"Worse than Watergate"- House Intel Memo

[Big E3]

If a Republican administration were accused of this, the demonrats would have already released the contents of any memos they had under the guise of an unnamed anonymous source. It would be the lead on every news channel in this country.

Wikileaks has a $1 million reward for whoever gives them the memo.

Meanwhile, all this does is show how we have the same corrupt government as a third world shithole, only with better tailors.

I heard that on Hannity yesterday as well. Mr. Hannity seems to have a gift for "clickbait".

x2, and I hate ‘news’ stories like this. I get that it is classified, but until you’re prepared to tell us something more substantive than “certain members of one party are outraged,” Then STFU with your clickbait. Even if it is the party I tend to side with.

Of all the things I've read here that sum up how I feel about this, Mr. Lebowski's comment is the most accurate.

My thoughts exactly! Look at how Mueller has been selectively leaking the whole time (Gen. Flynn indictment). Diane Fineswine "leaked" Fusion GPS' 2017 testimony which has now been contradicted by Fusion GPS (no charges for perjury on that?) but she didn't leak that one. Nope.

The timing might actually make this hurt more. Look at the statements Dims are making so far in 2018...

- Tax cuts for workers are classist (for the rich), misogynist, racist, and will kill people
- Criminal immigrants (DACA) are more important than keeping the gov running for US citizens and the gov shut down will kill people


If this is worse than Watergate that will be three big blows that should separate them from working class centrists. And the fact based reporting will happen after the #SchumerShutdown news cycle.

Not to mention Lib media has hung their hat on this Steele Dossier for nearly two years.

Republicans are far from perfect. But they can't hold a candle to democrats in terms of lying, corruption and propaganda.

For the life of me I can't imagine corruption on this level occurring in the United States. From Obama and Hillary Clinton on down, the democrats involved in this are the absolute worst type of politician I can imagine. If these people were politicians in some communist country where people aren't free to investigate their activities I can't even comprehend the number of bodies that would've accumulated by now. The fact that democrats have weaponized the KGB FSB FBI is simply stunning.

Say what you will about Sean Hannity but he's been at the forefront of this (thanks to some amazing investigative journalism by Sara Carter and others) since the beginning...basically since Trump was accused of collusion with the Russians. A lot of this has come to light because he's hammered it every single day for the last year and half and because of his contacts in congress...specifically members of the Freedom Caucus.

What's just as troubling is the overt and conspicuous lack of coverage from the Fake-Treme media. They are going to ignore this until they are literally forced to report on it. I don't care who you are...if you can't see the extreme bias of most of the media towards the democrat party, you are living in a fantasy world. They are literally the military arm of the democrat party.

At one time you'd need to get into some serious third-world shithole countries to find corruption this bad. Thanks to the democrat party you don't even have to leave the couch now...it's happening right here.

The Republicans are stirring it up because they're trying to get the general public to apply pressure to get the memo released. They can't provide details themselves until the intel community has agreed to declassify the contents or they violate the law and their non-disclosure agreements. The decision on whether or not to release resides with the people who seemingly have the most to lose by having it become public so this kind of campaign is actually necessary.

It won't surprise me if the memo gets declassified, but given the intel community owns the declassification and is already highly compromised, I expect extreme redaction in this case. So the original memo might say:

"James Comey reviewed the Fusion GPS dossier and knew it was totally made up but used the dossier in the FISA request to get a FISA warrant issued to spy on the trump campaign"

The redacted and public version might say:

"****** ***** reviewed the ****************** and knew it was *************** but used the ******* in the ************ to get a ************ issued to *************************"

Good luck getting anything done with that level of covering tracks.

I think you're a little off base with what will/won't be redacted. Usually redactions are done to conceal or protect a source or source information. So it might just be that the memo reveals the corruption, but doesn't cite how they discovered any. It would be one thing to declassify and release the memo (with relevant redactions), it would be quite another to release the redacted documents used to create said memo. I think this is much bigger than most will let on, seeing as it's rumored (I'm aware of the flak related to reporting on rumors) to be illegal use of FISA and the FBI/DOJ relating to a presidential election. The timing of this could be used more advantageously to benefit the Republicans come election time in Nov.

Considering Manafort was staying at one of Trumps hotels as a resident, then yes FISA violations, big time.


If this info was released now, buy friday the American public would have forgotten it. Get closer to nov. yes it would have a more lasting impact, if at all
