Trump Still Trying to Declassify Russia Info
November 11, 2020 at 4:30 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 45 Comments
President Trumps senior military and intelligence officials have been warning him strongly against declassifying information about Russia that his advisers say would compromise sensitive collection methods and anger key allies, the Washington Post reports.
An intense battle over this issue has raged within the administration in the days before and after the Nov. 3 presidential election. Trump and his allies want the information public because they believe it would rebut claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin supported Trump in 2016. That may sound like ancient history, but for Trump it remains ground zero the moment when his political problems began.
CIA Director Gina Haspel last month argued strongly at a White House meeting against disclosing the information, because she believed that doing so would violate her pledge to protect sources and methods.

(2,013 posts)It was actually a prank phone call from The Masked Avengers, two Canadian comedians. The hilarious transcript of their phone call is here:

Wouldn't it be outstanding if The Masked Avengersor other worthy impersonatorscould do the same thing with Trump right about now, except this time, call in impersonating Putin and a Russian translator? And record it . . . ?
I would love to know what those two scamps talk about on the phone these days.

And it is not only Russia and Putin who would benefit but Xe and Kim and all kinds of 'scamps' as you call them. People and countries all over the world. Trump puts himself before the welfare of millions. He always does.

(2,013 posts)I was just trying to think of a way to jolt Trump's followers out of their slavish loyalty to him. If they could actually hear the two of them conspiring, maybe they would see the light. But if his calling members of the military "suckers" and "losers" didn't do it, I suppose nothing would.
