PRESIDENT TRUMP BLINDSIDES DEMOCRATS – LEAVES HILLARY AND HER DIRTY HELPERS 'DEVASTATED'
President Trump gave an in-depth interview to the New York Post.
In it, he laid it on the table for the Democrats and blindsided them.
If they insist on the never-ending probes and harassment against him and his administration,
he's going to make them pay a very heavy price.
The steps he would take would stun the Democrats and especially Hillary Clinton and her minions.
Trump said that he would declassify FISA warrant applications and other documents from Robert
Mueller's probe.
This would allegedly show a conspiracy between the FBI, the DOJ and the Clinton campaign
in order to set Trump up and stop him from being president.
The president is not one to show his cards early however and will only out the documents
when they are needed.
Trump is a scrapper – he'll give as good or better than he gets and the Democrats are
about to find that out.
The New York Post has more on this high stakes game:
In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with The Post, President Trump said Wednesday that
if House Democrats launched probes into his administration — which he called "presidential
harassment" — they'd pay a heavy price.
"If they go down the presidential harassment track, if they want to go and harass the president
and the administration, I think that would be the best thing that would happen to me.
I'm a counter-puncher and I will hit them so hard they'd never been hit like that,"
he said during a 36-minute Oval Office sitdown.
The commander-in-chief said he could declassify FISA warrant applications and other documents
from Robert Mueller's probe — and predicted the disclosure would expose the FBI, the Justice
Department, and the Clinton campaign as being in cahoots to set him up.
"I think that would help my campaign.
If they want to play tough, I will do it.
They will see how devastating those pages are."
But Trump told The Post he wanted to save the documents until they were needed.
"It's much more powerful if I do it then," Trump said, "because if we had done it already,
it would already be yesterday's news."
Trump revealed his playbook just as Democrats are set to take over House committeesin January
where they are poised to investigate his potential business conflicts of interests, tax returns,
Russia dealings and more.
With the GOP losing power in January, its congressional investigations into alleged
Department of Justice misconduct in launching the Russia probe is expected to fizzle out.
In September, a group of Trump allies in the House – led by Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York
– called on Trump to declassify scores of Justice Department documents they believe
undercut the start of the Russia investigation and show bias against Trump.
The documents include Justice officials' request to surveil Trump campaign adviser
Carter Page and memos on DOJ official Bruce Ohr's interactions with Christopher Steele,
the author of a controversial dossier that alleged Trump ties with Russia.
Trump initially agreed to declassify the documents, including text messages sent by former FBI
officials James Comey, Andrew G. McCabe as well as Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Ohr. Trump
allies believe the revelations will show favoritism toward Hillary Clinton and a plot to take
down Trump.
Trump then reversed course, citing the need for further review and concern of US allies.
Trump added Wednesday that his lawyer Emmet Flood thought it would be better politically
to wait.
"He didn't want me to do it yet, because I can save it," Trump said.
The president also pushed back on the notion that all the Justice Department documents
should eventually be released for the sake of transparency.
"Some things maybe the public shouldn't see because they are so bad," Trump said,
making clear it wasn't damaging to him, but to others.
"Maybe it's better that the public not see what's been going
on
with
this country."
