Self-Preservation Is The Only Reason Democrats Could Object To Declassifying Spygate Docs
The Federalist ^ | May 28, 2019 | Elad Hakim

On Thursday, President Trump gave Attorney General William Barr the authority to declassify any documents related to surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016. Immediately some congressional Democrats blasted Trump’s decision and began to politicize the move.

It is difficult to comprehend why any member of Congress would object to the president’s decision to disclose the truth behind one of the biggest scandals in U.S. history. To the contrary, all members should welcome this information with open arms and should refrain from politicizing the president’s decision.

Shortly after Trump authorized Barr to declassify the documents, California Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff criticized the move. According to The Daily Caller, Schiff stated, “While Trump stonewalls the public from learning the truth about his obstruction of justice, Trump and Barr conspire to weaponize law enforcement and classified information against their political enemies. The coverup has entered a new and dangerous phase. This is un-American.”

There is nothing “un-American” about exposing a coup to remove a duly elected president from office.

There is nothing “un-American” about exposing the people who illegally spied on the Trump campaign and then lied about it.

It would be un-American to cover up this illegal activity and lie to the American people about it.

I truly don’t understand the issue here. For a political party openly subverting country sovereignty and legal system, what’s big deal of declassifying some investigative records of which only legal experts can comprehend its implications ?

Trump hate exceeds any desire for truth, justice or patriotism.

That’s because it’s not a media.

It’s a Democrat propaganda organ, and willingly so.

Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind” comes to mind. The perfect Democrat “IF” anthem ever written.

The truth must be revealed.

They need to be exposed, so people can see.

Declassifying is a cover-up? Only a demo could come to that logic.
