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 his life, Trump has been very used to having his own way as a wealthy businessman, not answerable to anyone but himself. And as a real estate developer, he has survived because he knows how to negotiate. Even given the fact that Sessions dealt him a bad hand leading up to the witch hunt, I think that Trump and Sessions are working behind the scenes to drain the swamp. This Feinstein hail mary pass is going to land outside the goal zone. Real American patriots hate the leftists’ ruination of our republic...and I am one of those 90 million patriots who own 300 million guns who WILL physically tar and feather every leftist that tries to impeach President Trump...BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!
The depth of the arsenal is clearly at least a mile - just from the snippets we have already seen.
The only way to ever get to the full truth of all that's transpired in the last three years, is to get an outside forensics auditor to go over everything on his own. The outside investigator gets access to everything. There is no reason to believe that the current DOJ has any interest in exposing the truth.
Relying on the DOJ to tie their own noose for the hangman isn't going to work.
I wonder if there is still a smart assed smirk on Peter Strzok’s face tonight.
According to Nunes there are many things not even yet sent to fulfill the Committee requests!
I thought the Republicans like Nunes, Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan have all seen the redacted copies but I don’t know if they have copies of it. Can they now talk about specific names?
FWIW, I think “Last Refuge”/Sundance said this would NOT happen.
Oops.
Trump is dropping bombs, and the House is going to declassify other documents from its hearings.
Big day. Judge K will be a thing of the past by Monday and now, likely, confirmed quietly.
Anyone think this timing is planned?
Tomorrow, Sept 18, is exactly 210 days since Rachel Brand left DoJ as Assoc AG.
By law and DoJ succession rules, Trump could have the acting replacement AAG (Mr Pannuccio) for 210 days. Now, his clock ran out.
Tomorrow, Trump’s guy, Senate-confirmed Solicitor General Noel Francisco takes over as AAG.
When Rosenstein resigns in disgrace due to the declassifications, Francisco takes over. As Mueller’s boss.
“”Mr. Sessions you have 2 choices, fire Rosenstein and execute my request or I will fire you and Rosenstein and replace you with someone who will respect my office and the Constitution. You decide NOW what you will do!”
Perhaps this: “Mr. Sessions you are to execute my request in 3 business days. Failure to do so will be taken as your resignation.”
Just when your feeling low.
Donald J Thor shows up.
Most definitely!

Tanks in the streets is what Hill’ry was talking about this week. I guess the unelected bureaucrats received their orders from some other place than the White House. hmmm
