  • As predicted Trump blocks Democratic memo

    Trump won't release Democratic memo, sends back to committee


    (CNN)President Donald Trump won't release the Democratic rebuttal to the Republican intelligence memo alleging FBI abuses of its surveillance authority at this time, and has sent it back to the House Intelligence Committee for changes.


    The memo from Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the committee, was written to rebut the Republican memo released one week prior, which accuses the FBI of suppressing Democratic ties to an opposition research dossier on Trump and Russia used in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant for former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page.

    Schiff and other Democrats charge that the Republican memo led by House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes of California is misleading and omits key facts, including that the FISA application did state that ex-British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier, was paid by a political entity.

    yes, the democrats intentionally filled it with classified information Trump couldn't reveal. note that this is exactly what they falsely accused Republicans of doing in the original memo. Trump did the right thing, except he should just block it permanently.

      Of course they did.

      note that this is exactly what they falsely accused Republicans of doing in the original memo. Trump did the right thing, except he should just block it permanently.
      And yet Trump "revealed" what the Republican memo said despite FBI expressing “grave concerns” about the accuracy of it.

          I heard that it was 10 pages and therefore too long for Trump to read.

            One page is too long for Trump to read. He didn't read Nunes' memo either before declaring that he "absolutely" intended to release it. This is all politically based, not fact-based.

                Sanders would have won if the Hillary campaign hadn't rigged the primaries in her favor. Sanders would have crushed Trump in the general. He should easily breeze to victory in 2020, it shouldn't even be close.

                    Yes, Dem memo is very very likely politics based. Sad!

                      I think Sanders' team will know from last time what the tricks are and what to look out for. And frankly there just won't be anything close to "the Clinton Machine" running against him next time - that was an unprecedented political monstrosity which hopefully is mostly history now.

                      Also Sanders won't give in like meek sheep again to being cheated!!!
                      I do think he'll feel his has more clout this time around, and more willingness to throw his weight around. I think half the problem in 2016 was that initially he didn't think he had any chance of winning and so thought "well I'll give it a try, and if I can raise people's awareness on issues, then it's worthwhile", and it was only after the first primaries that he really saw he had a serious chance of winning and pushed harder. I think next time around the entire Sanders team will have an expectation of victory from the start, which I think does make a difference in how people act and the strategies and tactics they employ.

                          Thanks to Trump, Sanders has chance in 2020!!!

                          Demi wants Sanders to do run again, do well, also weaken eventual Dem nominee!

                              Nope! O&H never sought to undermine their own Intelligence Agencies, Trump does.

                              “Mr. Trump tweeted on Sunday that the F.B.I.’s “reputation is in Tatters — worst in History!” following last week’s guilty plea by Michael T. Flynn, the former White House national security adviser, for lying to investigators. Mr. Trump also suggested, falsely, that the F.B.I. refused to charge Hillary Clinton for lying — a claim its former director, James B. Comey, has refuted multiple times”.

                              https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/07/u...-agencies.html

                              The over-hyped, Nunes memo Trump released without even reading, is just more of the same pathetic attempt to save his own presidency by throwing the FBI and DOP under the bus.
