President Trump Tuesday night went scorched earth and authorized the total declassification of all documents related to the Russia hoax, Spygate and Hillary Clinton’s email scandal.
“No redactions!” Trump said.
“I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents pertaining to the single greatest political CRIME in American History, the Russia Hoax. Likewise, the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal. No redactions!” Trump tweeted.

Trump’s tweet comes after DNI John Ratcliffe declassified and released documents on Tuesday revealing former CIA Director John Brennan briefed Barack Obama on Hillary Clinton’s plot to ‘stir up’ a scandal to tie Trump to Russia in order to distract from her email scandal ahead of the 2016 election.
This declassification comes after Ratcliffe released a Russian intel assessment in which he asserted that Hillary Clinton hatched the Russia hoax in order to pin the DNC ‘hacking’ on President Trump.
“In late July 2016, US intelligence agencies obtained insight into Russian intelligence analysis alleging that US Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal against US Presidential candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the DNC. The IC does not know the accuracy of this allegation of the extent to which the Russian intelligence analysis may reflect exaggerations or fabrication,” Ratcliffe wrote to Lindsey Graham.
The Obama-Biden White House was briefed on it by then-CIA Director John Brennan.
Brennan’s handwritten notes were exclusively obtained by Fox News:
“We’re getting additional insight into Russian activities from [REDACTED],” Brennan notes read. “CITE [summarizing] alleged approved by Hillary Clinton a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisers to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service,” Brennan’s notes read.
The memos, notes and documents released by Ratcliffe however are heavily redacted.
(Huge grain of salt...)

“I asked you for some examples of where Trump had done”
Trump fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates for insubordination ...
Until then ... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........
Yes, but that was four years ago. And that was an appointed position, however you claimed he can fire anyone in the executive branch, which I still don't believe as exactly accurate.
I'm not criticizing Trump, just pointing out it's not easy or necessarily his fault.
You clearly do not know me. If you did you not have made such a fool out of yourself.
I suggest you sober up and then apologize. Or you can stay drunk and continue to wallow in and spew more jackassery.
The choice is yours.
Will Wray and Haspel follow his orders??? Bet no.
The Senate is in recess until the 12th.
“He’s developing evidence to prosecute in court.”
Barr is sitting on tons of evidence located in DOJ files. He doesn’t need to develop anything.
No Federal judge can touch this. There is no document for him to rule on until it comes out, then it is too late.
I don’t drink alcohol or the Kool Ade of Trump haters.
But, good diversion.
I hope no one forgets, McNuts had a lot to do with all that happened!

You asked: Is “authorizes” the same as “orders”?
That is a good question. It can be if the underlings follow his intent. I can see the new National Security Advisor or Ric Grenell doing it, but the lady head of CIA, declining because she hasn’t been directly ordered to do it. We’ll have to see how the authorization/order is actually written.
Yes.
As I said to Right_in_Virginia, when he asked: Is “authorizes” the same as “orders”?

Actually, after listening to and reading several different conservative experts this morning......I have come to the realization that you are correct. President Trump can’t win in November. Not one single “expert” had any doubt whatsoever that he will lose. Senate will also be lost. Of all these “in the know” crowd, my own Senator Cruz was the most sure of a loss. Followed closely by Tucker.
So, mea culpa, and apologies for doubting you.
Oh! And the debate tonight will be a disaster for Pence.
You do know that the President has no authority to lock anyone up! That is up to the DOJ. Trump is showing he is tired of the DOJ dragging their feet.
He was probably asked to do so so they can be released.
These complainers are always whining about something!
