    Trump Orders Declassification of Some FBI Russia Probe Reports

    President Donald Trump ordered the declassification of parts of a previously secret warrant application from October 2016 to eavesdrop on Carter Page, a former foreign policy adviser to his presidential campaign who was flagged by intelligence agencies as a target of Russian interest.

    He also ordered the declassification of FBI reports on interviews related to Page as well as reports of interviews with Department of Justice official Bruce Ohr regarding the Russia investigation, according to a Monday statement from White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.

    Trump also ordered the public release of all text messages relating to the Russia investigation of several current and former officials, including two who were fired -- former FBI Director James Comey and his deputy, Andrew McCabe.

    Trump took the rare step after a small group of conservative House Republicans asked him to declassify documents related to the Justice Department’s Russia investigation.

    The president and his allies have claimed the documents will expose fatal flaws in the origin of the investigation, which is now run by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and includes whether Trump or any of his associates conspired with Russia to interfere in the election. Trump has referred to the surveillance of Page as "Spy-Gate” and has called the broader a “witch hunt” that is “rigged” against him.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Let's see what happens. As much as I can't stand Trump and won't be sad to see him go, I'm also so annoyed with the, "Muh Russia," crap that I think it either needs to get proven or find it's way into a dumpster fire once and for all.

            Obviously releasing secret information is part of the coverup that Trump is a part of.

                    In his mind he thinks that the distraction will help him in his desperation, but he's just both stupid, and carelessly dangerous.

                      Given your noted inability to read my mind, I suspect you're not any better at reading his - not that that'll stop you.

                      I hope you and your compatriots keep underestimating him, though; makes it easier for him to get things done.

                        And what will you say when it's revealed that the FBI did some really sketchy stuff to obtain their warrants and start the Trump investigation? Are you aware that even Lisa Page and Peter Strzok were never entirely convinced that the Russian narrative had any meat to it?

                        From the Inspector General's report:

                        May 18, 2017: Mueller was appointed Special Counsel on May 17, 2017. The next day Strzok and Page exchanged text messages in a discussion of whether Strzok should join the Special Counsel’s investigation. Strzok wrote: “For me, and this case, I personally have a sense of unfinished business. I unleashed it with MYE [Midyear Exam, the investigation into Clinton’s emails]. Now I need to fix it and finish it.” Later in the same exchange, Strzok, apparently while weighing his career options, made this comparison: “Who gives a ****, one more A[ssistant] D[irector]…[versus] [a]n investigation leading to impeachment?” Later in this exchange, Strzok stated, “you and I both know the odds are nothing. If I thought it was likely I’d be there no question. I hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern there’s no big there there”

                        And in Page's testimony under oath before Congress, she said that before the Mueller appointment:

                        It still existed in the scope of possibility that there would be literally nothing...


                        https://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...r-appointment/

                        That sound you hear are the wheels coming off the "Russian collusion" narrative.

                          So, let's see... actually revealing the facts instead of masking them.... you really live in a screwed up world.

                            This is a blatant abuse of power, obstruction of justice and interference with an ongoing investigation. Trump knows how to play a crowd though.

                              Why, cause it might make Rachel look bad? (I mean worse) POTUS has the right to declassify documents.

                              IF Trump has them declassified, and IF they reveal that the Russian investigation was politically motivated, he would be REVEALING a for-really abuse of power.

                              Why are you afraid of these things being brought to light?
