| Nunes: Dems, Journos, Will be Frightened by Declassified Trump-Russian Docs |
| 2018-09-16 |
| [Daily Caller] House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes said this week that Democrats and the media are likely to be "frightened" by the information contained in Trump-Russia documents that Republicans are asking President Trump to declassify. Speaking at an event hosted by the Center for Security Policy on Thursday, Nunes said that Trump is close to declassifying portions of a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant granted against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. On July 21, the Justice Department released heavily redacted versions of four FISA warrants granted against Page from Oct. 2016 through June 2017.

Republicans have accused the FBI of abusing the FISA process by citing the dossier even though it was unverified and financed by Democrats as part of an opposition research project. Before that release, Nunes and other Republicans on the House Intelligence panel sent a letter to Trump calling on him to declassify and release 21 pages of the fourth and final FISA warrant. |

| #4 Is Nunes the new Gowdy? Both sides seem to be in a "this time it's really gonna happen!" spiral. For varying definitions of "it". |

| #3 Let me know when this results in charges being brought up on any of them. Until that happens it's just more bullshit kabuki theater. |

| #2 Should be an interesting week. 1. Declassification of 21 pages and maybe other related documents. 2. James O'Keefe release of Deep State expose. |
