WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says several close allies of the United States have called to raise concerns about his decision to declassified a trove of documents related to the early days of the FBI’s Russia investigation.
Asked for a status update during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity in Las Vegas, Trump said: “Well, we’re moving along.”
But he said his administration was “also dealing with foreign countries that do have a problem” and received calls Thursday from two “very good allies.” He said: “We do have to respect their wishes. But it’ll come out.”
Trump on Monday ordered declassification of a host of documents, including text messages of several FBI and Justice Department officials and a portion of a secret surveillance warrant application.
A review is currently underway.
Somewhere in the narrow time frame between pretty soon and already happened we’re going to see intelligence from our former allies just dry up. Terrorist chatter, strategic military buildups, threats of any kind will be out there and they just won’t tell us for fear of having their own assets compromised. But what the hey, my retirement fund’s up 8 percent this year!
ETA The part about the retirement fund is an attempt at a joke. I was wiped out in '08 and am still rebuilding. The joke, to be painfully clear, is that some people look past the obvious horrors of this administration and note that they’re doing OK personally so whatevs.
Shorter tRump:
We don’t need no stinking Allies.
Bottom line is that keeping tRump out of jail is more important than any ally
I get it… me too, but I am sure we would both gladly give up the increase to get rid of the iDJiT
What a buffoon! I can just imagine Hannity telling him to ignore our allies because “clearly they’re part of the deep state, too!” I’m embarrassed I was ever a Republican!
If you are talking about more than 20 years ago you really never were a republican in the eyes of today’s GOP
