President Donald Trump tweeted Saturday that he intends to “declassify everything,” over his own apparent concern that the Department of Justice and Attorney General William Barr withheld information about an ongoing DOJ investigation into Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son.
Hunter Biden acknowledged that he is under investigation over questions about his tax returns and possible unreported income from Ukrainian oil and gas firm, Burisma.
As The Daily Wire noted late last week, further information seems to have emerged creating questions about Hunter Biden’s foreign dealings, including a possible entanglement in China.
“In addition to Delaware, the securities fraud unit in the Southern District of New York also scrutinized Hunter Biden’s finances, according to the person with direct knowledge of the investigation,” Politico reported. “The person said that, as of early last year, investigators in Delaware and Washington were also probing potential money laundering and Hunter Biden’s foreign ties.”
On Friday, The Wall Street Journal reported, tensions bubbled over in the White House, following news that Trump’s AG William Barr knew of the investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings before the presidential election but did not make it public — a decision, the president felt, cost him support and may have cost him the election.
“Mr. Trump, in a meeting Friday, fumed about a Wall Street Journal report that Mr. Barr knew of an existing federal investigation into Hunter Biden before the election but worked to keep it from being publicly disclosed, a person familiar with the conversation said.
In the meeting, Mr. Trump contemplated firing Mr. Barr, people familiar with the conversation said, adding that it is not clear whether Mr. Trump intends to follow through,” WSJ noted.
Saturday night, the president suggested that he may seek retribution against Hunter Biden — and possibly Barr — in a tweet-storm where he pledged to “declassify everything.”
“I have been doing this. I agree!” the president tweeted in response to a post from conservative analyst Todd Starnes, suggesting that, “At this point @realDonaldTrump should declassify everything. Everything.”
“IF Biden gets in, nothing will happen to Hunter or Joe,” Trump fumed. “Barr will do nothing, and the new group of partisan killers coming in will quickly kill it all.”
“Same thing with Durham. We caught them cold, spying, treason & more (the hard part), but ‘Justice’ took too long. Will be DOA!” he said, referring to concerns that U.S. Atty John Durham will not be able to conclude his investigation before Joe Biden moves into the White House with regard to the Obama administration kick-started a probe into connections between the Trump 2016 presidential campaign and Russian officials as a form of political retribution.
Although it’s not clear what Trump is planning to “declassify,” The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday that the president is considering several special counsel investigations: one into Hunter Biden’s business dealings and alleged tax issues, one into claims of widespread vote fraud in the 2020 presidential election, and even a probe of Barr, himself, stemming from Barr’s comments last week that the DOJ does not suspect a national effort to upend the November elections.
If Trump appoints a special counsel, it will likely be a heavily limited investigation. The Electoral College is expected to vote to make Joe Biden president on Monday, and Congress is expected to certify that vote the first week of January after it returns from its holiday recess.

Don't get me wrong I would love, absolutely love to be proven wrong.

Get ready for the lie.

How would WSJ know this? “Sources say” of course.
> “..... following news that Trump’s AG William Barr knew of the investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings before the presidential election but did not make it public .....”
Maybe, or maybe shaping public opinion that Barr is defying the President.
> “..... — a decision, the president felt, cost him support and may have cost him the election.”
Here we see the spin enter. The President ‘felt, ‘cost him support’ etc.
I believe the reports the President won with overwhelming support and that the news of Biden ties to CCP was released by the laptop falling into Rudy’s possession. There are simply too many independent sources that are consistent.
The news of the release of the CCP ‘list’ was conveniently left out.
Trump should have done this sooner...
If declassification happens without media coverage and a banned Twitter account, does it really happen????
He didn’t release everything because he was foolish enough to trust the Bushite DS operative Barr.
Don’t say it, do it Mr. President.
He should have done that weeks ago. Before the case with the SCOTUS. And they are talking about having this concrete proof about foreign interference but hasn’t shown anything. Just talk. Now he is saying he will release everything. Not sure if after today anything can be done about the election. If they have PROOF about interference then let it out. If we have that server from Germany then let’s see it and what’s on it. They did a dive on some dominion machines in GA that counted our votes and no one is telling us the results. I heard the courts are making them suppress the info. What are they waiting for. Is it a trap they are waiting to snare them all.
He’s been saying this for over two years. Don’t just declassify, release the damned information! The report on the forensic audit of the Antrim County voting machines was and is unclassified, but a friggin’ judge sealed it. Without the public knowing what’s going on, declassification doesn’t mean shit!
Declassify everything.
Pardon Snowden.
Pardon Assange.
Give the corrupt establishment the middle finger.
It’s one thing to declassify but if the media remains loyal to the opposition, how will word get out to the masses?
President Trump should learn by now that the only real way to declassify something is to post in on Twitter and pin it. Just declassifying is meaningless. It’ll just be suppressed.
Trump has declassfied before and the deep staters just don’t release the info, or they redact everything.
Can he release info and actually get the info out there?
The big tech treasonous bastards can just block it again.
Good, but he better call in the military to start arresting some of these traitors...
Let all that has been concealed,
Be revealed.
Amen.
> Well, I would send armed soldiers after the file cabinets and laptops.
this
Just a wild guess, but Trump is going to start declassifying things now, as in right now. He knows where the bodies are buried. Going to look really bad for Biden, like go to jail time for all the Biden clan. Poor Hunter, I expect he is going to be Arkancided! MY GOD, WHAT DOES POOR JOE BIDEN HAVE TO GO THROUGH NOW!???? Another child dead. The msm will rehash his miserable life, sob, and that will be 24/7 until Inauguration day. Then after a couple of months, poor, depressed Creepy Joe will quit or be removed. And the real President, Commiela assumes power.
Yep. The only way information will be released is if he himself walks into the FBI with a squad of Marines and pulls the files and servers. Maybe he should take a Company or a Battalion.
He needs to demand all of the files on everything be delivered to the White House in electronic form and or paper. Then release them himself.
Yes. It would be a guess that the fix is in.
On the other hand, if Hunter Biden gets off the Democrats would have a much harder time replacing Joe with Kamala, so there’s that. :)
Sure I’d like to read the details of exactly how corrupt the hacks in our government are, but beyond that it’s likely the exposed felons will be treated as heroes by the left.

Agree with your take but would still like to see it out there to tarnish the prior administration and if Joey contradicts his scripted campaign promises at least the “‘Trump hating voters” will know he was purposefully propped up the whole time and they were too emotional to see through the ruse.
