In reply to the discussion: Here's what Harry Reid REALLY just wrote about Trump and Putin. (It will make you feel better) [View all]Cha
(295,903 posts)12. Wow! I hadn't read that! That is quite a brilliant letter..
Here's the money paragraph:
In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has
become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald
Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government - a foreign interest openly hostile to the United
States, which Trump praises at every opportunity. The public has a right to know this information. I wrote
to you months ago calling for this information to be released to the public. There is no danger to
American interests from releasing it. And yet, you continue to resist calls to inform the public of this
critical information.

"It's NOT classified! Reid would not have asked Comey to release it if it were classified and he certainly wouldn't be referencing it in an open letter. That would be illegal."
Thank you for this and your analysis, Fahrenthold.. I like it that you're Lawyer

So the conservative R director of the F.B.I. is withholding intel about Trump's direct Russian ties?

This must not be the party of Reagan then. They must be the Communist American Party
