Why it’s time for Trump to play his ace in the hole

[CrusaderFrank]

2 years and still the only tie between Putin and Trump.

Meanwhile, DOJ and FGPS were literally married

He could, in an instant, strike a blow for accountability and transparency by ordering the Justice Department to give Congress everything it wants, subject to very limited restrictions.

Ahem...give 'Congress' everything it wants, or just Nunes and Jordan? What if 'Congress' asks for Trump's tax returns or an accounting of billings to the government for Trump family facilities used as national business sites, such as Mar-A-Lago or Bedminster for entertaining foreign dignitaries? That transparency?

Darkman, you don't want transparency any more than Trump does. Be careful what you ask for. It is the last thing you want.

Embarrassment does not qualify as a reason for withholding information.

Almost certainly, the bias against Trump and in favor of Clinton would be glaring if the document troves were exposed to the disinfectant of sunshine. That would make the move a political bonus for Trump.

Even more important, it would set a dramatic precedent for a more open government, something Trump promised to deliver. Secrecy is an important part of the deep state’s permanent power and, when invoked to extremes by law enforcement, veers toward a police state. Trump should make sure he is its last victim.

Throw open the doors, Mr. President, and turn history’s page toward openness. Today would be a great day to start.

Sure play the ace in the hole. Why should a president respect the integrity of an ongoing investigation anyways? I'm sure that using executive privilege in order to taint an investigation some more wouldn't matter.

How is the release of documents publicly going to taint an investigation unless those documents were being ignored by the investigation?

By giving information on the avenues the prosecution is pursuing those people who are the target of the investigation can take steps to make evidence disappear or they can coordinate their explanation for that evidence or can construe an alibi. That's 3 ways. A fourth is that potential jurors can be influenced by the undoubtedly political way the available information would be leaked.

Yeah, except the first three ways are already illegal. Have a nice day, libtard!

Let me break it down for you: Trump has no ace in no hole.

If he did, he would have already played it or have his dear waterboy Nunez play it.

Failed plays so far:

Wire Gate
Unmask Gate
FISA Gate
Spy Gate

He had his ace in many holes in his 70+ years ....

 

[bendog]

Guliani is delaying having trump testify so he and trump can say Mueller is going on too long with his investigation.

These two idiots are a perfect match for each other.

Do you think Mueller has any interest in interviewing Trump beyond being able to say "I fairly gave him the opportunity to explain why he did the following...."?

Libs hate law and order.

Really? So you have personal knowledge and proof that tens of millions of American liberals - almost none of whom you have ever met - all 'hate law and order'.
You must...because you said it in a matter-of-fact manner.

So where is this link to this unbiased, factual proof you have that 'Libs hate law and order'?

Sanctuary cities?

Who one nominates does not prove what one believes something. They could have nominated her for other reasons.
Also, not all liberals nominated - or even voted for - Clinton.

Rocket I very much suspect you won't get anything resembling proof. I long since have noticed that people who give blanket statements in a place like this, both left and right aren't interested in proving anything. They are here to spout talking points, like stating something makes it true by default. You can't ask someone who has no capacity for self doubt to doubt themselves. I might be wrong here but I seriously doubt it.

No collusion, which is not even illegal in any of those you mentioned. Pushing up a rope would be just as effective, but you knew that.

So you are saying that an elected official by virtue of getting elected would be incapable of breaking the law? I guess you haven't followed politics very well. Did Nixon being the president prevent him from obstructing justice? Did Clinton being president prevent him from lying to congress? And this is just the office of president. Their are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people who took an oath to uphold the law and ended up breaking it.

Ahem...give 'Congress' everything it wants, or just Nunes and Jordan? What if 'Congress' asks for Trump's tax returns or an accounting of billings to the government for Trump family facilities used as national business sites, such as Mar-A-Lago or Bedminster for entertaining foreign dignitaries? That transparency?

Darkman, you don't want transparency any more than Trump does. Be careful what you ask for. It is the last thing you want.
