Trump Says He Has Declassified Documents Related to Russia, Clinton Email Probes

/2 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. President Trump on Tuesday said he had declassified all documents tied to federal probes into Russian interference in the 2016 election and Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server for government emails.

“I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents pertaining to the single greatest political CRIME in American History, the Russia Hoax. Likewise, the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal. No redactions!” Trump tweeted.

The president’s announcement came after National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe declassified documents that revealed ex-CIA Director John Brennan had briefed former President Obama on a claim that Clinton ordered “a campaign plan to stir up a scandal” by linking Trump to Russia in 2016.

Senators Press FBI to Stop Stonewalling Crossfire Hurricane Investigation Subpoenas

By The Federalist. Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Ron Johnson and Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee Charles Grassley wrote to FBI Director Christopher Wray on Monday requesting that he produce all of the information “relating to several unanswered or incomplete responses to ongoing oversight” by various Senate committees by Oct. 6.

The letter comes as the Russian collusion hoax meant to indict President Donald Trump peddled by Democrats and the mainstream media continues to crumble.

In the letter, the senators reprimand the FBI director for his agency’s three specific failures to provide already requested and subpoenaed information, including documents and messages to their committees beginning in April related to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. This evidence, the letter explains, has “remained hidden for too long,” especially since “public interest in these records is significant.”

In April, the Senate “requested all intelligence records, foreign or domestic, received or reviewed by the Crossfire Hurricane team, as well as all FBI records about those intelligence products.” The senators say the FBI ignored the request, which acknowledged the faults of the Steele dossier on which the surveillance of Trump was supposedly based, and instead pointed the Senate to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

No Virus Aide Bill and No Vaccine Before the Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Washington Examiner. President Trump will have neither a new coronavirus aid bill nor a vaccine before the election.

Trump announced Tuesday that he has stopped negotiations with Speaker Nancy Pelosi, tweeting that she “is not negotiating in good faith.” Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin had apparently reached an impasse over the amount of the aid package. Pelosi wanted $2.4 trillion, while Mnuchin had offered $1.6 trillion.

Trump’s announcement means there won’t be a new round of stimulus checks or more money for schools, day care, or coronavirus-related health costs between now and next year. The president said he will pass a major stimulus bill after he wins reelection.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters Tuesday he supports Trump’s move to end the aid talks. (Read more from “No Virus Aide Bill and No Vaccine Before the Election” HERE)

2nd Stimulus Checks: Trump Halts Coronavirus Relief Talks Until After Nov. 3 Election

By KTLA 5. President Donald Trump on Tuesday called an abrupt end to negotiations with Democrats over additional COVID-19 relief, delaying action until after the election despite ominous warnings from his own Federal Reserve chairman about the deteriorating conditions in the economy. . .

Trump’s move came immediately after he spoke with the top GOP leaders in Congress, who had been warily watching talks between Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Pelosi. Many Senate Republicans had signaled they would not be willing to go along with any stimulus legislation that topped $1 trillion, and GOP aides had been privately dismissive of the prospects for a deal.

Just on Saturday, tweeting from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Trump said, “OUR GREAT USA WANTS & NEEDS STIMULUS. WORK TOGETHER AND GET IT DONE.” But any Pelosi-sponsored agreement of close to $2 trillion raised the potential of a GOP revolt if it came to a vote.

Last week, the White House said it was backing a $400 per week pandemic jobless benefit and dangled the possibility of a COVID-19 relief bill of $1.6 trillion. But that offer was rejected by Pelosi, who continued to take a hard line in the talks, including insisting on repeal of a $254 billion GOP business tax break passed in the March package as a way to finance additional relief.

Twitter, Facebook Censor Factual Post by President Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tech giants Twitter and Facebook both cracked down on President Trump comparing COVID-19 to the seasonal flu on Tuesday, resulting in the president calling for a repeal of Section 230.

“Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu,” Trump tweeted. “Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!”

Twitter put up a warning that shields the tweet from followers: “This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.”

Trump’s followers had to select “view” in order to see the message that was covered by Twitter’s warning. . .

Shortly after Trump was censored by both Facebook and Twitter, Trump tweeted, “REPEAL SECTION 230!!!”

By New York Post. President Trump will be released from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and return to the White House on Monday evening after receiving three days of treatment for the coronavirus, his doctors said.

Conspiracy Theories Fly on Left and Right Over Trump Contracting Coronavirus

By Washington Examiner. Conspiracy theories are swirling following President Trump’s announcement that he tested positive for the coronavirus.

