And might not being made available to shred before 1/2021? I think there will be a firehose of proof of Don's kompromat with the Russians. I really think Trump is "all in" on doing whatever it takes to remain in power, cuz' he's got a whole lot more to lose than the Office.

(15,839 posts)I do try not to go too "tin-hatty" with some of this stuff, but I have always felt that the IC has been 100% on the side of the country, not on the side of the current squatter in the Oval Office. We may never know, though.

(29,335 posts)If my beliefs are wrong and Trump is free of foreign entanglements, I will happily admit I was a fool. But if I am correct, there are 70MM Americans that need to see the reality of Trumpism. This Trump/Putin Alliance is the attempted "New World Order" that Trump voters are so fearful of.

(15,839 posts)You are correct that this has to come out.
There are reasons that Donnie has been so terrified of losing the election that go beyond his toxic narcissism and fear of losing in general. He may want to stay away from cups of tea and high rise balconies.

(29,335 posts)was about. It's been a miserable 4 years for Trump....his ego gets occasionally stroked at rallies, then destroyed daily in the Fake News.
He hates the job now and hates more than 1/2 the country. But what really motivates him is the idea of losing power and facing the music.

(15,839 posts)Plus, I think he was planning to somehow leverage his position as POTUS when his massive personal debts come due.
Sucks to be you Donnie!

(69 posts)I really hate to say it, but I don't think the US will ever have access to that information until 2067. The 50 year mark is usually when they declassify stuff and I don't see Biden wanting to stain the US with the fact that Trump was likely either a willing participant in Russia's attempt to destroy the US from within, or, he was just a stooge that was taken because of his narcissism - the useful idiot, as it were.
That's my prediction. Biden is old school and has already signaled to everyone that he doesn't plan to pursue prosecution. He claims it'll be up to the justice department.
I suppose we'll see.

(29,335 posts)Time will soon tell! It will be nice to see Rep. Schiff on a 1st name basis with the heads of DOJ/NSA/CIA/FBI. If there is serious evidence of systematic and widespread corruption, I think it has to get vetted, reviewed, and with substantial/decisive reaction. Otherwise, George Santayana.

(15,839 posts)Some folks have suggested him for either a cabinet position or the newest Senator from California (Kamala's seat).
Personally, I'm very happy to have him chairing the Intelligence Committee. He will be a very busy man starting in January.

(69 posts)It took me over a week to get into DU. They had shut registration off and I had to email them and prove I wasn't a troll. lol
And yes, time will tell! We can hope for one thing but expect the status quo at this point. That's how I see it anyway. I certainly hope I'm wrong.

(33,424 posts)And always remembered as such. There have been countless opportunities for that information to come out. If it was hidden it was because that person was an Russian spy.
OAITW r.2.0
(29,335 posts)I think there are people working in the government that have info and have kept it from the Trump clean-up crew. When Biden is sworn in, there will be a line forming in front of Adam Schiff's office.
former9thward
(33,424 posts)They had info that Trump was a Russian spy and held it for 4 years while Trump could do his damage? Ahh No, your post was crystal clear. Those people are traitors for not bringing the info forward and limiting damage. They will be remembered forever as such.

Perhaps insane Scheissnozzle the Morons tax documents will show a bit of who owed what and how much to whomski. No-holds-Barred investigations would reveal what it meant for national security. And someone should ask the former AG, Who, exactly, did Epstein compromise?
