The document release issue is now way beyond insane. There is no legitimate national security reason for refusing to release incriminating documents and that is the only conceivable reason for the stone walling. Let’s get real. All talk and no action. It is high time Trump calls the obstructionist hand and orders the release forthwith.
True. But you could have (and probably did) say the same thing when Schiff released his response to Nunes. Both Nunes and Schiff's documents contain redacted details (Schiff's has more). Schiff claims those details are about corroborating evidence for the dossier and other independent sources that make the FISA application legitimate.
But now we know some of those redactions. In fact if you look at Schiff's document you can see where a redaction has enough room for "an FBI informant" and the "t" is partly visible. A latter redaction probably explain that the particular informat was Halper. Other redactions probably contain the names of Mifsud and others paid by the FBI to spy on the campaign.
Why do we need to know these names now (or back then)? The fact is, we don't. They are still secret FBI sources and should be left secret until around Sept. Then by October the names can be released along with the IG report with more details of improper (or illegal) FBI activity, and undoudtedly other material that backs up spygate.
Why Septemeber or so? I'll answer that with a question: why the rush?
