Funny how all of a sudden it’s really starting to suck being a Democrat.

“For purposes of political gain”

What a steaming pantload. It’s for purposes of exposing deep state corruption and the coup d’etat attempt by DOZENS of the enemies of freedom.

Why would he gain politically from classified information, unless it reveals very improper behavior by Democrats?

Trump has declassified the documents and there is not a damn thing the Democrats can do about it.

"If you get me one more glass of wine, I’ll tell you stuff only Bob Mueller and I know. If you think you’ve seen wild stuff so far, buckle up. It’s going to be a wild couple of months." --- Mark Warner

And since Christopher Steele is refusing to meet with DOJ, perhaps Mark Warner can get in touch with him like he did in 2017.

What bullshit. The PRESIDENT has the absolute authority to declassify anything he wants.

"for purposes of political gain."

What does he think Obama did for 8 years straight? It's a privilege that comes with winning. Eat it.
