Ya Democrats, what's the big deal.... It isn't like a sitting President was in collusion with his parties new candidate when he has to leave, to get inside secret intel, using the full power of the unconstitutional NSA's ability to spy on anyone at anytime, without much oversight.
Using absolute power of the US government, to destroy your political enemies.
What harm could that cause?

Wait until Trump does the same thing when his time comes to get re-elected. He will just use the NSA to listen to the entire campaign's strategy, to counter it.
Will you be mad?

Obviously, there are some really damaging details contained in this memo that required such a decision to be made. So bad in fact, Chris Wray, an Obama appointee took immediate steps given the information before him.

It would be nice to have enough of trust in our govt. agencies to fix the problems inhouse without forcing change through congressional means by airing the agencies dirty laundry to the public. Such is the state of distrust with top govt agencies : after all we have seen in recent months , it might be wise to just avoid them altogether.

Andrew McCabe is now gone from the FBI. There will be more ahead & any reasonable person with some degree of sanity still left in them would welcome any decisions made to clean up the mess that has become the FBI & DOJ.


So this is the first we've heard of Andrew McCabe? Are we just pretending Trump hasn't been trying to oust him on Twitter?

Trump has threatened to read it at the state of the union. Congress doesn't want Trump to steal their Thunder, after slow walking it.

They vote to release the memo tonight.
Tune in!

We may be talking all night about this thing.
So much drama.

I think around this time two weeks from now the memo won't even be news.

How could it be? Nothing is still news two weeks later. There are so many "bombshells", revelations, and tweets on a daily basis.

Something big is going down. The swamp is beginning to be drained, and whatever Trump has, I hope he reads it tomorrow night.

If the memo is released, then the supporting documentation should be as well. But see, thats the trick. Nunes's memo will make insane accusations, and be based on taking things 100% out of context from the "classified sources". Its a clear attempt to derail the investigation, and Nunes is attempting to obstruct justice.

Release it with the source material, and I might find it of value. Without that? Its just nice fiction.

OK, then one week from the moment it is revealed.

Total fiction. No way they will release all the documents.
