As a voter, I have a right to know why my candidate is being prevented from running.
Trump does not really want the affidavid released he is only saying he does to keep the crazy train riled up. Just another game from the trump play book of deception.
The fbi no longer has any honor.
Lindsey is not gop hes MAGA
anybody know how Eric swalwell still sits on the House intelligence committee after getting caught having sexual relations with a Chinese spy?
If they have nothing to hide then it would be released. And why are local affidavits released in crime cases but a ex president wants this released but we can't do it? All as fake as this news broadcast.
Your truths are NOT self-evident, so give the People the d*mn evidence.
Really really come on
Release the affidavit. Of course ABCDNC is going to follow the party line.
Garland/DOJ control the narrative now. Shut up, or put up Trump. 🙂
The affidavit has names of witnesses. No way does that go public. Not with deluded Trumpers out there trigger-happy for anyone who hurts their messiah
The secrets are theories implanted in their vanity.
Everybody doesn't need access to all information at this stage. There is a process.
Who even considers releasing information on an ongoing investigation? Just because the focus of the investigation is an ex president, an ex president who has a history of intimidating people……
Good story!
He'll get to see it once he's indicted. Hopefully that will soon.
It’s a lot of dirty 💩 going on 🤆It’s criminal how MSM has misled the people.
How can you threaten a witness if you dont know who that witness is.
Sure because it's all bs I thought the demacrats said there were transparent always wow if that was true it would be released talk about two faced lairs let's go Brandon let's go newsom
That off of David carries the names of those that gave them information Trump and Fox News and Trump's allies want these names where they could Target these witnesses and these sources just like a mob boss trying to shut anybody up
Merrick Garland should have a "meet with Jesus" session, privately, with intelligent GOP representatives, to explain, in kindergarten language, exactly what is at risk, which demands the secrecy of the affidavit.
Let the intelligent GOP reps go back to explain to the GOP morons, why secrecy is critical.
Apparently, the majority of the GOP would rather sacrifice lives than be out of the loop! 🙄🙄🙄
I so want trump to go to jail
Forever â€â€Â- he has broken so many laws and has weaseled his way out w lawyers …
I can’t wait to see him be behind bars!!  him And his Cronies!
The DOJ doesn’t do what suspects demand, ask, or want! No doubt Jabba the Trump wants to know what the DOJ is doing and who is talking to them, it doesn't work that way…
BREAKING NEWS: DOJ says unsealing documents now won't allow ample to to cover up fishing expedition gone wrong by FBI

CONFUCIUS SAY: "ORANGE CHICKEN BAD" ðŸÂÂâ€Â

witch hunt
There are no snitches to find. It's all phony like the dossier, and the pretend whistle-blower Shiff kept referring to. Probable cause, we all know they can indict a ham sandwich.
Ya Burnt dRump!!! 😂
we need to only vote for people dedicated to investigating the corrupt institutions: CDC, DOJ, IRS, etc.
The AG of the USA (not a Trump sycophant as Bill Barr was and Jonathan Turley is) carefully balanced the public interest considering the target, national security and the evidence of crime. If it took three weeks then citizens should trust this esteemed jurist rather than challenging the top law enforcement officer in the USA because Fox or a drunken Don Jr or BOBB L HEAD says to..
The affidavit is to remain sealed until trial during the discovery phase.
This is to avoid tampering with evidence, witnesses, affiliates, etc. before trial if it ever goes trial.
It is all laid out meticulously in the DOJ filing.
This applies to most serious investigations and you damn well know it.
Sure just give anyone being investigated for espionage all the details before trial.
No-one is above the law in the USA right????
