Breaking: President Trump orders to declassify documents pertaining to Russia investigation

[basquebromance]

President Trump has kept more promises than he's made!

 

[basquebromance]

Can't wait to see who turns on who in the Deep State now that they're cornered

 

[Ridgerunner]

This just shickles me titless...

Trump moves to escalate investigation of intel agencies

 

[Meathead]

It's just a distraction to keep the weaker minded folks that comprise the republican base occupied.

Do you remember how long the Mueller probe kept your panties wet?

 

[basquebromance]

Trump will lock them all up, pout his lips, and strut like a rooster!

 

[Papageorgio]

Time to pay the Barr tab!

Do you think Barr will end up in prison like Nixon's Attorney General?

Holder didn’t go to prison, so doubtful Barr will at this point.

 

[Moonglow]

Still waiting on this big deal to occur.

Gonna love to watch the rats squirm and turn on one another.

Yup and I'll be watching it with a big, big smile on my face.

This is BIG. The documents are rumored to show that former FBI Director James Comey was fully aware of the illegal spying on the 2016 Trump Campaign. Worse than Watergate!

How was the legal surveillance, spying?

 

[skookerasbil]

Lol....here comes Barr with the big bumpy for the DUMS. About 70 million Americans giddy as shit this morning!! Lol....and CNN was still having panel discussions on Russia last night!.

This forum now becomes a conservative playground for the foreseeable future s0ns!!

 

[Care4all]

let's lock them all up!

It's a real SHAME that he won't release the Mueller report in full and have the underlying evidence declassified and the witnesses testify before congress along with the investigators, so that us Americans can learn the full truth about the events that occurred, and the actions that were taken, during the last presidential election and restore confidence in our public institutions.

He and republicans always manipulates in his/their own favor, and leaves the rest of the actual truth, by the wayside or hidden from us.

The FISA warrants to 'legally' spy on CP were obtained illegally.
The FISA court/s were not told the dossier, used to justify getting the warrant/s was paid for by HRC. That's illegal.
It now turns out the FBI/DOG/CIA all were involved in committing illegal acts.
The IG's report is about to be released.
McCabe and Comey and Brennan and Clapper and Page and Strock and a few dozen others will be facing criminal charges.
Lynch has already turned on Comey. McCabe has turned on Comey. The rats are starting to cannibalize each other.

Perhaps a shame....but the AG cant just go around breaking the law!

Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire

"They were coordinating an investigation with the Hillary team on Paul Manafort with Alexandra Chalupa... the embassy worked very closely with” Chalupa

The differences

If the broad outlines are similar, some key elements distinguish these episodes from each other.

The Politico article highlighted a major one.

"Russia’s effort was personally directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin (and) involved the country’s military and foreign intelligence services," the article said. "There’s little evidence of such a top-down effort by Ukraine."

So, according to American intelligence agencies, the Kremlin shaped and directed the email hacking of Democrats and subsequent distribution. In contrast, a variety of actors on the Ukrainian side responded to American queries and provided public documents.

Which leads to the other big distinction: The Russians got their materials through cyber-attacks, while the only telling document revealed by a Ukrainian lawmaker was the product of an official investigation.

"There’s a difference between dealing with the embassy and dealing with a covert intelligence operation," Wittes said. "Are you dealing with government records, or are you dealing in stolen dirt?"

To be clear, we do not know if the hacked emails had any ties to contacts the Trump campaign did or didn’t have with Russians. But hacked emails are different from the results of a public investigation.

Taking that difference one step further, there was nothing inherently illegal in the quest for information on Manafort and how that might link Donald Trump to Russia. Wittes noted that from a research perspective, since Manafort’s work took place in Ukraine, "you pretty much have to go to the Ukrainians to get that."

Other details also separate the two narratives.

Ukraine is seen as an ally to the United States, while Russia is at best a competitor and often called an enemy.

Lastly, the stories from Trump associates have changed over time as more press reports emerge. In the case of Donald Trump Jr., he first said he never represented the campaign in any meetings with Russians. Then he said there was a meeting, but it was about adoption laws. Then he said it was about Clinton, but it represented ordinary opposition research.

It’s best to think of both stories as moving targets. The more they are explored, the more we will learn.

Trump and Russia, Clinton and Ukraine: How do they compare?

no link; close the thread ............

Why do you have free speech?

1st A.

Why are U 2 dumb NOT to already know that?

Sorry why do you hate free speech?

I like free speech.

Why do you love being ignorant?

I like free speech.

Says the fascist demanding the thread be closed so we can’t talk about it.

No, that would be Trump invoking 'executive privilege'

Good thing Obama never did that.

Politics doesn't require a link, just current events. Read the rules before you act like you know how to enforce them.

I thought Trump was trying to cover everything up. Yet he demands documents be declassified. Hmmm......

Selective documents to be declassified.... which really won't help.... if everything is declassified, then we will see the truth....

But republicans really play games with what they are willing to release when it comes to declassification, and usually build a fake narrative around limited information carefully chosen to help support their "story or conspiracy", only to find out later when the rest of it is released, they deceived us, through not releasing all of the pertinent information at once.

Much like what Nunes did with "release the memo" Carter page FISA stuff,

And Bill Barr, the president's personal attorney did, with his 4 page summary of the Mueller report, only to find out, all of Barr's claims, were downright lies and wrong when the Mueller report was released, even with the redactions.

Lol, you say that after your girl Pelosi says Trump did a massive cover up.

For what enforcing the laws?

How is ignoring congressional subpoena's enforcing the law? You do understand how the government is supposed to work under the constitution?

Don't you?

You don't?

Though so.

Because democrats have turned America into a joke

Oh yea, it must be Democrats. How dare they. Following the US Constitution. Doing their job of "over sight".
Don't they know when a Republican is "King", the Constitution no longer applies?

Starting an illegal investigation with zero evidence except Russian-authored propaganda delivered by a Trump-hating foreign spy and paid for by Hillary is NOT 'conducting oversight' - it's an attempted political coup.

Demanding the US AG break the law and holding him in Contempt when he refuses to do so is NOT 'conducting oversight'.
