Re: Storm brewing in Washington DC
BBC pin McCabe's resignation on "nasty" Trump.
"Andrew McCabe's exit from the top law enforcement agency comes a week after a report that Mr Trump wanted him out.
It was also reported last week that the president had asked Mr McCabe during an Oval Office meeting whom he voted for."

BREAKING: The House Intel Committee voted to release the classified memo related to FISA and surveillance abuses. It now goes to the President. Outstanding work from Chairman Nunes.
We're one step closer to the public rightfully seeing the very same memo we did. #ReleaseTheMemo

So now we find out that Nunes the stormbringer has not even read the intelligence on which his memo is based. The sooner this shabby bit of political theatre gets aired so that it has some degree of proper scrutiny the better.

Are you saying he's made it all up? That the evidence doesn't even exist?

A cocktail of facts, spin and untruth. The benefit of deliberately misinterpreting classified information of course is that you cannot expose that information to disprove it.

But the facts have to exist right, otherwise there would be chaos. It is my understanding that all of this is based on the preliminary findings of the inspector general, and his full report is due for release sometime around March.

I understand that there is also a Democrat alternative memo based on those facts. Presumably you want that one released as well at the same time so we can see both sides of the argument and reach conclusions.

Also are you saying that Republican staffers for Nunes who wrote the memo a couple of weeks ago were using the Inspector General report at whatever stage of drafting it was rather than the evidence released to the Congressional committee? If so why not just wait until the preliminary report was released rather than codding one up themselves.

They can't just release it, they have to follow a process, the same one that the Nunes memo went through. I am sure we will see it soon enough :thumbup:

Maybe they have sexed up the memo just a little bit, to get ahead of current events? I've no doubt the OIG report is going to be damning, as will further investigations into the FBI, DOJ and the Clintons. In saying that, somebody should realise that they do need to declassify the underlying evidence in order to satisfy people like you, and the other diehard Democrats.

One man's sexing up is another Trump appointed FBI Director's false narrative it would appear. I still favour the publish and be damned route though.

As the old adage goes, nothing to hide, nothing to fear.
Re: Storm brewing in Washington DC
Must say I continue to be surprised by your unflinching belief in Trump. He's a swamp creature who's playing a role. This memo business is just another psyop distraction. It was written by swamp dwellers, voted to be released by them and now we have this wholly fake melodrama about when the public gets to see it. Any of the politicians who have read it and pretended to be shocked by its contents could have already done so by reading it out in the House, just as any UK MP can say whatever they wish in the Commoms with the protection of Parliamentary Privelege. (Well, anything other than mention who the Bank of England nominees are, anyway.)
There's no chance of any Clinton, Bush, Obama seeing the interior of a prison cell or having their collar felt. Same goes for any other crim of importance.

All of this info has been available on the internet for over a year. Who leaked it out is anyone's guess, but those in power on Capital Hill were late to the game, they didn't even know who the Awan Brothers were until some citizen journalists informed them.
When all is revealed, I think this is going to turn out to be some kind of high-level mousetrap, probably involving US military intelligence.
