As predicted Trump blocks Democratic memo

[JimL]

yes, the democrats intentionally filled it with classified information Trump couldn't reveal.

Where'd you get that idea Darth? Hannity? Limbaugh? Alex Jones?

note that this is exactly what they falsely accused Republicans of doing in the original memo.

So the FBI falsely accused republicans? Stop falling for bs Darth.

Trump did the right thing, except he should just block it permanently.

First off, we all know that whatever Trump does is the right thing as far as you lot are concerned. Like the sheep you are, you're easily led from feeding in one lea to another without realizing the difference. That you believe Trump cares about the FBI or compromising national security and classified information is laughable. The reason for his not releasing the Democrat memo is obvious, doing so will disrupt his and his treasonous abetters plan to falsely disparage Deputy Atty Gen. Rosenstein in order that he have an excuse to fire him and end the investigation into him and his treasonous campaign.

Trump said he would be willing to release the memo once the security concerns are addressed, so the ball is back in Schiff's court. Smart move by Trump. Sorry, liberals, but this is much ado about nothing.

Confirmed by FOX News:

----------

Fox News’ John Robert reported, “Sources tell @foxnews that the @AdamSchiffCA memo contains information pertaining to “sources and methods” that will likely require redaction. One source says this was done tactically to force the @realDonaldTrump into making changes – setting up a contrast with GOP memo”

...

Investigative reporter Sara Carter said, “Just look at what’s been happening from the beginning- my sources say yes. But really it’s up to @RepAdamSchiff to answer that question.”

Also, see FBI Director Christopher Wray's letter detailing concerns about the memo here (bottom of the article):

It is entirely up to Schiff and the FBI what to redact, so they can't accuse Trump of trying to conceal anything. In fact, the President hasn't even read the memo, though he has been briefed on it. Trump is playing this one very, very smart.

And yet Trump "revealed" what the Republican memo said despite FBI expressing “grave concerns” about the accuracy of it.

Yes, the FBI also lied about the Republican memo because it made them look bad. What else is new?

[Mountain Man]

Trump calls Schiff's bluff.

President Trump: "The Democrats sent a very political and long response memo which they knew, because of sources and methods (and more), would have to be heavily redacted, whereupon they would blame the White House for lack of transparency. Told them to re-do and send back in proper form!"

It's all up to Schiff now.

Don't be ignorant all of your life, MM. Trump promised to make public the Nunes memo, 100%, before he even had possession of it, or read it. He obviously couldn't care any less about classified or not classified. Trump simply understands that releasing the Democrats memo will fully expose the wool that he and his syncophants in the House have once again pulled over your dull eyes with their phoney cherry picked memo. It's a moot point now anyway, since the Nunes memo, as expected, turned out to be a dud and hasn't fooled anyone except for the airheads who believe anything and everything that the propagandists throw at them. There is nothing that can change their/your minds anyway because you have what's called alternative facts on your side.

Schiff and the Democrats did this deliberately, but their gamble backfired, and you're just mad because Trump is the better poker player. If Schiff wants his memo to see the light of day then he will work with the FBI and DOJ to make it happen. It's up to him.

From what I've heard, he doesn't even need to work with the FBI and DOJ. Several people are talking about a "Rule 10" that allows them to release it on their own, without Administration approval.

Then that's their call, and if it blows up in their face, they will only have themselves to blame. Trump is playing this one perfectly.

It was the Nunes/Trump memo that was "much ado about nothing". It totally failed to make a case against the FBI. It was just another desperate Trump attempt to make the Russian investigation go away, but the opposing party have the right to set the record straight. Trump didn't seem concerned about "security concerns" when he released his memo AGAINST the "grave concerns" of the Department of Justice and the FBI. He's such a hypocrite.

[Mountain Man]

Feel better now that you've gotten that off your chest? Think you'll sleep well tonight?

Trump is challenging Schiff to put up or shut up. We'll see who blinks first. My money is on Schiff.

Dersh, Turley, and virtually everyone else that's seen the "Nunes memo" saw no legitimate security reasons for those "grave concerns" on the part of the FBI and DOJ. The *only* person I've heard that found any legitimacy to them was Judge Andrew My Cousin Vinny Napolitano. His "sources," whoever they are, told him the point of concern was one little three-word expression, "long-time employee," or something similar to that. Supposedly, to those "in the know," that was enough to identify a British agent, and so cause consternation on "both sides of the pond."

Trump could wear his underwear on his head and run round shooting people and you'd convince yourself he was playing it perfectly.

Dershowitz is, and has been, a Trump shill from the get go, Turley is hard to read, but they are both wrong anyway. The Nunes memo was a cherry picked falsehood, and lying to the American people in their name is itself a legitimate concern as far as the FBI and the DOJ is concerned. As far as "grave concerns" go, Dershowitz and Turley are in no position to say whether such concerns are legitimate or not. It's not their field of expertise.
