In a shocking letter intended to undermine the President, and his authority over the Executive Branch, multiple high ranking Democrats sent a letter ordering intelligence agencies to ignore Trumps order to declassify numerous documents involving the Russia investigation until consulting with Congress.
The intelligence agencies serve at the pleasure of the president and this clearly crosses the line separating the branches of government.
The letter was signed by Rep. Adam Schiff, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Senator Mark Warner, and Senator Charles Schumer and sent to Director Coats, Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and Director Wray.
Your agencies review, and any communication with the White House on the substance of the material, should not proceed further until you have briefed the Gang of Eight in person, the letter orders.
DC-based lawyer Will Chamberlain called the letter a constitutional crisis and urged the GOP to consider taking action against the lawmakers who signed.
You are equal branches of government, but theyre not subordinate to you, Chamberlain said of the letter signers. Im sorry President Trump has not issued a request to the intelligence agencies that they declassify this information, he has issued an order.

Kick them out of congress (because they won’t resign) and don’t ever let them back in. They have broken their oath, and they don’t belong there. Their constituents will just have to find replacements who will at least obey the laws of the US.
I make a screen capture, then put on TinyPic
I’m not sure if Nunes has access to or is in possession of the docs but I agree, let the cat out of the bag. Start naming names. I guess Nunes doesn’t want to invite anymore unwanted ‘attention’ directed his way.
The founders did not anticipate a major party itself becoming an agent of tyranny.
The only possible solution to this problem!
But...but....isn’t he declassifying information that Proves he collided with the Russians? I mean that’s all we heard and now Trump is about to set himself up to be impeached and they want to stop him? Gosh it’s almost as if they have been lying their asses off for the last 2 years.
I cant believe this! Looking from a long way outside democrats seem to be attempting to stall everything until your midterms hoping for their Blue wave. A question can those high up players in the alphabet groups like Rosenstein refer the letter onto a court or some group where a where a constitutionality decision on it might get stalled? In the end I dont see them obeying the letter. Even if those in the DOJ etc something to hide this is playing on a whole new level. It may be a desperate to hold on until the midterms so it is more essential than ever that Republicans at least hold ground. It seems like this is for the whole shootin match.
It’s not a crisis.
Just go get the documents he asked for. He was very specific on pages which means he has it.
He is waiting for a federal release. Just go take it and record the release.
Or the other major party getting a majority as a consequence and then deciding to do nothing about it.
He won’t wait that long.
The President knows what he wants. If he has to walk into that building himself, and he might, they are getting released.
IF THIS DOES NOT TELL US JUST WHO THE ANONYMOUS AUTHOR OF THE NYT OP ED IS, THEN WE ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
OF COURSE, IT IS DAN COATS. LOOK HE IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE, HE IS A CONTRARIAN ALONG THE LINES OF MC CAIN, HE IS SENT A LETTER THAT INCLUDES THE PEOPLE HE MENTIONED IN THE ARTICLE, WHO ARE ASSISTING HIM IN HIS ‘COUP’, AND HE THINKS HE IS DOING THE RIGHT THING, WHICH MAKES HIM DELUSION.
THE MAN SHOULD BE CONFRONTED AND IF I AM WRONG...WELL, OOPS BUT SOMEHOW I DON’T THINK SO.
WHO RECOMMENDED HIM? THAT WOULD BE A BIG REVEAL.
Let ‘em stamp their feet, hold their breath and turn blue. DECLASSIFY NOW!!
Such defiance would hasten their departure or their demotion to the broom closet to await legal action and would be a good thing.
I think it may be on the back of the document in the “Imaginary Clauses”
section.
They will not follow President Trump’s order and nothing will happen.
Wouldnt that be great ? Trump himself walking in with a phalanx of
U.S. Marshalls!
Openly advocating for unConstitutional actions, should be grounds for removal from office.
This verges on sedition, a soft coup.
It needs to be slapped down fiercely.
I guess the Founding Fathers of this nation failed us by not providing an adequate Organizational Chart detailing our separate branches of government for these morons on the left.
Does the President order their legislative staff about? Make demands of them? If not, why not?
“Openly advocating for unConstitutional actions, should be grounds for removal from office. This verges on sedition, a soft coup.”
Yup. I’m hearing a lot of the talking heads on fox using the words treason and coup. It’s about time.