Trump could be faking his coronavirus diagnosis in order to avoid participating in another debate against Joe Biden. Or maybe he was deliberately exposed to it by a malicious actor at Tuesday’s debate against the Democratic presidential nominee.

He’s faking it in order to distract from the election — or to garner sympathy for himself. Or maybe, this is part of a grand QAnon plan to save the president from the deep state. . .

With a high-stakes election on the line and Trump being pulled off the campaign trail due to contracting the coronavirus, neither the Left nor the Right had a shortage of suspicion of foul play when it came to Trump announcing a positive test result.

Former Republican congressional candidate-turned- Newsmax commentator DeAnna Lorraine floated the idea that a leftist deliberately infected Trump.

Vice President Pence remains in good health and wishes the Trumps well in their recovery.”

WATCH: Devin Nunes Tears Into Adam Schiff at Intel Committee Hearing

/1 Comment/in , , /by

“Welcome to another hearing of the Trump impeachment committee,” Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) quipped during his opening statement at a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Friday.

Adam Schiff (D-CA) convened Friday’s meeting to question Joseph B. Maher, the Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis. According to the chairman, Maher has been “preventing a lawful Intelligence Community whistleblower—the former head of an Intelligence Community element—from providing classified testimony to the Committee by delaying security clearances for his attorneys.” That whistleblower leveled several allegations against the agency, including that they “suppressed intelligence reports about Russia’s election interference and efforts to modify intelligence assessments to match Trump’s rhetoric on white supremacy, Antifa, and terrorism threats at the border.” He alleged that the DHS told him to stop reporting on the Russian threat to the U.S. election because it “made President Trump look bad.” The White House and the DHS denied all allegations.

Nunes noted that the Democrats called the whistleblower in question a liar just a few weeks before he filed this complaint. But now, they take him as their word as their “star witness.”

The ranking member accused his Democratic colleagues of dragging the panel through another investigation hoping that they’ll find the “holy grail of scandals that finally gets rid of Trump without beating him in the election.” They are, Nunes said, “sick fantasies.”

CIA Director Allegedly Banking on Trump Loss to Keep Russiagate Documents Hidden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director Gina Haspel is personally blocking the declassification and release of key Russiagate documents in the hopes that President Donald Trump will lose his re-election bid, multiple senior U.S. officials told The Federalist. The officials said Haspel, who served under former CIA Director John Brennan as the spy agency’s station chief in London in 2016 and 2017, is concerned that the declassification and release of documents detailing what the CIA was doing during the 2016 election and the 2017 transition could embarrass the CIA and potentially even implicate Haspel herself.

“Haspel and [FBI Director Christopher] Wray both want Trump to lose, because it’s the only chance they have of keeping their jobs,” one senior intelligence official told The Federalist. “They’re banking on Biden winning and keeping them where they are.” . . .

Officials also accused Haspel of repeatedly lying to the White House about the status of documents that are in the pipeline for declassification and release. These officials said that Haspel has consistently provided baseless excuses for her failure to produce certain documents, falsely claiming that she can’t physically locate documents, or that her agency doesn’t technically own them and therefore cannot release them.

“Haspel has repeatedly lied to the president about the status of documents to be declassified,” one intelligence community source said. “She will claim they don’t know where they are, or which agency technically owns them, and then we’ll find out she had them the entire time and just didn’t want them to see the light of day.” (Read more from “CIA Director Allegedly Banking on Trump Loss to Keep Russiagate Documents Hidden” HERE)

VP Pence Steps Onto Center Stage With Trump Hospitalized

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Mike Pence flies to Salt Lake City, Utah, on Monday as he prepares for his biggest role yet — becoming the face of President Trump’s reelection campaign.

With the president laid low by the coronavirus, his deputy is stepping up as campaign officials hastily rejig plans for the final month before Election Day with “Operation MAGA,” deploying Pence and the Trump family in a new front line.

Analysts wonder whether they can replace the charismatic presence of the campaign’s biggest asset and whether the next in line to the presidency should even be out on the road. . .

On Wednesday, Pence steps fully into the spotlight with the vice presidential debate in Salt Lake City, turning what would have been a sideshow into the week’s big political event. . .

It means the man who has frequently been pressed into service in a supporting role — carrying out the sort of retail politics that Trump avoids, or acting as a bridge to some evangelical voters and the traditional conservatives who have never been entirely comfortable with a thrice-married reality TV star as their president — moves to center stage.
