Democrats Make Last-ditch Effort To Block Trump Declassification
dailycaller.com ^ | 09/18/2018

Posted on 09/18/2018 8:29:00 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Leading congressional Democrats are looking to stall the process to release documents related to the Russia investigation, which President Donald Trump ordered declassified on Monday.

Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff and Sens. Chuck Schumer and Mark Warner, sent a letter Tuesday asking Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats to provide an “immediate briefing” to the Gang of Eight before declassifying and releasing the documents.

The four Democrats expressed “profound alarm” at Trump’s order to declassify the records.

Trump ordered the Justice Department and Office of the Director of National Intelligence to begin the process to declassify 21 pages from a June 2017 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) application taken out against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

It is my opinion that the “anonymous” Op Ed from last week, was penned by Dan Coats.

><

I think you may be right on the button. I saw him make a snide remark about the President to a liberal reporter in Aspen during a gathering at a liberal think tank. He’s a snake like Brennan or any of the rest of them.

Amend the order to have them bring the documents to the White House by the end of business on Friday, and fire the officials if they decide not to comply.

WOW, I’m so glad you agree.

Can’t we do something about it?

They have no standing in these issues.

Good grief! They have no shame. Just scurrying around, willy-nilly, and bouncing off the walls. Embarrassing.

They can’t count. They are a Gang of Four with no authority at all.

at 1min24secs Tucker asks Dobbs has he ever seen reporters less interested in knowing what happened than right now? Dobbs gives a great response.

To quote a guy I know, these people are so stupid!

Did they miss the first day of class when the organization charts were handed out?

I don’t know what we could do. I’m sure the President is doing what he can.

Did you see the YouTube of Coats I sent you?

“The four Democrats expressed “profound alarm” at Trump’s order to declassify the records.”

I’m sure they are indeed profoundly alarmed!

When you pray, “Deliver us from evil,” you are asking for God to shield us from those who are evil.

I bet those dems know damn well there's something in those documents, or at least are afraid there's something in the documents, that makes it obvious they and a few other Congress Critters were kept informed about what the crooked coup folks within the FBI/CIA operation were doing.

At the very least, Obama and Hillary were probably kept informed and that's could well be mentioned in some of the redacted portions.

They were in on it and don't want that made public is my guess.

Donaldus Maximus, I love it.

Ronaldus Magnus was almost a perfect president, except for the amnesty thing. One of his kids turned into a terrible traitor, as well. 99%

Trump is almost the perfect president, except for a seeming ignorance of the danger of the homo rights agenda. 99%

I can’t decide which one I love more. So grateful for both.

Well, Trump gave me Pence. So Trump has the edge.

Remarkably, they didn't think any procedures were necessary to release classified information during the Kavanaugh hearings.

Yes, poor Reagan was sidled with that Bushwhacker. I’m sure they told him it was the only way to win.
