Trump declassifies documents of ongoing Russia investigation

[KCfromNC]

So Comey, Yates, Boenta, and Rosenstei signed the FISA warrants, knew that Steel was an FBI source, knew that he was paid by the DNC and Clinton campaign to create the reason for the warrant. So they all conspired to spy on American citizens.

So's law in action, I see. That's quite the jump from knowing who funded a source of information to a conspiracy to spy on American citizens.

So the DNC response to the Nunes memo

You're confusing the DNC with the House Intelligence Committee. Might want to clear that up before this conspiracy theory of yours gets out of control.

Trump walks back the declassification... for now.

In a pair of Friday morning tweets, Trump said: “I met with the DOJ concerning the declassification of various UNREDACTED documents. They agreed to release them but stated that so doing may have a perceived negative impact on the Russia probe. Also, key Allies’ called to ask not to release. Therefore, the Inspector General has been asked to review these documents on an expedited basis. I believe he will move quickly on this (and hopefully other things which he is looking at). In the end I can always declassify if it proves necessary. Speed is very important to me - and everyone!”

Our Justice/intelligence agencies and the intelligence agencies of our allies have hopefully convinced him of the potential dangers, both politically and to intelligence sources of ourselves and our friends.

They have testified that they knew the source and funding.

Sorry, the Democratic response to the Nunes Memo. Same thing.

The only danger is to those names being exposed as trying to cover their own tails.

So why is Trump backing down?

This is not true at all. There are people from other governments who give us information, and people who are embedded in certain circles for the purpose of gathering information. During the Fusion GPS hearings it was disclosed that at least one person had died simply because of the dossier. Other countries have asked us not to do this. We are crippling our ability to use intelligence to keep us safe so Trump can make some political points with his base.

He didn't back down, he's trying to go through the IG and said he might just declassify them himself

Trump tells the inspector general to release documents over warnings from agencies and allies

They have testified that they knew the source and funding.

That's nice. What does that have to do with whatever conspiracy you're claiming?

Casual disregard for basic facts don't really inspire much confidence in the stories you're telling.

I stated the facts. You're not disputing them.

 

[KCfromNC]

I don't have to, since the facts simply don't add up to whatever conspiracy you think exists. Or at least you haven't done anything but assert that the conspiracy is real. There's nothing to dispute.

They add up better than your collusion theories between Trump and Russia.

What "collusion?" Does anybody really think that a crafty guy like Putin would enter into a criminal conspiracy with a loose cannon like Trump? Would you?

Here's my "collusion theory." The Right is desperate to spin the Mueller Investigation as nothing but a partisan attempt to "get Trump" so any evidence it discovers that the Russians interfered with the election can be discredited.

My collusion theory is that both sides were looking for any dirt they could spring on the other side, and the Clinton campaign couldn't find any so they made some up, and then are trying to blame Trump for it. I also think Putin wanted to see Hillary Clinton spell Reset Button in Russian again.

Given I've never said that Trump colluded with Russia, that's not saying much. But I do appreciate the irony of having to defend something you're making up by making up even more stuff.

Well, seeing as I'm not with you 24/7, I wouldn't know if that's true or not. But I do appreciate the irony of you attacking Trump on everything he does, except this. The ongoing Russia investigation is about collusion between Trump and Russia, in case you weren't aware.

That's the spin the Right is trying to put on it, for sure. You just haven't convinced anyone but yourselves.

What is the right spin, then?

Now you're making up stuff to defend the stuff you made up to defend the stuff you made up. What is this, alt-right Inception or something?

The ongoing Russia investigation is about collusion between Trump and Russia, in case you weren't aware.

This is also a fabrication.

· 14th claim - The FISA requests left the sourcing of the dossier out of the warrant request, despite knowing it was Fusion GPS...

Did you even read the FISA warrants that Nunes made public. It was right there. You're going to have to stop making this claim because it is demonstrable nonsense.
