Why Won't Trump Release the FISA Warrant Application?

Think about that.
Trumpt and his administration have repeatedly accused the FBI and/or the Obama DOJ of improperly using the "salacious" Steele dossier in order to get the FISA warrant issued and to conduct illegal surveillance on the Trump campaign.
But, even though Trump, as president, can release the warrant application and prove that the FBI and/or OJ acted improperly to have the FISA warrant issued, he has chosen not to. This is spite of the fact that even conservative pundits are calling for Trump to release the FISA information, including staunchly conservative Andrew CMcCarthy, of the National Review.
Could the reason Trump won't release the FISA warrant information be that there was nothing improper about the warrant or how it was issued, and Trump wants to continue to use the warrant accusations to discredit the FBI and DOJ as part of his escalating campaign to justifying the firing of Mueller or Rosenstein.
There's no other logical reason Trump won't release it.

Will he or won’t he?
Will President Trump order the disclosure of any warrant applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (the FISA Court) in which the Justice Department and FBI presented any information derived from the Steele dossier?
We don’t need to imperil national security. There is no need to disclose the entirety of any application. There is no need to expose intelligence sources or methods of gathering information — they can be redacted. We don’t even need to see any actual application; a declassified summary of the relevant information will do. We just need to know if what administration supporters are saying is true: In seeking surveillance authority on the rationale that Trump associates were acting as agents of a foreign power, did the Justice Department and the FBI present the FISA court with the Steele dossier as if it were a product of U.S. intelligence reporting — rather than what it really was, a political opposition-research product commissioned by the Clinton campaign?.

Ummm...he would be blasted by your side for doing so assuming that he really can release the FISA warrant as you assume.

Did the public even know what this was a year ago?
Isn’t everything about FISA top secret? Has a FISA warrant ever been released?

Maybe its because he doesn't want to frick around with evidence that's part of an ongoing investigation?
Maybe he has a department that is responsible for investigations and letting them handle it?
Maybe the time hasn't presented itself yet (waiting for right moment)?
Maybe he has a few million other things on his plate?
Maybe someone in his cabinet recommended he not release it for undisclosed reasons?
Why hasn't he used presidential power to obtain all the sealed Obama documents that were carted off under the guises of "Obama's Presidential LIbrary"?
Could be anything.

We'll have something really, really great for you coming really soon

I think he'd rather play it like a slow drip as it is now. Death by a 1000 cuts as they say.

He is pretty much "winning" this as it is.
His "ratings" aren't going to improve based upon this release. Hell, he keeps getting CNN, et al, to have to back track on story after story.
He'd be a fool to remove this issue at this point.

because that "would be" obstruction of justice unless and untill the SC is dissolved, for now, only mueller is the one who decides to release that or not
nice try though

Why would he release the ace up his sleeve? He knows he has it, but as your post indicates, his enemies don’t know if he’s bluffing or not.

He is thinking 3 steps ahead of you

The answer is "patience is a virtue" tex. All in good time. If disclosure and/or exposure of anti-Trump corruption is inevitable, far better to allow divulgence in the normal course rather than forcing it.

Trump knows that the Intel Community's ability to monitor terrorism is an essential National Security issue. He must have that power. And if Congress - just the hard core Right - finds out, they will be forced to throw and wrench in the whole Renewal of said Law. It's coming up to vote shortly; will be interesting to see how it works out.
That said, I think it's Sessions that is sitting on that hot potato; His time is limited, just like Meuller. Pressure building.

He would be accused of trying interfere in an investigation.

Other than that it would be a bad practice to start?

They probably haven’t manufactured it yet, that is probably what the Mueller team is doing. The government has to get all their lies and evidence together before they release things.

Probably should have looked at the thread start date. These bumped threads are killing me.

quote:The left still will spin it to attempt to make Trump look wrong. He released the entire transcript of the call with the Ukrainian president almost immediately after Democrats started accusing him of quid pro quo and bribery. That hasn't stopped them from pushing forward with the impeachment nonsense.
But, even though Trump, as president, can release the warrant application and prove that the FBI and/or OJ acted improperly to have the FISA warrant issued, he has chosen not to.
