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.

Unfuckingbelievable.

1. Absolutely no respect for the rule of law

[Mr. Ected]

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.

[mobeau69]

5. There has to be some Puke patriots that will speak up or we're

doomed.

The majority are willing to destroy America to save shitholes worthless ass.

This is a nightmare.

[Fred Sanders]

15. Yep. So far has anyone heard even a single firecracker sound in the memo about two lovers

as shocked as everyone Shitler did the ultimate con.

[machI]

26. This "explosive" memo is going to blow up in the Republicans' faces

Our representative Adam Schiff is on this, and the Democrats have their own memo which tells the truth about what is going on. When Representative Schiff is finished debunking the Republicans lies (which he is restricted from currently because the information is classified) the voters will replace the Republicans in Congress with Democrats. The 2018 elections are going to be a blood bath.

[Stonepounder]

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 FUCK 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 fucking traitors and should be arrested, tried, and if found guilty, be subjected to the most severe legal punishment available.

[OliverQ]

13. Attempted? It's a full blown overthrow of the government by the ruling party.

6. Release the Democratic memo, then boycott the SOTU.

And then initiate impeachment proceedings. Fuck this shit.

[NickB79]

9. Exactly. DARE them to prosecute amember of Congress

For releasing "classified" data right after the GOP did the same.

[still_one]

12. Exactly. In fact it is the duty of every Democrat in Congress to do so or be accused of allowing

a coup against the U.S. by the republicans.

We should call are Democratic representatives and demand it, that if the republicans release their classified report, the Democrats must follow suit and release their report

[dalton99a]

14. +1

[Kablooie]

7. Of course they did.

The whole purpose of the memo is to pollute the public's view.

[lkinwi]

8. If this isnt proof that Republicans actually hate our country, nothing is.

[mcar]

10. The Republican party does not care about this country

At all. Fckers!

[still_one]

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

[BlueIdaho]

17. This just means more republicans

Will be indicted for obstruction of justice. I can’t wait to see these assholes in their orange jumpsuits.

[djacq]

18. Welcome to the Authoritative States of the Orange Clown.

Recommend George Orwell's 1984.

[Puzzledtraveller]

19. There's no there, there, so let em have it

[pbmus]

20. When worlds collide...

[0rganism]

21. what a shame it would be if the Democratic report were anonymously leaked

such a crying shame
why, the leaker would surely be compromising national security to score political points. oh my, such a shame.

[dhill926]

22. well...the game is certainly fucking afoot now....

gotta feeling shit is gonna blow sky high soon...

[mobeau69]

24. Chris Wray has to stand up for his FBI.

There's little hope the elf will.

[Kablooie]

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.

[Turbineguy]

25. Man overboard for

Nunes?

[DeminPennswoods]

27. Memo is already falling apart

First, everyone knows Nunes is a clown and a Trump toady. He has no credibility.

Second, the memo is about a follow-on FISA warrant on Carter Page, who was already known as a witting/unwitting Russian agent. Apparently FISA court judges will not approve follow-on surveillance warrants unless the initial surveilliance provided useful intelligence. In layman's terms, the court found Page was still acting as a Russian agent and let the FBI continue to monitor him.

By the time the memo is released, it will have been thoroughly discredited. Schiff did a great job of starting that process last night.

[mobeau69]

28. CNN Nat'l Security analyst said the same.

These warrants are signed off on by a host of upper level managers and several members of the Judiciary. This may go the way of the "Secret Society" quickly. Of course faux will be in shock over the memo 24/7.

[DeminPennswoods]

29. Schiff was asked about the classified info in Nunes' memo

I was surprised when he sort of shrugged and said something that I interpreted as "not really". That's what made me think the whole memo is some slipshod document - on par with the midnight WH run and "unmasking" documents - that will be easily and quickly discredited w/o even having to reveal any classified info/sources/methods.
