Trump delays Russia probe document dump after allies pitch a fit

Trump tweeted Friday that he had heard concerns from both the Justice Department and “key Allies” about his instruction. Therefore, he said, he’d asked the inspector general “to review these documents on an expedited basis.” The exact meaning of his tweets isn’t clear, but they appear to represent a near-total walkback of his earlier announcement.

Trump just walked back his controversial order to declassify Russia investigation information

IOW his bluff was called.
 
YOU are so deplorable as not to be worthy of ANY response.

Speaking of deplorable, are YOU attempting to conflate the release of "documents from the FBI's Russia investigation" with the release of FISA warrant applications?
 
So much for the panty wetting enthusiasm by those anxious for another distraction and further damage to our intelligence agencies, ally relationships, sources/ methods and discrediting of the Mueller investigation. Good!

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Friday delayed his own order to declassify and release documents from the FBI's Russia investigation, saying the Justice Department and U.S. allies have raised security concerns about their disclosure.

The announcement, in a pair of tweets, represented a highly unusual walk-back for a president who has pressed for the release of classified information that he believes will expose "really bad things" at the FBI and discredit special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign.​

And your point is? You bitch when he doesn’t listen to them. Now you bitch when he does listen. You’re pathetic.

He knows he will be slammed with obstruction charges if he does. With convictions and indictments swirling around Trump, because of Trump, he took the advice of someone and backed out of another illegal act.

In other words, the IG should only release what make me look good.
Obviously it didn't look that good. Oops! Better back out. Maybe the four judges and the FISA warrants were actually legit? Lol! Of course they were. But those idiots of Jordan and Meadows thought they would try and pull off another scam. What a bunch of fools.
 
You guys complain when he says hes going to release them, then you complain when he says he isnt. I have a sneaky suspicion that you people are going to complain no matter what he does.

Oh I'm not complaining at all. These documents have no business in the general US public's hands, OR in the hands of our enemies who would most certainly use them against us and our allies.

How could you possibly know that when you have no idea what they say? Methinks if these documents threatened to expose Trump or his comrades you’d be all for it and any attempts on Trump’s part to stop it you’d dub obstruction of justice.
Put them out there. The more obstruction at this point, the better.

Only an anti-Trumper would think the president doing something within his authority qualifies as obstruction of justice LOL.
 
He's going to release them
I hope he does. More obstruction ammunition for the prosecution. Do it.

Yeah, here's hoping.

Again, 30 members of congress (including 15 republicans) have already reviewed the full FISA application. All 412 pages of it without redactions.

And......and nothing. The FISA application doesn't have any smoking guns. Nunes already tried this exact bullshit with his debunked 'memo'. And it was a grand fizzle.

The difference is....a House Intel investigation isn't a criminal investigation. So Nunes fucking with it with fraudulent narratives he knows the FISA application doesn't support isn't a crime or obstruction of justice.

Trump trying the same nonsense to discredit an actual criminal investigation where Trump himself is subject to investigation personally? And doing it himself rather than using a proxy like Nunes to release the documents and the fraudulent narrative?

That lays all the Obstruction of Justice implications right at Trump's feet. With no cut-out man like Nunes to blame it on. Someone notified Trump of this....and Trump blinked.

At least you’re dishonest.

When he's doing it to discredit an active criminal investigation that is investigating Trump personally? An investigation that Trump has already tried to shut down? Forwarding a narrative that Trump already knows full disclosure doesn't support?

Oh, yeah it does. With all the implications of Obstruction of Justice landing squarely at Trump's feet.

No Nunes to take the blame.
 
Standard protocol..........to review to ensure no classified material to expose any intel operatives who may be abroad......aka .........make sure nothing in there would put our people in harms way.........

It will be released.
 
There must be some really embarrassing content within them. That'd be the only reason to divulge them in an expedited manner.

He’s completely within his authority. Every fucking thing he does or doesn’t do is obstruction to you folks. Just bc you’re unhappy about it doesn’t make it obstruction. The fact you seem not to care if there was any deceit by the accusers speaks volumes. You don’t give a shit if things were done unconstitutionally, you just want him gone by any means necessary.

I’m so disgusted with the anti-Trumpers. They’ve sunken so low even the truth has lost value to them.

To obstruct an criminal investigation into *himself*?

Are you of the mind that Trump can pardon himself of any crime he commits as well?
