It seems now that the New York Times is suing to get the background documents released.
But President Trump lowered the shield of secrecy surrounding such materials on Friday by declassifying the Republican memo about Mr. Page,OH, hell yes, give it to them. The Steele dossier has been thoroughly discredited, and as I understand it, was the basis of the FISA warrant int he first place. Whether or not the FBI was aware that they were using the "fruit of a poisoned tree" is subject to interpretation, but I've never been a fan of secret courts anyway. I believe that, except in rare circumstances, courts and their records should e open to the public.
The best antiseptic for corruption is bright sunlight. Let Freedom Ring.
OH yes, I want to see that set of documents too!
