FULL TITLE: Gohmert: Dems Fighting Declassification to Protect the Guilty; Rosenstein Has Strong Motive to Suppress
The reason Democrats and the Justice Department (DOJ) are resisting President Donald Trumps order to declassify certain Russia investigation documents is that they want to protect the guilty, Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Texas) said Tuesday.
The reason for the delay has been to protect the guilty, Gohmert told Fox Business Host Lou Dobbs. The names are being redacted, things are being redacted to protect the guilty. So, thats the reason that theyre being redacted. Thats the reason theyre being slow to uncover these things.
History shows previous declassifications opposed by Democrats, ultimately exposed, wrongdoing, Rep. Gohmert noted:
Every time we have seen something be unredacted it wasnt about sources and methods, we want to protect those but, every time, it has been self-serving to protect the people who have been violating federal regulations, violating protocol of the Justice Department or violating the law.
And, so, its kind of calling wolf one too many times to be saying, Gee, this is terrible. No, its transparency, and the American people need to see just how bad the DOJ was weaponized and was utilized.
Rosenstein has a strong motive for keeping the American public from finding out whats in these documents, due to his involvement in the original Russia investigation and the deal that provided $145 million to the Clinton Foundation, Rep. Gohmert said:

Gohmert is right on target.
Either release all of the ordered documents, unredacted, or be fired, and prosecuted. If the next level refuses, fire them all and move to prosecute.
They either faithfully serve their overall boss, the President, and the citizens or they’ve broken their oaths of office.
No mercy, no deals. ENOUGH!
Hey..listen........... I thought I heard Jeff Sessions say something.... I guess not.. :(
Donald!Show us you have balls and do it YOURSELF!
Dan Bongino explained this thoroughly on the Mark Levin show 09-17-18. He has a book documenting it. Rosenstein is in hot water.
The President has issued the order. Release them in full or be removed and possibly charged.
They are going to stonewall as long as possible.
Everything leads back to Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009.
Have to agree the left cannot be permitted to make excuses for denying presidential directives.
It’s also my sense that with the Kavenaugh outrage and deep state defying the president, the electorate will shift more pro Trump.
Jeff Sessions was deballed by Rosenstein and Mulleur. I heard it was a small task that took no time at all. Jeff sharped the scalpel for them.
If you wonder if the media is in bed with the Dems, ask yourself:
When have you ever heard of any media source to be critical of any government declassification?
Nearly every media outlet has lawyers on retainer that do nothing but sue and submit FOIA apps to declassify government records.
Why else would the media push for government secrecy, except to protect their leaking sources?
redacting something under false pretenses should be against the law. It should be at least, resisting a court order.
Obama, Comey, Brennan, and the rest, gambled and lost. They did some pretty shady things thinking Hillary was going to win. They are now going to get outed. Trump is making sure it is going to be in such a manner and public display that the slimy cohorts will never be allowed within five miles of government ever again.
Another frickin' Third World legacy of the lawless tinpot Halfrican who creeped into our govt under false pretenses.
Yep.

Preach it Louie!
“If you wonder if the media is in bed with the Dems...”
Who the hell would wonder about that?
Declassifying documents while protecting sources and methods isn’t rocket science. The action should be taken away from DOJ/FBI, et al, however.
Have all the documents turned over to GEN Kelley immediately. Then he can find some Lt Col in the pentagon to clear them.
Refusal to comply is insubordination which is an immediate firing offense in federal service
Simpler to shine the Light of the Sun on the morass, and let the slugs shrivel ...
Wanna bet that FAR MORE poisonous LEFTIST slugs will be shriveled ???
