The Trump Declassification Order : We Are Proud to Be Deplorables and Dregs, and the ProgDems Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet !!!

THE NEWS OF THE DAY, MONTH, AND YEAR IS THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS ORDERED THE RUSSIAN PROBE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS RELEASED. Theenws broke on Monday evening in Washington. Fox News reported that : "President Trump on Monday ordered the declassification of several key documents related to the FBI's probe of Russian actions during the 2016 presidential election, including 21 pages of an application for a renewed surveillance warrant against former campaign aide Carter Page, and text messages from disgraced FBI figures Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Trump had ordered the documents released 'at the request of a number of committees of Congress, and for reasons of transparency.' The documents to be declassified also include 12 FBI reports on interviews with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr and all FBI reports of interviews prepared in connection with all other applications to surveil Carter Page. Trump also ordered the Justice Department to release text messages from a number of the key players in the Russia investigation "without redaction" -- including Ohr, Strzok, Lisa Page, former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe." • Fox News said it was "not immediately clear when or how the documents would be released." Congressional sources told Fox News that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes does not know how soon he will get the documents, but said Trump's order covers "pretty much everything that he wanted...and the text messages are abonus." According to the sources, Nunes added : "Wow! This is a direct order." Earlier this month, 12 Republican members of Congress publicly asked Trump to declassify the June 2017 application for a FISA warrant against Page, as well as the FBI reports of interviews with Ohr, known in bureaucratic parlance as "Form 302s." On Sunday, Nunes told Fox News that witness interview transcripts and other documents from that committee's now-concluded Russia investigation should be made public before November's midterm elections. Nunes said : "If the President wants the American people to really understand just how broad and invasive this investigation has been to many Americans and how unfair it has been, he has no choice but to declassify." House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy said last week that it would be "beneficial" for Americans to see those documents. • The Daily Bellwether, a newsletter of of the Daily Caller, gave more details of White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders' announcement Monday evening : "The President has directed the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Justice (including the FBI) to provide for the immediate declassification of the following materials : 1. pages 10–12 and 17–34 of the June 2017 application to the FISA court in the matter of Carter W. Page; 2. all FBI reports of interviews with Bruce G. Ohr prepared in connection with the Russia investigation; and 3. all FBI reports of interviews prepared in connection with all Carter Page FISA applications.In addition, President Donald J. Trump has directed the Department of Justice (including the FBI) to publicly release all text messages relating to the Russia investigation, without redaction, of James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Bruce Ohr.” • The Daily Bellwether noted that : "Conservative lawmakers have long alleged that the documents will reveal widespread abuse of the FISA system by the highest levels of the FBI during the 2016 campaign. Lawmakers also point to the documents relating to Ohr’s contacts with salacious Dossier author Christopher Steele, along with his wife’s connections to Fusion GPS. Trump himself told The Daily Caller in a September 4 Oval Office interview on declassification, 'We’re looking at it very seriously right now because the things that have gone on are so bad.' ” • Epoch Times laid out the breadth of the President's declassification order on Monday, and again on Tuesday after a further review : "This declassification order is broader than had been anticipated. A declassification of the sequence of redacted pages from the Page FISA documents, along with the Ohr interviews, was assumed to be forthcoming. This order goes much further. Pages 10–12 of the June 2017 application relate to the Russian government’s efforts to influence the 2016 US presidential election. Pages 17–34 relate to Page’s coordination with Russian government officials on activities to influence the election. A number of these pages are fully redacted. Epoch Times reminded its readers that : "House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes has noted that exculpatory information pertaining to Page was omitted from the FISA applications. The declassification of these sections will likely illustrate whether that did occur. It’s also possible that more evidence of circular reporting between the FBI and certain journalists may be unveiled. Trump specifically selected the third and final FISA renewal dated June 29, 2017, as it is the most comprehensive of the four FISA documents, at 121 pages long. It begins on page 292 and ends on page 412 in the provided link. The June warrant renewal was signed by an unknown FBI supervisory special agent (page 380), FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe (page 389), Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein (page 391), an unknown DOJ attorney (page 392), and FISA Judge Raymond Dearie (page 412). Ohr participated in a series of 12 known interviews with the FBI between November 22, 2016, and May 15, 2017. Additionally, there have been reports of interviews that continued beyond this timeframe. The declassification order by Trump does not specify a date range or a specific number