American Thinker: Journalist Paul Sperry tweeted on August 5, 2018 that we should look this month for President Donald Trump to “declassify 20 redacted pages of the June 2017 FISA renewal.” Sperry is referring to a Portable Document Format file released on July 21, 2018 by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which contains heavily redacted versions of four Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant applications to conduct surveillance of Carter Page, who had been a foreign policy adviser to presidential candidate Donald Trump. Even with the redactions, the June 2017 warrant application is damning for deputy United States attorney general Rod Rosenstein.
The June 2017 warrant application begins on PDF page 292, with the title “VERIFIED APPLICATION.” On PDF page 379, it states: “The FBI has reviewed this verified application for accuracy in accordance with its April 5, 2001 procedures[.]” On PDF pages 390-391, it states the following under the heading “APPROVAL”:
I find that this application regarding Carter W. Page satisfies the criteria and requirements for such applications set forth in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, as amended, and hereby approve its filing with this Court. [redacted] Accordingly, I approve the filing of this application regarding Carter W. Page with the Court [redacted][.]
This APPROVAL is signed on PDF page 391 by Rosenstein.
The unredacted portions of the June 2017 warrant application reveal two deceptions by Rosenstein that have not received sufficient attention. The first is that Rosenstein told the FISA judge that the information from former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele that was in the warrant application was “verified” but failed to tell the FISA judge that a month earlier, Steele admitted that his information was “unverified.” After Steele’s dossier was published in early 2017, Steele was sued for libel in Great Britain. On page seven of Steele’s response to interrogatories in that case, Steele stated: MORE
will be interesting to see how they spin this.
Those awaited for 20 redacted pages have probably already been distributed. And that could have a lot to do with all the commotion going on- the censoring and losing of accounts by alternative press.
“First, we know from overwhelming circumstantial evidence, conveniently overlooked by media, that one of Wolfe’s specific leaks involved sending his concubine Ali Watkins a copy of the 82-page FISA application used to gain a Title-1 surveillance warrant against U.S. person Carter Page. {Full Backstory Here} Some key things about this leak:
1). It is highly likely there were no redactions in the copy Wolfe leaked to the media.
2). It is highly likely Wolfe was caught in a leak hunt, and the copy given to him included a specific, and intentionally wrong, internal date using October 19th as the origination date for FISA application approval. (The actual date was Oct 21st)….”

He got caught by the bogus date. He emailed her 82 pages. I doubt he emailed redacted pages (that were totally blacked out). It was probably distributed widely among the press.
I don’t think there is a way to spin this, other than just drag it until it wears out.
If it was distributed among the press, it could be argued it is already public. Alternatively, a Senator could read it into the record with immunity. That is what feinstein did with a classified document a few short months ago.
