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.
