President Trump spoke to Sean Hannity on the phone Wednesday night, and he made a huge vow. Tremendous, really. He plans to release the FISA documents the FBI used to look into his campaign. It’s time we see what they were really up to.

“I do, I have plans to declassify and release,” Trump told Hannity. “I have plans to absolutely release.”

“I have some very talented people working for me, lawyers, and they really didn’t want me to do it early on,” he continued. “A lot of people wanted me to do it a long time ago. I’m glad I didn’t do it. We got a great result without having to do it, but we will. One of the reasons that my lawyers didn’t want me to do it, is they said, if I do it, they’ll call it a form of obstruction.”

“Frankly, thought it would be better if we held it to the end. But at the right time, we will be absolutely releasing,” he added.

Hannity: "Do you have plans to release those FISA applications…the 302s of Bruce Ohr and others…?"

This is huge. Essentially, we’ll get to see a big chunk of the basis for the entire investigation. It’s not going to be a good look for Trump’s opponents, that’s for sure.

Trump also accused FBI officials of committing “treason” — slamming former FBI Director James Comey as a “terrible guy,” former CIA Director John Brennan as potentially mentally ill, and Democrat House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff as a criminal.

Redacted versions of FISA documents already released have revealed that the FBI extensively relied on documents produced by Christopher Steele, an anti-Trump British ex-spy working for a firm funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee, to surveil Trump aide Carter Page. At least one senior DOJ official had apparent concerns Steele was unreliable, according to text messages exclusively obtained last week by Fox News.
