He has promised repeatedly to declassify the FISA docs yet that still hasn’t happened. He could have done it by now if he really wanted to. Something very curious about this. Not saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing; just wondering why he keeps deferring.

Timing, leverage... President Trump is shaping the battlefield and he will determine when, where and how often to feint and when and where to finally attack. The old Chinese general is Trump’s teacher, and if you read The Art of War you will recognize everything President Trump is doing. After all, The Art of The Deal is Trump’s business application of Sun Tzu’s military strategies.

My guess is he's waiting for the time he believes it will have the maximum impact on the upcoming election.

Or...is it simply a case of the agencies stalling and obstructing him? The Left is pretty good at doing that and they infest every federal agency in DC. Make no mistake, they too know how to shape the battlefield. I prefer to see them exposed, investigated and preferably incarcerated.

Shouldn’t this guy be relocated to the swamp to more swiftly locate the drain plug?

Swamp would be a bad place for a trial. impossible to get a jury that would convict anyone connected to the democrats. IMHO

You may be right but its a very risky gamble in my opinion. A lot of things could go wrong between now and the election. Whatever game he’s playing had better have a high probability of success. The next election is for all the marbles.

“”I am actually hopeful with this guy.””

We all have to be hopeful but it’s difficult as we’ve turned into cynics and skeptics and with good cause. Have to say that I’m not enthused about this statement:

“”Attorney General William Barr has appointed a U.S. attorney to examine the origins of the Russia investigation and determine if intelligence collection efforts targeting the Trump campaign were “lawful and appropriate,””

I like “the origins of” but not so much “if the efforts were lawful and appropriate”. Knowing how things go in DC, that’s easy enough for anyone to say - no problem, they were but it’s not going to be enough for us if that’s the answer. We can’t trust any of them anymore.

We heard the “bulldog” thing about Mueller also, didn’t we? I’m going to remain skeptical, I’m afraid.

I agree. DC is a bastion of liberalism.

How does Conn. have jurisdiction over anybody in DC?

Are Conn. juries any more likely than DC to be anything but a bunch raving leftists?

If you haven’t done so, not to be a “downer” but everyone should read Sidney Powell’s book and see how the DOJ has operated under our noses forever without anyone being wiser and nothing done to get rid of the corruption! An eye opener. None of us want to believe it but we can only shove our heads in the sand so far!

“”Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice is a book she prayed she would never have to write. It’s written in the style of a legal thriller to be enjoyable and understandable to non-lawyers, but it is the true, behind-the-scenes insider perspective on major litigation during the last decade. If you think you know the truth about what happened to Arthur Andersen, Merrill Lynch, Enron, and former United States Senator Ted Stevens, think again. You won’t know the truth until you read LICENSED TO LIE. …””

Probably right, and hope you are right.

DC is one big incestuous club. Its an island to itself and everybody knows everybody else. The Swamp protects its own.

Trump is an outsider and that is why they (both parties in reality) are circling the wagons and working to undermine and drive out the threatening “invader”.

Politically, how is the Trump DOJ going to indict criminal Democrats for FISA abuses if the judge presiding over the case hasn’t even sanctioned the perps? Doesn’t make any sense. Not going to happen. The fix is in.

Sounds good. And not a downer. Just well read and realistic.

I agree 100%. Hopefully Trump isn’t just looking out for his own win in 2020, instead of the good of the country. We don’t have the time to wait till then to prosecute those that have done this, especially with another election hanging in the balance for them to do it once again like they did in 2016 AND 2018.

This is too important for releasing it for that reason. The guilty ones need to be prosecuted ASAP, not October 2020 or later. Maximum impact will take place the sooner this happens.

Nothing wrong with colluding with her.

Best to make sure it's all being done undercover...
