grassplaining 

The ancient republican martial art of starting a fire in a crowded theater and then immediately denying not only starting the fire, but also that there was a theater, or a fire, and going on to say how terrible it is that someone would do something like that.
The two lawmakers issued a joint statement Wednesday alleging "a criminal scheme involving the then-Vice President and a foreign national," in turn requesting production of an unclassified record which they claim could provide insight into any purported illegality.

Later, grassplaining in a new interview, the Senator seemed to imply that proof behind the allegations he made about the President's past and any communications with foreign nationals remains lacking.

B: Geez! Stop glamsplaining me!

Gransplaining 

When someone of an older generation (typically a Baby Boomer) condescendingly explains why you are doing something wrong, even though they lack the shared experience necessary to equate theirs with yours.
"You don't need to go into debt to attend college. Just get a part-time job like I did!"

"Stop gransplaining me, Boomer."
