Trump Obstructing a Federal Investigation!
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...inity_20180918 President Trump, in a clear abuse of power, has decided to intervene in a pending law enforcement investigation by ordering the selective release of materials he believes are helpful to his defense team and thinks will advance a false narrative," Schiff said in a statement. The president has the authority to declassify any secret in the government, but experts could not recall a president doing so in a manner that seemed to leave aside any concerns raised by his own intelligence advisers. "This is certainly unprecedented," said Robert Litt, the former general counsel of the ODNI during the Obama administration. "Between the compromise of sources and methods, the impact on the willingness of people to cooperate, and the potential of selective release of classified material for partisan purposes, I think intelligence officials will find it very troubling." The FBI had no immediate comment.