of interviews. The chosen wording specifies 'all FBI reports of interviews with Bruce G. Ohr prepared in connection with the Russia investigation.' The FBI interviews may have served as a means for Ohr to transmit information from dossier author Christopher Steele to the FBI. This relationship was noted by Senator Chuck Grassley, who said : 'The documents also raise questions about the role of Ohr -- a senior Justice Department official whose wife worked for Fusion GPS -- in continuing to pass allegations from Steele and Fusion GPS to the FBI after the FBI had terminated Steele as a source.' Ohr recently met with members of Congress and reportedly disclosed that he understood Steele’s information to be raw and uncorroborated hearsay. The third portion of the order appears to relate to underlying documentation used in the Page FISA warrant, calling for the declassification of 'all FBI reports of interviews prepared in connection with all Carter Page FISA applications.' The requested documentation relates to the initial FISA application and the three subsequent renewals. This portion of the declassification order was somewhat unexpected and will provide a broader examination of reasoning used in obtaining the warrant to spy on Page. Notably, this portion of the declassification order likely includes debriefings and interviews of lesser-known but still crucial characters, such as FBI informant Stefan Halper, Australian diplomat Alexander Downer, and possibly Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud. It should also include all communications with Steele. This portion of the declassification order will likely help to establish whether Woods Procedures were followed. The goal of the Woods Procedures is to ensure accuracy in regard to the following : 'The facts supporting probable cause. The existence and nature of any related criminal investigations or prosecutions involving the subject of the FISA. The existence and nature of any prior or ongoing asset relationship between the subject and the FBI.' It’s the third point in regard to Page that’s particularly important. That’s because Page cooperated with both the FBI and US attorneys for the Southern District of New York in the Evgeny Buryakov case, involving several Russian spies. Page almost certainly was providing testimony or details about Victor Podobnyy in the Buryakov case. The most unexpected portion of the declassification order calls for the fully unredacted release of all text messages from a number of key players in the Russia investigation. Even with redactions, a number of material admissions have been discovered within the vast set of Strzok–Page texts. To this mix is being added the previously unreleased text messages from Comey, McCabe, and Ohr. Given these officials’ involvement in all facets of varying investigations, the texts are likely to provide a lot of new information, including the undisclosed side of previously touched on conversations." • Epoch Times explained that the specific language chosen in the release, “at the request of a number of committees of Congress” and “for reasons of transparency,” likely relates to concerns over establishment of precedent. Epoch Times says : "White House counsel Emmett Flood had reportedly been against declassification 'out of the concern for the precedent it would set, as well as any unintended consequences of making the information public.' in the language used in the declassification order, the White House is invoking multiple congressional committees from the legislative branch. This provides a legal shift similar to the declassification of the Nunes memo, whereby the executive branch is complying with legislative branch oversight. The reference to transparency also touches on Part I, Section 1.7 of Executive Order 13526, which governs classification processes. It states : 'In no case shall information be classified, continue to be maintained as classified, or fail to be declassified in order to: (1) conceal violations of law, inefficiency, or administrative error; (2) prevent embarrassment to a person, organization, or agency; (3) restrain competition; or (4) prevent or delay the release of information that does not require protection in the interest of the national security.' The invocation of Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats is also important. Coats technically maintains oversight of the intelligence community." • For Epoch Times, the question now becomes "how quickly the various agencies will comply with the declassification order. It is likely that there would have been prior coordination and agreements reached in advance of the order. The material question yet to be answered is to what extent an agreement was reached with the DOJ and FBI." The GOJ said in a statement : “When the President issues such an order, it triggers a declassification review process that is conducted by various agencies within the intelligence community, in conjunction with the White House Counsel, to seek to ensure the safety of America’s national security interest. The Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are already working with the Director of National Intelligence to comply with the President’s order.” According to Epoch Times, cooperation by the DOJ and FBI "will be crucial, as the agencies still retain full control of the text messages of Comey, McCabe, and Ohr. It is yet to be seen whether they will fully comply with the presidential order. Attention will now be focused on Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray throughout the declassification process." • • • DOES THE SWAMP HAVE ANYTHING TO FEAR? Several days before the President's declassification order, Canada Free Press wrote an article, whose premise is : "Until Americans see guilty members within the United States government wearing orange jumpsuits and serving time behind bars, the investigations, and Congressional hearings are mere sideshow spectacles to appease the masses." The article, written