When The President Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal

FoxNews;

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Tuesday declassified documents that revealed former CIA Director John Brennan briefed former President Obama on Hillary Clinton’s purported “plan” to tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server” ahead of the 2016 presidential election, Fox News has learned.
 
Ratcliffe declassified Brennan’s handwritten notes – which were taken after he briefed Obama on the intelligence the CIA received – and a CIA memo, which revealed that officials referred the matter to the FBI for potential investigative action.
 
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence transmitted the declassified documents to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees on Tuesday afternoon.
 
“Today, at the direction of President Trump, I declassified additional documents relevant to ongoing Congressional oversight and investigative activities,” Ratcliffe said in a statement to Fox News Tuesday.
 
A source familiar with the documents explained that Brennan’s handwritten notes were taken after briefing Obama on the matter.

  1. and then Trey Gowdy had Vince Foster’s body exhumed , there were 2 bullet holes in the back of the scull

  2. Meanwhile, the big news story for the globalist media is how hilarious it is that the Zionist Stephen Miller got Wuhan flu.

    They haven’t laughed so hard since Chrystia Freeland shared her collection of Holocaust jokes.

  3. You know what would be earth shattering NEWS? If anyone besides FOX reported on this. Till then… YAWN.

    1. They report what they’re paid to report.

      What do their paymasters want reported?

      1. Stephen Miller has Wuhan flu and it serves the little Yid right.

      2. Some Canadian actor nobody had ever heard of died of Wuhan flu months ago. His wife blames the president for taking away her ATM, because the president had the gall to get Wuhan flu and live.

      3. There’s less than a month to go before Senile Joe will somehow beat Trump by 15 points, and the Yids have till January 20 to choose between hell and Tel Aviv, because the African-American community slavery reparations won’t pay for themselves.

    2. You know what would be earth shattering news?
      Criminal charges against Clinton, Barry Soetoro, Brennan, Comey and Clapper, on the same day, same news conference.
      Otherwise, it’s ignored and sunk down the memory hole.

  4. Intel in letter is unverified, doesn’t show Clinton planned ‘Russia hoax’
    CLAIM: A declassified letter from the United States Director of National Intelligence proves that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton planned the “Russia hoax” against Trump in 2016.

    AP’S ASSESSMENT: False.
    The letter contains unverified Russian intelligence information and some lawmakers have criticized its release as a political move. The letter explains that in 2016, Russian intelligence had alleged that Clinton “had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal” against Trump. The document also clearly states that American intelligence officials do not know whether this claim is accurate, an exaggeration, or a lie.
    THE FACTS: …

    1. The AP has responded to the DNI’s declassified release from a week ago. Today, we now have a new document that includes Brennan’s hand written comments on the actual document which further supports that this is real. Hillary Russia Russia Hoax was approved by Obama to change the channel from her embarrassing server problems. AP will no doubt pretend that this release never happened. The Media are a Virus.

    2. So says the Associated Press….??
      LMFAO…Get real. They are about as trustworthy as CNN or for that matter ANY Western. Hemisphere MSM OUtlet. EVERY LAST one of them Marxist infused BASTARDS with a hate on for Donald Trump.

  5. Trump tweeted that he has declassified ALL docs no redactions about an hour ago.

    No one is picking it up?

    1. He authorized a while ago, according to the story, and is POed that official Washington is dragging its feet in actually doing the release.

      I had high hopes when I saw the first mention, but of my usual go-to sources, only Fox News picked this up.

  6. Surely this crap is way worse than Watergate. The press seems curiously uninterested — a clear signal that the system is corrupt and the media are enablers.

  7. Will this time make a dofference?

    NO.

    They must appear to be doing something about it.

    1. Thanks for saving me the trouble of writing that. One thing they need: Republican party support. If the Republicans lead with this, loudly, early, late, and often, that could change things and give us some pleasurable frog-march videos.

      But rather than revenge, we should allow them to surrender with their attorneys. Then make campaign ads highlighting the Democrats midnight Stasi tactics.

  8. I just want to get out ahead of the curve and say Julian Assange didn’t kill himself.

  9. And is anyone surprised? News Flash in an hour! “covid has mentally unbalanced Trump and he himself wrote all these soon to be released memos etc.” You wanna bet the left won’t try to blame Trump for planning this plot against himself. With the left emptying out prisons across the country there should be lots of available cells for those who have tried to overthrow the President. Ya right, time served=zero.
