Has this declassification and release of documents already started, scheduled to start, or does all depend on the Swamp allowing the release to ever happen at all?
I hope we don’t have to depend on people like Rosenstein or Sessions deciding to cooperate and do what Pres. Trump has ordered.
I think we originally heard that the FISAs would only take a day or two but the emails, being so numerous would take more time.
Don’t think we’ve seen anything yet though.
The deep staters provided these things to congress but so heavily redacted that they were useless. The redactions were because "classified". So sorry congress, can't blame us!
So Trump declassified them. Now the ball is in the court of the deep staters. If they refuse to remove the redactions than the reasons aren't classification, they are obviously more sinister than that. Trump is telling them "expose the facts or expose yourself as part of the coverup to hide those facts. Choose".
Right now they are choosing but I suspect they will reissue them with heavy redactions still in place (because they can't do otherwise without implicating themselves) and they'll justify this by saying "Trump really doesn't understand how sensitive these things really are so to protect the country from his dangerous directive we are forced to ... blah blah blah". Next move is congress' and/or Trump's to take. Arrest for contempt of congress, fire, or grandstand from the floor of the house and tweet from the whitehouse about how bad it looks but otherwise do nothing. One of those three will play out, I figure.
Trump simply cannot allow his subordinates (they work for him, they are employees in the executive branch) to thwart or defy him as this insubordination would severely undermine his authority, if not damage the presidency itself.
This would not only weaken him at home, it would also diminish his respect and credibility abroad which could lead to tragic miscalculations by our adversaries.
He cannot afford to let the happen.
This is a DEFINING MOMENT in his presidency. He ordered the immediate release of the documents. He must prevail over the Deep State — or we’re all in deep trouble.
