Wow: DOJ May Release (Redacted) Carter Page FISA Application
Red State ^ | Posted at 6:30 pm on March 17, 2018 | Patterico

All those Very Confident Statements about what was contained in the Carter Page FISA application may be put to the test sometime soon. USA Today reports that DOJ may release parts of the Carter Page FISA application that so far has been only described in the Devin Nunes #ReleaseTheMemo and the Adam Schiff response:

In dueling memos released last month, Republican members — led by California Rep. Devin Nunes — alleged that Justice and FBI officials abused their authority in targeting the former campaign adviser by improperly relying on an unsubstantiated dossier prepared by a former British spy. Democrats — led by California Rep. Adam Schiff —argued that the dossier was only part of the justification for the order, indicating that Page had been deemed an “agent of the Russian government” prior to the FBI receiving the dossier.

The release of both memos, Justice lawyers wrote Friday, requires “the government to carefully review FISA materials related to Carter Page to determine what information contained in them has been declassified and whether any such declassified information can be released to the plaintiff in response to its (freedom of information) request.

“That review is ongoing,” Justice lawyers said, asking the court to approve a July 20 deadline for Justice’s National Security Division and the FBI to complete the examination. “The government does not make this request lightly.”

The one thing we know is that everyone will claim they were Right All Along, even if they were wrong all along. Now would be a good time for people to review the two memos and all the punditry that claimed to “know” what is contained in the FISA application, to hold accountable those who told us lies or claimed to know things they couldn’t.

I wonder if it mentions the fact that Page was an undercover RUSSIA FBI informant ?

Didn’t Trey Gowdy see the FISA application? I thought his summary was what Nunes and his committee Republicans based their memo on ?

Why redact it?

It’s a fraudulent document, and apparently the FISA judge is just fine with fraud occurring in the court.

IIRC, One of the FISA judges (Female I believe), made a comment that it was up to the executive branch to release the information. The way she said it made it sound as if she was in favor of having them do so.

A review? A July 20th deadline?

Just release the f*cking applications already, Wray, Rosenstein, Session and Horowitz.
