Trump already knows what it says....... he will do it when it best serves his interest and not a moment sooner. Right now it is political gold for him to appear to be the victim and the trend favors him.

*************

These scandals are the worst in American history. They also represent a serious breech of trust by the FBI/DOJ and a blatant attempt to undermine our elections which are the cornerstone of our democracy.

In other words, this is far too serious to play politics with. Trump needs to do this NOW for the sake of the country. We need to know.

“The deep state are just taking the piss, and think of themselves as above everyone”

The US government only keeps secrets from the average citizen. The Washington insiders know the “secrets” as do journalists, foreign spies, politicians, foreign governments, Wikileaks, hackers, news pundits, senior academics, consultants working for the government, and bureaucrats. Washington is a town that lives on secrets and trades secrets for money, power, and ego gratification.

Release all of the information about Russian spying - documents, sources, and taped conversations. When the government says they can’t release information because it would “compromise sources” you know it is a coverup of corruption and misconduct.

Turn the lights on and let’s have full transparency.

I agree. The American Public, and especially those who voted for Trump, are getting a daily dose of cover-up by government employees.

Earlier today I posted a list of FBI/DOJ employees who have been removed or resigned because they all had their hands on the ‘Trumped up’ Russia Election Investigations. These folks would not have left at the top of their career unless they were fired or forced to resign.

Jim Comey FBI Director
Andrew McCabe FBI Deputy Director
James Baker FBI General Counsel
James Rybicki FBI chief of staff
Peter Strzok FBI Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterintelligence Division
Carl Ghattas, FBI executive assistant director of the FBI’s national security branch
Bruce Ohr DOJ Deputy Asst Attorney General
David Laufman DOJ chief Counterintelligence and Export Control Section
Mike Kortan, FBI assistant director for public affairs
Preet Bharara DOJ Manhattan federal prosecutor
Sally Yates DOJ acting attorney general
Lisa Page FBI lawyer
Scott Smith FBI Assistant Director cyber division
David Resch FBI executive asst director of the Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Branch
Jeffrey Tricoli FBI senior cyber agent
Howard Marshall FBI Deputy Assistant Director cyber division

Several of those people, like Ghattas and Resch, are still very much on the job, and Resch has been promoted.

Their actual or planned departures were announced a couple of days ago.

There could be multiple days for the various redacted days of the month.

Perhaps the Judge signed it before the submitters?

Three of the top cybersecurity officials at the FBI are planning to retire in the coming weeks, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

The departing officials are Assistant Director Scott Smith, who runs the FBI’s cyber division; David Resch, the executive assistant director of the Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Branch; and Carl Ghattas, the executive assistant director of the National Security Branch

“Trump already knows what it says”

He may not know. He could be charged with collusion if he asked Sessions what’s in there.

Or something.

The President will get involved but not just now. He has been advised to not get involved yet because the liar media will scream that he’s ‘interfering in an investigation’.

He already has all the unredacted documents. He knows exactly the game Rosenstein is playing.

Timing is everything.

Rosenstein will be gone soon.

And then everyone will see the SHTF.

Appearing on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Dershowitz argued that the vast majority of redactions were meant “to cover up people’s incompetence”

He's being kind. But this was not incompetence, it was not a mistake. It was willful and the cover up is to protect themselves and keep the truth from coming out so there aren't threads to pull that would go beyond them.

I believe something like that is exactly what is going to happen. Unlike so many other wussy Republicans, Trump knows how to play the political game.

Why would they redact the date?

Because there were four total and they don't want anyone to know which one put the cart before the horse?

I hope you're right because an obvious answer to the question "Why doesn't president Trump have these and other incriminating documents un-redacted?" - Something in those documents he doesn't want coming out (heresy, I know). Increasingly that's the conclusion I'm left with. I sure hope I'm wrong.

This whole thing is garbage and is a terrible distraction to the MAGA agenda. None of it has ever explained how any of the alleged shenanigans kept Hillary from campaigning in Wisconsin and Michigan.

Waiting until closer to the mid-terms is a mistake. The continual shifting of the goal posts about when the deep state gets theirs, is a bit disheartening. Its beginning to sap president Trump's support. But what do I know except I'm being lied to and HRC isn't president.

We can only hope and trust that DJT is holding his cards close to his vest until Halloween when releasing this information will absolutely shred the democrats. Please be this true.

Isnt the Gang of 8 suppose to see all documents unredacted? Why are they left out of this or why arent they speaking up.

The two top members of the 4 Intelligence/Judiciary committees. They are running the hearings but are only receiving redacted documents.

The sad part of this is Judicial Watch was the one to get the release.

PDJT is my last hope in this matter, that he will release the documents when the time is right to do MAXIMUM damage to the criminal rat party this November.

What has happened to Alan Dershowitz? Is all of this about Jerusalem?

written by Fox’s Andrew O’Reilly???

take a look at what he tweets/retweets?
TOP ITEM IS A RETWEET OF JOHN MCCAIN TWEET 16 JUL -”Today’s press conference in #Helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory.” AND THE REST OF HIS TWITTER FEED IF NO BETTER.

Twitter: Andrew O’Reilly, Fox News
https://twitter.com/andreworeilly84?lang=en

this is such a deceptive piece of writing. Rubio “also” broke with Trump? there’s no-one else mentioned before Rubio.

O’Reilly doesn’t mention FISA judges were not told fake dossier was funded by Hillary Clinton and DNC.

of course, the dump of these documents - to NYT even before Fitton/JW got them - over the weekend, ensure the Deep State/Swamp/FakeNewsMSM got ahead of the story.

when Fitton told Fox News he was notified he would be getting these documents, he said JW was told they would be delivered via UPS and not email, which is what JW preferred.

by what method did NYT receive them?
