WASHINGTON The White House has rebuffed concerns among American intelligence and law enforcement officials and ordered that more lawmakers be given access to classified information about an informant the F.B.I. used in 2016 to investigate possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, according to two American officials with knowledge of the decision.
Both the director of national intelligence and the director of the F.B.I. tried to keep the classified documents tightly restricted, fearing that a broader dissemination of operational reports and other sensitive material could lead to more leaks of detailed information about the role of the confidential F.B.I. informant.
Some American officials believe, in fact, the reason the White House made the decision was to provide political ammunition to President Trumps Republican allies who have argued without any evidence that the F.B.I. investigation was opened in July 2016 as an effort to keep Mr. Trump from becoming president.
The White House declined to comment.
The F.B.I. files about the informant will now be available to all members of the Senate and House Intelligence Committees, instead of to just a group of congressional leaders known as the Gang of Eight. It is unclear whether Mr. Trump or a lower-level White House official authorized the move.

A known Communist headed the CIA under Obama. I will question the loyalty of those within thesr agencies.
A deception perpetrated by the movie industry that 12 volts DC does anything other that make sparks when making a direct short. Add a coil and capacitor, well that is a different story.
Moved for Rush?
They don't deserve the time of day from traditional Americans. "Intelligence" protects liberal elites and assorted criminal groups associated with liberal elites.
FBI burned up those intel assets/informants as a disposable PAWN in this attempt to bring down Trump. Had they succeeded in taking down Trump, these informants would have been revealed to the public - thus, there should be no argument that they still need to keep the identities secret. The cards are on the table, the hand has been played, and the dealer is waiting for them to show their cards. Because what the FBI engaged in is Treason (2-people rule will become an entire Nation knowing), the illegal activities are exposed... leading back to the President, the DNC presidential candidate, some senators on both sides of the isle, and a complicit media that itself must be held to a higher standard as the FBI leadership and agents/lawyers are put on trail.
“Trump had to be very patient to allow the situation that unfolded yesterday to come to full flower.”
if the whole truth were known, the Obama administration was saturated with socialist/communist believers. They tried to hide their ideologies, but nevertheless, they were there.
Trump could hold 100 rallies, release 1000 files, issue hundreds of tweets explaining the situation, and yet he wouldn’t come close to the impressions captured of The Stroke. These visages present the real picture, the reminder that those who act under color of authority to terrorize the populace do it with joy, glee and hatred.
One of the very BEST paragraphs I have EVER read in my almost two decades on FR.
You put almost all wordsmith pundits in the media to shame with that potent summation.
Clinton, WJ, about campaign finances. His Deputy Attorney General set up the “Gorelich wall” to keep information from flowing between the CIA and the FBI. This was a major contributing factor that allowed 911 to occur.
Rush totally blew it today. Not a word about this huge story. What the hell is wrong with him?
Probably McCain and Romney, which explains why they tried to lose.
That may have been Congressman Roland Libonati who had Sam Giancana’s Son-in-Law as Chief of Staff. He just happened to be one of Al Capone’s lawyers. He was succeeded by another Outfit man, Frank Annunnzio. Both of these were put in office by the First Ward machine.
. . . including those who announced in 2012, I make no doubt.I sure hope Trump knows what hes doing with Sessions.
And that an investigation and purge of the Deep State in the Civil Service will be completed by 2024 . . .
I believe you are right. I choose to vote Trump from the moment he declared because we were going to become fully totalitarian once these powerlusters took over via a Clinton Presidency. And Trump fights harder when under seige. He’s the only one who wouldn’t cave.
All part of the slow march to November.
RE: McCain and losing 2008
McCain worked to lose from the moment he had the nomination. Ran a campaign as bad as Hillary’s. He had the nerve to grin from ear to ear after losing. He is deep in the Deep State from long ways back.
Wonder if Sessions will be exposed as a campaign plant?
Yes, it was totally obvious he wanted to lose. He was surprised to see that Palin was boosting his chances of winning, so he turned on her. He’s a slime.
