Dems First Demanded Trump Declassify Russian Documents. When He Agrees, They Change Their Tune. Whose Coverup Is This?

What are they trying to hide?

Before leaving on his trip to be the first world leader to meet Japan's new emperor President Trump issued a directive giving Attorney General William Barr broad authority to declassify documents related to the Trump-Russia conspiracy.

Release of the documents should reveal where the genesis of the Trump-Russia investigation began and how agencies relied on the infamous Steele Dossier and what steps were taken by Obama political appointees. The call should have been welcomed by Democrats who in the past have demanded just that:

Real Clear Politics: Nearly two years ago, when Trump accused Susan Rice, Obama’s national security adviser, of engaging in the “unmasking” of U.S. persons as part of the counter-intelligence probe, a potentially criminal act, Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff said he should show proof that it occurred.

“If he’s going to make accusations of criminality against anyone, he needs to show evidence to support that kind of charge,” the then-ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee said at the time.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, now a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, went further, arguing that “if the president wants to say that Susan Rice committed a crime, he has the power to declassify. No one else does.”

Now, Schiff, Swalwell and other Democrats who have routinely demanded the release of classified information if it might damage Trump are saying Trump's order to declassify is the worst thing they have ever heard.  Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) says it is "far worse" than what Russia did during the 2016 election.


Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee who previously demanded Trump declassify now says:"Trump and Barr conspire to weaponize law enforcement and classified information against their political enemies. The coverup has entered a new and dangerous phase. This is un-American."

Obviously Schiff knows what is in those classified reports and it's not going to make him or the Democrats look good. We may finally learn just how far the Obama Administration was willing to go to "weaponize" law enforcement.

And Rep. Swalwell (D-CA) says the exposure of Obama Administration wrong doing will "make us less safe." Every previous claim that release of this information would damage national security has been proven false. But that won't stop Swalwell and others from trying the lie again.

The truth is coming out and the rats are jumping the ship!
