False News of Julian Assange’s Pardon By Trump

Declassify Everything – Scorched Earth Strategy

Corruption is a big issue in the United States. It comes at numerous levels, both on the political left and right political. It also stems deeper, which has become known as the “deep state” – political players that operate quietly and have a larger roll into public influence than is visible surface level.

Now that Trump’s election lawsuits may not be able to pull him to a 2020 election victory, many are enticing him to declassify anything and everything that he can, while he still has the power to do so. The challenges are many. Although the position of President grants Trump a lot of power, many people argue that the NSA, the CIA and other “security” organizations actually hold more power than the President himself.

Many Americans believe that a Julian Assange pardon, plus a movement to declassify information, altogether could essentially result in a new era of American history.

It’s still undetermined if President Trump will declassify government information or pardon Julian Assange.
