Left wingers think Trump should be worrying. Lefties should be. This is Trump holding his cards and starting to release them now. He’s going to absolutely **** over the democrats in the next two months with slow releases of information. By November democrats will be so down they won’t even bother getting out of bed.
No, Trump is selectively declassifying.......specifically keeping the vast majority of the portions of the FISA warrant application where the FBI disclose the political motivations of the Steele Dossier to the FISA judges classified.
While pushing a narrative that the FBI didn't disclose the political motivations of the Steele Dossier to the FISA judges.
One Trump knows that full disclosure doesn't support.
Which is stupid. There's zero application in any charges to anyone in the FBI. As the FISA warrant still has the disclosures to the judges about the political motivations of the Steele Dossier, classified or no. This is solely to push a narrative that Trump knows doesn't hold up to discredit the Russia Investigation.
Which pointlessly opens Trump up *personally* for all sorts of Obstruction of Justice implications. As Trump got rid of his cut out man Nunes and did the selective declassifications himself.
Again, 30 members of Congress have already seen the unredacted version of the FISA memo. If this was going to be a thing, it would have been a thing.
It’s a thing now. And you’re playing right into his hands. When you demand he release another page, he will in due time. When your argument gets blown up and you ask for another, he will blow you up again. This is going to hurt the left a lot. I suspect soon you will be calling to dismantle the special council and stop the bleeding.
Nope. Again, 30 members of Congress have already seen the pages in question. Unredacted. With 15 of them being republicans. And it was a big bucket of nothing.
The smoking gun...isn't. Which is what opens Trump up to such dangerous Obstruction of Justice implications. As these declassifications have
zero application for charges of anyone in the FBI. While Trump may try and keep the vast majority of those portions of the FISA warrant where the FBI discloses the political motivations of the Steele Dossier
from the public....
.....those portions of the warrant still exist. Even if Trump keeps them classified. And exonerate the FBI in any application of the law.
The sole purpose of these selective declassifications is to push a narrative that the FBI didn't diclose the political implications of the Steele Dossier in the FISA warrant.
A narrative that full disclosure of the FISA warrant doesn't support. And Trump knows full disclosure doesn't support.
Which means that Trump is *intentionally* pushing a narrative he knows the FISA warrant doesn't support for the purpose of trying to discrediting an active investigation.
And Trump did this
personally. No cut out man. No Nunes pushing the false narrative for him. No plausible deniability. All the Obstruction of Justice implications of pushing a narrative Trump knows full disclosure doesn't support to discredit an active investigation.....
....lay right at Trump's feet.
