Trump to declassify key FISA documents, text messages in FBI Russia probe

BREAKING: President Trump ordered the declassification of some key documents regarding the FBI probe of Russia's part in the 2016 presidential election, including an application for a renewed surveillance warrant against Carter Page, a Trump campaign aide, along with text messages from disgraced FBI officials and adulterers Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said POTUS ordered the documents released "[a]t the request of a number of committees of Congress, and for reasons of transparency."

Specifically, the documents to be declassified also include 12 FBI reports on interviews with DOJ official Bruce Ohr and all FBI reports on interviews prepared on connection with all other applications to surveil Carter Page.

Trump also ordered the DOJ to release text messages from key players in the Russia investigation "without redaction" --including fired FBI Director James Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, Ohr, Strzok and Lisa Page.

The date and method of release has not yet been released.

About two weeks ago, 12 Republican members of Congress asked Trump to declassify the June 2017 application for a warrant against Carter Page and for FBI reports of interviews with Ohr.

This may turn out to be groundbreaking information that may cause a few, if not many, heads to roll.

More to come as information becomes available.

POTUS pulls Brennan's security clearance

President Trump has revoked former CIA director John Brennan's security clearance on Wednesday. What took so long?

This is the first decision from a review of access for several top Obama administration intelligence and law enforcement officials.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read a statement on behalf of President Trump at the start of the press briefing. She read that Brennan "has a history that calls his credibility into question."

The statement said that Brennan was "leveraging" his clearance to make "wild outbursts" and claims against the present administration.

"The president has a constitutional responsibility to protect classified information and who has access to it, and that's what he's doing is fulfilling that responsibility in this action," Sanders said.

The White House is also looking into the security clearances of other former officials and Trump critics, including former FBI director James "Lordy" Comey; former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe; former director of national intelligence James "Not Wittingly" Clapper; and former CIA director Michael Hayden.

The statement also mentioned Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, former FBI agent Peter Strzok, and former FBI special counsel Lisa Page [the married woman Strzok was having an extra-marital affair with].

Sanders said, "This is specific to Mr. Brennan and the others are currently under review."

And if they're allowed to keep their clearances, Trump will be making a yooge mistake.
