Now that FBI agent Peter Strzok has appeared before the Congress and told us nothing that we did not know, it is time for President Donald Trump to act. Strzok looked like a cocky crook testifying to Congress about a failed con job. His appearance was utterly astounding. He actually smirked at the assembled elected officials of government. He smirked from morning until late in the afternoon when the Congress finally adjourned, though admittedly by late in the afternoon the wind was pretty much out of his sails, and his smiling face most assuredly ached. He looked deflated, and if he was eager for anything it was for the exit and the arms of his FBI paramour Lisa Page.
His demeanor was not that of a stalwart FBI agent appearing before the Congress of the United States to inform the citizenry, but like that of John Gotti or one of the other hoods whom a better generation of FBI agents than Strzok’s once put behind bars.
At some point in the near future a reflective Congress might — in a bipartisan moment — investigate how the FBI became a tool of elitist interests in our nation’s capital. Then too the Congress could offer suggestions as to what can be done to repair the damage. For federal law enforcement to become so flagrantly political is genuinely alarming.

Use your faithful weapon, Mr. President, your trusty black felt pen. Sign the declassifying order now.

Same demeanor as Comey....I can do anything I want and say anything I want...and tell as many lies and I want....and you can’t touch me.
Part of me feels we should declassify all intelligence information, with the exception of that which specifically deals with counter-terrorism, military capabilities, weapon systems, and that could implicate our spies. I know that’s a little over the top, maybe, but we’ve created rogue intelligence agencies within our own government that are now openly trying to manipulate the American political process, and to remove a sitting US President.
Trust your gut and not your establishment handlers Mr. President. Pull the declassification trigger. DO IT NOW!
Nah, don’t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes in October-ish...
HE needs to declassify now! It is tearing the country apart. The opacity must be removed.
The classification system is clouded at best...when our own congressmen and women have to go to a room and read without taking notes or given copies on some matters to me is foolish. Who can be trusted ? The wolves guarding the hen house arises when you have what seems to be untouchable long term “PUBLIC” employees with access to the same documents....that alone creates opportunity for espionage and by the time it gets ferreted out the damage is done. I agree with what the President is doing ...give the likes of Comey,Brennan,Strozck,Page,Clapper enough rope and let them hang themselves as they will forget some of the blatant lies they constantly fabricate.
***** Same demeanor as Comey....I can do anything I want and say anything I want...and tell as many lies and I want....and you can’t touch me. *****
So far, he’s right!!
You get it.
Your insistance is proof you have no clue as to what is in process. You demand surrender before the assault has even happened.
Foolishness, just plain foolishness
He can let people know he's doing it so they can be fully informed before the elections.
agreed, the timing is not right and Trump has excellent feel for this sort of thing. The country has been torn apart for some time. The 8 O years....this was not my America. Now we are actually on track and we have folks talking about a coup, about changing the constitution. I say, give them airline tickets and tell them to get the f out. If you want to live in a Europe like state, please go ahead.
He won’t. He’s used the lack of transparency to chum the waters to keep his base motivated.
I don’t think so. The muddier the water, the better he thrives.
For as much as Obama tore the country apart, there has been little if any attempt to heal it. Seems that’s the nature of hyper partisan politics.
By this point the FBI and intel agencies are so hopelessly corrupt, our only option is to burn them down and start over.
I believe Trump is holding back on declassifying till October to counter whatever stink bomb Mueller is planning to throw at the midterms.
Anyone know where I can get a “Frank Church was Right” t-shirt?
He won’t. He’s used the lack of transparency to chum the waters to keep his base motivated.

True. Additionally, once he declassifies, he becomes the de facto AG. The uniparty would go wild and some weak kneed Republicans would support impeachment.
I think maybe POTUS is waiting because he needs to have a mechanism in place to prosecute these people. Sessions appears to be awol, Roddy appears to be “in on it”. Turtle won’t give him a recess appointment. So who is left to do anything?
These could be reasons he is holding off until after mid terms.
For now, lack of clarity helps him especially with the base. It may or may not in the long run bite him. But for now it serves a purpose.
