President Trump took aim at Democrats seeking the release of Robert Mueller's full report on his years-long investigation of the Trump campaign and Russia on Friday, accusing them of inventing a cover-up.

Quoting an editorial published Wednesday in The Wall Street Journal, Trump insinuated that Democrats had shifted their focus to proving that Attorney General William Barr was covering up the results of Mueller's investigation after having "lost" on the issue of collusion.

They invented crimes to investigate and now they’re inventing the coverup of the crimes they invented.

Then let us see the FISA docs he promised to release over seven months ago. We want to know what went on.

Yeah. I have to say my patience wears thin.

I expect the legal proceedings to take a long time. They need to start. This cannot be done as an October Surprise in October 2020.That will be too late.

Let's declass the FISA and related docs. Let's show as much of the Mueller Report as we possibly can. Let's arrest some Democrats. Let's start some trials.

Promises were made. I know it's not easy and needs to be done slowly and carefully. But I sure would like to see something.

The FISA report is an insurance policy.

While it may, if released, cause major problems for Democrats and Democratic operatives, once it's released it loses power.

Unreleased it's a Sword of Damocles hanging over the head of Democrats.

For the time being it's best to keep the cards close to the chest.

Imagine the impact the release would have say, in the fall of 2020.

When you control the virtual reality of MSM-Democrat media land, you can invent all kinds of things.

I want to see those 60,000 +++ sealed indictments raining down.

AFTER Trump puts every single person named in those indictments on the NO FLY LIST & revokes their passports.

It all inevitably leads back to Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009.

Neither party wants the truth that they cooperated to violate the Constitution getting out.

That’s why Flimsey Grahamnesty was so adamant that Mueller be allowed to finish his “work”.

His “work” was destroying evidence.

If there is one redacted line on the Report it will be PROOF of COVERUP and calls for impeachment will spread loudly from the Waters fringe back to the Pelosi mainstream. If they’re gonna do it I wish they would do it right now.

The longer this plays out the more rope Trump gives them to hang themselves.

Let Brennan, Clapper, and Comey (and others) to continue making statements to the media. Every statement is a potential nail in their coffin.

The longer they're allowed to comment in public the more likely they are to trip up.

Trump is right to withhold the FISA report and hold it over the heads of Democratic operatives.

Release it too soon before it's needed and Democrats have time to counter and recover with a concocted narrative.

Right now it's best to wait.

Even now Brennan, Comey, and Clapper are saying less and are more careful in what they say.

Not releasing the FISA report immediately will keep B C and C in line.

When the time is right it can be released for maximum impact.

Our side talks too much. The Socialists and #NeverTrumps need to be punched so hard they don’t know what hit them.

Uh no. The longer it plays out the less likely he can hold them accountable before he leaves office., How much more evidence would be enough?

The time has been right for over a year. Loan me your cuffs and let’s do the perp walk. CNN and swat at 6 AM

Remember the company of military police who were sent to Gitmo last December? Were they sent to remodel and tidy up?

A Democrat is a person who can be outraged over what an opponent who: has been alleged to have done by other Democrats; has been alleged to have covered up what was only alleged to have been done in the first place; has ever accused an important Democrat of doing wrong; has ever presented evidence of an important Democrat of wrong doing; has ever reminded Democrats of Democrats doing wrong ... and so forth.

No amount of evidence will ever be enough for the Left to care what the Democrats have done and no lack of evidence will ever matter for their assuaging their outrage at what Republicans have been reputed to have done.

We are the Emmanuel Goldsteins they scream and holler at every day.

“However, the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution (Article 6, Paragraph 2) states that the Constitution trumps all. In other words, where there is a conflict between the Supreme Court and Congress, the SC wins.”

Do you notice the not so subtle substitution in this?

The Court isn’t the Constitution. It actually doesn’t trump the Congress.

In Marbury, Chief Justice Marshall wrote that it was worse than a solemn mockery to require them to take an oath of office to uphold the Constitution but then make them turn a blind eye to the Constitution and see only statute.

Well, what is it to require others to take such and oath and then make them close their eyes to the Constitution and see only the opinions of the Court?

No article in the Constitution actually grants the Court this power and it does not lawfully have final say.
