Contrary to some reports, President Trump is entitled to see any records related to the surveillance of him and his associates as “consumer-in-chief” of U.S. intelligence, a Justice Department lawyer familiar with national security procedures says. That would include FBI and Justice Department (DOJ) applications for surveillance warrants to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, or FISC.
“I don't see how DOJ and FBI can refuse... and the president has the authority to declassify whatever he wants...,” the official told Newsweek on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak with the media.
The White House does not need to get the court’s records, the official added, because “both DOJ and FBI would hold copies of all signed orders, and DOJ at least will have the applications, too.”

◾Knowingly using or distributing a fake document
The penalty for falsifying government documents is outlined in the Crimes Act of 1958.
Like Obambi and his fake "Selective Service" from the post office
You need to read it yourself sport. A president is not a dictator, but he IS the absolute leader of the executive branch. Nobody in an agency in that branch answers to anyone other than him.
To make it simple for you, an FBI agent writes a report. He cannot tell the FBI director or the Attorney general they may not see it. Yet, you assert that may hide it from their direct supervisor.
Unconstitutional on its face. You are setting up a 4th branch of government. An executive area, that can refuse a president’s oversight, and which does not also answer to any other branch.
What have you named that new branch of yours? The Seattle branch of the government?
Congress, Judicial, Executive, and “Seattle”.
So the Executive Branch doesn’t have to follow the laws of the United States, I know someone who agrees with you.....
OBAMA!
For later.
L
Levin showed the copies on Fox and friends already!
Faux News is owned by Obama-friendly elites.....a few great personalities, mostly closet libs pretending to be ‘fair & balanced’.....
The other day a NY Democrat Senator slipped up & said Bill O’Really was a supporter......(Watter’s honesty makes a World of difference)
McCarthy posted that article at 8 am about the same time Levin was on Fox with the copies!
“Comey just turned on Trump (again).”
Time to fire his @ss.
Egg....zactly.
I didn’t post the entire range of documents.....but that one surely requires a look-see.
What about Tom Cotton’s interview on Fox later in the day? ( I mistakenly identified him as Trey Gowdy earlier in this thread.)
I don’ t know what Levin showed, but I doubt it was definitive. I don’ t follow him on regular basis.
Didn’t he threaten Trump?
Fox is also running some headlines and coverage against Trump. BS about Sessions “lying” and Trump “contacts” with Russians. This is all dog dirt.
They have become CNN/MSNBC dressed in better clothing....
Not once have I heard one of their anchors/reporters definitively ask
What is the proof of Russian interference.
How did it happen, when, by whom, and what was involved.
Lots of weasel wording / hum..... on this latest.
Simple question...
Did the prior administration at any point surveil in any manner the Trump organization.
While you are at it for Russian tie ins - what about the uranium deposits the state department sold , followed almost simultaneously with major dollars for Billy Jeff to deliver speeches in Russia....
“He never in a million years thought that Trump would succeed him, so he left paper trails right and left.”
Ding, ding, ding! You may have just answered why Obama did not pardon Clinton. I go down, you go down!
You're getting warmer. :-) Very likely so LoL. Trump wants the DU Media and the rest of the Marooons twist in the wind for awhile. Little lefty NewsWeak brain farted somewhat toward the truth.
Not necessarily- the NY Times has anonymous sources claiming Comey said Obama didn’t order it, which could be true in that the order more likely came from Lynch or some other individual so as to leave him with plausible deniability, much as Hillary’s underlings understood to strip the classified markings from materials they transmitted for Hillary... without having to be ordered to do so. or it could be false and the times is just doing what Gowdy warned about and are just blowing snow.
Agree. They never go direct on anything so they can deny everything and let the scalps be taken elsewhere.
No, the lying NYT infers that Comey said Barry did not personally order the wiretaps. That is a long way from Comey turning.
And calling on the DOJ to clarify/deny may be his way of payback to Loretta et al for passing the Hilly hot potato to him
