In order for that to be released un-redacted, Wray and either Sessions or Rosenstein will have to sign off on the release. Trump can’t just do it on his own. There are procedures that must be followed.
Trump may have to fire one or all of them for the un-redacted forms to be released. They can’t be released without their signatures.

Tell me how this works. Trump can declassify but who has the authority to release the docs? Isn't that RR?

Congress already has them, if Trump declassifies they will be made public

Please, dear God, don't let Sean Hannity do a "tick tock" on this!

The President (Chief Executive) wants to declassify the FISA application material as requested. The President requests the DOJ and FBI to remove the requested redacted portions of the Carter Page FISA application. Specifically: “pages 10-12 and 17-34 and relevant footnotes, all of the Bruce Ohr 302s and other relevant documents, including exculpatory evidence regarding Carter Page and others, that were presented to the Gang of Eight, but not presented to the FISA Court.” So President Trump requests his FBI Director and Attorney General to declassify those documents as requested by congress. However, if the FBI Director and/or Attorney General refuse to declassify those documents, then what happens?
Article explains how Rosenstein and Wray have to sign off on release or be fired for someone who will, in detail

He should. When he does, the right will scream foul, and the left will scream everything was legal. Not a thing will change.

Only gang of eight has seen all the un-redacted files.

Article 2 is hard...

He's the head of the Executive Branch.

Period.

He could declassify everything, right now, if he wanted to.

Yes he can order then to be declassified but Wray and Rosenstein have to sign it for release. He may have to fire them and put someone in that WILL sign for the release. They are betting he won’t fire them. Read the article I posted

time for a real mother fricking Spartacus moment then

If the Republicans had any balls whatsoever the whole God damn caucus would call a press conference and say we are all releasing it. Try arresting everybody.

That’s the problem
Paul Ryan, Flake, Coker, McConnel and Sasse among others like Rubio would have a cow if he fired Wray, Rosenstein or Sessions.
That’s what we are dealing with. Never Trump establishment traitors that all knew about it and were part of the establishment that made millions off of all their “Foundations “