by Rick Hayes, is titled " Why The Swamp Has Little To Fear." • Hayes says that the midterm elections "will either halt or hasten the current soft coup whose aim is to overthrow a legally elected President now being conducted by the Swamp. And if the history of Washington DC corruption is any indication of what will happen after the midterms, the Swamp will survive regardless of its coup’s success or failure. But the efforts to expose the treasonist plot will fade away into the dustbin of political history after being seen as just another waste of time and taxpayer money. The seemingly endless parade of corruption scandals and mind-numbing criminal activity will go on unabated and continue to escalate to unimaginable heights because of an inescapable fact of human nature." • Hayes makes the same point that many Americans have made : "What the American people have been subjected to over the past 18 months since President Trump took office has been a series of crimes that have been painstakingly unearthed but little else. 'Earth-shattering,' 'Bombshell,' and 'Constitutional crisis' are just some of the words and phrases used by media outlets to describe the newest update regarding the many ongoing investigations. Words that are meant to shock the audience but no longer have the impact they once did because of their overuse and because of the likely lack of any substantive outcome. What Americans have seen are trials without consequences, clear proof of guilt with no punishment. Draining the Swamp without any repercussions to the Swamp Creatures inside is like going on a diet but eating the same foods." • Canada Free Press states : "Americans witnessed no accountability regarding exhaustive investigations into the deadly circumstances surrounding the Swamp’s gun walking campaign named Fast and Furious. A program where US Border Patrol agent Brian Terry and hundreds of innocent Mexican citizens were killed with untraceable guns sold to criminals. The Swamp continued on its power mission and attempted the deceitful confiscation of America’s health care with 'Obamacare' whose real aim was a redistribution of the nation’s wealth. After little pushback and the passage of Obamacare, Americans witnessed Benghazi in 2012 and when nothing was accomplished over the investigations of that tragedy the Swamp trampled on the rights of conservatives in what became known as the IRS scandal of 2013 and nothing was done about that. And on and on with the Swamp committing one bigger and bolder crime after the next with impunity. So, we have arrived at the doorstep of the Russian collusion investigation farce by first traveling through the Swamp of unsolved crimes perpetrated inside the Obama administration. And with the passage of time, Swamp dwellers like Eric Holder and Lois Learner, knee deep in the mud with congressional contempt charges, continue to be financially enriched and will slowly be forgotten, while more recognizable Swamp royalty like Hillary Clinton get to run for President." Thus Riock Hayes' conclusion : "Until Americans see guilty members within the United States government wearing orange jumpsuits and serving time behind bars, the investigations, and Congressional hearings are mere sideshow spectacles to appease the masses and the Swamp instead of being drained will continue to drain the wealth and freedom of this nation." • • • TRUMP IS WINNING THE COLLUSION BATTLE. Despite the pessimism of Rick Hayes, President Trump is winning the Russia Collusion argument. What the Democrats must have been totally unprepared for is that not only is Trump winning the argument that he did not collude with Russia in the 2016 election, the Democrats are losing the argument by being uncovered as the real colluders. And, with the sweeping declassification order, the President is putting the Swamp on notice that he is willing to go straight to the Americna public to expose their deceit, lies, and corruption. • And, President Trump has a sympathetic audience in the American public. • The Conservative Tribune of the Western Journal has reviewed a recent poll from the widely respected Gallup polling group that shows that the vast majority of citizens do not believe Trump broke the law or acted unethically when it comes to the much-discussed but largely unproven “Russian collusion.” Gallup editor-in-chief Frank Newport told TheHill : “A lot of Americans have kind of dismissed the idea that [Trump] colluded to the extent that he did something illegal.” The poll released last week showed that a relatively small percentage of people -- 29% -- think that Trump illegally teamed up with Russia to influence the presidential election.....62% of Gallup poll respondents said that President Trump did nothing seriously wrong with regards to Russia, or possibly acted unethical but didn’t do anything against the law." That’s a major blow to liberal opponents of the President who hoped to use the still-vague Russian collusion story as a platform for impeachment. The poll also shows that despite the ongoing probe led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and almost daily coverage of the unproven scandal by the media, Americans are largely yawning at the entire issue -- liberals were more likely (59%) to say that Trump broke the law and colluded with Russia, and this means that 41% of Democrats -- a party that has made its opposition to Trump well known -- still do not think that Trump illegally colluded with Russia. And, just 29% of independent voters told Gallup that they thought Trump broke the law on the Russia issue. Only 3% of Republicans thought Trump broke the law. KEY in the Gallup findings in the Western Journal report is that despite mainstream outlets hammering the Russia angle almost endlessly, voters have basically shrugged and turned their focus to other things. Gallup asked Americans which issues were more important, but the Russian collusion narrative wasn’t even among the top 30. Gallup found that “less than 0.5% of