All we have to do is trust that Trump is doing this in the best interests of justice and not something that he is abusing for personal gain.
Hehe
One question though....why didn't he release the info sooner? He's been sitting on proof of a conspiracy and corruption and he decided to...wait? And let Rosenstein, the man who leads the corruption, stay in charge?
If I ask 10 Trump fans that question I'm betting I'd hear 10 different answers, all made up on the spot with no one challenging the other's conclusion.

Speaking of transparency where are your tax returns?
Obstruction of Justice in plain sight.
Mueller has Manafort, Cohen, and Papadopolous--and reams of testimony.
Trump has Congress...for now.

Why are Dems so insistent that people not see the truth and be able to make up their own minds about what happened?
these are official documents and texts using official phones. People have a right to see what these non elected people were up to as far as influencing the election.

Because it isn't the whole truth, just highly selected parts. If these agencies are being forced to release only selected parts, then we don't get the full truth. They should try to release everything.
But they don't want to have Russia kill anyone helping the USA or for Russia to learn which of their specific networks have been cracked open already. That is why they aren't exactly thrilled with sharing the information they have.

Its an ongoing investigation. You would have been OK with Obama ordering the release of selected documents of Hillary's investigation while it was happening?
This "oversight" has been nothing more than creating a narrative with bits and pieces to hedge against an impeachment vote, led by Nunes, a man brought up on ethics charges for his behavior.
The Fox News comment section is going nuts right now. They believe Trump is going to release a smokong gun. Another bait and switch in 3..2..1...

What about them emails?
Which in itself is not a crime.
Which has nothing to do with Trump.
2024 who knows....

That and also he’s trying to shed a light so that people can see it make up their own minds who has been the dirty player in all this and on how it looks, all the Democrats seem to have all the fingers in the pot.
Good question, probably for political reasons in the same weight that Diane Feinstein is releasing all the information on this woman about the Kavanaugh hearings.
Trust me, when I do the same thing with my liberal friends when I go to the bars and talk about the Weasley Democrats I get equally about the same kind answers all over the place, hilarious. Lol

Where did you go to law school? Obstruction of justice is a crime. Here is a link to the criminal statute so that you can ignore it later:

This has been pointed out to you many times before. Until the investigation is over, you have no way of knowing what Mueller has. Also, you have no way of knowing if it has something to do with Trump or not.
The Republicans are in serious jeopardy of losing the House and quite possibly the Senate this November, but go ahead and indulge yourself in wishful thinking about 2024 if you want.

He's going to release 21 pages of a 412 page FISA package. And he gets to decide which pages.
I know you can understand that we would never take the word of a man like Trump when his own self-interests are at stake. It’s unreasonable to expect us to, and it’s inappropriate for him to do so.
Also, Trump is temporary. The Presidency will continue. You are setting the precedent that a President, whether Democrat or Republican, can selectively release classified info from which a political narrative can be constructed that benefits the President. Are you OK giving that kind of power to a future Obama or Clinton?
You guys need to start thinking and standing up for yourself and your rights.

Yes it is.

Black label; "Why are Dems so insistent that people not see the truth and be able to make up their own minds about what happened?"
Why is it you can't see the oxymoron in your statement? You don't see the FACTS and get to make up your own mind what happened -- that's what the facts are for. People want the facts, and the fact is Trump has been sitting on the facts for ages while denying any meddling occurred, and in fact said flat out he believes Russia over his own intelligence agencies on the matter. Sorry, bud, but you guys no longer get to make up your own alternative universe facts when the real ones come out, although we know you ultimately still will to hide behind them.

I didn't, I have a family lawyer though.
But not necessarily an impeachable crime.
If it did, we would have known and even if the House turns blue and the Dems proceed with impeachment filings, the Senate won't remove him, but if the Dems want to keep digging.....wait....Lisa Page just also say nothing that she can point to Trump and Russia colluding, wow! The very woman who's slimy boyfriend (cheater) were texting each other that the world was going to go under, even she admitted she couldn't see anything that would point to the President.
The Republicans are also looking at picking up seats, so yes, I will indulge myself.

An outstanding move by our President. He wants this October Surprise/red tsunami to happen closer to midterms.
He's getting ready to show the world that a bunch of lying, corrupt, money grubbing, criminal individuals control the Democratic Party.
Slowly releasing unredacted documents in a drip, by drip, by drip fashion will wind up producing such overwhelming flow of evidence against the democrat clown car that even the staunchest liberal dolts will be forced to realize their party will never recover in ours, our children or our grandchildren’s generation.

I find it hard to believe that you consulted your family lawyer about whether obstruction of justice was a crime or not. However, if you did, and he told you that it wasn't, then it's time to find a new family lawyer.
So, now you admit that obstruction of justice is indeed a crime--just not an impeachable one. Nice pivot. Unfortunately, you are also wrong about that. You obviously didn't bother reading the link that I provided because if you had, you would have seen two examples of presidents having Articles of Impeachment drawn up against them for this crime.
Again, no we would not because the investigation is not over. How many times do you have to be told this? However, I can see that you insist on posting this falsehood over and over again despite having it pointed out to you before. As far as the rest of your rant about the FBI, Lisa Page, and the other right-wing talking points go, the IG's report already debunked your charges. Also, four federal judges have also ruled against this type of a defense ("Oh, my client has been wrongfully accused by a corrupt law enforcement agency or the Mueller investigation is unconstitutional . . . blah, blah, blah--motion denied--4 times).
I wouldn't be too sure about that, especially since some Republican senators like Ben Sasse have shown some signs of having both a spine and a conscience, so there are no guarantees that Trump is going to get a free pass from the Senate--that is if it remains in the Republican's control.
We'll see what you have to say after the election in November.

But I did and do.
No pivot, but obstruction is NOT necessarily an impeachable offense.
It's not over, I never said or indicated that it was, I am just saying, if there were anything that they could get the President on like with some these other players that Mueller caught we would have known about it. Heck, even Lisa Page and her married lover couldn't any collusion regarding Trump and these people hated him like Typhoid fever.
Actually, I am positively confident about that they won't.
Yes and likewise.
Sneezy
Just so we’re clear, you called up your family lawyer to ask them if obstruction of justice is a crime, and they told you that it isn’t?
Time to get a new lawyer.
