The first includes the national security assessments that the U.S. intelligence community conducted under President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton concerning the Russia nuclear giant Rosatom’s effort to acquire uranium business in the United States.
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) — made up of Secretary Clinton and eight other senior federal officials — approved Rosatom’s purchase of mining company Uranium One’s U.S. assets in fall 2010, even as the FBI was gathering evidence that the Russian company’s American arm was engaged in bribery, kickbacks and extortion.

A second body of documents crying out for declassification is Obama’s private correspondence with Iranian leaders — in particular, the Oct. 7, 2014, cable he penned to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, setting the terms for the controversial Washington-Tehran nuclear deal reached in early 2016.
My sources tell me that letter conflicts with what the Obama administration was telling the American public as it tried to sell the deal politically, and it shows a level of courtship, concession and trust with Tehran that exceeded the U.S. intelligence assessments at the time.
SNIP
The final Obama-era tranche that requires declassification concerns Hillary Clinton’s email controversy — a highly classified set of documents that FBI agents identified as important and necessary in the investigation into whether she violated the law by transmitting classified emails on her unsecured private server.

Solomon is one of the few real reporters still around. I hope the Pres. reads his reports and acts upon this one.
Obama is not a natural born citizen.
Neither was Panamanian born McCain.
That's why Songbird was selected to be obama's opponent. He couldn't raise this issue about him.
The fix was in the moment Claire McCaskill wrote a non-binding resolution declaring him an NBC.

All true and most people are either clueless or in denial.
Traitors . ..unrepentant criminals . So what if they don’t experience Justice . ..so what??,
I stand by my comment ... and I stand by my president.
You people are defeatists. I want to go so far as to say you all make me sick, but I don’t resort to personal attacks on FR. What I will say is that you have let past disappointments embitter you to the point where your sound judgment has been compromised.
You folks don’t know me personally, but I can tell you that I am no kind of cockeyed optimist. These comments are coming from a guy who reported the local news — cleanly and accurately — for the best part of three decades. I may have been only a local reporter but I was still a professional observer of people and events. I’m a realist in recognizing that all I can do is report — I can’t change anything by my little old self.
You people cry and wail because events aren’t unfolding at a pace that’s to your liking. Let me point out two things:
1.) In politics, timing is everything.
2.) No one can predict the future. As a reporter, it didn’t take me long to realize that self-styled seers, soothsayers, and readers of animal entrails only had one basic trick — extrapolating from current trends. They had no ability to foresee where history’s twists and turns were about to take place. That’s because no one can. And it’s the twists and turns that count for everything.
Trump has had a remarkably successful first term so far. He’s beaten back lies, slanders, and hatred faced by no president except Lincoln. Wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall when Trump talks security with his inner staff — how many plots against his life have been foiled that we don’t know about? Maybe none, maybe a lot.
The point is that Trump has better information than we folks down in FReeperland could ever hope to have. He’s the master of misdirection and if he’s silent on a particular issue, it’s stupid to just assume he’s uninformed. More likely, he’s choosing to keep his own counsel. And that’s what a wise leader does — after he gets done firing Tweets to confuse the Left about his real intentions.
So, get a grip on yourselves, soldiers. Things are in a rough spot but we haven’t lost our country yet.
And always remember 1942 — we got our butts kicked in the first half of the year but by the start of 1943, all the seeds were planted for victory in 1945. A 180-degree turnaround in fortunes in just a year. Pretty darn good.
Remember: You don’t have the power to see the twists and forks in the road because that is a power reserved for our Triune God that lives outside of space and time as we understand it. Repeat after me: “Lord, preserve Your American people.”

Until they’re not.
Some people are just too emotional for politics.
You say they’re defeatists. I won’t argue the point.
I think they want immediate action and results once the evidence is revealed for all to clearly see, but government and justice moves slower than snail’s pace.
I thank God for investigative reporters like John Soloman, Sara Carter, Paul Sperry, Heather MacDonald, Andrew McCarthy, Greg Jarrett, etc. and for TV and radio hosts like Rush, Hannity, Laura, Tucker, Mark Levin, Graham Ledger, etc. for reporting facts and truth against the otherwise media cabal that gleefully spreads anti-Trump lies 24/7.
I stand by our President and I trust in the aforementioneds’ reporting. I trust in Attorney General Barr and in those he has appointed to investigate.
You people cry and wail because events aren’t unfolding at a pace that’s to your liking. Let me point out two things:
1.) In politics, timing is everything.
Indeed. Mueller and his angry Democrats had perjury traps, indictments and guilty pleas in months. Where there is a will, there is a way. Sadly, there is no will inside the beltway to criminally prosecute Democrats to the benefit of Donald J. Trump. Sorry.
Did we give up when Germany bombed Pearl Harbor?!?

That, unfortunately, is the straight up truth.
100% of (D) politicians would oppose, exposing those frauds and going after them with the full force of the law. Probably 60 - 70% of the (R)'s would as well.
Read this comment and followed by reading many of your recent comments. So enjoyable. How I hunger for grammar and the who, what, where, when, how in news articles! Thus going back through a poster’s comments is the best free fun online!
Thank you, Author of Post 26. Your assessment and analysis are right on target. What an encouragement. It is unfortunately easy to fall into agreement with all the defeatists, but you brought me right back where I belong. We all need to stay in the front lines alongside our Warrior and Navigator Trump. Count me as a War Baby, no Crybaby! You really need to find a better nametag...you’re no Nothingburger...and that’s a positive, not a double negative.
FRiend Lodi, allow me to caution you against falling into the trap of defeatism that I just argued against.
There are too many things we don’t know just now. RATs may get what they deserve, they may not. We’re not in control, nor can we foresee the twists and forks in the road ahead.
I will venture one very, very modest prognostication, in the form of a question. What would happen if Antifa committed an act of violence so over-the-top that it couldn’t be whitewashed?
Discuss among yourselves.
Thank you FRiend Bravada. As you might guess, my FR name is a self-deprecating joke.
I wrote professionally for nearly 30 years and, as you kindly noted, still have some of the old fire, when I choose to use it.
FRiend Onyx, there was a whole book’s worth of wisdom in just your first sentence. Although I did read your entire post.
Meanwhile , Lois Lerner still walks around free as a bird.
