Dems attack in nips and bites from every side, like African Wild Dogs.
anything but the real story of the moment:

19 Sept: Investors Business Daily Editorial: Yes, The Deep State Is Real — And Working To Undermine Our Nation
Indeed, not only does the Deep State exist, it’s far more dangerous to Americans’ liberties than first thought...
Given their routine and incredibly casual treatment of past actual secrets, it’s hard to take the Democrats seriously at all when they express concern about classified information being made public.
Sabotaging Trump
No, what they’re really worried about is that Nunes is right. There are highly questionable connections between officials in the Justice Department, FBI, CIA and Hillary Clinton campaign. They suggest that U.S. officials actively used their offices and taxpayer funds to sabotage Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. If so, it’s a criminal conspiracy. People should go to prison.
Yet, shockingly, while Trump ordered the “immediate declassification” of the materials, the Deep State has other ideas. Justice, the FBI and the National Intelligence director’s office are slow-walking the release. They plan to redact the documents, despite Trump’s lawful order.
That’s the Deep State in action...
Trump called the whole Russia investigation a “hoax” and said exposing it would be one of his “crowning achievements” as president. But it won’t be enough merely to expose it. Once exposed, we should punish those who participated in the collusion conspiracy as far as the law will allow. After all, it’s your democracy they’re destroying.

19 Sept: WCBE/NPR: Justice, Spy World Veterans Warn Of Consequences If Trump Releases Secret Docs
By Carrie Johnson
Trump has ordered the release of communications involving people on his enemies list and sections of an application under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act — something that has never happened before.
“The release of FISAs like this is off the charts,” former Assistant Attorney General for National Security David Kris wrote about the secret orders.
“It is especially unprecedented considering that the FISAs have already gone through declassification review and the president is overruling the judgments of his subordinates to require expanded disclosure.”...
(excerpts)
ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: How unusual is it for these kinds of materials to be declassified in full by a president like this?
CARRIE JOHNSON: It is very unusual, some people say unprecedented...
DAVID LAUFMAN: For decades, the Justice Department has litigated aggressively and successfully in national security cases to prevent the disclosure of FISA applications. This happens routinely in prosecutions of terrorism, espionage and a host of other national security-related cases.
CARRIE JOHNSON: Now David Laufman says the president’s directive could put that winning record in jeopardy if a judge decides he or she doesn’t buy the government’s need for secrecy in a bunch of important national security, terrorism and spy cases...
