President Donald Trump has demanded the “immediate declassification” of sensitive materials about the Russia investigation, but the agencies responsible are expected to propose redactions that would keep some information secret, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The Justice Department, FBI and Office of the Director of National Intelligence are going through a methodical review and can’t offer a timeline for finishing, said the people, who weren’t authorized to speak publicly about the sensitive matter.

The White House issued a statement on Monday listing material that Trump wants declassified immediately, echoing demands of Republican lawmakers who share his contention that the continuing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election was tainted by anti-Trump bias well before Robert Mueller was named special counsel to run it.

Among Trump’s demands was the full public release of all text messages concerning the Russia probe by Justice Department official Bruce Ohr and by several former officials, including two who were fired -- former FBI Director James Comey and his deputy, Andrew McCabe. One person described the order to release text messages as unprecedented, and another said additional talks will probably be held with the White House over the matter.

The Justice Department and FBI are expected to submit their documents and proposed redactions to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which will assemble all the material into a package and hand it over to the White House, according to the people.

I imagine even federal employees can be fired for insubordination.

Tell Rosenstein and Wray to release the docs unredacted and do it forthwith and give them 2 weeks. If they are not out by then or they get cute and send out heavily redacted versions. Fire their asses. That's insubordination. Make it public and don't mince words

Release absolutely everything, from everyone. Texts, emails, letters, everything pertaining to their roles as employees and elected officials. More than enough non-government watchdogs to pour over all of it.

End this whole charade once and for all.

So this is not full resistance it's partial resistance.

It will all come out.

I bet they redact dates. "They" need the dates hidden until the midterms are over. The dates expose a Democrat cooperating media.

Why?

Because James Wolfe, aid to the Senate Intelligence Committee, was fed the FISA documents with an October 19th date. The media published articles with the October 19th date. They subsequently corrected the mistake with an October 21st date. It was a canary trap by Trump IC friendlies to catch leakers. James Wolfe was caught leaking to Ali Watkins. This canary trap proves the media received the full FISA from James Wolfe minus a change in a date or two.

This will substantiate that the media is/was a co-conspirator with other resistance factions in the government.

Not only will it prove that the media (NYTs, WaPo, and Buzzfeed) have had a full copy of the FISA warrant (minus a couple of dates purposely changed) it will show that their news coverage has been totally contrary to the information in the FISA warrant. In other words they were writing stories that were wrong and pure propaganda despite having source documentation.

Every request for redaction should be provided in original unredacted form with a justification to redact.

Anything less should not be acceptable.

And this is why Trump needed to do this sooner than later. It did not need to become lost as an "October Surprise".

If the President said unredacted he meant it. He is the President. They are putting their heads into a noose and giving him the excuse he needs to clean house at FBI and DOJ. Trump does not suffer fools. Likely he will tell them to do as they are told or be fired.

And when we get the materials and the public sees why they have been covering up...there will be hell to pay.
