Transparency thwarted? Two weeks after Trump declassified Russia memos, most aren't released

More than two weeks after Donald Trump officially declassified the evidence, the vast majority of documents detailing FBI and Justice Department failures in the now-discredited Russia collusion investigation remain out of public view in a delay that has thwarted the former president's goal of sweeping transparency.

Multiple officials tell Just the News that the documents yet to be released include:

less redacted versions of the flawed Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants that allowed the FBI to target former Trump adviser Carter Page and the Trump campaign for a full year without producing any evidence of wrongdoing._
the confidential human source handling documents for informant Stefan Halper showing the specific requests the FBI gave to Halper to spy on Trump campaign officials and the cover story used to justify his contacts with Trump officials during the election.
the confidential human source handling documents for informant Christopher Steele, including what he told the FBI at his first meeting on July 5, 2016, when he first approached agents about the dossier.
a spreadsheet used to assess the many allegations Steele provided in his infamous dossier showing most were uncorroborated, debunked or traced to open-source Internet rumors or unreliable sources.
hundreds of digital messages exchanged on the FBI's internal chat network among the most senior officials in the Crossfire Hurricane probe, including fired Director James Comey, fired Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, fired lead agent Peter Strzok, former bureau lawyer Lisa Page and others.

Just the News has posted all of those documents, which include explosive revelations like:

Four days before the FBI secured a surveillance warrant against him in October 2016, Page repeatedly knocked down the key allegations at the heart of the Russia collusion investigation while unwittingly talking to a government informant who was wearing a wire.
As deputy director and acting director, McCabe was repeatedly pressured by FBI officials and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to step aside from the Russia and Clinton email probes because of a perceived conflict of interest.
Efforts by Hillary Clinton supporters to craft the Russia collusion narrative to vilify Trump began earlier than previously reported, in April 2016, and eventually involved an "indiscreet" effort to buy foreign video footage that made even Steele uncomfortable.
In a 2017 tell-all interview with agents, Steele admitted to the FBI that he leaked the Russia collusion story during the height of the 2016 election to help Clinton overcome her lingering email scandal and because he believed Trump's election would be bad for U.S. relations with his home country of Britain.

The remaining documents, according to sources who have seen them, provide more details showing just how far the FBI went to deceive the FISA judges in an effort to keep surveilling Page and that the FBI's true target for surveillance was the larger Trump campaign.

What makes you think they would have been released even then? All throughout the Trump term the bureaucracy fought him and slow walked everything he attempted to get done. This is more of the same. As I have said in the past Trump showed us for the first time how this country is run and how corrupt the government at all levels has become. Nothing new.

A few months back, he should have demanded them to be physically brought to his office within 2 hours. Then released them as he saw fit.

It’s a shame, he was utterly surrounded by treason.

Large numbers of Americans now feel zero loyalty to this occupation government.

Why is this important?
The swamp will not be cleaning itself.
The 4th estate is hopelessly biased to the point of colluding to affect a presidential election.
The FBI & DOJ will NEVER hold any democrat legally responsible for laws broken in the common goal of removing Trump.
They could release video of Wrey & Barr promising send the feds after all Trump voters and it will still make no difference.
“If voting could change anything they would not let us do it...”.

That’s the way it was most all of the time TRUMP was President - they (the DEEP STATE embedded GOVT employees, many placed there during 8 yrs the imposter was present, when he declared many previous appointed jobs as then permanent via the evil SES so it’s packed now with lefty dems) never followed his orders so his EO on this WILL NEVER BE FOLLOWED! He waited too late to do it!

He actually waited too late to pull the trigger on most all of these disclosures of the deep state and dem evil actions!

For four damn years the dems constantly complained about the Russian hoax and it was a hoax but they could bring it up! Now we have the 2020 theft, fraud, vote scandal and it can’t be mentioned at all forever!

Not only do we have a TWO TIERED JUSTICE SYSTEM, we now have a TWO TIERED MEDIA and TRUTH DISSEMINATION/DISCUSSION CAP in America on what can be talked about at all one party vs the other!

Who the hell gets to make those declarations that we all must follow to the here after! I didn’t agree to that did all of you?

Kiss my *ss govt, media, congressman!
