WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republicans in Congress today released a controversial memo, declassified by President Donald Trump, that claims the FBI was biased and abused surveillance powers in its investigations of Russian meddling in the U.S. The memo discloses some confidential national security information, and the President hopes by releasing it, an investigation by an independent counsel into Russian mischief will be discredited.
The memo was authored by Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
READ THE MEMO:
Breaking News: The stock market (DOW) PLUNGES 666 points in reaction to Nunes Memo! One of the LARGEST point losses in a single day! This would NEVER happen if Crooked Hillary was president. I love breaking records that Obama WASN'T ABLE to do! #MAGA! #FridayFeeling #MemoDay

That’s it? Dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the House intel committee, destroyed trust with Intelligence Community, damaged relationship with FISA court, and inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen. For what? DOJ & FBI must keep doing their jobs.

The latest attacks on the FBI and Department of Justice serve no American interests – no party’s, no president’s, only Putin’s. https://t.co/6dsbcBIla6

Key in the #MemoReleased are names (some deeply biased) who signed off on the FISA Warrant: Comey, McCabe, Yates, Boente, & Rosenstein. Memo now commands FISA Warrant requests be released to Congress. The statement that the FBI & the DOJ were “weaponized” holds up pretty well.

This Memo is no doubt political for the Republican side, and the Drama Queen President to distract the investigation.
To be fair to both parties both the Republican and Democrats’ memos should have been released at the same time. So, We the People can decide. This memo is so one sided it makes me sick.
The FBI and the DOJ are supposed to be separate from politics and no one person should have the authority to fire these people without just cause. There should be one person from each party to work as a team together to make this decision, and not left up to the President alone.
Our National Security is at risk, and this is not a game the President should be playing with.
The President should not be asking these people if they are on his team, if they are loyal to him, or who they voted for. Period.
The President’s actions speak louder then words, and my gut feeling is telling me he has something to hide.
You folks know this is just the tip of the iceberg. There is a lot more bad stuff to come out about Comey, Lynch, and the entire corrupt deep state.
This whole thing is rotten politics that went over the line into corrupting the peoples house.
Russia is good and the FBI is bad. Republicans have been brainwashed by propaganda.
I agree the FBI Management is bad, very bad. They weaponized the FBI to spy on America Citizens. Russia does the same thing but at least we know that in advance.
You on the other hand are a complete idiot!
And you are a f**king dumbass Trumpanzee
Typical post Bodie/Nada Racist.
Can’t wait until Trump declassifies parts of the memo that describe how he was sexually pleasured by Russian teenagers on numerous trips abroad. And was filmed and recorded by the KGB. That’s why he is so cozy with the Kremlin and that’s why all the coverup and collusion. .
Got some credible cites Jose?
Google it and within .03 sec you will have 21,000,000 on line references. Many sites post the entire document rather the political talking points the right, left or middle. You decide mi amigos.
Much of what you are reading ‘on line’ is not factual. It’s sad (but not surprising) that you haven’t picked up on that yet.
Most of what you read here is also non factual,
Jose is another liberal liar regurgitating fake news from CNN, CNBC, and the rest of the Anti-American main stream media.
Can’t wait for Trump to declassify the sections of the memo that describe his kinky romp in bed with Russian teenage girls. He really knows how to “cherry pick”.
Crooked cops used their power to free Crooked Hillary of crimes she should have been prosecuted for and then used their powerful leadership positions inside the FBI and DOJ to frame a Presidential Candidate for phony crimes that were not committed. The FBI and DOJ have been stonewalling and covering this all up to save their ass’s. Clearly the time has come for Congress to vote for a “Special Prosecutor” to bring charges against those responsible.
This should be a wake up call for all Americans, (Democrats/Republicans/Independents) that we are living in dangerous times.
Abusing your position of power for nefarious reasons is an attack against us all regardless of political leanings.
I do not believe Candidate Trump was involved colluding with the Russians. I do believe that Hillary and Bill Clinton misused their power in government to make money for themselves using their Clinton Foundation. What were they hiding in their e-mails and hidden e-mail server?
Time to stop political BS and see it for what it is!
Your “perspective” would be clearer if you would just pull your head out of your ass.
Deny it all you want, but it is the truth. The Democrat Party were traitors to this country and should be disbanded and their leaders jailed.
Very true we are living in dangerous times. Watching these various groups stirring the sh!t pot with little understanding of what it is going to bring down the road. One step forward, two steps back. So sad.
This memo was a dud.
Get you head out of the sand.
This is not about Trump and the ignorant Democrats should wake up and understand that. It is about the highest level of the D.O.J violating our laws and for that everyone involved (including Obama’s judge) should be sent to prison.
This is nothing new with the mind set of the DC bunch. It’s been going on pretty much since the 80’s non stop. The unreal fear of the public finding out about their misdeeds is so overrated. A good shake up now and then keeps the democracy spinning like a top.
Watergate involve a crime of breaking and entering to obtain information to gain an advantage over the other party during an election. FISA/Dossier involves one party and other complicit departments knowingly submitting false and misleading information in order to obtain information that would give an advantage to the one party during an election. Breaking and entering vs submitting false and misleading information to a judge. Both are crimes resulting in more crimes. When are We the People going to see justice?
Excellent post! Spot on!
Democrats ought to just give it up and start working on the 2018 elections. They ran a terrible candidate and lost. Suck it up. Move on.
Comey, Rosenstein, Mueller, Wray are all republicans. I will wait to see what the Dems memo says like Trump should have done.
Bo, Trump didn’t do anything but declassify it and send it back to congress for them to do what they thought was the right thing. This is pretty damning evidence of the dirty DNC tactics and bad actors that hid certain facts to obtain and renew fisa warrants that were not justified and still turned up no facts of this document to be true and no facts of Trump colluding with Russia. Turns out the only person colluding with Russia was Hillary and the DNC!
Dumbass
John gave you the facts, and you call him “dumbass”..Do you ever wonder why others don’t seek you out for advice?
Those are the facts according to Devin Nunes, a party first player of the highest degree. Wait until it all comes out. I have no doubt that it will be damning for the Republicans as well as the Democrats. I also didn’t call John a dumbass. That was eLViS.
John had it exactly right. The Crooked Dems were caught violating our constitution and should be tried as traitors. This goes right to Obama and Clinton and they should be jailed.
Dumbass Trumpanzee.
Get it a grip on it dumbass.
RINO’s yes, American Patriots NO! These scoundrels are no way in favor of the Make America Great Again Agenda.
They all need to be investigated and charged if wrong doing is proven.
American’s are tired of all the minimizing and looking the other way for political reasons. Democrats keep this up and it will hurt them politically in the long run.
No comments from the Dems? Evidently the party hasn’t come up with the party line yet. Not even a comment from the “great thinker”.
The only thing worse than Trump are rhe idiotic Trumpanzee’s that believe his bullshit.
Trump is a lying POS and his followers are morons.
Where’s your mamanzee’s post Matthew? You’re at least as big an idiot as she is.
Trump is a victim. The only piece of shit here is Matt that posted his delusional Trump derangement syndrome’s lunacy.
Was Bodacious your teacher? I see a lot of similarities. Same low IQ, same vocabulary, same intolerance, same ideology, same lemming personality.
This comment is for Matt.
