At the least, the FBI will refer the matter to a government audit agency and after which will refuse to answer questions by stating that the matter is under investigation. Remember that?
It is like this , you are speculating. either you know what the accusation are or you don't and if you don't then you are just making stuff up, hoping, guessing...


This is Fusion GPS transcripts 2.0.

Grassley hyped them up, told lies about them and refused to share them. You guys went insane, foamed at the mouth claiming everyone was going down, everyone was guilty....


This is the same BS, Nunes is waving his shiney object , Russian bots are hyping it, and trumpy folk are mouths wide open like baby birds begging for regurgitated vomit.

Default If you think about it, this is like the X-Files

X-files keeps the story line going by dialogue that tantalizes but always stops short of actually saying anything concrete. Why? So the series can keep selling advertising and keep rolling along.

Now that the Dems are on their heels, you would think the right wingers would deliver the coup de grace.

But no, the wingers are just letting their adversaries twist in the wind.

I won't speculate as to why the wringers want to pull an X-files on their enemies, but it may be the same reason Jeff Session is acting like a cuckold *****, or why our Prez. hasn't stepped in.

That made this statement by Nunes even less credible, there was a bipartisan effort to revise the section 702 laws one week ago and they were rejected in the house yet here he is complaining about abuses

Not quite. Nunes took a ton of stuff, wrote about it in such a way that it makes someone tucking their kid into bed sound like a pizzagate level crime, and then handed out the memo to various people......with the exception of anyone who could look at it, and call it out for BS. Burr can do so. He knows about the top secret programs Nunes is referring too, and could state that it was nonsense if he saw it. Thats why Nunes hands it out to folks who can't fact check it.

Nunes is a Liar and has thrown his career in the trash to protect Trump. At this point Nunes is likely hoping for a position on some extremist media outlet.. because when the Republicans clean house to try to restore their rep, he will be one of the first ones out the door..

The DOJ assistant attorney general, hired by Sessions, said that releasing the memo without review by DOJ/FBI would be "extraordinarily reckless.".
