Trump Declassifies FBI’s Russia Conspiracy-theory Investigation


Mere hours before the end of his presidency, President Trump ordered the declassification of important documents about the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Crossfire Hurricane “investigation” — a phony probe into baseless conspiracy theories peddled by Deep State Democrats and Obama officials claiming alleged “collusion” between Russia and the Trump campaign. The disclosures made so far about “Russiagate” and “Obamagate” provide more damning evidence about the out-of-control corruption within the Obama FBI and the Department of Justice. More is expected in the months ahead.


Still, the news was a major disappointment to Trump supporters, who pleaded with the president to declassify everything about the probe and other issues, with the exception of critical national-security information that could potentially harm the United States. Grassroots Trump supporters were hoping the president would also declassify documents exposing the CIA, the Deep State, additional evidence of election fraud, federal support for terror groups during previous administrations, unconstitutional spying on Americans, more details on the murder of JFK, and much more.

I wonder who (follow the money see the agenda) doesn't want the JFK files declassified?

Federal Censorship Protects Leviathan’s Crimes

Ever since the 9/11 attacks, Republicans and Democrats have conspired to keep Americans increasingly ignorant of what the federal government does. The number of secret federal documents skyrocketed, and any information that was classified supposedly cannot be exposed without dooming the nation.

Politicians and federal agencies recognize that “what people don’t know won’t hurt the government.” James Madison, the father of the Constitution, declared in 1798 that “the right of freely examining public characters and measures, and of free communication among the people thereon … has ever been justly deemed, the only effectual guardian of every other right.” But this right has faded badly in recent decades. During the 2020 Senate impeachment trial of Donald Trump, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer warned that if the Senate did not vote to hear witnesses, “this country is headed towards the greatest cover-up since Watergate.”


Actually, “conventional wisdom” in the nation’s capital is often the result of cover-ups, ignorance, and servility. Daniel Ellsberg, who risked life in prison to leak the Pentagon Papers, observed in 2002, “It is a commonplace that ‘you can’t keep secrets in Washington’ or ‘in a democracy.’ … These truisms are flatly false…. The overwhelming majority of secrets do not leak to the American public.”


Since the 1990s, the number of documents classified annually by federal agencies increased more than tenfold. In 2004, Rep. Chris Shays (R-Conn.) derided the federal classification system as “incomprehensibly complex” and “so bloated it often does not distinguish between the critically important and the comically irrelevant.” The New York Times reported in 2005 that federal agencies were “classifying documents at the rate of 125 a minute as they create new categories of semi-secrets bearing vague labels like ‘sensitive security information.’”


The more information the government withholds, the easier it becomes to stampede people with deceptive disclosures. As a federal appeals court warned in 2002, “When government begins closing doors, it selectively controls information rightfully belonging to the people. Selective information is misinformation.” The current classification system combines the worst aspects of cover-ups and arbitrary power.


Classification can be a political flag of convenience that politicians exploit to dominate the media. New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd observed in 2006 that “the entire Iraq war was paved by [Bush administration] leaks. Cheney & Co. were so busy trying to prove a mushroom cloud was emanating from Saddam’s direction, they could not leak their cherry-picked stories fast enough.” Bush administration disclosures of sensitive information were often handed on a silver platter to pliant journalists. Newsweek’s Richard Wolffe explained the Bush White House method: “They declassify when they feel like it. I’ve been with senior administration officials who have just decided to declassify something in front of me because it’s bolstering their argument.”

I posted this article yesterday and nary a soul read it- imagine that. Everyone knows all there is to know about everything there is to know anything about- and have the audacity to believe they're informed- SMH

Declassify the post-9/11 torture program


As Joe Biden settles into his presidency, in addition to facing a pandemic and economic crisis, he will hear demands for accountability. If President Biden is going to help restore a robust commitment to the rule of law, he will need to reach further back than Donald Trump and the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6. He will also need to address the abuses that followed the 9/11 attacks — specifically, the CIA-run torture program.

When President Obama took office, he immediately acted to end the torture program and close the secret CIA detention facilities. But he pledged to “look forward, as opposed to looking backward,” a folksy remark that signaled a widespread policy. Not only has almost no one been held to account for detainee abuse, the torture program itself remains classified.

snip

After the 9/11 attacks, the CIA created a program of “rendition, detention and interrogation” that included authorizations for — and the actual commission of — multiple criminal acts including kidnaping, torture, assault, sexual assault and other offenses. In 2012, the Senate Intelligence Committee completed a sweeping, 6,000-plus page report on the program. The executive summary, more than 500 pages released in 2014, was declassified in part, leaving a network of redactions that shielded those responsible from accountability and kept the program itself classified.

Did you read them yet?

I read some of it, it makes clear the Russian election claims are bullshit, here are few articles about it:

Senate Judiciary Committee Releases 11 Transcripts From Investigation into DOJ/FBI Misconduct During Crossfire Hurricane

and,


Homeland Security Committee Releases Report Outlining Biden Family Selling U.S. Policy for Personal, Financial Gain

and,

FBI Supervisory Special Agent Joseph Pientka Testified The Review of Chris Steele was “Turned Off” By FBI Director of Counter Intel Bill Priestap

and,

FBI Lawyer Who Doctored False Information to FISA Court Gets 12 Months Probation, 400 Hrs Community Service and No Fine


More will come as the Declassification process unfolds.

Of all of our darling alphabet agencies, The eff bee eye is the worst. Even at the beginning of their poisonous reign, they were awful. No working their way up the ladder to corruption for them... they jumped all in before the floor wax was dry.

I don't guess this is on topic, but I got triggered.

It's still not enough- I'll go with Madison's statement-


Politicians and federal agencies recognize that “what people don’t know won’t hurt the government.” James Madison, the father of the Constitution, declared in 1798 that “the right of freely examining public characters and measures, and of free communication among the people thereon … has ever been justly deemed, the only effectual guardian of every other right.”

They still haven't released ALL the JFK transcripts, nor all the 9/11 transcripts- nor all the Epstein transcripts- to name a few- I prefer non-redacted evidence- these ass clowns work for us, allegedly- they don't have the authority, morally or legitimately, to hide shit to cover their shit- they act under the color of law, which is not adhering to the rule of law- and they do it legally by twisting, spinning, castigating and out right lying

I don't buy "official" anything, especially redacted bullshit-

Edited to add: Assange.

Let me point out the above as well- and let's talk about Hillary's emails and servers- the list could grow to a book- and I stand by my assertion- not enough.
