By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby direct the following:

AG Bill Barr does not need to assemble the intelligence product for approval by the executive (Trump). Instead the office of the president is granting the AG full unilateral decision-making as to each product being considered for declassification.

 

He is going to be so disappointed when his witch-hunt concludes that everything was done legally and by the book.

Get ready to jump on the disappointment bandwagon.

 

The appearance of Treasury and Energy would indicate the pre-existence of investigative evidence; that would be subject to ongoing DOJ review; and potentially be part of ongoing proceedings.

Potential target issues could include: (1) an investigation of Uranium One; (2) an investigation of the Clinton Foundation; and, (3) an investigation of matters related to payments to Iran.

 

You Libs wanted endless investigations, you wanna play, lets play.

 

1 example of what we will be seeing all the dirty details on.

 

I'm ready are you?

 

Oh to the contrary. For simple starters, we now have them caught in perjury. I expect indictments on that within the next few months. Simply in that it's easily verifiable for the DOJ. The question is which one of them is going to be arrested first. My bet's on that pompous jackass Comey.

 

How far does declass go, does it stop @Ovomit or does it carry on to 9-11, JFK, Martin Luther King on and on and on. Just asking.

 

I'm not sure if anything implicates Obama, and I'm not willing to go there until I see information that credibly leads to that. And I don't think this will stretch into any other theories/inquiries. This is strictly a serious investigation by the AG into abuses we know for a fact were committed. That's why an attorney was empowered, and likely with it a grand jury empaneled. This got serious. The full weight of the DOJ and the intelligence community are in a joint task force essentially created by Donald Trump.

The beauty of this undertaking is that because of the preliminary work already done, they can't do anything to stop it not without undermining their own arguments on "obstruction".

 

I really wish I was motivated enough to flag posts like this and come back in a few months. Then laugh at all of the excuses you make for Comey not having been arrested yet (or ever).

You guys are perpetually working yourself up into a frenzy but nothing ever happens.

 

Is it the same frenzy we all witnessed when your side was told there's no collusion/obstruction but your side continued to foam at the mouth that there's a tons of collusion/obstruction. That frenzy.

 

Let's put into perspective how deep Trump can do this: Trump can argue that any impeachment vote is meant to negatively impact or to eliminate the probe into the actions leading up to the Mueller Investigation. Hell, AG Barr may just take that position personally without needing Trump's say so.

Dems gone messed up by biting the hand, one too many times. Now they complain about the politicization of the process. Because see, it was okay for them to sic dogs after Trump, but not the other way around ROFL.

So this is on now, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it, not without putting themselves at risk legally.

 

I'm not on a "side" and I for one did not say that there was collusion. All I have said is that there was enough probable cause to start an investigation, and I would accept what Mueller found on that.
Note that I (unlike virtually every Trump supporter) said that I had the courage to accept Mueller's findings, regardless of what they were. And I do accept them.

He "did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities". I accept that. Do you?

The investigation also "established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts". I accept that. Do you?

I was in no frenzy at all. I waited for the report and accepted it. So two questions for you:

Do you accept the Mueller report, in its entirety?
Will you accept the results of all the new investigations, regardless of their outcome?

 

Look at you. You came in this thread saying you're gonna get the last laugh.

 

ok..ill play your little game! HAHA

 

Based on what I have seen so far, I expect any truly independent reports (and I expect the IG and the Connecticut reports to be independent) to conclude that everything was done legally and by the book. Not perfectly, because people always make mistakes, but I don't expect anyone to be charged with any crimes over the Mueller investigation or the circumstances that led to it.

However, if I those investigations do uncover wrongdoing, I will accept it. Now - do you have the courage to answer my questions?:
Do you accept the Mueller report, in its entirety?
Will you accept the results of all the new investigations, regardless of their outcome?

 

I'll accept the results of the investigations, regardless of their outcome. I mean, I was disappointed when Comey held that press conference on Secretary Clinton, based on the most flimsy definition of "intent" that you could possibly find. If I got over that disappointment, I already anticipate the investigations to uncover the depth of corruption but to go 'We'll give them a pass'

But that pass doesn't mean victory for us, the American People. That pass would mean we are a de-facto banana Republic where one can misrepresent information to a court to spy on American Persons.

The other reason I can accept the results is because as I said: Perjury is the obvious charge that can't be denied. Esepecially when the rest of the FISA is declassified, and it has no reason not to be.

 

Tell me ... my fellow Americans ... when will the next civil war break out in the US?
Which side choose then the blue and which the grey uniform this time ... or new uniform fashion then?

I as foreigner have the US never seen so deeply divided with hate spech against each other and blaming the other side to be evil for all and everything.
Sure ... your internal issue and my one ... but imo only a bad Comedy show what is going on!

 

its you that has a problem accepting investigation results you are the one that refuses to move on
No Collusion No Obstruction get over it

 

Of course. I've answered this 10 times and you have asked me this before. So start bookmarking it. My lord.

 

See post #14.
I accept the Mueller report in its entirety. Do you?

 

Who knows for sure, but the Left tried to flip an election and are still attempting to flip elections.

 

So you accept that Mueller did not exonerate Trump of obstruction of justice.

You accept that Mueller's investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.

You accept both of those things, right?

 

It's your side who goes out and burns down your downtown when you don't get your way.
