America’s mayor isn’t taking defeat lying down.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani urged President Trump to add a declassification spree to his checklist of final things to do while in office.
With less than two weeks before Inauguration Day, when it is expected Joe Biden will become president, Giulani, who serves as the president’s personal lawyer, said that time for “harmony” is over.
“At many times, I thought he was ready to do it, and many times it was blocked by, I have to assume, the force that we now call the ‘deep state.’ I have my suspicions where. Now there is no longer any reason to try to create some kind of harmony, and therefore, not do it,” Giuliani told former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon on his Friday War Room podcast.
“I think he owes it, not just to MAGA, he owes it to the American people to put it out,” the former mayor added.
Touching on subjects such as the Ukraine phone call and subsequent impeachment fiasco, the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, and the Russia collusion probe, Giuliani, who has led President Trump’s effort to overturn the results of voter fraud in the 2020 election, said there is no reason not to perform large-scale declassifications.
“I don’t know the information, and I’ve never seen any of the classified information, but I know everything that surrounds it. And having dealt with classified information for 17 years, I can pretty much read what’s been blocked out. I think I pretty much know what’s in there. And so far, there has been a lot of declassifications, and not a single piece of national security information has been contained in it,” Giuliani continued, adding:
What it contains is embarrassing information that will demonstrate that the prior administration engaged in, again I say, fascist tactics in order to prevent Trump from being president. And then in order to remove the rightfully elected president of the United States by clearly unlawful means. That’s what’s there.
Back in October, President Trump tweeted that he green-lighted the disclosure of documents related to the “Russia hoax” and to Hillary Clinton’s e-mails.
Although the president tweeted out that he had ordered a total “declassification,” a top aide told a federal court that these social-media missives did not amount to declassification orders.
The Paul Sperry tweet to which President Trump responded referenced Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe’s disclosure to the Senate Intelligence Committee of former CIA Director John Brennan’s notes after a meeting with Obama that showed Obama knew Hillary Clinton and her presidential campaign manufactured the Russia collusion hoax in the summer of 2016 to derail opponent Donald Trump.
FBI Director James Comey and his deputy for counterintelligence, Peter Strzok, were also aware of the plot.
President Trump appeared to end his fight for the presidency Thursday with a video in which he condemned the crowds of his supporters (and interspersed Antifa infiltrators) who entered the Capitol Building without authorization on Wednesday, interrupting the counting of the Electoral Votes. When Congress reconvened, they certified the election for Biden.
The president said there will be an “orderly transition” of power, though did not explicitly concede; he still maintains there was voter fraud.
At this point, declassifying material exposing the machinations of the Deep State would be a useful box to check off in what little time the president has left in office.
President Trump got off to a strong start in his term and attempted to make good on all his major campaign promises, but was often hamstrung by the federal courts and Congress.
It’s uncertain what awaits Trump after his presidency. There are several avenues he and his supporters have hinted at, such as launching a new media network or becoming something of a powerbroker by supporting America First candidates, potentially by funding political action committees. Others have floated the creation of a Trump-centered political party or even a Trump-Biden rematch in 2024.
The establishment is trying to strike out any such possibilities by attacking President Trump’s reputation, and thus his influence, in the last days of his presidency. The media is blowing up the march on Capitol Hill Wednesday as the worst thing to happen to America since 9/11 and saying that the president was directly responsible.
With another impeachment in the works, the elites believe that they can not only besmirch Trump’s name for history, but perhaps even level significant criminal charges against him if need be.
It was always a fight to the death between Donald Trump and the Deep State. If the president still has any bullets left in the chamber in the form of classified information that could expose the enemies of freedom, now is the time to pull the trigger.
