Obama's Deep State Has Left ‘Paper Trail As Wide As Interstate-95’ Which Will ‘Fall All Over DC Like Radioactive Ash’
https://www.redstate.com/elizabeth-vaughnThanks to the painstaking efforts of lawmakers such as Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Judicial Watch founder Tom Fitton and so many other conservatives, we already know most of the story. Declassification will allow us to fill in the blanks and hold people accountable.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who has emerged as one of Trump’s biggest supporters, spoke to Fox & Friends on Friday and said:
It is long overdue. You’re going to find out the mentality of the people investigating the president. You’re going to find out exactly what they did and said. You’re going to find out that Papadopoulos was not working with the Russians and [the FBI] knew early on that he had no contacts with the Russians. There’ll be some transcripts coming out where he says, ‘If you did that, that’d be treason.’ So the bottom line is, there’s going to be a lot of information about they were warned Steele was a bad guy and you can’t trust him. They blew through every stop sign.
While this order should have come a long time ago, at least it’s finally been done. The onslaught of all the new House Democratic investigations and the success of liberal judges to force Trump’s compliance with congressional subpoenas added to the pressure. Finally, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s unhinged comments to reporters that “the President is engaged in a cover-up” minutes before an important meeting with him forced his hand.
The Washington Examiner’s Byron York spoke about an additional benefit of Trump’s making this decision at this particular time. He tweeted:
Talking to plugged-in Republicans about Trump declassification order. They see giving AG Barr authority will speed the process. Added benefit: Quick declassification could allow DOJ IG Horowitz to include more stuff in his upcoming report.
News of Trump’s order to declassify all documents relating to the targeting of his p**********l campaign by members of the Obama administration intelligence community has reverberated throughout Washington and beyond since Thursday night. The same Democrats who are demanding that Trump release his business records and tax returns because he “may have” broken the law are panicking over this directive. Rep. Adam Schiff, who has built his reputation on his hatred for Donald Trump, tells reporters it’s “un-American” and of course, he’s worried about revealing “sources and methods.”
For nearly three years, Democrats and the media have persecuted this President, yet they’ve never been able to point to a particular crime.....
Recently, Attorney General William Barr announced his appointment of U.S. Attorney John Durham to open an investigation into the origins of the Trump/Russia probe, DOJ IG Michael Horowitz has been examining the FBI’s FISA Court application and related activities since March 2018 and his report is expected soon. And, so they say, that elusive man of mystery Utah U.S. Attorney John Huber, began an investigation into Obama-era FBI/DOJ abuses of power in March 2018.
The tide has most definitely turned.
After the unending outrages of the last three years, this will be fun to watch.
