    Progs are the party of illegal spying, why would they be for transparency. They want to limit our access to whatever they decide to illegally leak.

    IG will review declassified docs prior to release ot make sure nothing is revealed that needs to be kept concealed for Nat Security.

    Your analogies are vague and unnecessary. Please deal with the topic.

    It's odd that anyone would claim that Trump wants transparency for political purposes when the reverse is quite clear. Can't see why everyone wouldn't want to know what's been going on.

    I can understand though why the Brits and Aussies may be concerned. Seems like they may have been involved from the beginning.

    A lot of us are looking forward to it, and the MSM reaction.

    You feel that trying to hide all this information from the public is not a political move?

    Transparency is not political, it just is what it is. Everyone can then make up their minds when it all becomes public.

    Laugh In.

    If posters make a clear statement such as I did ...your not listening if you ask me if I said that statement in your very next post and add nothing else! You dont like to type or have your own opinion? Its a political online forum! Just read then many lurkers do. Dont insert your lack of an opinion. Its rude. Engage my opinions with a rebuttal or an addition or dont quote me.

    Sweet mother mary and all the apostles haha

    Nobody is trying to hide anything... these processes (FISA and work texts) were private for a reason.... And based on all I've read, this is no attempt at "transparency" since Trumpie the Clown only wants certain things declassified (things that he thinks will put this investigation in a bad light). He's 100% wrong because the premise is 100% wrong...

    Trump wrong again.... Need to trademark that with some bumper stickers...

    Yeah ... Dearlove is dirty. Downer too. MI6 is at least as shady as the Mueller / Comey era FBI. I wonder how many of the UK's former KGB pensioners were brought in and sponsored by Dearlove and Steele. And how often those KGB pensioners have been, and are being used to confirm Russian involvement in political conspiracies concocted by mercenaries like Steele, and Halper.

    Speaking of foreign influence in our elections, it was largely a British operation.

    But the dossier was 'ordered' and paid for by the Democrats and some never Trump Republicans. And our guy was 'retired'. However, he was actively 'colluding' with his Russian contacts. Heard it through the grapevine, that those 'poisoned' Russians had something to do with the dossier. The term used in the past, used to be 'unwanted witnesses'.

    No Republicans paid for it. Some Republicans uses Fusion GPS to search for Oppo on Trump, but that had nothing to do with Steele and the Clinton campaign.
    For all we know these "Russian contacts" are more fiction from Steele.

    Which explains that some of our close allies, don't want Trump to declassify this information. Makes the British look like they were working closely with Obama to subvert our election.

    If Trump wants 'certain things declassified' then he should go for it. What's wrong with that? And if the Democrats want more information declassified they can push for that also.

    Can I take it that you are not for government 'transparency'?

    That's right. And Australian also apparently.

    It seems everyone else in the world can 'meddle' in US election, including those crossing the borders and going directly to the voting booth, but only the Russians are being centered out. Didn't they understand Obama when he said that Russia is no longer a threat and that the 1980's wanted their foreign policy back?

    I'm confident that the IG will protect sources and methods.

    WHY IS THE NYT SUDDENLY OPPOSED TO DECLASSIFYING THE FISA DOCS?

    Flashback: In November of 2009, at the peak of the “Hide the Decline” global warming scandal, Andrew Revkin, the author of the Times’ enviro-blog wrote, “The documents appear to have been acquired illegally and contain all manner of private information and statements that were never intended for the public eye, so they won’t be posted here.” Michael Goldfarb of the Weekly Standard responded:​

    This is the position of the New York Times when given the chance to publish sensitive information that might hinder the liberal agenda. Of course, when the choice is between publishing classified information that might endanger the lives of U.S. troops in the fieldor intelligence programs vital to national security, that information is published without hesitation by the nation’s paper of record. But in this case — the documents were “never intended for the public eye,” so the New York Times will take a pass.​
