Well this is interesting. Trump has apparently been advised that an immediate release of the unredacted Carter Page FISA warrant pages and the next messages of the top Obama FBI agents related to the Russia investigation needs further review.
In other words, we ain’t gonna get to see those unredacted documents as soon as we’d hoped:
I met with the DOJ concerning the declassification of various UNREDACTED documents. They agreed to release them but stated that so doing may have a perceived negative impact on the Russia probe. Also, key Allies’ called to ask not to release. Therefore, the Inspector General………has been asked to review these documents on an expedited basis. I believe he will move quickly on this (and hopefully other things which he is looking at). In the end I can always declassify if it proves necessary. Speed is very important to me – and everyone!

Sounds like the DEEP STATE got to Trump!
I’m kidding. But it does surprise me and makes me wonder if the whole reason for this is to push it until after the election. I think this is as much political as anything else. And when you take into consideration all of the text messages that will be released, it will amount to a lot of documents that will take time to go through. I wouldn’t expect we will see any of them until after the votes have been tallied.
