First, sensitive sources, human and technical, would be exposed. The message to other intelligence services and to specific sources would be that you can’t trust the United States to protect secrets. Our own intelligence and law enforcement services would be demoralized by the president’s political use of their hard-won intelligence.
Second, the nature of these warrant requests is such that revealing this one would not quell controversy. Few people understand that these are investigative tools, not prosecutorial documents. They are not designed to prove guilt or innocence. They pull together reports that suggest a concerning pattern, and the judges have to decide whether the information is sufficiently compelling to justify further investigation with tools, including wiretaps, that require court approval. In other words, law enforcement is not saying it is absolutely certain — it is asking for permission to find out.
Third, tossing such a sensitive, complex and lawful investigative tool into a hot political controversy would be totally irresponsible. Coming in the midst of a law enforcement investigation that involves the president himself, it would amount to his most damaging attack so far on our judicial, law enforcement and intelligence systems.

If there is nothing to hide by the trump WH, they should welcome complete transparency. Show the taxpayers that it's all just a big "nothing burger".....

Have any of the louder "progressive voices" here acknowledged any of the hypocrisy? I'm in and out of ATS these days so it definitely could've happened without my noticing. Surely one or two of them have?
I know in RL that many dems and independents have walked--if not run--away...but what about here?

And so by that logic all of the dems and fbi that fought against transparency with things like the FIsa warrant against page and many other documents must have had something to hide.

All findings should be released. Total transparency with no favoritism shown to either party. I would think if the Mueller report shows a clean WH, it would insure a trump reelection. Why the resistance by the GOP.
There is a lot of buzz in the media and elsewhere about the need for Trump to allow the public to see the Mueller report as unredacted as possible.

The level of hypocrisy in the Dem party is sickening and criminal. I hear Nadler and Schiff refusing to believe Mueller's report, talking of a DOJ cover up and that they'll continue to investigate into Mueller's report because they know without a doubt there was collusion. Yet they were dead silent about all the corruption with HRC, Obama, Comey, Rice, Page, Strzok, Podesta, Wasserman, Awan....and the list goes on and on....... They couldn't define or spell the word transparency if their life depended on it.
The deceit and flat-out lies from these people is incomprehensible. How can any true American support the DNC anymore? Is this the government some of you want? Their crimes and corruption make anything Trump has ever done look like child's play and I say that with the upmost sincerity. I can deal with some of Trumps lil fibs but the depth of corruption from the DNC is some scary stuff. These people are literally an enemy of this country and how people cannot see this and continue supporting them is baffling. They don't hide their blatant hypocrisy, matter of fact it appears to be highly encouraged.
