  • House Intel votes to release FISA memo...

    This should be interesting, though I'm not sure why the Dems are so upset...

    The House Intelligence Committee on Monday evening voted to release a classified memo circulating in Congress that purportedly reveals government surveillance abuses.

    The vote was announced to reporters by California Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the committee, who called it a “very sad day, I think, in the history of this committee.” The motion passed on a party-line basis, he said.

    President Trump now has five days to decide whether he has any objections before the memo can be publicly released.

    Well it seems like Devin Nunes has gone all-in on trying to obstruct the Mueller investigation, so has written this 'memo' that's full of half-baked things designed to side-track the gullible down a half-dozen conspiracy theory paths and thus provide as much cover for Trump as possible.

    The Republican base will love it because they'll get a half-dozen new conspiracy theories to naively buy into. The time the media will have to spend debunking it will take away from the time they can spend paying attention to things like Trump firing FBI deputy-director Andrew McCabe today, and (soon likely) firing deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein, as part of the Trump administration clumsily working toward their ongoing goal of sinking the Mueller investigation before it hits.

      Trump did not fire McCabe, McCabe was in the memo and fired by his boss. And how do you know there are half-baked things in the memo? That just sounds like liberal spin. If falsehoods were used to get a FISA warrant to surveil Carter Page or the Trump campaign those are felonies worthy of Nixon.

          democrat memo is undergoing same procedure GOP memo did. For now they're releasing it to the house so everybody can read it first, just like they did with the gop memo

            Well, in order for Trump to undermine democratic institutions and become the autocrat he aspires to be, he's going to need the help of the republican party. That's what you're witnessing right now. Hope you're enjoying it.

              What I'm really enjoying is....

              A) Hillary is not POTUS
              2) SCOTUS is not Hillary's
              C) It's driving the liberals absolutely nuts
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                Yes, we understand, you couldn't care less about democracy so long as Hillary is not POTUS and your Dictator promises you a right wing Justice.

                  A totally ignorant and false statement.

                  Well, she's not, and the so called "Dictator" promised a conservative justice, and kept his promise.

                    It was first reported that McCabe had stepped down. Later it was revealed that he had been fired by the FBI. There must be something pretty damning in the memo for the FBI to take that sort of action.

                        Democracy is why Hillary is not POTUS.

                          Particularly our form of 'representative republic' democracy, which awards the position to the person who garners the most electoral college votes, not the popular vote. And, as we have pointed out numerous times, both sides knew the rules and were shooting for the most EC votes.

                            seer my friend, snap out of the hypnotic state. Congress passed by a 98-2 margin, a bill sanctioning Russia for election interference. Trump just nixed it. He has been trying, with the help of some republicans in congress to stall and end the investigation into his campaign right from the get go and has threatened Sessions for recusing himself, fired Comey, ordered the firing of Mueller and has gone out of his way to malign the FBI, the CIA, the DOJ not to mention the 4th estate, the News media. Why? There is only one logical reason, he is guilty as sin, he knows it, and he knows Mueller will find it out.
