politician or political commentator talks condescendingly to someone about something he / she has incomplete knowledge of, with the mistaken assumption that she / he knows more about it than the person he's talking to does.

I just spent the last hour listening to a group of talking head polisplaining an issue everyone knows they haven't seen (or don't have the clearance to see) the evidence.
