Right....... but somehow Obama was able to cover up all his corrupt doings, whereas Trump has been a non-stop 24/7 shitshow.

Maybe Obama was just a lot smarter? Or less corrupt? Take your pick.

Or... could be both.

Bet Devin Nunes collects the reward.

Members of the House on Thursday said they viewed a “shocking” classified memo allegedly detailing abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) by senior Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigations officials in relation to the investigation of the Trump campaign and called for it to be declassified and available to the public immediately.
“It’s troubling. It is shocking,” Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) told Fox News. “Part of me wishes that I didn’t read it because I don’t want to believe that those kinds of things could be happening in this country that I call home and love so much.”

“The facts contained in this memo are jaw-dropping and demand full transparency. There is no higher priority than the release of this information to preserve our democracy,” said Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), a member of the Judiciary Committee, which oversees the DOJ and the FBI.

Another Judiciary Committee member, Rep. Steve King (R-IA), called what he saw in the memo “sickening” and said it was “worse than Watergate.”

Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), another Judiciary Committee member, called the memo “deeply troubling” and said it raises questions about the “Obama DOJ and Comey FBI.”

“The classified report compiled by House Intelligence is deeply troubling and raises serious questions about the upper echelon of the Obama DOJ and Comey FBI as it relates to the so-called collusion investigation,” he tweeted.

“You think about, ‘is this happening in America or is this the KGB?’ That’s how alarming it is,” Rep. Scott Perry (R-VA) told Fox News.

“It is so alarming the American people have to see this,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, also said to network.

The viewing of the memo came after all Republican members of the House intelligence committee, whose investigators compiled the classified memo, voted Thursday to make it available to all House members. Every Democrat on the committee voted against it.

According to Gaetz, the memo’s contents could lead to the firing — and perhaps even jailing — of senior DOJ and FBI officials.

“I think that this will not end just with firings. I believe there are people who will go to jail,” he said on Fox News’ Hannity.

He said what he saw in the memo also explains why Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Judiciary Subcommittee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) recently referred the Fusion GPS dossier author Christopher Steele for a criminal investigation.

“I think there will be criminal implications here,” Gaetz added.

The memo also reportedly contains information about the dossier put together by Fusion GPS that alleged Trump and members of his team colluded with Russians in the 2016 election, according to a report by investigative journalist Sara Carter.

It was revealed in October that the dossier was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Despite being a political document, the dossier was reportedly part of the evidence FBI officials used to apply for and obtain a warrant through a secret FISA court to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Members of the public and Congress are now calling for the document to be declassified and released to the public.

DeSantis said the House intelligence committee, pursuant to House rules, should vote to make the report publicly available as soon as possible.

“While the report is classified as Top Secret, I believe the select committee should, pursuant to House rules, vote to make the report publicly available as soon as possible. This is a matter of national significance and the American people deserve the truth,” he said.

“Rule X of the House Rules allows the select committee to publicly disclose any information in its possession after a determination by the select committee that the public interest would be served by such disclosure.”

According to House Rules, if the House intelligence committee votes to make the report public, President Trump would have five days to issue an objection. If he objected, it would take a vote on the House floor.
 
So the republicans get all hot and bothered over a Memo that they know they won't be able to release, but they can tease it so much that it'll get their base biting at their chomps and they will work themselves into a frenzy with wild and probably inaccurate conspiracies. The house doesn't actually want ot release this because then it would set a president for the Democrates to demand the release of other classified files from the Trump Russia investigation and that would not be good for the GoP. This way though they get to hint at all this memo that they have written and make it seem like this is really just a giant witch hunt against Trump.
 
It's always funny to me when loyalists for x party say to loyalists for the opposite party. 'your party will die because of x'.
These loyalists for either side will never get it, not because they're stupid. But because they're unwilling to look past their undying loyalty towards red or blue.

They know how stupid Americans are, and how gullible they are.

For the lazy, Russian bots are heavily behind it. Gee, I wonder why?

Russian bots are heavily behind 3 congressmen calling for the release of it after they've seen it, or wikipedia offering $1M for it?

A Lifelong Democrat, I looked past my undying loyalty towards blue and voted red last election, but then I've always been exceptional. :cheers:

Its wikileaks not wikipedia and i'm sure they would love to have it since Russia has been the one who has funded them for the last few years as well as Assange HATING Hillary with his entire being.

Et tu, sly? I'll go back to green and strikeouts.

I'm pretty familiar with Mr. Assange and my limitations on visiting his site :)

Damn B, all you had to do was blame the autocorrect on your phone.

I don't know a ton about it, but twitter is on fire with this, up to about 250k retweets right now. Based on the RTs, it seems like conservatives and Hillary-haters (really tight Venn diagram, I know) are super giddy...but as giddy as I've seen my very liberal friends recently about the Mueller investigation. Anyone have insight to this?

And is it true that Congress can release classified info if it's "in the people's interest?"

Referring to the massive amounts of retweets/explosion of it on Twitter
 
Surely Nunes will deliver this time instead of making an absolute fool out of himself yet again. But yeah this whole memo bullshit reminds me of the whole non-issue of "unmasking". All diversionary tactics that the base loves to eat up.

I'll remember that for next time. But normally everything autocorrect-related shows up as "sent from my atari using opera 12" or something, so I probably can't get away with that, either. :(

Gotcha. And normally I'd be with you--I've been reading all these #muellertime posts for months, about how someone's getting subpoena'd tomorrow, or records collected, or whatever, and it's a nothingburger until it isn't. This one seemed different (with at least 3 congressmen talking about it), so I asked. :dunno:

An educated guess by anyone who's been paying attention for the last year leads to the obvious conclusion that the report reveals extensive abuse of power and highly illegal collusion between the Obama administration, the FBI, the DOJ and the Clinton Campaign against Donald Trump and his team during and after the 2016 presidential election.
 
Im glad you asked @BrianFromWA Allow me to break it down for you.

Democrats worship the devil.

You're welcome.
