Sept. 18—Late afternoon on Monday, Sept. 17, the White House Office of the Press Secretary issued the following statement from the Press Secretary, which we include here in its entirety:

STATEMENT FROM THE PRESS SECRETARY

Issued on: September 17, 2018

At the request of a number of committees of Congress, and for reasons of transparency, the President has directed the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Justice (including the FBI) to provide for the immediate declassification of the following materials: (1) pages 10-12 and 17-34 of the June 2017 application to the FISA court in the matter of Carter W. Page; (2) all FBI reports of interviews with Bruce G. Ohr prepared in connection with the Russia investigation; and (3) all FBI reports of interviews prepared in connection with all Carter Page FISA applications.

In addition, President Donald J. Trump has directed the Department of Justice (including the FBI) to publicly release all text messages relating to the Russia investigation, without redaction, of James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and Bruce Ohr.

According to press accounts on Monday evening, the documents will be released “expeditiously” with the FISA application coming first, together with the FBI interview reports of Bruce Ohr and Carter Page. It is anticipated that the text messages will take a longer time to release. This dramatic action by the President occurs at the same time as a grand jury in the District of Columbia considers criminal indictments of key officials for leaks of classified information generated in the Russiagate investigation to the news media, according to widespread press reports.

By all accounts, the declassification of these documents will allow the public to grasp, for the first time, a clear view of the most frightening political abuse of power in American history. The Obama Administration, acting at the behest of the British government, set out to destroy Donald Trump’s candidacy on behalf of his opponent Hillary Clinton, using the full national security and law enforcement powers of the United States to do so and then to destroy his Presidency.

British intelligence, through MI6’s Christopher Steele, produced a political hit piece on Donald Trump, which was paid for by Hillary Clinton. Steele’s dirty dossier asserted that Trump had nefarious connections to Russia and that Putin had compromised him. On four separate occasions, Obama Justice Department officials went to the top-secret FISA court, established under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, to obtain complete surveillance of Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page, and through him on the Trump campaign itself. According to Steele’s deliberately false claim, Carter Page was a central figure in the Trump/Moscow nexus.

The same Justice Department officials knew, when they made the application, that Steele’s dossier was false concerning Page. They never informed the court that Steele’s information had been paid for by Hillary Clinton, Trump’s opponent, and that it had never been verified as required by FISA procedures. Steele’s dirty dossier was used by John Brennan’s CIA as the pretext for entrapment operations against Trump campaign volunteers George Papadopoulos and Carter Page, conducted, for the most part, on British soil. All the while, the FBI and others were leaking endlessly to the news media that there was a serious FBI investigation of candidate Trump which implicitly involved charges amounting to treason with respect to Russia. James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and Bruce Ohr were key players in this orchestrated information warfare and political espionage operation against Donald Trump.

LaRouche PAC has repeatedly called for the President to declassify, in addition to these documents, all British-spawned documents demanding investigation of Donald Trump and his campaign associates, so that the American people can understand that this operation had profound strategic implications. It was, and is, nothing less than an attempt to take out President Trump because he sought an end to the perpetual wars supporting the Anglo-Dutch monetary system, and sought rational relationships with both Russia and China in the context of rebuilding the physical economy of the United States.

In addition, LaRouche PAC has asked the President to declassify all the documents concerning the 9/11/2001 attack on the United States by the British Saudi asset, particularly focusing on Robert Mueller’s role, as FBI Director, in obstructing and covering up any investigation of the Saudi role in the attack. Mueller, the Special Counsel, should be exposed as the architect of the 9/11 coverup concerning the murder of nearly three thousand Americans, and also as a key architect of the unconstitutional surveillance state which was built following 9/11. This declassification will deal the most fateful blow to the ongoing coup.

On the Syrian front, after a meeting in Sochi on security in Syria, between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Russia announced that there will be no general assault on Idlib, at present, against the terrorists, but rather a collaboration between the governments of Syria, Russia, and Turkey to isolate and move against the jihadis there, while protecting the civilian population as much as possible.

This strikes a significant blow against the British-led mobilization for war in Syria. The war party has claimed that any Syrian government assault on Idlib terrorists—who are members of al Qaeda and its offshoots—would be grounds for the United States, UK, and France to launch strikes against Syria, possibly provoking an all-out war. Putin has thus outflanked the warhawks. Though not routing them, he has exposed them. What remains to be seen on this front, however, is whether the British forces can successfully pull off a false-flag gas attack on civilians in Syria and blame it on the Assad government, precipitating military retaliation. Such a false-flag attack has been in preparation for weeks and the preparations for it have been observed and documented by the Russian government in warnings to the international community.
