I mean, are you surprised? This way he can be the hero who releases them and yet doesn't entirely release them. Admittedly, though, I don't have a problem with this move, though. Release the fluff, continue to keep the damaging stuff under wraps. Fair enough.

well, at least he took the day to announce his national emergency on Opioids and to address the issue...without actually doing either of those things, and pretty obviously with no meaningful way to deal with it. So, there's that. Nice day of work!

Think about how much effort he puts in to NOT actually doing anything. Must be exhausting!

Remember! It was all about a video!

Then to top it off the vid author was arrested against his 1st Amendment right and now his life is shit.

There's mountains of corrupt BS that came from the Obama White House. And I'm not saying this as a Conservative, but an American.

I don't think you know what either of those terms mean.

Must be exhausting, indeed. I hope he takes the time to work out all the stress with 3-5 rounds of golf this weekend. I mean, if those 800million+ cut from medicare and medicaid must go somewhere, some of it really should go towards President Twatwaffle's weekend golf adventures. It's only patriotic.

I kind of understand the need to weed some stuff out because some foreign informants may be alive and regardless for others to want to help us out in the future we need to handle naming them carefully.
What I don't get is they have had years to prepare for this day why do they need 6 more months to prepare other than they did nothing about it until yesterday
Agreed. Especially given that Trump is a loose cannon and cannot be relied upon to give an extension. Also, the Beeb made it sound like a 25 year extension.

I suspect they are protecting not CIA informants, but CIA management.

From the brief amount I've heard nothing huge.
CIA said he spoke with a Russian operative in poorly skilled Russian
The FBI(?) had death threats against Oswald
Oswald was a dedicated Communist who defected to the Soviet Union. The greatest mystery to me is why he was ever allowed back in.

Given what the CIA and FBI knew about I'm prior to the assassination I'm shocked he was allowed to be walking the streets when Kennedy was in town.

Agreed. I suspect that the coverup was managed not to hide their involvement in the assasination, but to hide how much they were involved with Oswald.

And I think you're an idiot. Especially given the fact I was rooting for Ben Carson until he lost the primary and I would have no problem voting for Sarah Palin for President.

So continue on with your race/gender Leftist card. We all know when you lefties pull that you're on the losing side of the battle.

In retrospect that was unwarrented and uncalled for, I retract and apologize.

We can't deny entry to our own citizens.

But you can keep them under surveillance and that is the usual procedure.

Still don't get how ANYONE can be a fan of the SU, including Bernie Sanders... You have to be pretty fucked in the skull to support a totalitarian regime that routinely executes it's own citizens en masse and let millions more starve to death.

Nor can we prevent them from being in Dallas at a certain time, or anywhere else for that matter. Nor can we easily track every movement of someone who is under suspicion. Indeed, it was even harder to do such a thing then than it is now.

Especially given the fact Cryptkeeper Sanders praised Venezuela, and now we see what happened. People can't even get a plate of food to eat, medicine or butt wipe.

All political philosophy related to Socialism and trickle up need to be banned.

Exhibit A.

Yes, Exhibit A of me parroting back your fascist viewpoint of wanting to literally BAN viewpoints you disagree with. You said BAN first, not me. In case you didn't get it, dolt, I don't actually support banning any views. You do.

And I bet you knew the word Internet began with a capital I.

Should you capitalize the word Internet?

"The question of whether the word internet should be capitalized is so passionately debated and rife with controversy that it has its own Wikipedia article. The latest salvo in the capitalization wars came from the Associated Press Stylebook, which announced that as of June 1, the AP’s style will stipulate that internet and web (with reference to the World Wide Web) should be lowercased. The AP’s is not the first style guide to insist on downcasing internet; many other publications prefer the lowercase form as well. And yet, attentive readers may notice that the headword form in Oxford Dictionaries continues to harbor a capital I (at least for now)."
