White House works to release Republican memo amid warnings - Polidicks

[QUOTE]WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House was working on Thursday to clear the release of a secret Republican memo alleging FBI bias against President Donald Trump, an administration official said, disregarding a warning from the top U.S. law enforcement agency. As White House legal and national security experts reviewed the document, the Senate’s No. 3 Republican, John Thune, urged his House of Representatives colleagues to allow the Senate Intelligence Committee to review the document and to heed the FBI’s concerns before they made it public. Democrats have called the four-page memo misleading, based on a selective use of highly classified data and intended to discredit Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s criminal probe into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to help him win the 2016 presidential election.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Top House Democrat Nancy Pelosi, on Thursday sent a letter to Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan calling for Nunes to be removed as chairman, saying Nunes had acted dishonestly in altering the memo. The committee’s senior Democrat, Adam Schiff, late on Wednesday said he had discovered Nunes had sent the White House a version of the memo that was “materially altered” and not what the panel voted on Monday to release. “This action is not only dangerous, it is illegitimate, and violates House rules,” Pelosi said. Mueller’s investigation and the FBI probe that preceded it have hung over Trump’s year-old presidency. Russia and Trump have both denied any collusion.

Someone on NPR just made an interesting point: If Carter Page was working as an FBI asset (i.e. a double agent) during the time he was being surveilled under a FISA warrant, this could potentially expose him, his sources, and any information he was gathering.

I'm sure when the republicans vote to release the democrats memo the whitehouse will be equally expedient to get it out to the public. wait no this is just an excuse to fire rosenstein and then mueller who apparently does not need protection... [editline]1st February 2018[/editline] I almost wish one of our european allies or asian allies would dump tons of cash and resources into electing democrats since the gop seems not to care one bit about foreign espionage anymore

Kinda seems like things are building to something, seems like Trump legit wants to fire Rosenstein

And in turn fire Mueller. And in turn we take to the streets and demand impeachment.

Hold the phone. The white house is working to clear the release of a secret republican memo? That's like saying a high school student wrote a paper and now he has to work to clear the release so he can turn it in. It's YOUR memo you doofuses
