Trump ally/nunes associate Kash Patel says trump relented to fbi/cia demands in final days

After four years of railing against “deep state” actors who, he said, tried to undermine his presidency, Donald Trump relented to U.S. intelligence leaders in his final days in office, allowing them to block the release of critical material in the Russia investigation, according to a former senior congressional investigator who later joined the Trump administration.
Kash Patel, whose work on the House Intelligence Committee helped unearth U.S. intelligence malpractice during the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane probe, said he does not know why Trump did not force the release of documents that would expose further wrongdoing. But he said senior intelligence officials "continuously impeded" their release – usually by slow-walking their reviews of the material. Patel said Trump's CIA Director, Gina Haspel, was instrumental in blocking one of the most critical documents.
Patel, who has seen the Russia probe's underlying intelligence and co-wrote critical reports that have yet to be declassified, said new disclosures would expose additional misconduct and evidentiary holes in the CIA and FBI's work.
Patel said that still classified information undermines another key claim – that Russia ordered a cyber-hacking campaign to help Trump. The March 2018 House report noted that the ICA's judgments, "particularly on the cyber intrusion sections, employed appropriate caveats on sources and identified assumptions," but those were drowned out by partisan insistence that Russia was the culprit.
Constrained from discussing the material, Patel said its release "would lend a lot of credence to" skepticism about the Mueller report's claim that Russia waged a "sweeping and systematic" interference campaign to install Trump.
Another key set of documents that the public has yet to see are reports by Democratic National Committee cyber-contractor CrowdStrike – reports the FBI relied on to accuse Russia of hacking the DNC. The FBI bowed to the DNC’s refusal to hand over its servers for analysis, a decision that Patel finds "outrageous."
The CIA relied on another questionable source for its assertion that Putin personally ordered and orchestrated an interference campaign to elect Trump: a purported mole inside the Kremlin. The mole has been outed as Oleg Smolenkov, a mid-level Kremlin official who fled Russia in 2017 for the United States where he lives under his own name. According to the New York Times, some CIA officials harbored doubts about Smolenkov's "trustworthiness."

Has nothing to do with 2020 though, so how's it really matter? We know Russia was false, we know 2020 election was rigged, under covid.

Huh?
Donald trump was potus, clothed in immense power.
He had the authority to release what he wanted. The documents could have got him just enough new voters to win again
Instead, he folded like a lawn chair. Wray convinced him. Shameful

Highly doubt this is true; however.....
if GEOTUS did relent, he deserves every inch of investigation that comes his way. He tried to play Mr. Nice Guy in 2016 only to get steamrolled. You'd think he would've learned his lesson and not gotten cuckolded twice when he could've prevented it.

You have to be tired after taking that coat on and off so often. You need a rest

He did cuck somewhat. I suspect some deals were cut so the intel community doesn't continue to destroy him.

If true, it's only because he knows our 3 letter agencies slaughter their fellow Americans with impunity, and he loves his family.

He probably believed that they'd stop trying to frame him and leave him alone.
He's a dumbass.
There was zero chance they leave him alone.
Permanent government spent five years whipping everyone into a frenzy. The only way they can end it, is to somehow imprison trump or someone in his family.

He won in a landslide if not for gross fraud in key swing states.

No shite
He should've pardoned Assange and Snowden
He was a great president and started a great movement but he definitely didn't drain the swamp.
