Trump: I'm Going to Declassify Those Redacted FISA Application Pages That Supposedly Establish My Guilt and Would Result in My Impeachment if the Public Knew About Them

Yeah, all the evidence of his guilt has been lurking secretly in those redacted pages -- redacted to spare him, not the FBI! -- but he's going to rat on himself anyway.

Statement of the Press Secretary

At the request of a number of committees of Congress, and for reasons of transparency, the President has directed the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Justice (including the FBI) to provide for the immediate declassification of the following materials: (1) pages 10-12 and 17-34 of the June 2017 application to the FISA court in the matter of Carter W. Page; (2) all FBI reports of interviews with Bruce G. Ohr prepared in connection with the Russia investigation; and (3) all FBI reports of interviews prepared in connection with all Carter Page FISA applications.

In addition, President Donald J. Trump has directed the Department of Justice (including the FBI) to publicly release all text messages relating to the Russia investigation, without redaction, of James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and Bruce Ohr.

Unredacted.

Commenters mention comparing the redacted texts to the unredacted ones -- to establish these redactions are about sparing the DOJ/FBI embarrassment, not protecting nationals security.

Here's the Fletch theme and other pieces from the movie to get you in the mood for the coming twists. (Which may be flaming skull worthy.)
