Trump threatens to declassify ‘devastating’ docs about Democrats
NY Post ^ | Marisa Schultz and Nikki Schwab

Posted on 11/29/2018 3:30:34 AM PST by RoosterRedux

In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with The Post, President Trump said Wednesday that if House Democrats launched probes into his administration — which he called “presidential harassment” — they’d pay a heavy price.

“If they go down the presidential harassment track, if they want go and harass the president and the administration, I think that would be the best thing that would happen to me. I’m a counter-puncher and I will hit them so hard they’d never been hit like that,” he said during a 36-minute Oval Office sitdown.

The commander-in-chief said he could declassify FISA warrant applications and other documents from Robert Mueller’s probe — and predicted the disclosure would expose the FBI, the Justice Department and the Clinton campaign as being in cahoots to set him up.

“I think that would help my campaign. If they want to play tough, I will do it. They will see how devastating those pages are.”

But Trump told The Post he wanted to save the documents until they were needed.

“It’s much more powerful if I do it then,” Trump said, “because if we had done it already, it would already be yesterday’s news.”

Trump revealed his playbook just as Democrats are set to take over House committees in January where they are poised to investigate his potential business conflicts of interests, tax returns, Russia dealings and more.

IF he goes that route, federal crime prosecutions must immediately follow.

I see no reason to further delay ripping the mask off of the Deep State Maggots. Declassify, now!

RELEASE THE NAMES

Speier: U.S. House Paid $15 Million to Its Secret Sexual Harassment Victims
breitbart.com ^ | Nov 14, 2017 | Joel B. Pollak
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3604888/posts

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) told MSNBC’s Chuck Todd on Meet the Press Daily on Tuesday that the U.S. House of Representatives has paid $15 million to alleged victims of sexual harassment by its own members in recent years.

“We do know there is about $15 million that has been paid out by the House on behalf of harassers in the last ten to 15 years,” she said.

“15 million dollars has been paid out over sexual harassment claims,” Todd replied, somewhat shocked. “So, obviously more than one member of Congress.”

Pressed for details, Speier said she did not know how many members of Congress were involved. She also explained that victims had signed non-disclosure agreements. “If the taxpayers are involved, don’t we have the right to know?” Todd asked later in the segment.

“I think you do have the right to know,” she said. “But right now, under the system, you don’t have a right to know.”


Taxpayers have a right to know the names of those we shielded. The charges and victims’ names can be redacted.

Declassify the info, Mr. President

To those who want to declassify now its like discharging a gun with one bullet. Just the threat has stopped some democraps talking impeachment. Besides will the media even cover it? Of course not. At least not more than 24 hours of coverage – if that. Also and most important Trump doesn’t have a permanent AG.

Should have been released months ago regardless of what Rob Redactenstein (h/t Howie Carr) thinks.

Trump is warning the rats to back off, play nice, get the work of the people done. Smart move. Hope it works. It’s time to be civil again.

Please Trump do it anyway. It’s about time someone smeared their faces in their own $hit.

Look at it this way: If what Trump has on them wasn't that bad, or if it was spinnable, the bad actors would have already tried a limited modified hangout, or would have just leaked the info to deprive Trump of his ammo.

Since the bad guys haven't done that, they're unsure of what Trump has and/or what Trump has on them is catastrophic for them.

If this is the case and Trump is keeping his powder dry, that sooooo works for me. 😄

Trump better feed his base some raw meat soon or he may get eaten himself soon in the famine.

I don’t give a crap about the politics of it. This used to be our country, now it’s owned by the deep state. Stop teasing, put it out there. We, the owners of this place have a right to know.
