President Trump on Monday ordered the declassification of several key documents related to the FBI's probe of Russian actions during the 2016 presidential election, including 21 pages of an application for a renewed surveillance warrant against former campaign aide Carter Page, and text messages from disgraced FBI figures Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Trump had ordered the documents released "[a]t the request of a number of committees of Congress, and for reasons of transparency."
The documents to be declassified also include 12 FBI reports on interviews with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr and all FBI reports of interviews prepared in connection with all other applications to surveil Carter Page.
Trump also ordered the Justice Department to release text messages from a number of the key players in the Russia investigation "without redaction" -- including Ohr, Strzok, Lisa Page, former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
It was not immediately clear when or how the documents would be released. Congressional sources told Fox News that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., does not know how soon he will get the documents, but said Trump's order covers "pretty much everything that he wanted ... and the text messages are a bonus."
According to the sources, Nunes added: "Wow! This is a direct order."

All declassification of documents should have been completed months ago.
All Trump should have to do is push the SEND button to publically release them.
Not rocket science ...
And once Sessions unrecuses himself, he can release them =o)

All roads lead back to St. Barack. He Who Must Never Be Questioned. The MSM is going to have to ignore vast amounts of uncomfortable information just to keep operating. :)
Rosenstein at home tonight with the missus must be a positively pride-swallowing siege!

Winning!
That doesn't mean that if the POTUS orders the documents released, Sessions has to sit by helplessly with his finger up his you-know-what while his subordinates defy the chain of command.
You are correct. There is nothing administratively to do in this situation.The responsible GOPers have already seen the redacted copies. The President is commanding them to declassify the redacted parts. Period.
The redacted parts have already been declassified, just not formally.
Trump merely gives the approval to hit the SEND button.
That should require a day, or an hour.

You may be right. We are in a war and it will take a stake through the heart to destroy the enemy. To truly win this war, it may require the President explain to the American public in plain terms - the democrat and media coup attempt. He then should initiate martial law and suspend habeas corpus. All suspected subversives in government, media, education, etc., should be arrested and tried in military court.
This or a bloody civil war - I don't think there's any other way to truly drain the swamp.
