Trump threatens to declassify Russia docs to 'counter punch' Dems

President Trump on Wednesday threatened to declassify documents related to the Russia investigation that he claimed would be damaging to Democrats if they decide to investigate him when they take control of the House next year.

Trump's comments, made in an interview with The New York Post, come two months after he walked back his original plans to declassify and publicly release the documents as a result of concerns from U.S. allies and his own Justice Department.

"If they want to play tough, I will do it," Trump told the Post. "They will see how devastating those pages are."

He suggested that the documents would serve as a "counter punch" to Democrats if they choose to investigate him.

Mueller has three Aces.

The trouble is that the Rump doesn't understand the difference between three card poker and three card monte.

What he thinks is a big deal is probably nothing.

And here you have the President of The United States saying he will release classified information for political reasons, which means that he could be jeopardizing national security.
