Poor thing, the Obama tick on his backside is getting him delirious.
President Trump on Thursday escalated his attacks against former President Obama over what Trump has viewed as wrongdoing against his campaign by officials in the previous administration, saying that Republicans should call on the former president to testify.
“If I were a Senator or Congressman, the first person I would call to testify about the biggest political crime and scandal in the history of the USA, by FAR, is former President Obama,” Trump tweeted. “He knew EVERYTHING.”
The president specifically singled out Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), telling him to “just do it” and to stop playing “Mr. Nice Guy.”

Sen Lindsey Graham, probably recognizing how highly unusual this would in an era of the most unusual and unprecedented things coming from Trump, pushes back against this request.
“As previously stated, there will be oversight of all things related to Crossfire Hurricane," Graham said after Trump's tweet, referring to the name given to the FBI's Russia probe.
“I am greatly concerned about the precedent that would be set by calling a former president for oversight," he continued.
"No president is above the law. However, the presidency has executive privilege claims against other branches of government," Graham added.
Obama is giving Trump nightmares, and he hasn’t even got going yet, in what is going to be a hotly contested presidential campaign.
Trump is running scared, because he knows Obama will not be holding back this time. It’s too important to let a Trump have another four years.
