DOJ OFFICIALS: 31 lawmakers have viewed a largely unredacted version of the Carter Page FISA applications. Devin Nunes, who has demanded the president declassify large swaths, is *not* one of them.
10 House Intelligence Committee Republicans and 7 House Intelligence Committee Democrats are among them. Nunes is one of three committee Republicans who didn't see the document for himself.
Yet all 13 Republicans signed a letter over the weekend to President Trump calling on him to declassify swaths of the FISA that were redacted in the public version.

Almost every aspect of this is untrue.
There’s no evidence Mueller’s team did anything except follow DOJ policy when it reissued Strzok and Page’s phones to new agents. There texts were reviewed and deemed immaterial, per IG report. oig.justice.gov/reports/2018/i…

Gowdy and Goodlatte acknowledge they essentially didn’t get to finish their investigation of the FBI and DOJ, ask successors and GOP senators to continue investigating.
They launched it in Oct 2017. Dems say they don’t intend to continue it, calling it a partisan effort to undermine Mueller.
Note the cc list includes Graham, the next Senate Judiciary Committee chairman. Excludes Schiff despite including Nunes and Dems.

BREAKING: The FBI *deputy director* is directly rebuffing a GOP request to vet/redact witness transcripts by Christmas Eve -- a deadline he says is not possible without risking classified info.

He, not too subtly, notes the "legal requirement" they have not to disclose such info
GOP lawmakers, who will be giving up power in the House next month, sent 3,400 pages of witness interviews for FBI on Wednesday, according to FBI.

"Your committee has not afforded the FBI the time necessary" to review by Christmas Eve -- which he notes in italics.
"Moreover, given the nature of the topics covered with the witnesses ... the transcripts ... may contain classified information."

Calls for full review by FBI, DOJ and Special Counsel Mueller's team, "as appropriate."

Carter Page's 2017 FISA warrent was...82 pages long.

James Wolfe, the indicted former SSCI document handler, texted NYT's reporter Ali Watkins exactly 82 text messages on March 17, 2017, the day the SSCI got the FISA warrant from DOJ IG Horowitz.

themarketswork.com/2018/08/02/rev…
When the public versions of Carter Page's FISA warrants were released, of the 82 pages in it, a full THIRTY SEVEN were *completely redacted*.

There is no way Wolfe took a pic of 37 completely redacted pages and then texted them to Watkins.
This top secret level, unredacted version of the Carter Page FISA warrant was given directly to the committee members who sit on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence [SSCI]. Those members have the highest level security clearances, so nothing was redacted.

1) This is my #Qanon thread for July 29, 2018.

Q posts can be found here: qanon.pub

My theme: FISA is the Foundation
2) Many people have given up hope that corrupt government officials will ever be prosecuted. We've been programmed by years of experience to believe they've rigged the system in a way that will forever allow them to evade prosecution.
#Qanon
3) There is no disappointment without expectation.

Many of us have unrealistic expectations of what the prosecution of corruption looks like. We want arrests and we want them yesterday and until the crooks are in jail, we won't be satisfied.

NEWS: DOJ official says 31 lawmakers have viewed a largely unredacted version of the carter page FISA applications - and devin nunes, who demanded over the weekend that the president declassify pages of it, has not personally viewed it.
the DOJ says it has met the historically high demands of house lawmakers for documents washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice-d…
DOJ told meadows & jordan that it had fulfilled all docs requests except one that would be done in a week, & another that is ongoing (both from same house judiciary subpoena).

but yet, meadows, jordan & 9 others have filed their impeachment resolution against rod rosenstein.

This is a very important piece in the Carter Page #FISA documents put together yesterday evening by @DavidKris. You should read it.
One note on Kris’s first point, that the disclosure of a FISA application is alone monumental, even if redacted heavily, as this one is:
Back in the mid-1990s, as a young reporter for Legal Times, I wrote a long piece on the FISA Court and process, about which almost nothing substantial had previously been written.
