Trump vows to release FISA docs now that Mueller probe is concluded, slams 'treasonous' FBI

You know, I’ve been selling Trump short I believe. I ‘misunderestimated’ his farsighted and sneakiness. What a PERFECT time to blow the the whistle and get even with everyone who’s been involved in trying to make it look like he’s Putin’s ‘Poodle’.

Trump vows to release FISA docs now that Mueller probe is concluded, slams 'treasonous' FBI

President Trump, in an exclusive wide-ranging interview Wednesday night with Fox News' "Hannity," vowed to release the full and unredacted Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants and related documents used by the FBI to probe his campaign, saying he wants to "get to the bottom" of how the long-running Russia collusion narrative began.

Trump told anchor Sean Hannity that his lawyers previously had advised him not to take that dramatic step out of fear that it could be considered obstruction of justice.

"I do, I have plans to declassify and release. I have plans to absolutely release," Trump said. "I have some very talented people working for me, lawyers, and they really didn't want me to do it early on. ... A lot of people wanted me to do it a long time ago. I'm glad I didn't do it. We got a great result without having to do it, but we will. One of the reasons that my lawyers didn't want me to do it, is they said, if I do it, they'll call it a form of obstruction."

Trump added: "Frankly, thought it would be better if we held it to the end. But at the right time, we will be absolutely releasing."

Trump also accused FBI officials of committing "treason" -- slamming former FBI Director James Comey as a "terrible guy," former CIA Director John Brennan as potentially mentally ill, and Democrat House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff as a criminal.

Brennan’s really on Trump’s shit list. From the article:

"I think Brennan's a sick person, really I do," Trump said, sharply criticizing Brennan's "horrible" claims in recent weeks that Trump had committed treason himself. "I think there's something wrong with him."

I applaud him,

mostly because I would like to see the FISA Court exposed for the fraud that it is.

The FISA court, created by a Democratic Congress and a

@Bisbonian

Democratic President, has been exposed. So have federal, state and local governments' ongoing and massive violations of the Fourth Amendment. (Snowden not only made it into headlines, but also into films and documentaries.)

I have some theories about why exposing stuff to the view of most Americans doesn't seem to result in much much beyond exposing stuff to the view of most Americans, but nothing more than personal theories.

When my parents acted as though the survival of our nuclear family depended upon electing Democrats, they cited bread and butter issues, like Social Security and unions. I don't know if they were misled, even then. But I do know that a country whose peoples consider Joe Biden an average Joe Six-Pack, or even a friend of average Joes, has lost it.

Entirely.

Then again, a country, most of whose peoples went to the polls in 2016 to vote for Trump or Hillary, had jumped the shark.

"If you wrote this as a novel

"If you wrote this as a novel, nobody would buy it; it would be a failure, because it would be too unbelievable," Trump said. "We're getting to the bottom of it. This can never, ever happen to a president again. That was a disgrace and an embarrassment to our country. ... Hopefully they won't get away with it.

Ya have ta agree with El Trumpo. He's one hundred percent correct. Now with the failure of the Demonrat opus Crossfire Hurricane, the genii at the DNC are pushing full on for actually insane deflections/deviances that eventually shed all but the most brainwashed core.

This would be a hella bombshell if there is any truth to it. Can you imagine if another election was rigged, but this time when someone would do something about it?

Democrats rigged the primary and we demexitted and called Bernie names. What do you think Trump supporters would do?

Stay tuned...

Trump is just trying to see his first term through.

Any hope of 100% declassifications are fantasy. The threat of declassification may be useful for that Trump to survive his term in office, but actually following through on complete FISA warrant declassification would surely expose not only Democratic malfeasance but Republican as well. It would also reveal the full scope of the cancer in our FBI, CIA, DOJ and our Federal court system as well. These people do not take kindly being exposed and will work together to squash any such a threat, by any means available.

The revolution I dream of will not be fueled by partisanship. Nor will it be led by some charismatic individual from one side of the aisle or the other, or by any individual for that matter. It will be led by a vast multitude of people who are fed up with being manipulated by lies and abuse at the hands of the rich and powerful and who want only the truth and a chance for freedom, wherever that might be found.

That revolution may well never happen. I’m afraid we are much more likely to live through a continuing series of partisan distractions, since that works so effectively to keep us fighting each other rather than our common oppressors. “It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it.”, and those who are in it aim to keep it that way.

Trump, however, is a member that club. He may not be in good standing at the moment, but he is still a member. He’s certainly not going to risk that, or his life, for our benefit.

something else that was due for de-classification? IIRC, he promised to de-classify in full, but the published version was heavily redacted anyway. Something to do with JFK, was it?

Trump has also said Mueller's Report

...should be released to the People with full transparency.

Considering the sabotage involved, it would be a pretty radical act that would likely tear the country apart. It wouldn't be kind to Trump either.

According to the pundit link Snoopydog provided in this thread, Mueller knew by August 2018 that there was no collusion between Trump and Russia. And said nothing. Even had the gall to stage that ridiculous arrest of Roger Stone for mocking his investigation. I believe with certainty that Mueller knew that Trump was being railroaded from the beginning, like the rest of the FBI and DOJ does. He knew that the Russia Hoax is a cover-up for Obama Admin spying and sabotage on behalf of Hillary Clinton.

