The Big Reveal: An embattled POTUS Donald Trump may be on the verge of declassified all documents related to the FBI’s FISA warrant applications to spy on one of his former campaign advisors, Carter Page, days after Republican lawmakers have asked him to do so.
POTUS may also be set to declassified all documents related to the Justice Department’s former No. 4 official, Bruce Ohr, whose wife Nellie worked for Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign to produce the bogus “Russia dossier.”

May it be so
I think the only reason Trump’s stringing this along is to give Mueller et al. heartburn, and to build up public anticipation for the release.
Just do it!!!
I’ll believe it when I see it.
So Comey releases some “notes” and gets a Special Counsel appointed.
Then there’s all this confirming evidence available on illegality to sabotage an election, and MUCH MORE to be released, and NO Special Counsel has been appointed?
Little bit pregnant comes to mind.
It’s so close to elections...let’s not throw caution to the wind.
I hope this occurs, but I’m not holding my breath.
There is one reason for delaying. This has drawn an incredible amount of counter-fire providing the identities and affiliations of a host of the opposition.
Furthermore the enemy has shown they have no strategy and are just shooting wildly hoping to hit something; anything.
We have been hearing that the classification was about to happen but it never does. Stop the teasing!!!
Great—wtf is he waiting for? Out these idiots already.
This story reminds me of they guys storming the castle from a distance in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
That is, every time the camera goes back to them running toward the castle, they are a couple hundred yards away and no closer. And then they are there.
This is a “may”, “could happen”, “he’s thinking about it”, etc. Then, one day, either it’s no longer in the news, or it happens. I guess we’ll know when we find out.
Getting tired of all the illiterate source postings. “Declassified”... How about “declassifying”.
I keep seeing this. I’ll believe it when it happens.
If this is explosive as everyone says it is, why hasn’t Trump declassified and vindicated himself already?
Why doesn’t he just DO IT before some coup member throws the EO away?
October?
This is another of those things that you should believe only when you see it happen and find some better to pay attention to until you.
Trump’s team initiated the declassification process weeks ago. They objected to almost all of the original redactions, with written reasons why they objected.
According to written doj declassification process rules, Wray and Rosenstein need to sign off. They have had the “modified unredaction release proposal” for a couple weeks.
The procedure is, Wray and Rosenstsin first give it to the Deep state SES people who still control the process, and they came up with the usual reasons (sources and methods, etc.) for not unredacting. This part is done, and where the front line battle is right now.
Sessions is useless, as usual, supporting “the process” and “the career guys,” and otherwise taking a pass. Coward.
Now there are options.
1. The line-by-line objection/response battle is ongoing. The deep state SES a$$holes are relenting slowly, one word at a time. Back and forth with Trump’s people. Eventually, a less redacted version can be released, whenever Trump’s team says f’it, time’s too short (midterms).
2. Trump can override “The Declassification Process,” and go with the minimal redactions versions. He is daily considering it. There will be “hell to pay” for doing it, from the usual suspects. “Let the process play out!” is the cowardly motto even of supposed good guys. Bad guys are tossing out “Treason!” etc. DOJ (Wray, Rosenstein) will refuse the order. But Trump’s team has the docs and can do it on their own. Big big big nuclear blowup, if that happens. Wray and Rosenstein will certainly be fired, just likely delayed till after midterms. Likely.
3. A certain Congressman, with true copies of the documents, can read them into the Congressional Record. This is the main reason the DOJ fought so hard to only let them read the docs, and not get copies. This may require Trump to give a direct order to give the Congressman true copies. This likely has already taken place, as Trump’s declass guys have them anyway and can bypass the doj. So the certain Congressman is waiting on Trump to give him the ok. Said Congressman will take a big hit, and Trump hates letting someone else do that.
My guess? There is a “drop dead deadline” in Trump’s head, and will pull the trigger on #2 or #3. Deadline?
Very soon. Days, not weeks.
