Republicans on the House intelligence committee asked President Trump last month to declassify key sections of the surveillance warrant application for ex-campaign aide Carter Page, according to a letter obtained by Fox News.
The heavily-redacted application outlining the justifications for surveiling Page, which was approved and renewed several times by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), was released over the weekend after a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
“Because DOJ (Department of Justice) and FBI continue to obstruct the Committee's investigation, it is time to put the facts in the public domain,” the letter, dated June 14, states.

Time for the Committee to start citing FBI/DOJ officials who refused to provide these documents in a timely manner.
Subpoena all of them including Sessions and Wray and find out what the hell is going on over their in “Obstructionville”.
Republican Executive Branch versus Republican Legislative Branch. Circular firing squad.
Trump should wait until October to authorize an unredacted copy to be made public.
the facts are revealed in the docs - the FBI relied on a fake, unverified dossier, paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC, in order to get a FISA warrant to spy on Hillary’s opponent’s campaign, and didn’t inform the FISA judges who funded it, though some may have known.
it’s just the FakeNewsMSM isn’t reporting what has now been verified.
bury the FakeNewsMSM. if you add up the few millions in total that read or watch them, it is irrelevant what they say.
focus all attention on the few media outlets that report the facts.
Apparently the Senate Staffer who shared the unredacted version was arrested last week for giving it to the New York Times (in a lurid exchange for sex, it seems) and the NY Slimes has had it all along. Of course this is not important to “whoever it may be that decides what is news” so the story has not been covered. The great part is Ali Watkins, the 26 year old NY Slimes reporter who had a 3 year affair with this 58 year old Senate Staffer asked on Twitter “Is it OK to have sex with a source, ethically.” Gotta hand it to libtards. Some real Deep Thinkers.
If the NYT has it then we deserve to see it directly
No more worries about protecting the Kenyan
The August congressional hearings are going to be a blast. Following that....serious calls for a Special Prosecutor to focus on the Clinton/Obama spying episode. The Big Nasty has arrived.
Well, the DOJ/FBI has declared its independence from the rest of the government. It is not responsive to either Trump or Congress. If Trump were to order an unredacted release and the DOJ refused, that would truly bring on a governmental crisis unless President Trump is willing to really fire and remove by force, if necessary, as many DOJ officials as necessary.
