Thread: Trump gives AG Barr authority to declassify documents related to False FISA's.

    Trump gives AG Barr authority to declassify documents related to False FISA's.

    Give 'em hell, Trump!

    President Trump on Thursday night issued a memo giving Attorney General William Barr the authority to declassify any documents related to surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016.

    Trump also ordered the intelligence community to cooperate with Barr. The memo read: "The heads of elements of the intelligence community... and the heads of each department or agency that includes an element of the intelligence community shall promptly provide such assistance and information as the Attorney General may request in connection with that review."
    "Today, at the request and recommendation of the Attorney General of the United States, President Donald J. Trump directed the intelligence community to quickly and fully cooperate with the Attorney General’s investigation into surveillance activities during the 2016 Presidential election," Press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.

    "The Attorney General has also been delegated full and complete authority to declassify information pertaining to this investigation, in accordance with the long-established standards for handling classified information. Today’s action will help ensure that all Americans learn the truth about the events that occurred, and the actions that were taken, during the last Presidential election and will restore confidence in our public institutions."

    Trump claims his campaign was the victim of "spying," though the intelligence community has insisted it acted lawfully in following leads in the Russia investigation.

    Last month, Barr ran into a buzz saw of criticism from Democratic lawmakers and media figures for testifying that “spying did occur” against the Trump campaign in 2016. But despite the backlash, Barr appeared to be referring to intelligence collection that already has been widely reported and confirmed.
    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told the Associated Press last month that she doesn’t “trust Barr,” but she trusts Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., accused Barr of “peddling conspiracy theories.”

    Did you vote for Michael Dukakis or George Bush instead of Ron Paul in 1988?

    Well, maybe by the time everyone gets done prosecuting each other in D.C. Rand might be the only one left, hahahahahha.

    Or Massie, he's been laying low this whole time. Hopefully he's hiding under a desk somewhere ready to emerge when the circular firing squads have stopped. Gonna have a hell of a mess to clean up though.

    I was too young to vote back then but your TDS will cause you to side with the traitors no matter what your past record is, of that we can be sure.

    President Trump on Thursday escalated his attacks on those involved in launching the federal investigation into his campaign’s contacts with Russia, saying “a number of people” should be tried for treason.
    He also delivered what he thinks should be the verdict: Guilty.
    Among them: former FBI Director James Comey; ex-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe; Peter Strzok, the deputy assistant director of counterintelligence; and Lisa Page, an FBI attorney who was romantically involved with Strzok at the time the probe began in 2016.
    Speaking to reporters at a White House event announcing aid for farmers and ranchers hurt by China’s trade policies in retaliation for American tariffs, Trump was asked which officials he specifically believes are guilty of treason.
    “I think a number of people,” Trump said. “They have unsuccessfully tried to take down the wrong person. If you look at Comey, if you look at McCabe, if you look at probably people higher than that, if you look at Strzok, if you look at his lover, Lisa Page, his wonderful lover.”

    Barr and Rosenstein, two of MAGA's sharpest picks that will pay dividend for quite a while. They might be even better legal eagles than another MAGA champ Dershowitz.
    More evidence that he surrounds himself with the best people.

    PS: Attention should be paid that there is no mixup and he accidentally does not declassify full Mueller Report.

    Yes, let us see it all.
    On Trump:
    How conservative Republicans can continue to support this arrogant imposter—the man who brags about inflicting the world with the Covid mark of the beast; the man who said, “Take the guns first, go through due process second”; and the man who deliberately played and then set up Stewart Rhodes (of course, Stewart was all too eager to be Trump’s patsy) for an 18-year prison sentence—is truly beyond my comprehension.” Chuck Baldwin

    I hope you're correct, but it seems like we've been here so many times before. I'll believe it the day I see them walked out in handcuffs... Eh, who am I kidding? Even then, I'll have doubts about them doing the prison time they deserve.

    This is exactly what all of us were screaming about 15 years ago when all this $#@! came to a head after 9/11, exactly how the surveillance state would be used to influence not just policy but elections and ruin people's lives.

    I have my doubts, but certainly am hoping that something actually comes of this.

    Especially since the reaction of the Bolshevik/Jacobin left to this action, is that of a bag of scorched cats.

    It is this, more than anything else, that allows me to give a pass towards Trump's "Drunken Monkeyism" and flip flops...he continues to enrage and infuriate the right people.

    I think it was the Apache that judged a man's character by the strength and number of his enemies.

    President Trump on Friday said that he wants Attorney General William Barr to investigate the UK, Australia and Ukraine for their roles in the 'greatest hoax in the history of our country.'

    Speaking with reporters at the White House on Friday before his trip to Japan, Trump discussed his decision this week to issue a sweeping declassification order - leaving it in the hands of Barr to determine exactly what happened to Trump and his campaign before and after the 2016 US election.
    "For over a year, people have asked me to declassify. What I've done is declassified everything," said Trump, adding "He can look and I hope he looks at the UK and I hope he looks at Australia and I hope he looks at Ukraine."
    "It's the greatest hoax probably in the history of our country and somebody has to get to the bottom of it. We'll see. For a long period of time, they wanted me to declassify and I did."


    "This is about finding out what happened," said Trump. "What happened and when did it happen, because this was an attempted takedown of the president of the United States, and we have to find out why."
    "We're exposing everything. We're being a word that you like, transparent. We're being, ultimately we're being transparent. That's what it's about. Again, this should never ever happen in our country again."

    Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats issued a warning about national security after President Donald Trump granted Attorney General William Barr broad new powers to declassify intelligence related to the origins of the Russia investigation.
    Coats said in a statement that he is “confident” Barr will follow “standards.” But he also warned that if “highly sensitive classified Information” is released, it “would put our national security at risk.”
    Coats also emphasized that the intelligence community will “continue” to share “apolitical intelligence” with the rest of the government.
    “I am confident that the Attorney General will work with the [intelligence community] in accordance with the long-established standards to protect highly-sensitive classified information that, if publicly released, would put our national security at risk,” Coats said.

    Review time. What documents did Barr release?
    "Foreign aid is taking money from the poor people of a rich country, and giving it to the rich people of a poor country." - Ron Paul
    "Beware the Military-Industrial-Financial-Pharma-Corporate-Internet-Media-Government Complex." - B4L update of General Dwight D. Eisenhower
    "Debt is the drug, Wall St. Banksters are the dealers, and politicians are the addicts." - B4L
    "Totally free immigration? I've never taken that position. I believe in national sovereignty." - Ron Paul
