Russian bots or not, just ask a democrat if they want it released and the silence is frightening.
Tells you all you need to know.
Release it and then we can debate truth from fiction. I don't need Schiff or Nunes thinking for me.

I don´t think anybody has a problem of releasing the full document the FBI gave Nunes.
However, that is highly classified, with witness statements, facts, numbers etc etc, that could destroy the investigation.

The "PARTISAN memo" Nunes has created, gives a one sided view of the case.


We could probably do a "non-partisan" thing, and have the FBI release or declassify all the Trump tax returns and money laundering with the Russians, and any wiretaps from the last 5 years. Then have Nunes release his "memo".

"Release it"

From what I have heard there is classified info that needs to be either redacted or removed or reclassified.

Every repub that has spoken out on this and is on the Intelligence Committee which has seen the info WANTS it to be released.

Not 1 single dem wants it released.

Tells us a lot.

It doesn't appear the memo will be released to the public, most of the congressmen outside the intelligence committee cant even review the classified documentation since they don't have the appropriate clearance so I doubt it will be made public.


The FBI has asked for the memo so they can address and respond to the criticism which should be the normal course of action, doesn't the house provide oversight. Instead they want to create a circus, it serves their purpose as a total distraction.


They consolidated thousands of pages into a 4 page memo based on the opinion of Nunes, Meadows and Jordan have zero credibility.

Both Democrats and Republicans described the document as a top-line summary that is supported by classified documents and interviews. Apart from congressional leaders, lawmakers do not have high enough security clearances to view the other documents.

Really? Is that why only one Democrat has chosen to read it? Must have told the rest of them, "no need," right? LOL

If it contains "factual errors," why don't the Democrats want it released, where they would be free to criticize it an point out those "factual errors?"

Those who have read it are pretty well convinced that it reveals a level of corruption not seen before in U.S. history, which extends to the highest levels of government, including President Obama. If it contains such "factual errors," no one would be saying that.

I think they are going to release it. Didn't Speaker Ryan say he'd approve it going through the necessary votes?

Anyway, two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead. It will come out sooner or later.

Republicans need to cut the crap and release this, if it's really that big a deal.
