US President Donald Trump has ordered the declassification of all documents, without exception, concerning the investigation of his alleged ties with Russia, including the email scandal of Hillary Clinton, his rival in the 2016 presidential election.

“I fully authorized the total declassification of all documents, without exception, related to the greatest political CRIME in American history - the fabrication of the“ Russian case ”.

And also to the Hillary Clinton email scandal.

Without cuts! "

- wrote Trump on Twitter.

He also recalled that he had long ago instructed to present to the public all documents related to the investigation by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller about Russia's "interference" in the 2016 presidential election and the links between Trump's election campaign and the Kremlin.

“I have long ago declassified all the information on the scandal connected with the fabrication of the“ Russian case ”.

Unfortunately for our country, the people acted very slowly, especially since this is arguably the greatest political crime in American history.

Act !!! "

- added the head of the White House.

Shortly before the publication of these tweets, the head of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, published materials indicating that in 2016 former CIA Director John Brennan informed the former head of the White House Barack Obama about the plans of the Hillary Clinton headquarters to accuse Trump of "conspiring with the Russian Federation" in order to distract attention from the scandal around his email.

According to Brennan's handwritten notes, "information about Russian activities" was obtained

"Hillary Clinton allegedly endorsed a plan by one of her advisers to vilify Donald Trump, orchestrate a scandal claiming Russian intelligence meddling," according to the tapes, which Fox News said were made after Brennan's conversation with Obama.

According to a Fox News source, the note was taken after Brennan briefed Obama.

In another note from the ex-head of the CIA, it is said about the need to use "any evidence of cooperation between the Trump headquarters and Russia."

According to Ratcliffe, the declassified documents "relate to the ongoing oversight and litigation activities of Congress."

According to Fox News, in September, the director of National Intelligence told the US Senate Legal Committee that in 2016, the American intelligence services obtained analytical data from Russian intelligence, from which it followed that the Clinton campaign headquarters intended to divert attention from the scandal around her, accusing Trump of conspiring with Moscow. ...

We add that the direct participant in those events - ex-CIA head John Brennan - accused Ratcliffe of selectively declassifying documents, which, in his opinion, should help advance Trump's political interests.

“If the Russians' assertions that Hillary was trying to draw attention to the alleged links between Trump and Russia were indeed true - and this is still in question - then there is nothing illegal in this,” he was quoted by CNN.

He confirmed that the notes made belonged to him, but indicated that he only gave examples of information obtained by the American special services regarding Russian information.

“John Ratcliffe and others are trying to portray this as illegal activity meriting an FBI investigation.

No.

It was just an activity in the framework of the election campaign, ”added the former head of the CIA.

Recall that Donald Trump was accused of having ties with Russia throughout the presidential campaign and the 2016 elections.

A number of heads of the US intelligence services, who then represented the still unchanged administration of Barack Obama, announced about the alleged interference of Russia in the elections.

In 2017, an investigation was opened of the ties between Donald Trump's election headquarters and Russia, which was conducted by a commission of the US Department of Justice under the leadership of Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller.

The investigation was completed in March 2019, and a report was issued following its results, which stated that the investigation did not find evidence or signs of "ties" between the campaign headquarters of the current president and Russia.

At the same time, in September, the US Senate initiated a check on reports that representatives of the Mueller Commission destroyed classified information from 15 phones at once.

According to Donald Trump, these US Department of Justice officers are "criminals."

“It was established that the Mueller scam should not have happened at all, since there was no reason for it.

This is all a criminal witch hunt, and someone has to pay a heavy price for it.

My life would be completely different if someone hadn't tried to fool the whole of America !!! "

- said Trump.

Pre-election move

As First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs Vladimir Dzhabarov noted, declassifying such materials less than a month before the US presidential election (November 3) is unlikely to have a strong impact on the decision of American voters.

According to him, some of them will believe these documents, while others will not.

“From the very beginning it was clear to us that this (the conspiracy of Trump's headquarters with Russia. -

RT

) was fake and fake.

Now, I think, Mr. Trump took this step on the eve of the elections, so that he would not again be accused of collusion with Russia ... There was an order to demolish Trump, so they tried to fulfill it.

Therefore, other investigations by the Americans also raise doubts.

That is, they simply wishful thinking, "said the interlocutor of RT.

In turn, HSE professor Alexander Domrin believes that the whole story about the alleged ties of the incumbent head of the White House with the Kremlin was "a big lie."

“Of course, better late than never, but Trump, in my opinion, should have been allowed to declassify all these files even earlier.

This would make life easier for him and the fulfillment of his campaign promises.

Yes, naturally, we know that the Mueller Commission found no trace of collusion between Trump and Russia.

And yes, of course, now is the time when you need to declassify these materials, playing ahead of the curve, hitting the Democrats, because the Clintonoids still control the situation in the Democratic Party, "the expert emphasized in an interview with RT.

At the same time, Vladimir Putin, in an interview with the Russia 24 TV channel, once again announced Moscow's readiness to work with any US president.

The head of state also stressed that attempts to humiliate Donald Trump with accusations of alleged ties with the Kremlin only "pour water on the mill."

“When someone tries to humiliate or offend the current head of state, one way or another they raise you and me, they talk about some of our incredible influence and power.

To a certain extent, as our people say, it pours water into our mill, ”the Russian president explained.
