What Would You Like to See Declassified?
It appears that new Russiagate documents will be declassified and available to the public by Monday. What other documents would you like to have? I want to see everything about what Obama and other officials were doing on September 11-12, 2012.
Published in Foreign Policy
My file.
All dealings with the ccp and their affiliates with members of Congress, staff and family.
Everything except names of agents in the field.
All of Peter Strzok’s emails, phone call logs, and social media posts. If anyone should have the hammer come down on him, he is the one.
The JFK file they had a chance to release a couple years ago and didn’t.
Everything on the Patriot Act
I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you!
Could you maybe just give me a hint, and then slap me around a bit?
Just another day at the Boss Man’s house. https://youtu.be/FNkpIDBtC2c
How to choose among so many things? Ok, here’s one I’d like to see declassified: all the DoD, FBI, NTSB, and White House communications regarding TWA flight 800.
Hunter Biden’s laptop. The contents should be released and disseminated as soon as possible and as widely as can be accomplished, because sure enough it’s going to disappear or be destroyed just like Hillary’s hard-drives and mobile phones.
Trump needs to pardon Julian Assange while he is at it.
I’d like to know what he was doing in late 2020.

I was going to say Area 51, with tongue firmly in cheek, but wasn’t sure everyone would realize I was kidding! Kittens, awwww…
@caryn
Caryn, you do know that kittens run Area 51, don’t you?
Aliens/ Area 51.
Also whatever is on page 47. (Please tell me someone will get this reference)
The Iran deal.
Hillary’s 33,000 emails.
Would also like to know about Benghazi and Obama’s and Hillary’s responses/roles.
After 9/11 – did Bush let Osama’s family leave on a plane as is alleged. What did know about Saudis and what did we let them get away with. Same with the Pakistanis.
Anything to do with the Ukraine and Biden’s involvement, and how he came to be charged, very recently, for his bribery during Obama’s 2nd term, that the prosecutor he hated needed to go before US aid monies would be released.
Now?
He had four years to declassify this stuff and he does it now?
He had John Durham on the case for two years and no one ever issued a report?
He had video evidence of Mr Biden as VPOTUS shaking down a Ukranian official to the tune of threatening the loss of a Billion (with a B!) dollars and neither appointed a special prosecutor nor asked the Repubs in Congress to censure (or impeach)?
He knew Hilliary had kept her EMails on Huma Abedin’s (her Egyptian aide’s) computer and didn’t have the woman arrested and the computer seized?
He learned that Rep Swalwell was screwing a Chinese spy and did not have him arrested?
His DOJ had Jeffrey Epstein in their custody and they let him hang/be hanged? The SOB should have been under 24 hour armed guard at Bill Barr’s home. (I could go on, but my cardiologist is concerned about my hypertension.)
And he’s releasing this stuff NOW, after he’s been impeached for the second time over naught?
What the hell is wrong with this guy!?!? For four years I loved him and now in the last fortnight of his presidency he’s pushing it all to hell.
Is it from “National Treasure 2: The Dumb One”?
Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark
I think Bruce and RushBabe are responding to two different things: Bruce to page 47 (see #16) and RushBabe to the photo in #21. Amirite?
Why doesn’t the FBI run sting operations against members of Congress the way they did back in the 80s? Remember Korea and Saudi sting operations? Any files related to this.
Yes, I was answering the comment at #16. Nicholas Cage breaks into the National Archives and looks at the super-secret President’s Book, which contains all the hot skinny on every secret since George Washington. He has been told (by the President whom he kidnapped – like I said, the dumb one) how to find the book, and oh yeah, while you’re looking for the proof to solve the mystery of this movie, you might want to have a look at page 47. I think you’ll find that interesting.
They never tell us what was on page 47.
Thank you for getting the reference! Yes, it is dumb, but sometimes dumb can still be fun. I think the thing that bugs me the most about the plot is that the villain’s motivation never makes sense. He just sort of blackmails or frames Nicholas Cage into finding a lost city of gold. It’s, as you say, dumb.
But I do like the idea of a secret book for presidents, written by presidents.
Amiens.
Let’s say Trump declassifies a bunch of documents. If the bureaucracy doesn’t actually produce and release the documents, or they otherwise slow walk the actual declassifying process, can’t Biden just reclassify them and nobody (in the public) will have seen them?
The lead up to the invasion of Iraq and any other documents leading to the disastrous policy that led to that tragic and incompetent war.
And JFK files. For kicks.
