    Default "Trump walks back his plan to declassify Russia probe documents"

    "President Trump on Friday walked back his order earlier this week to declassify information in the ongoing probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, saying Justice Department officials and others had persuaded him not to do so for the time being."

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...nl_most&wpmm=1

    "persuaded him," when was the last time anyone "persuaded" Trump, especially his Justice Dept, which the Trumpkins have been telling us is the "deep state?"

    Higher probability is that they read what they demanded uncensored and it just further proved the House's lackeys' inneundos and conspiracies are bogus, even Nunes can't frame the "alternative" narrative if the documents released lack ambiguity

    They figured out that it would be as earth-shattering as the hapless and useless Nunes Memo.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    I guess he got a look at the evidence that supports the warrant.

    More likely it probably wouldn't have given them enough inconclusive points to even create a Nunes memo

    Trump was also swayed by foreign allies, including Britain, in deciding to reverse course, these people said. It wasn’t immediately clear what other governments may have raised concerns to the White House.
    that has to be about Steele
    His reversal was preceded by a series of conversations between White House lawyer Emmet Flood and senior law enforcement and intelligence officials — chief among them deputy attorney general Rod J. Rosenstein, according to people familiar with the discussions, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.
    Trump got played. Too bad he could have gone for transparency. Mueller really is not involved in this

    Letting the IG do it means more months of speculation. Very poor move by Trump

    why would you need a memo to view unredacted docs? Trump caved though. no question about it

    He caved because WH lawyer explained to him it would not help his argument, but would harm it.

    He explained about evidence and warrants and judges.

    I think they told him it could be considered abuse of power, using his office to punish his enemies and help his allies.

    >> For months, conservative lawmakers have been calling on the department to release Russia-related and other materials, many of them accusing law enforcement of hiding information that might discredit the Mueller investigation. Those calls were amplified by Fox News hosts, whom the president had previously cited as influencing his decision.

    “Thankfully it seems that saner minds have prevailed, at least for the time being,” said Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.). “This underscores why the President should be relying on the expertise and advice of intelligence and law enforcement professionals, not cable news hosts.” <<

    But but - aren't those professionals Deep State?!

    Fake News

    Notice that the actual quote from Trump is missing.
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    They explained to Rump that there was plenty of evidence to justify the warrant.

    no it's real. face it Trump listened to Rosenweasel.
    Rosenweasel is just that. he's an expert at survival - I think of him here as a Rasputin figure.

    Trump got played. face it and be honest about it.
    It will come out eventually by the IG but the Dems will squash all investigations and what should have been revealed remains obscured
