In his wild and wildly entertaining press conference on Thursday, Trump alluded to the forces working behind the scenes to undermine his presidency. After his national security advisor Gen. Mike Flynn abruptly resigned Monday night, reports surfaced citing “Obama loyalists” in the intelligence community effectively staging a coup by leaking classified information on Flynn to force him out. But is there really an “Obama shadow government” at work or is this just the stuff of yet another conspiracy theory?
The Federalist’s John Daniel Davidson suggests that the outline of a kind of “Obama shadow government” appears to be taking shape, with evidence of some key players within the federal government overtly and covertly working to protect Obama’s legacy, while a coalition of private entities have openly declared their intention to continue to promote his agenda. And then, of course, there’s Obama himself, who announced to all that he has no intention of walking away from the fray.
