I suggest listening as I don’t want to misquote. It’s at the beginning of the youtube link.
And here’s the dailymail:
Good nite FR
Libtards already screeching about how the President has no right to use our “intelligence” agencies to punish his political enemies.
They have no sense of irony.
BBC posted this 18 minutes ago. the common meme emerging - declassification is a “cover-up”:
24 May: BBC: Trump orders new powers for Attorney General’s surveillance probe
18 minutes ago
Mr Barr is already subject to intense scrutiny and criticism by Democrats - who have accused him of acting on the president’s behalf and not in the national interest...
The president has repeatedly suggested his campaign was spied on and accused intelligence agencies of abusing their power.
He has also said this could amount to “treason” and has suggested those involved should be criminally prosecuted...
In April, the attorney general told Congress that “spying did occur” on the Trump campaign, and said he wanted to ensure that any intelligence gathering had been legitimate...
The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee is among those who have criticised the expanded power announcement.
“Trump and Barr conspire to weaponise law enforcement and classified information against their political enemies,” Adam Schiff said on Twitter.
“The cover-up has entered a new and dangerous phase. This is un-American,” he added...

24 May: The Atlantic: Trump’s Cover-Up Accelerates
The president directs his attorney general to declassify information—raising the prospect of selective disclosures

Where’s the cover-up? This is the cover-up, as the White House and the office of the attorney general collude to conceal what the public deserves to know

bury the FakeNewsMSM.
That talking point was issued almost immediately. The MSM, Congress critters, etc. are all using it. The Deep State is alert and responding very quickly to this.
Things might get interesting.
Ya think?
Yes it is. That is, in the minds of the loony left and the low information people that are challenged by words with too many syllables.
FAX machines were humming at the Drive-By media outlets.
Why should one more young person die in the ‘service’ of a nation that no longer defends the innocent? Why should anyone die in the service of a nation whose ‘leaders’ and government employees (e.g. Stzrok and too many others) look down with derision on its citizens?
It hasn't even been 18 years since nearly 3000 people, just going about their daily lives, were killed by Islamic terrorists. Since then, many more Americans have died in military conflicts that were a consequence of that attack, and many more have been horribly injured. Nonetheless, we now have Muslims like Omar in our own Congress lecturing Americans on religious tolerance, and publicly stating that large swaths of Americans (specifically those who don't vote for her party) are ignorant.
The above is not melodrama. If anything, it's an understatement.
Once the information is declassified and reaches the public, those facing prosecution will adopt a new line of defense. They will claim that by releasing this information, and by the President’s statement of wanting all Americans to know what happened, the President has tainted the possible jury pool so that the plotters will be deprived of the presumption of innocence and a fair trial. The irony here is that these two cherished Constitutional rights were stripped from Justice Kavanaugh, and from those in our military accused of “war crimes.”
Great meme
