First the Supreme Court throws Trump a bone on immigration, and now this. I just love the political theatre, and at the moment Trump is ascendant on the stage.

Trump has a valid argument based on what's publicly known. Former White House officials have openly stated that Obama knew of Russian meddling during the presidential election. A clear possibility why he did nothing about it was because he expected Hillary Clinton to win anyway. That may or may not be collusion or obstruction at a criminal level, but it would be deeply questionable behavior on the part of the outgoing president regardless.

As theatre goes, is it drama or comedy? Bit of both actually, with enough satire to satisfy even the most cynical.
