Why it’s time for Trump to play his ace in the hole (declassify docs now!)
New York Post ^ | 9 July 2018 | Michael Goodwin

You return from a great vacation and POW — reality hits like a punch in the nose. And that’s not counting the hassle of New York airports and traffic.

The pain begins when you remember that the hapless Jeff Sessions is still the attorney general of the United States. It sharpens with the realization that Rod Rosenstein, officially Sessions’ deputy but really the boss of the Justice Department and FBI, continues to get away with the biggest partisan heist of modern times.

Rosenstein is guilty of three main sins. One, he gives his spawn, special counsel Robert Mueller, virtually unlimited time, scope and budget to target anybody who worked for President Trump’s campaign or administration. As the ongoing trial of Paul Manafort illustrates, the tactic involves throwing the kitchen sink of charges with the aim of terrifying defendants so they will be more inclined to spill any possible beans on Trump in exchange for leniency.

The zealous approach — and exorbitant legal fees involved for defendants or witnesses — serve as deterrents for anyone who might consider public service. And although there is still no indication the president did anything wrong, the search for a crime to pin on him creates a cloud over everything he does and could influence the midterm elections.

He is thus far unwilling to put Hillary behind bars. That speaks volumes.

I don’t understand why Trump is waiting to declassify. When you drop an atomic bomb in August, the place is still destroyed in November. Why wait until closer to the election?

By not declassifying, makes one wonder if Trump is afraid of something?

I think he’s waiting till the low information voters start paying attention. They’ll have forgotten if released too soon.

***serve as deterrents for anyone who might consider public service***

This is the key to Mueller's being... Mueller is the enforcer - the person to make sure that no one ever opposes a Democ🐀 ever again: you criminalize all Democ🐀 opposition1 Mueller has the power and authority to do as he did to Michael Flynn: bankrupt them since the SC has a $tril to spend squeezing his victims. -- Just ask Roger Stone or Michael Caputo.

That is why I call Mueller THE CONSTRICTOR - he wraps his deadly coils around his victims and squeezes the life out of them until they give up.
