President Trump will not immediately grant House Republicans' request to declassify and publicize currently redacted sections of the recently released FISA application used by the FBI to justify the surveillance of an ex-Trump aide, the White House said Monday.
Republicans on the House intelligence committee asked Trump last month to declassify portions of the surveillance warrant application for 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.

Trump needs to defeat this [the Mueller witch hunt] without ever lifting a finger, taking an action to do so. It needs to collapse in on itself, which it is in the process of doing right now...all by itself with Trump taking no action to make it happen. Trump will come out of that immensely stronger.
And when Mueller is gone, DOJ and FBI can be cleared out from the top. And when that happens the investigators and prosecutors suddenly will be in his chain of command. And THEN he declassifies and releases everything...AFTER having already won. And then everyone in the country knows exactly how corrupt their government under Obama and Hillary was...whether they want to know it or not.
And then Trump gets the rest of his agenda.
Trump fired Comey only because the recommendation came from Rosenweasel of DOJ. if the weasel sends him a letter to fire Mueller, Trump will oblige pronto.
This way there is no chance of “obstruction to justice” phony charge Mueller could bring up.
Trump knows he did not collude with Russia during campaign, and thus has the luxury to watch from the sidelines and not initiate any moves to give Mueller an excuse to bring charges. Longer the Mueller investigation lasts and nothing is found on the Russia collusion, worse it looks politically for Mueller and his team of democrats.
By the way colluding with Russia is not a statutory crime on law books. It is basically a political disaster if true.
Im sorry this is insane. He wont fire Rosenweasel now this. It stinks like yesterdays diapers. There is something Big here we dont know
I too support Trump but he’s been awfully slow, if not reluctant, to drain the Swamp. Yet this was the cornerstone of his campaign. It was an often heard refrain.
This is one of the reasons I donated bigly to his campaign. So far the progress has been minimal.
They are investigating the wrong bunch.. that is the infuriating part! To see our government to have lost their minds and senses.. to let hillary and obama go and take our President on.. one thing it is doing .. I hope .. is making more and more angry enough to VOTE.
Maybe he understands people forget and have short memories.
An October Surprise is in the works. Each side is planning something. Democrats are way too left. The hate selling
propaganda is not working. It is backfiring on the media.
People are turning the channels and watching something more uplifting. The lies are not selling.
People have great resentment toward the media, for not reporting the truth.
The key here is in the 4th FISA - being the third renewal - being the one RR signed ...
Read the letter from Nunes - they are specific that pages of that renewal are particularly important to declassify here.
When RR was asked about this when he last testified in congress, he said that what has been believed and reported about that FISA is not what he signed.
There are a few possible scenarios here ... TBD ;)
The Obama Intelligence Community is being tried in the Court of Public Opinion and they are losing bigly.
When the Intelligence Community believes the exact day should be redacted in the FISA applications leads the Court of Public Opinion that the Intelligence Community has lots to hide.
And the only way to clean up the mess is to increase Trump’s power by getting rid of Democrats and Never Trump Republicans in the November election.
As the Intelligence Community continues to cover up the subject matter only increases the public’s interest.
I think it has less to do with strategizing for the benefit of the ‘Party’, and more to do with positioning himself to blow up the Muller probe when appropriately ‘timely’ to do so, like right after Muller issues his “report”.
You don’t waste any valuable ammo while the enemy is still positioning himself.
mueller will strike first, I say declassify
I do understand that strategic releasing of such information for maximum return is wiser.

I get the political angle, but this never ending crap is dragging the country down. We need to get to the bottom of this thing and put the sordid mess behind us so we can all focus on Making America Great Again.
Good comments. Thank you.
At this point, there are sufficient grounds to declassify all related FISA documents IMO. The country needs to see the truth.
I agree. He doesn’t stay on defense for long. Look for Mueller to fire some salvos very soon. He does this every time he needs to regain the offense.
Because timing is everything.
Nunes ask for Declassification, Trump demures, PITIFUL
****************
Agree. Nunes has been a courageous soldier and Trump should help him out, but in a larger sense, it is the people of the United States who are also asking for declassification. It is we who are being denied access by the president we voted for.
I suspect Obama’s name is redacted in the doc.
It looks really bad.
I agree. Something is not right.
Words and deeds are out of synch. Its disconcerting.
The docs will be declassified at the appropriate time, the time of greatest practical effect.The redacted versions out now are part of the drip.
