Trump Orders Declassification of Some FBI Russia Probe Reports

[Mountain Man]

This is a blatant abuse of power, obstruction of justice and interference with an ongoing investigation. Trump knows how to play a crowd though.

Yeah, man, how dare Trump interfere with an investigation by declassifying documents in order to reveal the truth! Who does he think he is, the President of the United States?

[firstfloor]

Why, cause it might make Rachel look bad? (I mean worse) POTUS has the right to declassify documents.

IF Trump has them declassified, and IF they reveal that the Russian investigation was politically motivated, he would be REVEALING a for-really abuse of power.

Why are you afraid of these things being brought to light?

Having the power to do something does not justify the use of that power.

The investigation is in good hands. We should wait patiently until it ends and not try to rush the process. Trump’s comments about it and his interference with it are inexcusable.

Rachel is my god; please be a bit more respectful.

They trust their elected pathological liar and chief when he tells them that it is not he that is corrupt, but that rather it is the democratic institutions like the intelligence community, which like a good autocrat he wants to undermine, that are corrupt.

Rachel is my god; please be a bit more respectful.

They're too busy listening to nutters like Alex Jones to be bothered with real journalism.

I know what you mean but sometimes I suspect that CP is really one of us. It’s like he’s a double agent working behind enemy lines. Let’s not blow his cover.

Dude, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Rachael Madcow is the liberal version of Alex Jones.

Some things Trump doesn't want public:

- His tax returns
- His "charity" foundation's accounts
- His university transcripts
- The White House visitor log
- The Mar-a-Lago visitor log

Some things Trump does want public:

- Very very carefully selected pieces of an FBI document about an ongoing investigation

His commitment to transparency and openness is incredible...

You're right - that should only be reserved for "I have a phone and a pen" autocrats.

Nah. On the other hand, JimL knows full well that Cow Poke does not, in fact, listen to Alex Jones or "nutters like him" (which is nothing more than a lame attempt to smear everyone on the right with the same broad brush).

The really odd thing is that he vomits forth howlers like this, and then complains when we don't take his wholly unsupported references to alleged data at face value.

I never even knew who Alex Jones was until the recent flap.

You've obviously never watched Maddow, MM. You should, you might actually come to realize what a constant fool you make of yourself.

Says the guy who thinks Rachael Madcow is a Real Journalist^TM.

I did, only because a friend of my dad's is an Alex Jones fanboi. I took one look, and that was more than sufficient to keep me away.

So you must also agree that Trump should have the FBI re-open its investigation into Judge Kavanaugh regarding the accussation of rape, right?

You mean, like, the UN-HEAVILY redacted FISA documents that had ALREADY been released (with very carefully selected omissions) and were relying heavily on the notorious bogus Democratic-funded dossier compiled by Christopher Steele, and the texts and emails of important FBI investigators who were obviously prejudiced to the max during the ongoing investigation?

Whatcha 'fraid of, bro?
