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.
honk
Yeah, get back to me when such an EO is written. I reviewed all his EOs and not one addresses declassification, even though one of the tweets indicate it was authorized two years ago. He may wish declas and release of the documents, but it hasn't happened and probably won't happen unless it's a directed action by a formal message, not necessarily an EO. For example, if authorization is granted to me, it's still up to my judgement to exercise it...I'm not required to exercise it unless it's dictated to exercise it. Grenell would probably act with authorization while Haspel wouldn't unless directed to do so.
“Yeah, get back to me when such an EO is written.”
if there’s no new EO to implement the tweet, then the tweet is just bullshit ...
Post your jackassery to someone else.
