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...

Mi>the common meme emerging - declassification is a “cover-up”:

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.

Honestly, is the America of socialists like Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, the America of those who support infanticide (like the New York State legislature, radical feminists, and much of the American entertainment industry), the America of ‘intelligence’ agencies that spy on and entrap innocent private citizens, the America of Deep State coup attempts, etc., worth defending with the lives of our children serving in our military?

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.
