Trump Hands Declassification Over To Barr

Trump orders declassification of intelligence in Russia probe origins investigation

President Trump ordered the declassification Thursday night of certain intelligence to aid Attorney General William Barr in his investigation of the origins of government spying on the Trump presidential campaign in 2016.

In a directive to the CIA, the Director of National Intelligence, the Pentagon and several other federal agencies, Mr. Trump said Mr. Barr has the authority to declassify or downgrade “information or intelligence that relates to the attorney general’s review.”

The president directed the agencies to “promptly provide such assistance and information as the attorney general may request in connection with that review.”

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the order “will help ensure that all Americans learn the truth about the events that occurred, and the actions that were taken, during the last presidential election and will restore confidence in our public institutions.”

Mrs. Sanders said the attorney general has been delegated “full and complete authority to declassify information pertaining to this investigation, in accordance with the long-established standards for handling classified information.”

Mr. Barr has begun a probe of how and why the FBI started a counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign code-named “Crossfire Hurricane” in the summer of 2016 to determine whether campaign officials were conspiring with Russians to meddle in the election. The FBI probe included wiretaps on a Trump campaign official.

That probe three years ago evolved into special counsel Robert Mueller’s sprawling, $35 million investigation that ultimately found no evidence of collusion between the campaign and Moscow.

The attorney general said last week that his new investigation is necessary to make sure that top federal law enforcement officials weren’t trying to “put their thumb on the scale” in the 2016 presidential election. Mr. Barr has appointed John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, to conduct the inquiry.

The president reiterated Thursday that he believes several former Obama administration officials committed treason by spying on his campaign.

“They have unsuccessfully tried to take down the wrong person,” Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House.

Declassification: Some Mid-day Fallout From Trump’s Memo to Barr

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends)

"....BNL NEWS @BreakingNLive BREAKING: U.K., Italian and Australian Government stand strongly against Joseph Mifsud, Alexander Downer & Stefan Halper’s actions against former Trump official Papadopoulos and are now actively cooperating with the Trump administration to investigate the FBI.

BNL NEWS @BreakingNLive BREAKING NEWS: FBI dropped $10,000 in cash in George Papadopoulos lap hoping he would accept and take the money. He didn't. But FBI agents nonetheless pounced, checked all of his bags, found no money - Fox

That is gigantic news, and if you’re wondering why skunks like Schiff have now gone into full-blown lunatic panic mode, there you go. We have to remember that Downer and Halper and Mifsud were all operatives for multiple nations’ intelligence agencies, including those three countries. There is already ample evidence in the public record that Downer was in fact put up to his effort to entrap George Papadopoulous as an agent of the Aussie government, and that both the UK and Italian intelligence agencies cooperated with Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele – himself a former UK agent – in the compilation of the phony Steel Dossier at the behest of the DNC and the Pantsuit Princess Campaign.

Also, note that this news comes in the wake of the “shocking” election of a new, nationalist government in Australia, the firing of 5 top intelligence officials in Italy, and the abrupt resignation of UK Prime Minister Theresa May. In fact, UK media reports indicate that May reached her final resignation decision just a couple of hours before President Trump sent his authorizing memorandum over to Attorney General Barr Thursday afternoon.

Just a guess, but I’m sure the President would have made a courtesy call to Ms. May – who has fierece opposed the declassification of documents that will further-implicate British intelligence in the Obama spying operations – prior to sending that memo.

If you believe all of this taking place simultaneously is mere coincidence, give me a call. I have some wonderful Texas Hill Country property that’s been on the market for three years that I’d love to talk with you about.

That is all.
