Justice Department officials appear to be maneuvering to block the disclosure of documents from the so-called "Russiagate" controversy, according to a top Pentagon official from the Trump administration.
Kash Patel appeared on Fox News on Sunday and defended former President Donald Trump's claims that he issued sweeping declassification orders of documents after the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago resort and seized more than a dozen boxes of materials in an investigation that could have national security implications.

Patel, who was chief of staff to acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and held other high-ranking positions in the Trump administration, said Trump named him his representative to the National Archives, and they have been locked in a "bureaucratic battle" over documents that were taken to his Florida club.
Because there appears to be an "ongoing" counterintelligence investigation, he argued, "you will never be allowed to see the Russiagate docs or any other docs that President Trump lawfully declassified, and they will hide it from the public," Patel told Sunday Morning Futures host Maria Bartiromo. Patel was being interviewed along with Devin Nunes, a former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee who is now the CEO of Trump's social media company.

But they also would like to confiscate and hide, by claiming it's evidence in a "criminal investigation," any Russiagate material Trump has.

The fell powers of national government turned into a partisan strike force for use against opposing parties and the American people.
That must be the “democracy” we are told is in jeopardy.
It’s starting to unravel, folksy.
We now know what side Bull Durham is on.
Why in the world would they do that? Wouldn't Trump be the one trying to block disclosure of "Russiagate" documents?
It is difficult to believe that after declassifying these docs, that President Trump didn’t make copies and distribute them to friendly journalists and family members. He is too smart not to have done that.
Seriously?
Well, assuming the accusations made against PDJT during the Russiagate media hype-fest were true.
The only thing it could possibly mean if the DOJ is trying to block Russiagate records from release is that the whole thing was BS, coordinated between the campaign of PDJT's opponent and the DOJ, which controls the FBI. Surely they don't want us to think that, do they?
The regime could challenge copies of official documents. Courts might reject copies.
Are you really that ignorant?
Illogical cray cray sh!t there....
Here's your sign.
No reason why there can’t be copies of declassified docs.
They may not care what we think. I doubt that Biden won the 2020 election but they have convinced half of the country that he hid.
Indeed few circumstances necessitate the tag.
I refuse to use it. If people don't get it, that's on them. I don't care.
Maybe they have, maybe they haven't. Judging from Brandon's poll numbers, I don't think it matters too much. So half the country thinks he won. The guy who "lost" is currently leading the guy who "won" in the opinion polls.
