Showdown? In letter, Pelosi/Schumer/Schiff/Warner order intel agencies to ignore presidential order on declassification until consulting with Congres

[Lagmeister]

In this case I think Trump will ignore a court order and order the documents declassified. The committee would back him up immediately and Trump would proceed to fire anyone who resisted. I think we have come that far.

[a fool in paradise]

first goal will be to look at those black sheets that were so heavily redacted and see just how hush hush it all was.

[MtnClimber]

Wow, seems all that did this should be arrested ant tried for sedition/treason.

[sarge83]

It will get interesting if Rosenstien, or other Deep State creatures ignore the president and Trump fires them especially Rosenstien. The RATS and media will go insane with the Saturday Night Massacre theme.

Article. II. Section. 1. The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

---

President of the United States Donald Trump wins. The minority leaders of Congress lose. President Trump should tweet out the now declassified documents.

[TLI]

Too bad chucky, not your lucky day.

Actually, it never was...

” It appears to be true that the President has the legal authority to declassify classified materials however he chooses. This conclusion is supported by dicta in Department of Navy v. Egan, 484 US 518 (1988), and it is consistent with the historical fact that classification and declassification decisions have been made by the President. (On the relevance of historical facts, see Justice Frankfurter’s separate opinion in The Steel Seizure Case.) To be sure, Congress might have the power to limit the President’s power to classify and declassify (though the President is likely to resist any such limitation on constitutional grounds) — but no such limitation appears to be in place.”

If they refuse fire the lot of them and replace , repeat if necessary

Paranoia strikes the Demonrats, look at them squealing!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Since Watergate, when did the Democrats ever resist releasing government documents? Pentagon papers, Edward Snowden, and Bradley "Trans" Manning leaks for instance.

Here is a list from Wikipedia. How many of these did the Democrats grouse about, even when it jeopordized national security?

• Pentagon Papers: Top secret documents of the United States Department of Defense regarding its involvement in the Vietnam War.
• Afghan War documents leak: Disclosure of a collection of internal U.S. military logs of the War in Afghanistan.
• Iraq War documents leak: A WikiLeaks disclosure of a collection of 391,832 United States Army field reports.
• United States diplomatic cables leak: A WikiLeaks disclosure of classified cables that had been sent to the U.S. State Department by 274 of its consulates, embassies, and diplomatic missions around the world.
• Guantanamo Bay files leak: Classified assessments, interviews, and internal memos about detainees, which were written by the Pentagon's Joint Task Force Guantanamo.
• CIA interrogation tapes: Videotapes made by CIA during interrogations of Al-Qaeda suspects.

Exactly, how arrogant of them (but what’s new?)

The American People order that Pelosi/Schumer/Schiff/Warner/Feinstein resign from Congress.

[Boardwalk]

Bring on the moment of truth! Go Trump!

[mabarker1]

Stop wasting time.

THROW them IN JAIL FOR OBSTRUCTION of COMMON SENSE.

AND SEW their LIPS SHUT !

I'm tired of hearing about them and the PHYSCOTIC BABBLE.

[Sasparilla]

Democrat panic is at Warp 13. Engage.

[JoSixChip]

It is pretty glaring that there are no republican signatories on this document. I do think that voids it.

[Rashputin]

Order?

They're assuming the role of the Executive branch. They have no authority over whether or not the President declassifies anything. Funny how they shrug off Congress ordering the same agencies ignore an order from the Senate to produce documents the Senate wants to see but now expect obedience.

Scum bucket Schumer told Trump the Intelligence agencies had six ways from Sunday to screw him. It looks like he knew because he was in on their activities which is exactly why he doesn't want things declassified. Full declassification will show that some people in Congress were kept informed of how the coup plotting was coming along. Schumer probably among them.

Too bad Dems, but elections have consequences. Eat your peas.

In letter, Pelosi/Schumer/Schiff/Warner order intel agencies to ignore presidential order

Exactly what authority do they have to do such a thing?

[BeauBo]

"Congress has formerly requested the documents"

[windsorknot]

Ignore Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, and Warner.
