Top Republicans and allies of President Trump praised his move to declassify all documents related to the Russia investigation saying the “American people deserve the truth.”

“I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents pertaining to the single greatest political CRIME in American History, the Russia Hoax,” the president tweeted Tuesday night. “Likewise, the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal. No redactions!” The president tweeted Tuesday night.

"All Russia Hoax Scandal information was Declassified by me long ago," Trump tweeted. "Unfortunately for our Country, people have acted very slowly, especially since it is perhaps the biggest political crime in the history of our Country.”

He added: “Act!!!"

Last year, the president gave Attorney General Bill Barr authority to declassify any documents related to surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016. Trump, at the time, also ordered members of the intelligence community to cooperate with Barr’s probe.

Allies of the president, including Republicans on Capitol Hill leading their own investigations into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, have criticized officials like FBI Director Christopher Wray and CIA Director Gina Haspel, claiming that the directors have been blocking the release of documents.

The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., who has been at the forefront of investigating the origins of the Russia probe for years, and has “long called” for declassification, said it is “gratifying” that the president is pushing for the release of the remaining documents.

“Numerous perpetrators weaponized our intelligence agencies against a political campaign—that’s a major threat to Americans’ civil liberties and to democratic governance,” Nunes told Fox News. “I have long called for maximum declassification and transparency so Americans can see the true scale of the abuses that occurred.”

Nunes added: “It’s gratifying that President Trump has decided to get the..

Democrats put this country through political h&ll with their Russian collusion ABUSE of government to go after Trump. If Democrats are now afraid of transparency, the party should be disbanded and documented as a very dark time in American history.

Yes, but the fact that Trump has now declassified the documents showing that the Russian Collusion charges were a hoax does nothing to change the fact that he colluded with Russia.

I’d like all the documents to be up on a web site. Thousands of them. And I want to see personal cell phone numbers in the clear in the documents. No redactions means no redactions. Hold nothing back.

This stuff should have been FULLY declassified years ago and not 28 days before the election. In fact President Trump had the power to do this from the get-go. Sadly it's like Dorothy and the Ruby Slippers — she had the power along and didn't know it.

And seeing all the redactions ticks me off even more. The redactions have nothing to do with national security and everything to do with allowing Deep Staters avoid embarrassment and a sullied reputation.

This has been a corrosive emotional strain and all of this evidence of treason should have been released years ago.

Better late than never,I guess. I think this release is more for us Trump followers. The other side could see all the evidence in the world exonerating Trump and they would never believe it.

It is being released too late to digest it all before the election and too late to help Trump. I don’t get the WH advisors. THEY MUST ALL SUCK.

The next step would be to expedite Assange’s legal issues, expose how WikiLeaks got Hillary’s stuff, and resolve the cold case of Seth Rich’s murder. Press ahead with the truth!!
