Poll: Majority want Trump to declassify documents from Russia investigations

[The Hill] A majority want President Trump to declassify documents pertaining to the Russia investigations, according to a new The Hill-HarrisX poll.

Fifty-nine percent of registered voters contacted for the survey said they want Trump to declassify the documents, with 14 percent saying they want the information kept secret and 27 percent not sure.

"Generally speaking, I think Americans view transparency as a good thing, so it's not surprising to me that most Americans want the documents to be declassified," Mallory Newall, research director at the Ipsos Public Affairs polling company, said during Monday's broadcast of Hill.TV's "What America's Thinking."

"Americans approve of [Mueller's] investigation, they want a full and fair investigation and are in favor of transparency at all points throughout," Newall continued.

Several Republican members of Congress have asked the president to declassify documents from the earliest days of the FBI's investigation which they believe will show that high-ranking officials withheld relevant information from judges in order to obtain warrants to monitor members of Trump's former campaign. They have also sought to declassify DOJ briefing papers that were presented to congressional leaders which they say might include information about possible abuses by investigators.

#2 I don't believe the poll.

Declass puts sunlight on things which is usually a good thing in government. It ought to be done unless it compromises grand jury indictment or military tribunal processes.

The Mueller probe was based on lies to begin with. The FISA warrants were obtained fraudulently, the Steele dossier was made-up B.S. and the Trump campaign and duly-elected POTUS was illegally spied upon by Obama's intelligence agencies. Moreover, it seems the Mueller team tried to destroy Stzrok-Page emails. Its stated purpose was to investigate collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians. However the purpose seems to be to exonerate Hillary and take down Trump.

If Declass would stop the Mueller fishing expedition, witch hunt, it would be good for the country.

#5 The Circular Innuendo Theater gets tiresome, doesn't it? Someone (supposedly) "Leaks" Classified, then Someone is Outraged by the (unsubstantiated) "Facts" that were leaked by that Anonymous person, and then a circle of Pundits get progressively more outraged by each other's outrage.
De-Classify and let the Facts Speak For Themselves™ ... It would be such a pleasant change

#6 Lets not forget FBI Wray, he's a capstone of the coverup.

#7 Trump should honestly appoint a special counsel to investigate Mueller and his team. Make it COMPLETELY open ended and ensure that EVERY computer and phone are taken via SWAT raids right as it's being announced. Shoot anyone who resists. Appoint a Texas Ranger to do the investigation.
