Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff and Warner DEMAND DOJ-FBI Defy Trump Declassification Order

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 Trump’s 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 they’re not subordinate to you,” Chamberlain said of the letter signers. “I’m sorry — President Trump has not issued a request to the intelligence agencies that they declassify this information, he has issued an order.”

I’d like to think Trump was giving people enough time to hang themselves.

Maybe that’s why he made some of the appointments he did.

To that end, I sure would support that being revealed.

[oldtech]

I would agree with this & further submit that those who don’t agree have no business serving. Those currently in office who don’t agree with this premise of upholding the Constitution,should be serving......time in a federal penitentiary.

We need some Legislatures replaced who will respect the rule of law, and uphold the Constitution.

We needed that BEFORE the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

That my friends is the definition of panic. It is completely it would devised, and sounds as though they are begging. Let them all hang.

Only the evil love the darkness.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

I am not sure if I like the voice to text on this iPhone as much as the android. It gets a lot wrong.

[ldish]

can’t see a copy of letter...saw it on youtube...from the looks of it, seems like an admission sedition...and /or treason for the dems and the heads of DOJ, FBI and DNI....

[ldish]

BY their own words they are saying admitting that they attempted and had in place an arrangement to withhold info from the newly elected President from the start...yes they were part of, the originators of the deep state (with hitlery and obama - I am sure we will soon find out)...how can this not almost insure the midterms...only if it gets reported by someone, anyone, and normal people go out and vote! There are no same dems anymore...never have been!

[ldish]

‘Kick them out of congress’....no. just asset them immediately...sedition!

[morphing libertarian]

when democrats start going to prison this BS will stop but Trump and sessions have been inexplicable quiet of dem crime including Hillary and obama.

[ldish]

too many repubs will be rounded up too with whatever criteria he uses to hook them in on maybe?

[DouglasKC]

Gee isn’t this what they wanted all this time to prove openly that trump colluded with the russians. Well heres the evidence.

[FrogMom]

What the hell reason can they give!!?

[Electric Graffiti]

Thanks. Just listening to a replay of Hannity’s interview with Nunes. He also said the text messages can be released immediately and that many reporters have said they’re stalling

IOW, #NotGood

[SERE_DOC]

Just for the record, it is called 18 U.S. Code § 4 Misprision of Felony, and 18 USC § 2384 Seditious conspiracy, and every one of them who is advocating for these people to usurp the Constitution is guilty of.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

Warner is an embarrassment to Virginia. Maybe the FBI should investigate his business deals?

[freedomlver]

Absolutely, They should also looking the rest of the gand since they are politicians and all have a net worth of millions. Schiff is the lowest with only a little over a million. Pelosi 120 million? She’s dumber than a box of rocks and somehow ended up with 120 million?
Feinswine 80 million??? WTF..
And Schumer about 9 million.. Politics sure is profitable.

[morphing libertarian]

good let all evil doers rot
