Senator Lindsey Graham has written a letter to Attorney General Bill Barr urging him to declassify FISA documents used during the FBI's investigation of the Trump campaign.
"Since March 28, 2018, the Department's Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, has been conducting an investigation into the Department's and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's compliance with legal requirements, and with applicable Department and FBI policies and procedures, in applications filed with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) related to Carter Page. According to Inspector General David Horowitz that investigation is nearing completion," Graham wrote in a letter to Barr Tuesday morning. "In order for the Inspector General to be able to present the most complete results of his investigation to Congress and the American people, certain documents will need to be declassified and released to the public. I write to urge you to declassify all documents the Inspector General identifies as appropriate for declassification as much as possible, without harming national security."
Graham also provided a long list of documents he believes should be declassified and released, which includes:
All documents and communications originally shared with the Gang of Eight in May 2018 related to the investigation into Russia interference in the 2016 election, including any transcripts of summaries of transcripts of conversations between George Papadopoulos and confidential informants.
The applications for FISA warrants and any renewals thereof for Carter Page or anyone else associated with the Trump campaign.
Any opinions from the FISC related to the Carter Page FISA or other Trump campaign related FISAs.
The chart that shows the FBI's attempts to verify the allegations in the Steele dossier.
Any FBI or Department documents or communications discussing Christopher Steel's credibility and/or biases or the FBI or the Department's knowledge of Steele's contacts with members of the meida.
FD-302s or other interview summaries related to anyone at FBI or the Department who interacted or accepted documents or communications from Christopher Steele, Glenn Simpson, Fusion GPS, Michael Sussman, Perkins Coie, or the Democratic National Committee (DNC) or anyone associated with the DNC.
The FBI's confidential human source reports and related documents and communications for Christopher Steele.
Documents and communications related to the defensive briefings given to both the Clinton and Trump campaigns.
In the meantime, the IG report on the investigation into the origins of the Russia probe is expected by the end of the month.
The only reason the FISA docs are classified is because they are embarrasing or potentially embarrasing to those involved.
Probably half of the documents the govt. classifies is in that catergory, while the other half actually does contain national security information that warrants protection.
He won’t. Barr _is_ Deep State. He WILL protect the Deep State principals. There IS no accountability for the elite in America. As long as they are on good terms with the Deep State, they can commit crimes with impunity, and NEVER be held to account.
The FISA Court is appointed and overseen by the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. If John Roberts has said a mumbling word about the FISA abuses. I can’t find any record of them.

I think the Court has a separate judge, not Roberts.
ALL redactions made in gov't docs should be INITIALED and FOOTNOTED with a number representing the REASON for the redaction.
ANY redaction made solely for the purpose of AVOIDING EMBARRASSMENT or CONCEALING CRIMES should be met with stiff fines and/or prison time!!!!
Why do I think it will be a whole lot of nothing.
I’ve seen the football pulled away so many times I expect it now.
Lindsey, get FOCUSED on holding your Judiciary Committee hearings on Trumps Judicial nominees. There are a bunch backlogged there waiting for hearings. Graham also has Judgeship nominees who have already had their hearing and are waiting to be voted on by your committee.
Get crackin Lindsey.
I don’t know why Sean Hannity thinks they’ll be charged.
Lets keep this FReepathon moving and wrap it up, Folks!
The FBI is known for doing parallel construction (two tracks of evidence one they reveal to the accused the other they hide and somehow the perp has a tail light out)
The CIA was/is up in pretty much everyone digits and can seed a box they've hacked with whatever files they want.
I think the key to connecting everything is the MAC address on that server in Trump Tower and the MAC address of Hillary's illegal server.
Its probably what Devin Nunes ran up to the Whitehouse to do that one day. He went to one of the special super secret computer and queried that system and saw all the CIA activity aimed at planting evidence on candidates and then president Elect.
Obama didn't think Trump was going to win - more then likely using the CIA they setup Hillary with all sorts of compromising Russian collaboration docs to be able to have something to fend her off during her presidency. When she lost they hastily switched the target to Donald Trump.
So the Dossier gets the FISA that gets the server that gets the incriminating Russian collusion documents on Trump that Brennan's CIA planted there.
What they forgot is Donald Trump is dah frikken Honey Badger. Does that stop the Honey badger? Hell no!
We need that MAC address and the right FOIA request.
I think if Barr reveals the FISA its revealed that Obama was spying on almost every American citizen and actively using for political ends to punish or reward individuals through various aspects of their lives (credit scores, loan approvals, IRS audits, military advancements, inspections)-- basically retarding opportunity and punishing conservatives and rewarding progressives.
Using the vast computing resources of the CIA/NSA Obama was engaged in a crazy big brother conspiracy against political opponents down to the individual voter level. That's what I think is in there and its not well hidden.
Last I heard, AG Barr is too preoccupied covering up for Hillary Clinton in court to bother with this trivial matter.
Anything for a laugh huh Lindsey?
Barr is too busy with his Bagpipe gigs to deal with little things like
releasing classified FISA documents.
Too busy to indict all coup plotters too.
Barr is on the other side.
Hannity can take his Tick-Tock and shove it where the Sun dont shine!
But, but, but September is gonna be when it all happens....
linda has a habit of making a big deal out of something and then letting it die on the vine.
For example, early last May linda asked Roberts, to investigate the FISA warrants used with Carter Page. Here’s pages of search results on this:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=graham+roberts+fisa+court&ia=web
I have done several searches looking for the result of Robert’s investigation and have found nothing. If anyone knows something about the results, please FReepmail me the info. Thanks.
Now we get to sit back and see if linda gets any results with his latest request. I’d advise not holding your breath :)
Ha. If u say so.
The coverup continues, no one will be prosecuted, and I mean no one.
There will be noting meaningful come out of this whatsoever.
There will be no release....
