The directive for the Justice Department to lift a "gag order" on a former FBI informant involved in a high-profile Russia bribery case came from President Trump himself, a source told Fox News.
On Wednesday night, the DOJ announced it had cleared the individual to speak to Congress about Moscows Obama-era uranium deals in the U.S. market and other schemes.
A source said the order to release the confidential informant came directly from Trump -- though who actually made the final call is unclear. One well-placed source familiar with the decision-making process pushed back, saying the decision was made entirely by senior officials inside the DOJ.

Good news. But if he can order that, why can’t he order an investigation of Hillary (or 0bama)?

My guess would be timing. Go in too soon and they walk.

The big question:
Will he live long enough to testify against the clintons?

If true. Good for Trump.
Sessions is too busy with gangs and DARE.

Perhaps lifting the gag order on the informant is step # 1.

Will he live long enough to testify against the clintons? This was my first thought/concern as well. I thought he would have "committed suicide" or "died suddenly of natural causes" by now. I hope he is safe and secure and not in DC, Chicago, Detroit or New York.

“The directive for the Justice Department to lift a “gag order” on a former FBI informant involved in a high-profile Russia bribery case came from President Trump himself”
That is why I voted for this guy, and continue to admire and back him - he knows what has to be done to accomplish his goals, and he just goes and does it without any wasteful delays. Typical of a hard-nosed real estate investor, who understands that “git’er done!” are words to live by.
MAGA, one step at a time.
BTW, Donald Trump lied - I am NOT tired of winning, and I’m unlikely to EVER be tired of winning. But I’m up for a test of that proposition - keep trying to make me tired!

So he coudn’t count on his Alabamian Cadaver, Jeff Sessions, to quit playing with himself long enough to make the necessary arrangements?

Now that the gag is lifted, WHEN WILL MYSTERY MAN TALK?Clintons are plotting his Arkancide as we wait. This afternoon would be a good choice, the morning is gone.

He Can.
And he can fire anyone who fails to carry out the order.
