Releasing this document in this form by the Left and its allies in the FBI, DOJ and other entities is a breathtakingly arrogant and desperate doubling down to delay its real, readable, and usable release.
When was the last time it was really supposed to have been released, but wasn’t? Back at the beginning of June sometime?
So that bought them two or so more months of delay. Now, we figure at least two more months of fruitless haggling behind closed doors about what else needs to be unredacted which is going to bring them closer to Election Day 2018.
All the while this is going on, they are going to be probing and poking, looking for something, ANYTHING on Trump...that he picks his nose, or has made some comment on tape about anything they haven’t found yet.
Or, they can keep up the work on his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen, flattering him here, threatening him there, building up resentments, talking in his ear about how Trump misused him and deserted him, all the while pawing through the millions of documents they seized looking for SOMETHING.
You almost have to admire them, in their treacherous cunning rear-guard action, trying to make it to election day, and then hope for victory so they can make all of this go away. Aided by the media, and politicians of both Left and Right, the entertainment business and universities, they are engaging in a vicious, 24x7 smear, disinformation, and manufactured outrage campaign.
Mark my words. This is a concerted effort to get to election day without releasing a usable FISA Warrant, and hoping for a Leftist majority in Congress to be elected.
Trump has continuously let the FBI and DOJ delay and obfuscate the release of documents. Way past time for trump to pit sessions out to pasture and hire someone who will actually clean house.
This should be more than sufficient to get RosenWeasel a rendition trip to Gitmo’.
The left fought it all the way
Tom Fitton the tenacious bull dog at Judicial Watch and an honest judge made this happen
You haven’t been paying attention
President Trump has declassification authority.
October may be full of surprises.
The goofy part is that they made the DOJ version viewable to all the House Intelligence Committee last spring. Tom Fitton was looking for a FISA Court version to see if they were the same version as viewed by Congress.
With all the redactions we'll likely never know. At least until there is serious housecleaning in FBI/DOJ? Will that ever happen? I'm starting to wonder...
Same with the heavily redacted Schif report which also spelled out the "case" against Trump with probably much of the same redactions as this report. But the thing is, since then we have learned about many of the redactions: FBI informants, Halper, sting operations, and lots of other malfeasance by the FBI. There was never a Trump investigation, only a Trump hit. That information is slowly getting out.
Mark my words. This is a concerted effort to get to election day without releasing a usable FISA Warrant, and hoping for a Leftist majority in Congress to be elected.
Of course. But we still have 4 months. The leftist push won't be diminished by firing Mueller now or other activity. They will still accuse Trump of "undermining" which is equivalent in their eyes, but not to more rational people. The rational voters will hear more about FBI malfeasance. Strzok was not good for the FBI. The general public has still not heard of the Ohrs and many others. That will definitely be remedied before November.
It reminds one of the C.S. Lewis quote in “The Last Battle”:
“They have chosen cunning instead of belief. Their prison is only in their minds, yet they are in that prison; and so afraid of being taken in that they cannot be taken out.”
It’s not going to work. Carter Page was working for the FBI and against Russia.
Hillary and DNC paid for the Steele-Kremlin Dossier.
Nothing of this was told to the FISA Court. It’s a problem.
