Any day now. He said he was going to do this last year and then he backed off after Rod Rosenstein and Christopher Wray begged him.

My belief for some time now has been that the Obama DOJ and FBI intentionally spiked the Hillary e-mail investigation, and concocted a rationale to investigate the Trump campaign under false pretenses – abusing the apparatus of federal law enforcement in order to target the campaign of the nominee opposite the president’s party.

It is also my opinion, for what it’s worth, that Barack Obama directed all of this, whether in so many words or not.

Also: If all this is true, Trump knows it’s true because he’s seen the proof. I think he should have declassified it as soon as he became aware of it, but apparently he’d rather keep it in his back pocket for when he needs it as a political weapon. His call, not mine. If the time isn’t now, I don’t know when it would be.

Trump elaborated in an exclusive interview with the New York Post:

“If they go down the presidential harassment track, if they want go and harass the president and the administration, I think that would be the best thing that would happen to me. I’m a counter-puncher and I will hit them so hard they’d never been hit like that,” he said during a 36-minute Oval Office sitdown.

The commander-in-chief said he could declassify FISA warrant applications and other documents from Robert Mueller’s probe — and predicted the disclosure would expose the FBI, the Justice Department and the Clinton campaign as being in cahoots to set him up.

“I think that would help my campaign. If they want to play tough, I will do it. They will see how devastating those pages are.”

But Trump told The Post he wanted to save the documents until they were needed.

“It’s much more powerful if I do it then,” Trump said, “because if we had done it already, it would already be yesterday’s news.”

The Democrats will insist they’re not scared about this and that they’ve got nothing to hide. That will be a lie. The documents we’ve already seen, which were not classified, were devastating enough. If there’s even worse stuff Trump is sitting on, it’s going to be explosive.

And yet there remains this one sticky problem: If Trump declassifies these documents and the media yawns, will their contents really have an impact on the public? And the media might do worse than yawn. What they are more likely to do is turn it into a negative story about Trump, calling him out for declassifying documents for political purposes.

What you’ll hear about is not what the documents actually contain, but how improper it was for Trump to release them. It’s the same tact they’re taking with the DNC e-mails in which John Podesta and others connected to the Hillary campaign exhibited such utter disdain for Christians and other ordinary Americans. You rarely hear about what the e-mails said, but you hear lots about who did the hacking and how awful it was.

Trump is probably not overestimating how bad the information in these documents is for the Democrats, but he may be underestimating the ability of the news media to make absolutely anything seem insignificant simply by treating it like it’s not important, or worse, a dirty Republican trick.

Then again, conservative new media outlets like this one will surely do all we can to make the information famous, so it’s no longer as easy as it used to be for Democrats to make a story go away because CBS, NBC, ABC, the Washington Post and the New York Times all agreed to bury it.

Regardless, release the documents. My guess is they expose one of the biggest scandals in recent decades, even if much of the public won’t know it’s such a big scandal because the news sources they rely on are determined not to tell them about it.
