Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham has asked Attorney General Bill Barr to declassify key documents related to the FISA abuse investigation.
In a 2-page letter sent to AG Barr, Senator Graham listed 9 categories of classified documents he would like to see made available to the public.
“Since March 28, 2018, the Department’s Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, has been conducting an investigation into the Department’s and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s compliance with legal requirements, and with applicable Department and FBI policies and procedures, in applications filed with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) related to Carter Page. According to Inspector General David Horowitz that investigation is nearing completion,” Graham wrote in the letter.
“In order for the Inspector General to be able to present the most complete results of his investigation to Congress and the American people, certain documents will need to be declassified and released to the public. I write to urge you to declassify all documents the Inspector General identifies as appropriate for declassification as much as possible, without harming national security,” he added.
Thegatewaypundit.com reports: DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz is expected to release his report on FISA abuse any time between mid-September and early October according to reports.
The nine categories described by Graham:
Republican lawmakers such as Rep. Ratcliffe have implied that there is exculpatory evidence in the Papadopoulos transcripts of conversations he had with FBI informants during the 2016 election.
According to reports released by award-winning investigative journalist John Solomon, the FBI hid exculpatory evidence from the FISA court when they obtained spy warrants on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.
Also according to the FISA memo released by ranking member of the House Intelligence panel Devin Nunes, the FBI used the phony, Hillary-funded Russia dossier in order to obtain FISA warrants on Carter Page.
