President Trump on Wednesday threatened to declassify documents related to the Russia investigation that he claimed would be damaging to Democrats if they decide to investigate him when they take control of the House next year.
Trump's comments, made in an interview with The New York Post, come two months after he walked back his original plans to declassify and publicly release the documents as a result of concerns from U.S. allies and his own Justice Department.
If they want to play tough, I will do it, Trump told the Post. They will see how devastating those pages are.
He suggested that the documents would serve as a counter punch to Democrats if they choose to investigate him.
If they want to go and harass the president and the administration, I think that would [be] the best thing that could happen to me because Im a counter puncher and I will hit them so hard, theyve never been hit like that, he said. You know what? I think that will help my campaign. That will be the beginning of my campaign as president.
The White House announced in September that Trump had ordered the declassification of the documents, which include surveillance warrant applications on former campaign adviser Carter Page and text messages related to the Russia investigation from former FBI Director James Comey and other officials.

That’s not what the looks on the announcers’ faces at CNN and MSNPC are saying. They look wretched, tired, afraid, and defeated.
anti-Trumper = "enumerated doesn't agree", I guess.
“Quit bellyaching. Trump has already gotten Schumer to concede on funding, and he’s holding firm for the $5 billion. “
Lol...schumer is not in control of anything last time I checked. It’s the rinos and neverTrumpers who are refusing to fund the wall. 5 billion out of 6 trillion? Shirely, you jest. We pay more than that per day on interest on the debt. Or close to it.
The one job the fed govt should be doing[protecting us from foreign invasion], they aren’t.

I’m afraid credibility is becoming a problem now.
Roberts looked at Valdo with disgust and said, Do you always engage in conversations with your victims before you kill them?
Do you have a problem with my work methods?
Roberts paused before saying, No. You got the job done.
Because we can discuss it if you like.
We should see them because its our responsibility to see them. The people need to know what is going on in the government. Its our government.
If wrong doing occurred, where are the indictments?
“Donalds new motto is Never do, just threaten.”
You mean like “The caravan will be stopped at the border and WILL NOT” be allowed to invade the United States”
Or “I’ll close the border (which he did) If needed”.
You miss the point, entirely. The 2 things that need to be done in order to save the patient called America:
DRAIN THE FARGING SWAMP(restore the rule of law, hundreds to the gallows, thousands in prison for life and every hillary voting apparatchik in the executive branch fired, unions banned)
BUILD THE FARGING WALL(end birthright citizenship, end chainmigration, build the wall, and deport 50 million illegal aliens and their demoncrat voting anchor baby demon spawn)
All the rest of the bullsh!t is just rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic. The left are on the cusp of never having to worry about the rule of law or elections EVER AGAIN. Get it?
While I can appreciate using the declassification as leverage, want to see indictments and sentencing regardless.
Fraid so. The FISA docs must not have anything that helps or they would have been released. I don't think it matters anymore anyway. Either the crazies outnumber us now or the Dems have perfected vote fraud to a point we can't stop it.
“They look wretched, tired, afraid, and defeated.”
That’s cuz most of them have advanced, untreated throat gonorrhea
Why give up the winning chip?
JUST a thought, and I have many wrong ones :)
Is it keeping some or more than some folks at bay who mean to do him ill, just the threat of releasing it?
Like I said, just a guess, and I could be very wrong.
BLA-BLA-BLA, he is good at that .
Just do it and you can tweet about it afterward
Mr Trump, never threaten. JUST DO IT!
Let the impact of the truth and the revelation of the names of those who planned the coup build to a crescendo of revolt.
Again?
Cmon man. Release the docs already!
PDJT has been threatening and promising to release Russia docs, declassify FISA docs, declassify and release the JFK assassination info, etc. Do it and quit pussy- footing around already.
With the House, we were supposed to get the list of legislators, what bimbos they’re paying off with our tax money, and the amounts. We haven’t seen THAT yet.
Nah, I did one better. I got a Real Doll made like Sessions to keep me warm at night. :-)
I hope Trump exposes everyone behind the Obama false documents.Im sure hed love to do it
