Trump Let the Dogs Out

Those responsible for the coup attempt against the president can run but they can no longer hide.

The Democrats, stumbling down the road to impeachment, were stunned by President Trump’s executive order on Thursday.

The order is in two parts. First, it directs the intelligence agencies to cooperate with AG Barr’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia counterintel investigation that was the vehicle used to spy on candidate Trump’s campaign and President Trump’s administration.

The second part of the order delegates to Barr the president’s authority to declassify — or reduce the level of classification of — anything that the intelligence agencies will give him.

Leaving on his trip to Japan Friday, Trump said “We want to be very transparent, so as you know, I declassified everything. We are exposing everything.” He specifically mentioned Barr would be looking at the involvement of several nations including the UK, Australia, and Ukraine.

Trump let the dogs out. The necessity for this action has been comprehensively clear for more than a year.

Predictably, the people who are at greatest risk of exposure and danger of indictment erupted at Trump’s order.

For example, Obama’s CIA chief, @JohnBrennan, told an interviewer,“I see it as a very, very serious and outrageous move on the part of Mr. Trump, once again, trampling on the statutory authorities of the DNI and the heads of the independent intelligence agencies.”

Brennan continued: “And it’s unclear to me what Mr. Barr is actually going to do. Is he investigating a crime? Well, what’s the predication of that crime?"

"Or he is just going to be looking for information… that Mr. Trump can just give to his defenders on the right and cherry-pick information that could be taken out of context?”

HAHAHAHAHA... The irony... 😂
