Crisis: Schiff, Pelosi, Schumer, Warner demand FBI, DoJ DEFY Trump over FISA declassification

(National Sentinel)Â Unconstitutional: You can always tell how desperate and panicked Democrats are about the disclosure of certain information to the public by the level of authoritarianism they are willing to engage in.

And boy, are they panicked over POTUS Donald Trump’s intent to order the Justice Department to declassify all documents related to FISA warrant applications used by the Obama Deep State to spy on the president’s 2016 campaign.

On Tuesday we reported that the president had ordered the declassification of those documents and what to look for; there are a lot of people who, if (and it’s a big ‘if’) the justice system works will have a lot of explaining to do to a grand jury. Many of them will be lucky if escape jail time.

But judging by the reactions of top Democrats late Tuesday, not only do they appear to believe allies of theirs may be headed to jail,Â they are openly encouraging the FBI and Justice Department toÂ defy the duly-elected president andÂ refuse to comply with his order.

In a letterÂ signed by Rep. Adam Schiff, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Senator Mark Warner, and Senator Charles Schumer and sent to Director Coats, Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and Director Wray, the four DemocratsÂ ordered the two officials not to comply with POTUS Trump’s declassification instruction.

In short, despite the fancy wording and talk of ‘procedure,’Â the president has absolute authority under Article 2 of the ConstitutionÂ to order any Executive Branch agency to declassifyÂ anything, a power that is not subject to congressional approval.
