Make the Flynn Tape Public -Team Trump turns an empty narrative into a major scandal

Re: Make the Flynn Tape Public -Team Trump turns an empty narrative into a major scan

Your link doesn't say anything about only the President declassifying anything after reading a few thousand words and googling declassify on the site. . I'm not going to read 10,000 words. If it's there, and you read it, please copy paste for us.

It makes no sense at all that only the President can declassify.

?...it's right in the first paragraph.

This Order prescribes a uniform system for classifying, declassifying, and
safeguarding national security information
. It recognizes that it is
essential that the public be informed concerning the activities of its
Government, but that the interests of the United States and its citizens
require that certain information concerning the national defense and
foreign relations be protected against unauthorized disclosure.
Information may not be classified under this Order unless its disclosure
reasonably could be expected to cause damage to the national security.
NOW, by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and
laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

The classification authority is the President via EO.
 
Re: Make the Flynn Tape Public -Team Trump turns an empty narrative into a major scan

He is president, but that doesn't make him any less an asshole in chief.

I've already stated aqs such because it could shows ties that are relevant. Your support of the birther in chief is funny as hell and yes, you do support him. It's ok, I would be embarrassed like you to say you support him as well.
I DO support him President. the same as I supported Bill Clinton as MY commander in chief for the 8 years I served with him AS my Commander in Chief. The same why I support Obama as president. And if he actually ****s up...I will absolutely call him out on it, just as I did Bush. In the meantime...I will just enjoy watching you and people like you in your unhinged hate filled tirades present yourself as fools.

No, that's not right FishKing. There is nothing in that first paragraph that says the president is responsible for declassifying information. My GOD, he couldn't do anything else! You are interpreting it wrong.

He has ****ed up and you haven't called him on ****, so spare me the nonsense.

He appointed non liberals to his cabinet that will help carry out his agenda and a SCOTUS judge who believes in the constitution as written.

Isn't that enough for you?:lol:

Re: Make the Flynn Tape Public -Team Trump turns an empty narrative into a major scan

Are you kidding me, your asshole in chief Trump DEMANDED to see Obama's birth certificate even though Obama has already filed the necessary paperwork and Hawaii had certified it. He then went on for YEARS saying Obama faked his birth certificate.

How about because every other president has released it, what does he have to hide that Trump and you are afraid of?

Your problem, and the left's biggest problem, is that if everyone has horns on their heads, then everyone does, and it begins to look like your are unable to adapt to change and are basically FOS everywhere.
 
Re: Make the Flynn Tape Public -Team Trump turns an empty narrative into a major scan

Obama expanded the power of intelligence agencies all 16 just a couple of weeks before he left office in how they can gather information on Americans and share that information with other agencies without protecting the names of the innocent that was the practice prior just a couple of weeks before he left office. With today's news that move really is starting to look like this was all done to sabotage the new administration and get rid of Flynn.

That seems amazing to me. How does one man, even a President, have the legal authority to take away the rights of individuals? Would be bad enough if it was legislated but at least then it would be widely known and you could get at your Congress Critter and make it hot for him/her if they voted for such a move.
 
Re: Make the Flynn Tape Public -Team Trump turns an empty narrative into a major scan

What a weird post. A "conspiracy?" I think we've been pretty open about our desire to tank this administration. Unless you think that the largest protest in US history against Trump was done in secret?

Can we also put to rest, then, the nonsense about Mitch McConnell's statement that the Republicans wanted President Obama to be a one term President and how that was scandalous and the only reason why Obama was such a disaster?
 
Re: Make the Flynn Tape Public -Team Trump turns an empty narrative into a major scan

This is an accurate statement.

But Flynn's subterfuge in hiding his conversation may indicate there is indeed something untoward he's trying to cover-up.

Which is why there needs to be an investigation, or at least a release of the transcript (redacted or otherwise). There's no reason to not have transparency here, letting this fester and cause unrest.

But I'll add one more comment: Flynn's security clearance was revoked yesterday. That's a big deal, IMO.

I do not necessarily "need" to hear the tapes....but I would my representatives to have access to them and discuss how they were obtained.

But realistically, is it about what Flynn said, or whether he was being dishonest with the VP?

No. Next question?
 
Re: Make the Flynn Tape Public -Team Trump turns an empty narrative into a major scan

Doesn't the president have the power to declassify intelligence?
Release the tape, (tapes) and while at it release the documents on the Iran deal that not even most of Congress can view.

I'm a bit late on this, but yeah - it's the content of the conversation.

I'd like to know exactly what transpired between him & the Russian intelligence guys.
 
Re: Make the Flynn Tape Public -Team Trump turns an empty narrative into a major scan

Well on one hand I'm kind of surprised it hasn't been leaked already. On the other hand I guess that could probably reveal the source of the leak a lot more specifically.

The source is American. That's a given. If it's an American who works for one of our intel agencies (pretty much a given) then he and/or she needs to be exposed and prosecuted.

Conversely, if the conversation reveals, as has been intimated, a Trump plot to dispose of US interests in favor of delivering our nation to Russia, that should also be exposed.

The leaker is almost certainly an intelligence customer who was briefed on the transcript, not an intelligence officer in possession of it. That's why the tape or transcript has not leaked; it's in safe intelligence professional hands.
