Donald Trump promises to declassify FISA documents, Rand Paul calls for an investigation
Rather than uncovering a plot between Russia and Donald Trump it seems as if all the investigations into the 2016 election have uncovered is a plot between Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the intelligence community to come up with an “insurance plan” to stop Donald Trump.
We learned yesterday that Devin Nunes is preparing to refer criminal charges to the Department of Justice for FISA abuses during the 2016 election and last night the President promised–once again–to declassify and release all documents related to the burgeoning scandal. Here is more:
“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.”
This is not the first time the President has threatened to declassify these documents, in fact he has done it several times in the past, but his reasoning here makes sense to me. It is probably better for him to have waited until after the investigation was concluded and now that it is over I hope he finally makes good on this promise.
It looks like the whole investigation was based on a lie and I believe we need to get to the bottom of this. Rand Paul believes it was John Brennan who was behind pushing the discredited dossier and he is now calling for an investigation. Here is more on that:
Sen. Rand Paul escalated his demand for an investigation into former Obama officials who “concocted” the anti-Trump Russia scandal, revealing that former CIA Director John Brennan was the key figure who legitimized the charges and discredited “dossier” against the president.
In an interview, the Kentucky Republican said the Senate Judiciary Committee should immediately ask Brennan about his involvement in the document that helped to kick off the Russia collusion investigation of President Trump.
“I think we need to find the truth,” he told Washington Secrets. He said the goal would be to stop similar faulty investigations into future administrations, “Democratic or Republican.”
“A high-level source tells me it was Brennan who insisted that the unverified and fake Steele dossier be included in the Intelligence Report … Brennan should be asked to testify under oath in Congress ASAP,” he tweeted.
It sure does look like this was a failed political hit job and now that Donald Trump has been vindicated it is time to appoint a special counsel to look into the cabal that attempted to take down a sitting President in this vast left wing conspiracy.
