You did not get rid of shit. Obama stepped down because of constitutionally imposed term limits.
He kicked Republicans ass in every election he was able to stand for.
He left office with a 60 percent approval rating, managed to clean up a lot of the mess the guy you voted for left for him, he is more popular that Trump, and if he was able to stand for a third term you would not have gotten rid of shit....he would have crushed the Obese Orange Hog.
And unlike your popular-vote losing Orange Pig, Obama governed with the consent of the nation - having easily won the majority of the popular vote twice.

Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

I do not recall any prominent Democratic congressional leader going on twitter with childish taunts and public displays of humiliation over Manafort. Which is behavior your Orange Hog routinely indulges in.
I do not recall liberals dog-piling a thread with dancing-party emojis , or TYPING GIRLISHLY IN ALL CAPS, in a juvenile celebration of humiliation and punishment.
You know who I remember actually enjoying, and taking pleasure, from humiliation and degradation?
That's right. The conservatives who were cheering for the water boarding, torture, and sado-sexual humiliation of Iraqi prisoners. I am about 100 percent positive all liberals on the board were against the torture and sadism that so titillated rightwingers.

The Guardian article was obviously inspired by a high-level informant in British intelligance speaking off the record.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...m-links-russia
Starting in late 2015, GCHQ - a world-class sigint agency - began picking up "suspicious interactions" between Trump associates and some of the Russian agents they were monitoring. This raw intelligence was passed to the CIA as a matter of course.
Brennan did nothing. Possibly this was because of the "unmasking" angle as you say. The Trump-Russia investigation only started in the summer of 2016 after the director of GCHQ personally contacted Brennan to pass on the latest material and warn him "there's something not right". By that time similar information was coming from half a dozen other western intel agencies.
The American Spectator spins this as follows:
"Confirmed: John Brennan Colluded With Foreign Spies to Defeat Trump. This is the open scandal that Congress should investigate."

Utter BS - an insult to the reader's intelligence.

According to the story, Brennan got his anti-Trump tips primarily from British spies but also Estonian spies and others. The story confirms that the seed of the espionage into Trump was planted by Estonia. The BBC’s Paul Wood reported last year that the intelligence agency of an unnamed Baltic State had tipped Brennan off in April 2016 to a conversation purporting to show that the Kremlin was funneling cash into the Trump campaign.
Any other CIA director would have disregarded such a flaky tip, recognizing that Estonia was eager to see Trump lose (its officials had bought into Hillary’s propaganda that Trump was going to pull out of NATO and leave Baltic countries exposed to Putin). But Brennan opportunistically seized on it, as he later that summer seized on the half-baked intelligence of British spy agencies (also full of officials who wanted to see Trump lose).
The Guardian says that British spy head Robert Hannigan “passed material in summer 2016 to the CIA chief, John Brennan.” To ensure that these flaky tips leaked out, Brennan disseminated them on Capitol Hill. In August and September of 2016, he gave briefings to the “Gang of Eight” about them, which then turned up on the front page of the New York Times.
All of this took place at the very moment Brennan was auditioning for Hillary.
;;;;;;;;
Out of this Islamophilia came a special dislike of Michael Flynn, who had planned to rip up the Obama-era “reset” with Muslim countries. Furious with Flynn for his apostasy from political correctness, Brennan and other Obama aides couldn’t resist the temptation to take him out after rifling through transcripts of his calls with the Russian ambassador. They caught him in a lie to Mike Pence and made sure the press knew about it.
