Quote:Among Trump’s demands was the full public release of all text messages concerning the Russia probe by Justice Department official Bruce Ohr and by several former officials, including two who were fired -- former FBI Director James Comey and his deputy, Andrew McCabe. One person described the order to release text messages as unprecedented, and another said additional talks will probably be held with the White House over the matter.

The Justice Department and FBI are expected to submit their documents and proposed redactions to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which will assemble all the material into a package and hand it over to the White House, according to the people.

Screw the gd redactions and stop dickin' around with this. This is a direct order from the president of the United States who has full authority to make the demand.

"assemble all the material into a package"........sounds like more dragging of the feet. Both pubs and dims have seen the information, they know what's in it. There is no top secret crapola there. Release the documents. It's not like a surprise that this request was made as pubs have been asking for the release of this specific information on the FISA warrant for months.

Quote:Critics, including leading congressional Democrats, contend that Trump has crossed a line by ordering release of the documents in order to interfere with and undermine the Russia investigation in which he’s a key figure.

“President Trump, in a clear abuse of power, has decided to intervene in a pending law enforcement investigation by ordering the selective release of materials he believes are helpful to his defense team and thinks will advance a false narrative,” Representative Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said in a statement on Monday.

What's to undermine in the Russian investigation? It was either legit or it wasn't, no? Stop dickin' around.

Not sure what the definition of undermine is in this case? Releasing of all of this information only illuminates..... Redacting (Er.... I mean hiding) would be undermining - no?

What possible harm can be done by releasing the information? Seriously.

I am aware of problems with leaking and sources. But what sources would there be here that would be endangered by making the information public?

Nothing to see here..

Can't let him unredact it casue it undermines an active investigation.

Heard this before.

If it shows transparency how does it undermine an active investigation, wouldn't it help?

If you have to redact the text messages, then you are admitting that classified info was transmitted via unsecure methods, and those people should then be in prison.

Unredact, or Levenworth. Your choice deep state.

The only reason they want to redact anything is they are trying CYA., isn’t Obama the one who wanted transparency, now we are finally getting it.

They say he is abusing his powers. Of course that statement, by default, acknowledges that he does, if fact, have the powers necessary to do this. If they sent me one document with even a single redaction that I did not approve in advance I would fire every one in the process for insubordination. That's Swamp Draining right there.

What we have learned so far for things that have been redacted and latter unredacted is that none of the initial redactions were a matter of national security. Obama actually pushed through legislation that made hiding info to hide "embarrassment" a crime as part of his "transparency" push. Of course that was obviously for show and so he could see what he wanted. However, like with most dirty pool dems play when they are in power, it now comes back to bite them.

There are a number of sources that provided data to the FBI on Carter Page. Interestingly, they're all named Christopher Steele.

more dah-mage to the donks.....

@noose

If they're putting information in texts that reveal sources, I'm pretty sure they're probably doing something illegal right there.

yepper....

The FBI and DOJ doing what they do best...subterfuge. It's simple. There's a lot of people in those two organizations that need to be looking for another job...now.

Simple solution: fire whoever is responsible for the redactions for insubordination. The President of the United States gave them a lawful order to release the information without redactions. The President of the United States is the ultimate authority on what is and isn't classified. If you fail to follow said lawful order then you are being insubordinate and should be immediately terminated.

Just remember---the White House has unredacted copies of all this material and can declassify all of it (in fact, it already has) and release it anytime they wish. October is less than 2 weeks away. Remember my prediction? Its playing out just as I suspected it would. The DOJ will now fail to comply with a direct request from a not only a co-equal branch of government that has oversight power (Congress)----but with the actual Commander and Chief of the same branch of government that exercises TOTAL control over the DOJ. In effect--a department of the executive branch is essentially trying to pretend it is a 4th branch of government. In October---they will find out they are not a 4th coequal branch of government.

For a group of people who claims they are winning, I can't understand why your crying is literally non-stop. I'm glad I'm losing and enjoying a better quality of life. I haven't cried all year.

Where are all the rank and file FBI and DOJ employees? It's eerily similar to all the "good muslims" that are afraid of the islamic terrorists.
