I’m not big on “booms,” but this is a thermonuclear device going off.

He wouldn’t have given PrisonBarrs permission to declassify if there was any question about whether or not PrisonBarrs would declassify.

The DemoKKKrats’ Chernobyl is upon us.

Note also that this is NOT just about the Mulehead report but the entire 2016 “presidential election,” hence Cankles is back on the block.

a couple more:

23 May: Washington Times: Trump orders declassification of intelligence in Russia probe origins investigation
by Dave Boyer
The president reiterated Thursday that he believes several former Obama administration officials committed treason by spying on his campaign.
“They have unsuccessfully tried to take down the wrong person,” Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House.
Asked by a reporter to name specific individuals who may have committed treason, the president mentioned former FBI Director James B. Comey; former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe; former FBI agent Peter Strzok and his FBI paramour, Lisa Page; and “probably people higher than that.”
The president noted that Ms. Page and Mr. Strzok, who ended up working on the Mueller investigation, exchanged text messages about creating an “insurance policy” in case Mr. Trump won the election against Democrat Hillary Clinton.
“That’s what they said, and that’s what they meant,” Mr. Trump said. “That’s treason. They couldn’t win the election, and that’s what happened.”...

plenty of propaganda in this piece, but still worth a read:

24 May: Reuters: Trump orders intelligence community to cooperate with review on Russia probe origins
“DRAINING THE SWAMP”
Trump, a Republican, harbors suspicions that the Democratic Obama administration ordered him investigated during the 2016 campaign to try to undermine his candidacy, and he wants payback against those he believes were responsible.
“Comey, Brennan, Clapper, we’re draining the swamp, folks,” Trump told a rally on Monday in Pennsylvania, referring to former FBI Director James Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan, and James Clapper, a former director of national intelligence, all of whom have been critical of Trump.
Of specific interest to Trump are the warrants that emanated from a secretive court that authorizes surveillance on foreign powers and their agents. Trump supporters believe the warrants will identify those responsible for the Russia probe that is still roiling Washington...

Donald Trump is going to prove Democrats are smarter than Republicans.

Democrats will NOT hold an impeachment vote in Committee, much less on the floor of the House.

Not into CERTAIN Senate defeat.

He’s double-dog daring them now.

“I’d bet on a lot of resistance from the ‘intelligence agencies’ and a lot of ‘The dog ate my homework’ excuses.”

That’s why he made the directive public, and gave a trusted AG full authority.

Anyone in the IC who does not cooperate will go to jail.

For Obstruction of Justice.

There are criminal indictments afoot. Don’t get in the way of Barr when he has a case to solve.

Seriously! They had all the information they needed for a long time, but opted to let this drag out and drag out... and on and on.

Do it already!

There is no judge or court with authority over POTUS in these matters.

Not even one that would pretend it.

I am guessing that extra flights out of Dulles, Reagan and Thurgood Marshall Airports, to countries with no extradition treaties, are being laid on, as we speak.

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego Hillary Clinton?
