Democrats Make Last-ditch Effort To Block Trump Declassification
dailycaller.com ^ | 09/18/2018

Posted on 09/18/2018 8:29:00 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Leading congressional Democrats are looking to stall the process to release documents related to the Russia investigation, which President Donald Trump ordered declassified on Monday.

Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff and Sens. Chuck Schumer and Mark Warner, sent a letter Tuesday asking Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats to provide an “immediate briefing” to the Gang of Eight before declassifying and releasing the documents.

The four Democrats expressed “profound alarm” at Trump’s order to declassify the records.

Trump ordered the Justice Department and Office of the Director of National Intelligence to begin the process to declassify 21 pages from a June 2017 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) application taken out against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

in this letter, they claim that the President has no right to even SEE the information related to the last fisa warrant written against Carter Page. And claim they the fisa warrant was intended to investigate the president.

Which actually proves the conspiracy that the democrats under Obama did the FISA warrant to spy on Trump, doesn’t it?

Trump should have Sarah Sanders hand copies out at tomorrow’s press briefing and be done with this.

The President has absolute authority to declassify any damn thing he wants. End of story.

All that resist can be fired on the spot.

I give the edge to Trump, things were bad when Reagan was POTUS, BUT Reagan wasn’t dealing with Marxists he was dealing with a Democrat political party AND they were able to at least compromise on some things!!! Trump is the ONLY POTUS who is strong enough to deal with this rabid BS!!! He doesn’t NEED this stinking job he IS DOING it for us!!!!

Since PRESIDENT Trump is final arbiter on what is and is not classified, how dare Wray and Rosenstein withhold information from him. Fire both of them!

must listen to Solomon’s opening about how the President couldn’t be calmer, the Admin couldn’t be more functional...etc - so different from what you read in the other media orgs etc...

Uh-oh, I’m waiting any for to hear a Hawaii judge has ordered all declassified documents be immediately burned on a bonfire.

Most of the info “classified” is done so to protect the law breaking officials, not because of Nat’l security issues.

The dems are twisting in the wind, and a WHOLE LOT of stuff that will incriminate the criminals needs to be brought out in the open.

The congress, fbi, cia, dia, justice dept et al work for US the citizens, not these law breaking protectionists. Protecting criminal acts is UNAMERICAN!

Methinks they doth protest too much. There must be some juicy stuff in the FISA application. Trump is near the target. Getting closer and closer to Lynch and Obama.

Rats know what’s being released doesn’t make the Deep State look good.

They’re panicked and I have never seen anything like it.

The so-called party of transparency is goin’ down. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of folks.
