House Intelligence Committee Votes to Release FBI Memo, Dem Says

Source: The Daily Beast

he House Intelligence Committee’s Republican majority voted Monday to release an explosive memo alleging abuses by the FBI agents investigating collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, the panel’s senior Democrat said. “According to the majority, the FBI is under investigation and the Department of Justice," Rep. Adam Schiff said. He said Republicans voted to release their memo but not release a report by Democrats on the same subject. He called Republicans' vote a partisan move designed to hamper the Russia investigation.

2. It sure doesn't help that they keep referring to the memo as "explosive"

Misleading, fictitious, or debunked, maybe. But explosive? Only if the press is going to give it the false equivalence that they always do.

3. This is an attempted coup.

They also refused to let DOJ or FBI vet the memo to redact sensitive info. And Fusion GPS is really pissed that Congress is not protecting the names of Fusion employees, which Fusion has requested multiple times not to be released for safety reasons. And the GOP is giving a great big **** YOU to anyone who is not a Trump ass-licker!

The GOP is colluding with Russia to overthrow the Constitutional Republic that is the USA. They are ****ing traitors and should be arrested, tried, and if found guilty, be subjected to the most severe legal punishment available.

4. what a ****ING shit show...

this country has become. If the Dems don't release their "memo" to counter act the Rethugs propaganda BS they have no balls and we are all doomed IMO. Release it anyway...just like Feinstein did before. BTW: POS Nunes was suppose to be 'recused' but is now behind a hatchet job memo trashing the FBI. NO legit reason to let one memo go forward and not another. Just Trumpler and his minions trying to cover his fat ass for collusion and/or obstruction. Mother ****ERS one and all.

11. This is the same bullshit that occurred when Comey released the letter to the FBI 11 days before the

election, and our illustrious press reported it as "the email investigation had been reopened", which was a LIE, and then proceeded to parade every right wing politician across the screen perpetuating that LIE for the next several days.

If the Democrats have any sense of preventing a complete collapse of the government as we know it, they would release the Democrat report on the same subject at the same time. Not doing so means that they are allowing the republicans to exert a coup against the United States of America, and are doing nothing to stop it, when they can

23. They will soon have things in place to shut down the investigation.

You know that's their goal.
Protect Trump at all costs.
I can't really understand why but that's what Republicans seem to think is the most important thing in the world.
Make sure Trump can continue to commit crimes without consequences.

Don't hold your breath waiting for the bull shit democrat memo to get released:

Schiff then told reporters the committee also voted against the release of the Democrat secret memo.

But there’s a catch…

The Democrats have not yet released their memo to the committee for review.

Which may be the reason why it won’t be released.


Rep. Lee Zelden (R-NY) piled on crazy Adam Schiff:

Zelden: It truly doesn’t get any more insane than the @HouseDemocrats & @RepAdamSchiff asking to declassify & release a memo to the public just now that they wouldn’t even allow the House Intel majority members to read before voting.

This stuff is killing them. The truth is like a light on roaches to them. They ignored and made fun of this until now, and now it’s too late!  They should ask their handlers why this is bad.

So Comey tried to get Trump elected by releasing the letter and got fired by him after he became president?

Or

Comey released the letter to help Hillary and got fired by Trump after he became president?

Which seems more likely DUmmies?
