Deranged Rhino Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Reminder. This story is head to toe bullshite. 36 hours ago three officials - the head of the FBI, a high ranking Counterintelligence agent (BP) and a DOJ legal department deputy all said it was 100% accurate and did not violate classification rules. The AP is lying. Ask yourself why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 What do you guys expect if/when the memo is released and the other report is made public? Charges against McCabe and friends? Just more denials and finger pointing? I'm pretty sure the average voter still doesn't realize the different spin each news network puts on the stories coming out, nevermind follow this stuff in depth. D is good R is bad or vice versa is my impression on how about 80 percent of this country views politics. Is this stuff going to be so convincing that it would change that? I haven't followed politics in depth like many of you have so that's why I ask. Will any of this stuff change the direction of the country or will the average Janes and Joes remain loyal to party lines and on and on we go.

I dont think this is about trying to convince everyone, its the people who are on the fence and have no party loyalty (independents/moderates etc) that really sway the elections. If this is convincing enough to get people to vote one side over the other (in this case D voters to R) then it could help mid-term elections which would in fact matter Edited January 31, 2018 by Bray Wyatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what we know about the memo, and you won't find this covered in the MSM because they're terrified of what this memo will unleash: The memo was written by Nunes and his staff, summarizing TS/SCI intelligence he was shown by DNI Coats and DNSA Rogers. No one but those three men have seen the intelligence that went into the memo - despite Dems and pundits saying otherwise. This memo was not based on the FISA application, though it will incorporate summaries of the failed FISA and the approved one on Carter Page (I believe). The memo will not be the smoking gun. It's not the end, it's the beginning. It will expose names (McCabe, RR, and others) that illegally abused the powers of the surveillance state to spy on political opposition. It will also show that members of the DOJ/FBI lied about the dossier and how it was created to the FISA court - which would defang Mueller's probe (again, I'm speculating as I have not read it - but based on a magical second dossier appearing yesterday, we know the dossier is toast because of this memo). This will open people's eyes to a much larger operation that was being run by the past administration to spy on his political opponents. It will be followed up by Horowitz's DOJ IG report in March. We already know Horowitz's report has teeth, it's what lead Wray to fire McCabe per sources. So, just remember the memo isn't the end, it isn't the trump card. It's just the start of what will be YEARS worth of discovery and prosecutions into this matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now why would Trump and his little poodle want to go after RR and Mueller? Is it because they want to try and stop the investigation? Could be! This is all part of a pattern of obstruction of justice which is increasing in scope. Criminal president Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prolonged investigations and court cases may "clean up" Washington a bit but if any of this is going to change the way voters view politicians there is going to have to be a smoking gun.

Tiberius Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 BuzzFeed reports: This weekend, as Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee prepared to use their majority to try to declassify a four-page memo purporting to show FBI abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, Republicans on the Senate committee used television appearances to echo warnings from the Department of Justice about the risks of releasing the memo. They also pointed to the bipartisan success of their own committee in investigating Russian interference during the 2016 election. “One of the problems with the House investigation is it’s been very partisan,” Republican Sen. Susan Collins told CNN. “In contrast, the Senate Intelligence Committee, under the leadership of Sens. [Richard] Burr and [Mark] Warner, have worked together, and I think that’s a far better approach.” Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, another Republican member of the committee, also appeared on CNN Sunday. When asked whether the memo saga in the House could be chalked up to partisan politics, Lankford said, “We’ll let them work that out.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I wager the number of those with severe TDS are going to be dwindling over the next 12 months. The fringe will remain fringe, they're locked into the fascist promises of their "glorious leaders". The rest - the majority of the Dems who were told for the past 8 years they had to accept stagnant wages, a crumbling economy, and a toothless foreign policy because of "fairness" and "America's past misdeed" are going to find it hard to stick with the fringe group. In the cities where we both live, I doubt we'll notice. But there's hope for other areas of the country. Just now, Boyst62 said: Trey Gowdy is retiring...
