That is the better Plan, and it's what DJT needs from us.

Walking and chewing gum at the same time is also a good plan.

Go forth and multiply.

Haha. Oops. I forgot to post the letter. Doh! Here it is.

Go check out the EO. The part about why things CAN'T be classified is really interesting. Something like "not embarrassing people" and similar things.

Stick with the walking until Trump is re-elected.

I think the news twists headlines and most are too lazy to read further than the headline. EyesOfTX actually breaks it down.
I love his blog.

p.s. Please note that, while the Director of the CIA is addressed in the letter, the Director of the NSA is not.

Why do you suppose that is?

No thanks.

I don't take direction well.

I'll do what I do. You do what you do.

Same here, but that didn't stop me from calling Republicans (I'm not a Republican) to get out the mid-term vote. I'll do the same in 2020, hopefully with better results.

Wrong answer.

Because they don't need direction from the President to cooperate with the AG.

Because they have been cooperating and providing intel since even before The Donald made President.

NSA (and Military Intelligence) are the good guys, in case you were unaware, and it seems like you are.

Once again, here on FR, some dork calls someone else “stupid” and doesn’t know how to spell the word “you’re”. So weird how common that is.

Sadly, pretty common. Free Republic has its share of drunken bar flies.

I'd think that the ongoing coup would teach normal folks to keep all branches of government at arms length. Apparently not.

I won’t let Debbie Downers ruin this for me. I’m enjoying the show.

The "nothing's happening" crowd is shrinking as events play out as planned.

I still remain unimpressed until and unless Coup Leaders are hauled away in handcuffs. President Trump announcing what he wants AG Barr to do, instead of as a total surprise releasing the papers only serves to give the Coup Leaders the time and opportunity to find judges who will stop it.

Here's my comments on Mr. Blackmon's comments:

All in all, excellent analysis. However, I disagree with the following statement:

It allows Barr and Durham the discretion to hold back any documents whose public revelation might harm their own inquiry.

If this were a public relations effort to make the democrats look bad, then OK. If this is a criminal investigation, then exculpatory information must also be released.

“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..."

IMHO, this is brilliant. If there are any issues with declassification, then AG Barr is responsible, not POTUS. AG Barr to follow "long-established standards" and addressees to expedite. In event of a tie, AG Barr casts the deciding vote.

I wonder how many times in our history full and complete presidential authority has been delegated? Not many. To me, this shows that President Trump has full faith and trust in AG Barr. I hope this faith and trust continues to be earned.

On a personal note to EyesOfTX...thanks for being a Freeper and posting here at FreeRepublic. I look forward to your daily reports.

Baby...bath water.

There are still patriots in the government, and they support The Donald. In fact, word around the campfire is they got him elected and chose HIM for his particular skill set and characteristics. Those being independent wealth, beholden to none, and willingness to fight. Oh, and the fact that he is a patriot.

No. The NSA and MI are the good guys.

Haha.

I don't use clouds. I use chicken bones.

The Mueller coup didnt start for a few months. And it’s been over for a few months.