respondents named ‘the situation with Russia’ as their top concern, while a huge number of issues -- 32 of them ranging from unemployment to crime -- all ranked higher on the list of concerns than Russia.” The Russia collusion narrative is falling apart, but the ProgDems an their propagandist media keep hammering away at it, beating a dead horse, so to speak. • • • SO, SHOULD PROGDEMS AND THE DEEP STATE BE WORRIED? On Seprember 15, BizPac Review discussed another Daily Caller report that quotes Devin Nunes, the House Intelligence Committee chairman, who said last week that Democrats and the media are likely to be “frightened” by the information contained in Trump-Russia documents that Republicans are asking President Trump to declassify. Speaking at an event hosted by the Center for Security Policy last Thursday, Nunes said his Committee has uncovered irregularities with the process by which DOJ and FBI obtained information and sought and renewed three times a warrant pursuant to FISA on US citizen Carter Page. Nunes, a close ally of Trump’s, noted that Democrats and media pundits claimed after the initial release of the FISAs that “the really bad stuff about the Trump campaign was buried in the redactions. “And I said, you know what, you might be right. We should declassify the whole thing,” Nunes said Thursday, according to the Washington Free Beacon. Nunes asserted that Trump’s critics have backed away from that argument out of fear that the rest of the FISA application will be damaging to the FBI and the to narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government. “And you know why?" Nunes went on, "Because I think they’re going to be frightened by what you see.” Nunes incuded the press in his statement. • • • DEAR READERS, On Sunday, Canada Free Press asked a serious question about hte Progressive Democrat leadership : "Suppose the media meme of a 'Blue Wave' victory in the mid-term elections ends up being as wrong as were their prediction of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 victory. When it ends, where will all the hate go?" • We see that America is tired of the Russian probe and the ProgDem insistence that President Trump is guilty of some great BUT unnamed crime that will lead to his impeachment. Even the above Gallup poll shows America's frustration and lack of trust in the Democrat-led charge based on the Fake Russia Dossier and Robert Mueller's never-ending search for anything that he can wave at his bosses in the Deep State and say "SEE!!" There is nothing to wave and America knows it. • So, when, as I fully expect, President trump leads the GOP to a November mid-term election victory -- bigger majorities in both the House nas Senate -- what will the Progressive Left leadership do? The one thing about mob street violence is that once encouraged and tolerqted, it will not go away quietly; especially not with Soros millions feeding it. What will Maxine Waters do with no impeachment of Trump even remotely possible? What will Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer do, with no justification for continuing to try to take down the President by inciting the mob? What will Nancy Pelosi say, provided she can remember for the half hour of her weekly press review that she lost once again? Who will control Antifa, Black Lives Matter, Code Pink, the paid protestors at the Judge Kavanaugh hearings after the mid-terms? For-hire protests have become an American industry, so the idea that they will put down their bats, take off their black hoods, and go back to their holes is highly unlikely. Soros and his friends will continue to pay them to harass and unhinge America. What will the mainstream 3-letter media do with no road ahead that leads to impeachment of their prey, President Trump? One can envision CNN, for example, falling off the screen because their gullible audience will no longer see how CNN can change anything vis-à-vis Trump and Republicans and conservatives -- and most Americans who are sick of their diatribes and have long since vanished. And, what will Hollywood and its game shows -- oops, awards shows -- emcees do -- do they have the talent they like to hype in sufficient depth to actually return to making movies that are not thinly-veiled ant-Trump anti-GOP political docu-dramas. • Canada Free Press tells an interesting story about the early American Civil War predictions of William Tecumseh Sherman : "When Civil War hostilities were threatened, Sherman was essentially the President of what would later become Louisiana State University (LSU). In his Memoirs, Sherman records his dismay at the cavalier attitude toward succession expressed by many of his Southern friends. They assumed the coming death toll to number only in the thousands; Sherman predicted millions. Later, as a Union Army General, Sherman argued that victory by the Union in the Western theatre of the war would take a headcount so large -- and accurate as it turned out -- that he was suspected of having gone insane and relieved from duty for a time. His friend US Grant took his side. Sherman later said, “Grant stood by me when I was crazy; I stood by him when he was drunk.” Sherman foresaw that the outcome of sustained political stridency would be violence beyond the expectations of both North and South." CFP says : "Today, America may face a similar potential for violence that ranges beyond common expectations. The Left’s hatred of Trump may have, over these last two years, reached the requisite level of critical mass sufficient to provoke significant violence. Not a Civil War, but perhaps widespread civil disobedience with attendant violence." • America and Americans have never been afraid of opposition or its violence. Today is no different. We will vote. We will continue to help Make America Great Again. We will support our duly elected US President Trump. The ProgDems may take cynical elitist pleasure in calling us Deplorables and the Dregs of Society. But, they ain't seen nothin' yet !!!
