New York Times: Potential Clash Over Secrets Looms Between Justice Dept. and C.I.A.
WASHINGTON — President Trump’s order allowing Attorney General William P. Barr to declassify any intelligence that led to the Russia investigation sets up a potential confrontation with the C.I.A. It effectively strips the agency of its most critical power: choosing which secrets it shares and which ones remain hidden.
Mr. Trump said on Friday that he wanted Mr. Barr to “get to the bottom” of what the intelligence agencies knew about the investigation into his campaign. He promised, “We’re exposing everything.”
The president raised questions about C.I.A. involvement in the origins of the Russia investigation, and other officials said Mr. Barr wanted to learn more about sources in Russia, including a key informant who helped the C.I.A. conclude that President Vladimir V. Putin ordered the intrusion on the 2016 election. Mr. Trump also invoked two close allies, Australia and Britain, telling reporters he wanted the attorney general to examine their roles in sharing intelligence about Russia’s interference.

WNU Editor: Russia-Gate occupied the U.S. media and political landscape for two years. If the CIA played a role in this entire affair, they should permit the Justice Department to declassify all relevant information. My prediction. If President Trump wants it declassified, they will.

It will be especially joyful to see Meuller go to prison after he kept 4 innocent men in prison to protect the Murderer White Bulger.
dumbest remarks thus far for the year
Yeah it is dumb, because that many Democrats must not go to prison. The establishment would not allow it.
Samantha Power's predecessor unmasked 3 people. Samantha herself beat that by 2 orders of magnitude with over 300. She was a busy, busy girl. It has been rightly called a "freakish rate".
Smart money is that their will be a few fall guys or scapegoats.
After all we cannot indict or convict the 1st black female AG. That would be racist. Whether she committed the crime is immaterial. It is the stance that matters.
What is apparent Anon is that you are from Saint Petersburg or you are a budding young fascist. Which town or suburb do you want to be gauleiter of?
