I see this statement as that indicating a judge who if frustrated by the blatant disdain for the rule of law and shattering of norms exhibited by this administration, and is trying to hoist him on his own petard.
"If you are going to claim that there is a deep state conspiracy that is preventing your actions from being followed, then you can’t hide behind them and say they speak for you. "
At some point he was called out on that and he replied by telling the reporter something to the effect of ‘I said it would be out in weeks, but I didn’t say how many weeks.’ That’s some grade school BS right there.
As usual, the Blowhard-in-Chief shot his mouth off without understanding the meaning. What he really meant to say was “I’ve told Billy Barr he can look at the documents to see if he can dig up any political dirt that I can use for my re-election.”
“I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents pertaining to the single greatest political CRIME in American History, the Russia Hoax. Likewise, the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal. No redactions!”
Same day - “All Russia Hoax Scandal information was Declassified by me long ago. Unfortunately for our Country, people have acted very slowly, especially since it is perhaps the biggest political crime in the history of our Country. Act!!!”
" The President’s statements do not requiring altering any redactions on any record…"
Does that make grammatical sense to anyone? Shouldn’t it be “do not require…”?
Meadows must feel a bit like the guy who cleans up after the elephants in a parade. You can only shovel so much at a time. He said he’s declassifying everything, so I think he should be taken at his word. If that isn’t the desired result, then don’t say it is.
