Oct 7,2020 - Politics & Policy Scoop: Trump's spy chief releases new batch of Russia docs to Justice Department
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe has approved the release to the Department of Justice of a large binder full of documents to assist a review of the Obama administration's handling of the Trump-Russia investigation, according to a source with direct knowledge of the materials and confirmed by Ratcliffe.
Why it matters: The release, which is being revealed publicly for the first time today, comes as President Trump is urging his agencies to expedite the release of materials that he believes will be politically advantageous to him.
It follows a flurry of tweets by the president accusing the Obama administration of orchestrating a "treasonous plot" against him by investigating his campaign's ties to Russia.
Driving the news: The release of the documents to U.S. Attorney John Durham, who was tapped by Attorney General Bill Barr to carry out a sweeping review of alleged abuses by U.S. intelligence agencies investigating Trump and Russia, comes just hours before the start of the vice presidential debate.
The source said Ratcliffe has been working on this batch of documents for a number of weeks.
What they're saying: In response to this reporting, Ratcliffe confirmed in a statement to Axios: "At my direction, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has provided almost 1,000 pages of materials to the Department of Justice in response to Mr. Durham's document request, including a new batch that Justice Department lawyers are now able to view immediately."
"I will continue to ensure the Intelligence Community's responsiveness to the DOJ's requests. We also look forward to supporting the DOJ in further declassifications consistent with their investigation."
"As the president has made clear, we must be appropriately transparent with the American people and give them the confidence that the extraordinary work of intelligence professionals is never misused or politicized." https://archive.md/HT7pj • https://www.axios.com/john-ratcliffe-durham-declassification-53736a28-db6b-4bec-8e51-f89ac933f507.html
Watch faux for months'/years'-old "news", or expose it for the Truth Suppressing, Controlled Opposition, crap GONZO entertainment it is. It's ALL about the "personalities" keeping the wool over your eyes until they can tease/dangle something when finally forced to (usually covering for something else!).
