Our side is the one that gets bullied. Look at Kavanaugh. What kind of civil war are you talking about when only one side fights?

I’m not sure Trump has the unreacted docs. He told John Solomon that he has not read them. I

“This is will be a good reason to clear the ranks after midterms.”

I agree and in the meantime run on this as a campaign issue. Tell the people who do you want running the country? The unelected deep state or a duly elected President? The dimoKKRATS have already stated that they want the FBI, DIA and DOJ to resist this order or transparency.

Can Trump overrule them and release unredacted documents himself? Just have Sarah Huckabee hand them out at a presser.

“reportedly expected” = fake news = no point in reading further

I think they want to force his hand into firing a lot of them so they can claim “obstruction” against the real obstructionists...

I agree with this.

Justice department to redact Russia documents....

Cowards. Hiding their crimes and their names. Justice department and FBI mean Sessions, Rosenstein and Wray. These cowards need need to go on the record so that they can be fired. All records need to be secured away from tap[erring and “misplacing” by these individuals.

The President is the ultimate decider of classified info. He has the absolute right to see and possess all the info including the redactions. I would recommend that the President assemble outside national security experts to help him with the declassification and then release the data.

POTUS should drive over and get them in unredacted form, and then read them in front of the building to the press corps. on live TV.

propose redactions

They can propose, Trump can deny.

No need to get the docs from another agency. They are probably all sitting in the White House counsel office.

The documents were being reviewed last month is the earlier indications were correct.

This dog and pony show for the resistards won’t amount to much IMHO.
If they do withhold, the President can start issuing orders firing those who are attempting to block the release and continue a daily firing until the people left get the message.

I figured that you knew. It’s a shame the media is reporting that the FBI and DOJ need to unredact the documents when all they need to do is release the original documents. It will be interesting how slow this process takes, I do not think President Trump will be patient.

expected to propose redactions to a series of documents

Proposals noted and rejected. Release the documents unredacted.

“I’m not sure Trump has the unreacted docs. He told John Solomon that he has not read them.”

Of course, President Trump has them. They are sitting in his White House counsel’s office. He’s been briefed, he doesn’t need to read through the hundreds of relevant pages.

The DOJ/FBI can propose whatever they wish. Then President Trump can say today is the day and release part one, the fourth FISA application renewal for Carter Page.

Nothing can stop President Trump. He’s decided and is the decider.

Any attempt by the Swamp to flim-flam Trump will be met with fire and fury.

The reactions of the deep state and its allies (like RINOs) are proving that the FISA court is unconstitutional, and they themselves are going to remain corrupt unless Trump cleans house. They pretend that the US public does not have a right to know what happens there, and they will do anything in their power to hide the truth.

However, I think Trump is going to do this in a logical way. First, get K confirmed, in case there is a constitutional dispute about the POTUS's powers (the enemy is already getting ready). Some on this forum will be impatient, but consider the powers that are ready to be deployed against him.

They way civil service law works, Trump really can’t fire many of them.

They would have to go in front of a review board first, and I would bet a dollar that the board will not rule in Trumps favor.

He can fire appointed officials. Remember Yates refusing to defend Trump's EO? Her butt was gone in a NY second.

[PDJT should order clean, unredacted copies be placed in his hands immediately, and then he hand them directly to Tom Fitton (Judicial Watch).]

Absolutely