The clueless elected Democrats desperately hope that the Mueller Report will expose additional sins committed by Trump and other Republicans that they can use to crush them at the polls for years to come. The clueless elected Republicans fear that the Democrats are right.

But just one level above the world of the ineffectual elected dummies, the unelected authorities who actually run the Federal Government know that transparency of the Mueller Report could shine a light on the subversive activities of the Intelligence Agencies, the DOJ, the Department of State, and our foreign allies — the UK and Australia in particular — that they may not be able to control. Hence, transparency of the Mueller Report is a lost cause.

Transparency of the FISA warrants will deliver some targeted damage and take out a few key players. I can see that happening. It can be controlled.

Meanwhile, the Clinton's are already putting up a narrative fortress with the help of the Media Monopolies. I've seen this propaganda repeated here at least twice this week:

New book 'Shattered' by Clinton insiders reveals that "blame Russia" plan was hatched "within twenty-four hours" of election loss.

Don't let them get away with this bullshit. The Clintons and their operatives have been in on the corruption that created the Russian Hoax from the very beginning. This lie can be defeated with intellectual honesty and facts. Don't let it pass unchallenged. Don't let it enter the narrative.

I would be stunned if RUSSIA!!11!! hadn't been hatched

@Pluto's Republic

as Plan B well before Hillary lost to Trump. Say what you will (and I have) about Bubba Clinton, he had a lot of time on his hands. And it's his kind of Big Lie. JMO.

As far as Shattered's having been written by Clinton insiders, yea and no. Much like Game Change, Shattered was written by professional political journalists, possibly center right to right establishment political reporters who likely voted Obama and Clinton* who interviewed some Clinton insiders. I don't think the Clintons share all their diabolical stuff with even alleged Clinton insiders, so it would not surprise me if only Hill and Bill knew about Plan B until after she actually did lose.

Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign is a book by political journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes about Hillary Clinton's unsuccessful 2016 presidential campaign. The book was published on April 18, 2017 by Crown Publishing Group, and aims to determine why Clinton lost the election to Donald Trump.[1] It is a follow-on to the same authors' 2014 work HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton and made use of many of their large number of contacts within Clintons' circles.[2] Shattered spent 8 weeks in the New York Times best seller list.

Perhaps I am biased, but, IMO anyone with recurring ties to NBC and MSNBC fits the profile of center right to right establishment journalist.

In the book 'Game Change'

@HenryAWallace

The meeting between Hillary and Obama is recounted when he supposedly asked HER to be SOS. She then supposedly demurred because, get this, she was worried about controlling Bill.

Yeah, right. That conversation took place.

I look at these political books in the same way I look at the stories I write. I have a narrative in mind, I create characters similar to people I know, use a plot device to move the narrative along that is reality-ish based, and then I sprinkle in the imaginary details. But the bulk of it? Purely fiction.

I am not the most persistent of Trump bashers.

I post only with leftists these days. Although some leftists have certainly become Trump supporters, my bashing Trump would be, for the most part, my preaching to the choir. As much as I may sometimes vent among friends and political bedfellows, I don't much enjoy preaching to the choir. Despite all the foregoing I don't see Trump's current narrative as either far-sighted or sneaky.

I do not have friends (or employees) in high places advising me and seeking to advise me on politics daily. I did not even have the degree of day-to-day interest some had in Butter Emails, Comey, or the "independent (HA!) investigation of Mueller. Nonetheless, I know how and wehy the Steele dossier began, who took it over when Trump's Republican primary opponents dropped it and the role it played in collusiongate, Russiagate, etc. So, why shouldn't Trump? And every Republican, including Trump and his advisors, knows that bashing Democrats is good for Republicans seeking election or re-election, as is Trump.

Unlike Trump, I am not looking to discredit Democrats in general because I am running for re-election. Unlike Trump, I never "rabble"-roused about imprisoning Hillary, then averred that "Hillary has suffered enough" as soon as I got what I personally wanted. I fully expect one day to see Hillary and Trump again socializing happily, as they did at his wedding to Melania, much as Hillary has with Kissinger, Bush the Lesser and others.

Because Carlin's Big Club.

The things I know best about Carlin's big club? Most of us ain't in it--and they are coming for your Social Security.

Even your crappy Obamacare.

And both Trump and Hillary have been members of the Big Club, from conception until today. Indeed, each of them having switched political parties shows that membership in the Big Club these days shapes political policy more than membership in a political party.

Hillary hired over 200 economic advisors to tell her how to sound more like an economic populist without scaring rich people, even the rich people who know far more about private positions and public positions than do most members of the, well, public. With her big reputation as an advocate for women and children, she was willing to entertain a Constitutional amendment to "overrule" Roe v. Wade. She met with Pete Peterson, one of the most persistent enemies of Social Security to figure out what to do about Social Security. All while running in a Democratic Primary. While Trump's nature is not as methodical, he, too, is "flexible," as long as voters are happy come election day and the wealthy are happy always.
