I think that report I posted is bogus.drcrinum said:
Makes me wonder: Sessions resigns, and then Rosenstein immediately departs ... Has Rosenstein lost his protective shield? Meaning that Sessions, an ethical man, really doesn't know what Rosenstein has been up to regarding the Mueller investigation and that redacted letter defining the scope of Mueller's authority. Sessions likely has never even seen the FISA documents. With Sessions recused, no one has been looking over Rosenstein's shoulder. He could do whatever he wanted to do, a neat situation to be in if one wanted to cover up certain things such as being a black hat.
Let's just say the probability of that being released has quadrupled since yesterday.MouthBQ98 said:
Unredacted FISA here we come?
I'm not. Just because Trump isn't saying they won't be released. Instead he says, "We are looking into it."MouthBQ98 said:
That's great unless you are talking zero.

Matthew G. Whitaker, the attorney general's chief of staff, jockeyed over the last two months to replace his boss by forging a close relationship with the White House, where he was seen as a reliable political ally. On Wednesday, President Trump fired Jeff Sessions and named Mr. Whitaker acting attorney general, rewarding his loyalty.
Inside the Justice Department, senior officials, including Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, have viewed Mr. Whitaker with intense suspicion. Before his current job at the Justice Department, Mr. Whitaker, a former college football tight end, was openly hostile on television and social media toward the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, and was seen by department officials as a partisan and a White House spy......

Methinks the Deep State is scared of Whitaker.
Something else to consider besides declassifying the FISA & 302 documents...Whitaker will be the recipient of IG Horowitz's report on FISA abuse.VegasAg86 said:
I hope Mr Whitaker goes through the documents and leaves only redactions for actual sources and methods or genuine national security and no concerns about embarrassing anyone.
