Hillary is so yesterday, right?  But a current candidate seems to have had a hand in this...

 I wonder is there any way to disqualify candidate Biden if his knowledge of the hoax can be proven before Nov 3rd?

Apparently telling repeated lies about his education isn't enough for the Dems to sack him, although virtually any other public servant would be sacked for the same thing.  But in the Dems, that apparently qualifies you for leadership.

Hand in what?

Time to implement the 25th the ramblings of POTUS over the last few days underscores the cries from HIS SON for intervention are justified. Numerous nonsensical tweets contradicting each other and now the claim God gave him Covid 19 to enlighten him leaves nothing to the imagination that poor old Donald need a lot of psychiatric help, sure he and his sycophants can blame the steroids when the rest of us know this is not just a recent occurrence

His face has turned from Orange to Red, has that something to do with

the experimental drugs he has been taken........and what about his wife

i hear nothing about how she is doing,

trump is the president, the commander-in-chief.  he has unlimited authorization to declassify AND release any and all secret stuff.

 

that he has twice "authorized" declassification is meaningless.  this is political grandstanding before the election.

 

he has the authority to ORDER the release the unredacted documents.  now.

 

the fact that he doesn't is telling.  just more "the deep state wouldn't do it" bs to explain away why he's losing/lost the election.

 

 

c'mon, mr. president, ORDER the release...........if you dare.

 

 

 

and how about releasing both obama's birth certificate AND your taxes while you're at it!

"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 wrote on Twitter.

Which doesn't mean diddly.  It's not an order, so no one in the FBI, CIA, etc will actually act on it.
Well, unless you consider this to be "declassified."  <laughs>

Trump is just trying to get ahead of what he was going to be ordered to do any day now.

Trump's brilliance is that when he goes low, they go high. If someone goes low you'd better go low too.

And add the Clinton emails which nobody is asking him to release.

If the evidence is do damning, why, after four years, have they not, err "locked her up"?

It's not just about this either, it's also Democrat leadership using the FBI, to spy on the Trump campaign (to find dirt-throwing ammo for Hillary). Biden was in his 2nd VP term at the time...

 

I'm glad he ordered no redactions ????. All the swamp lies & machinations need to come to light, regardless of which side of the aisle they originated from.

and could Trump be disqualified for spreading the virus while infectious - pretending to be tested every single day without providing the results - same same his tax returns   

Cotton has White House aspirations.  If DT were to pass on Tom Cotton would be among the first of the many GOP rodents to climb over the corpse.  Pompeo has the weight on him.

The reality is more simple than your conspiracy theory. The FBI opened an investigation because there was interference (or at least attempt to interfere) by Russia. If needed, it has been confirmed once more by the Repub. lead Senate committee.

Actually he did not order anything. He "authorized" something that a Judge will compel him to do anyway (just in case you did not read a few posts in this thread, on the same page as your post).

Trump is just trying to get ahead of what he was going to be ordered to do any day now. 

He also timed the release for what he hopes will be maximum impact on the election:  Four weeks is time enough for spin and outrageous accusations, but maybe not enough time to go through the documents and see what really did or did not happen.

 

As stevenl asked in post #8, where are all the cries of suspicious timing from the Trump fans?

Going to be interesting times ahead. With luck might even be some indictments.

Bush IMO united the county only by going to war, or perhaps Al Qaeda did by flying into the towers. IMO Obama did not unify the country. IMO the US is so divided between the coasts and the center that it's never going to be possible to be a unifier as long as the present political system exists.

Maybe so, but there could be less divisions. Trump is about having more divisions.
