Former President Donald Trump urged the Justice Department Tuesday to release all remaining documents related to the FBI’s investigation into allegations his 2016 campaign colluded with Russian officials, claiming they show “tremendous dishonesty and corruption.”
“They have the declassification order. And they should declassify, absolutely, especially in the light of what has just happened and what has just been revealed,” the 45th president told Fox News, referring to special counsel John Durham’s recent court filing alleging Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign paid a tech company to mine data from servers at the White House and Trump Tower in a bid to tie Trump to a Russian bank.
Trump initially told then-Attorney General Bill Barr to begin declassifying records related to the FBI investigation of his campaign in 2019.
Last year, on his final full day in office, Trump said he had asked the Justice Department to make public to “the maximum extent possible” records related to the probe that the department had presented him as part of a “binder of materials.”
“We did declassify, and people saw them, and I think you’ll see some big stuff,” Trump said Tuesday, adding: “They should release them.”
It is unclear how many records from the original FBI investigation, code-named “Crossfire Hurricane,” remain classified.
Trump spoke out on the same day that two Republican senators urged the DOJ to step up its efforts to release the records in question.

Trump should have done this when in office. But he was under a GOP threat to immediately impeach and remove him if his did this or fired Mueller. Lindsey Graham and Mitch lead that threat and constantly uttered it on Fox.
Other Republican Senators, McCain and Grahamnesty are in this up to their necks.
Well, at least McCain is dead now.
Trump scared of Linda and Mitch? Come on.
Nah. We needed to see how bad these creatures are with trump stepping aside
Stooped sheep
Btw. GOP senators? Really?
No names.
A cybersecurity firm at the center of Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe was paid nearly $20,000 by The Biden campaign.
<><>The Biden campaign paid Neustar Information Services in 2020 for accounting and compliance work, according to Federal Election Commission records.
<><>According to Durham, Neustar’s chief technology officer, Rodney Joffe, accessed sensitive web traffic data that the company maintained on behalf of the White House executive office to collect “derogatory” information about Donald Trump. Joffe allegedly provided the information to Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, who in turn gave it to the CIA during a meeting in February 2017. Durham charged Sussmann in September with lying to the FBI about his investigation of Trump.
That raises the question: was the same action going on against Trump in 2020?
The Biden and Clinton campaigns are the only two presidential committees to have ever paid Neustar, according to Federal Election Commission records.
<><>Biden’s campaign paid Neustar $18,819 on Sept. 29, 2020, the records show.
<><>The Clinton campaign paid the firm $3,000 in May 2015 for mobile phone services.
<><> Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee paid $3,000 to Neustar in 2017.
Neustar executives and staffers contributed $17,906 to Biden’s campaign, FEC records show.
+++!
Grassley and Johnson were named in the NY Post story.
A threat to impeach him? That’s rich, add another unit on the impeachment/coup assembly line. If Trump was stupid enough to accept this ridiculously disastrous line of thought, he deserved no better than he received.

Trump ordered this to be done,
Like the Deep State is suddenly going to roll over.
GOP that conspired with Wray to cover it up when they were in power, now clamor for Merrick Garland to do it?
Right, sure. Bill Barr will get right on it.

Good. Pretty far down.
They’re solid. Johnson cerois.
Lindsey Graham was right there on Fox saying he would support it if he fired Mueller or Sessions. The GOP was the majority in both houses during Mueller.
The GOP is the primary cause of the impeachment and two year long Mueller lie. The Democrats did not have the votes to stop the Republicans from killing it.
This GOP treason is a subset of Mitch and Ryan building the wall at a snails pace, and refusing to repeal Obamacare. You need to face facts.
I think the DC Corporate RINO treachery reached a new low with the Barr total coverup.
The Biden and Clinton campaigns are the only two presidential committees to have ever paid Neustar, according to Federal Election Commission records.
Obviously, Neustar was being paid to spy on President Trump.
