"I was astonished that Trump didn't declassify them because he promised it during the campaign."
"I talked to President Trump for the first time about that this week."
"He said that Mike Pompeo begged him... called him and said, this would be a catastrophe to release these."
This might very well have been the case. Timing is everything. If you spring the trap too early, too many of the varmints get to escape.
Tucker may think that Pompeo is somehow bad because he begged DJT not to release the files, but recollect that on the first full day in office, Donald Trump visited the CIA HQ in Langley, AND that he positioned Pompeo there for a full year.
Do you think that DJT didn't know about the nature of the CIA? Do you think that he wasn't aware of everything they were doing, even then, to undermine his presidency from the get-go? Do you think he wasn't fully informed about operation hurricane?
If you still think this wasn't a deep cover sting operation, well, maybe you're just not considering the concept of military intelligence planning. Either the DJT operation was planned, executed for a long term victory, or Trump and team were duped, fooled, and conned. Cannot have both.
The trap was never ready to spring during the first Trump administration. Can Trump just come out and say "Oh, we were laying a trap for the entire cabal, so we had to consider timing?"
Do you think Trump is a fool? If Pompeo pleaded with Trump not to release the JFK files, why oh why would Trump NOT do that, except that he trusted the advice of the man he put in charge to neutralize the CIA foundations?
I personally believe that DJT had very good reasons for not releasing the files and I trust his judgment implicitly. The fact that Pompeo advised, well "begged" him not to doesn't change that at all. Rather, it says to me that DJT accepted the advice from a man he commissioned with a task that has been a critical part of the overall Plan: addressing the Clowns in Action problem.
