Um, that's not what happened, but I'm guessing you got that spin from a conservative source. Trump was holding a rally several weeks back, and inferred that an attack took place the night before.
I guess this is where we're at, though. Trump puts out complete fabrications with no evidence to support those claims, and then some on the right scramble to find anything that can muddy the waters, even if it takes weeks or months. We also saw that with the false wiretapping claims, which prompted Nunes to mishandle a separate investigation... and now they're trying to make that same connection with the Susan Rice story. I get that Trump supporters won't question the conflation of these separate issues, but I would hope the people in the middle could see through the BS.
