    So in a country of 320 million folks the Dems shut down the gubment over their love for 700,000 illegal aliens. Good luck with how all that plays out in Kansas, Wisconsin, Iowa, Georgia, Indiana, etc in the next election.........how out of touch can one party possibly be?

    It's called classified information.

    I know liberals don't understand the law, or classified information, but let's just say theres a process needed to release it.

    If Hillary still had her email server we could check that I suppose.

    Fascinating.
    In Fight Over Russia Memo, Republicans Have Unusual Ally
    "As Republicans called for the release of a classified memorandum that they say shows anti-Trump bias at the Justice Department, a network of Kremlin-controlled Twitter [TWTR.N]accounts swung into action to amplify that demand, according to specialists who monitor online activity sponsored by Moscow.


    The use of the hashtag #releasethememo increased 315,500 percent in roughly 24 hours on 600 Twitter accounts known or suspected to be under Kremlin influence, according to the Alliance for Securing Democracy, a project of the nonpartisan German Marshall Fund think tank.


    "I've never seen anything quite like it," said Bret Schafer, an analyst at the Alliance."

    I'm all for #ReleaseTheMemo.... I finished Franken's Giant of the Senate just after XMAS and need something new to give me some chuckles, besides TrumpShutdown commercials...

    SNIP
    Even the most plugged-in news consumer could be forgiven for thinking the classified memo is an executive branch document that exposes wrongdoing within the Justice Department and the FBI. It isn’t.

    Americans are incensed. Schiff is a POS. At this juncture it'll be worse for Dems if the memos aren't released due to their opposition. Do you recall ALL the Dems beating the "transparency" drum during Muellers appointment hearings? Didn't ALL the Dems just rush to Feinsteins defense for unilaterally releasing transcripts. Schiff needs to **** ... seriously.

    Democrats will attack the memo as being authored and misrepresented by Chairman Devin Nunes. This is the politics.

    If/when this happens (highly likely it will), Chairman Nunes will then request the entire House of Representatives be given the opportunity to see the underlying FISA documentation that led to the summary.

    The underlying FISA documentation likely includes the DOJ/FBI FISA application as presented to the FISA court; again, likely to include the “Clinton/Steele Dossier”.

    Additionally, the FISA-702 raw data will include the FBI “searches” on Trump officials that led to the upstream collection of information and the subsequent “unmasking” of Trump officials.

    Releasing the underlying FISA documentation -that proves the Nunes FISA memo- will likely follow a similar path as the Nunes memo itself. Again, this is a process, and within each of these processes there are revelations as to the scope of the corruption and conspiracy.

    And this is just Devin Nunes.

    Behind Nunes the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley, is investigating the Steele Dossier and the FBI use therein. Also there’s the House Judiciary Committee, Bob Goodlatte, focused on the DOJ corruption. Nunes, Grassley and Goodlatte are bolstered by Inspector General Michael Horowitz who is providing the year-long investigation evidence into politicization of the DOJ and FBI.

    The entire enterprise of exposing the corruption and conspiracy has just begun.

    I see where you're coming from but I want the American people to call for this otherwise the words 'witch hunt ' will be tossed around causing some doubt and doubt to a Dem is 'proof'. We'd hear prove it ad nauseam.

    Oh I agree, I absolutely want it made public. I'm just saying that if they have actionable items there's no reason they can't do both.

    And people that post inaccurate facts bore me. To each their own. You continue to post non-facts, and I’ll continue to point out that it’s not a fact at all.

    Sarah Carter mentioned friday according to the Trump administration this is just one of 10 bullets that the Dems have to explain away.

    Liberals want Trump to release the memos because they want to trap him, everything they say is a trap. I don't understand why any republican would deal with the lying left. They should step on these liberals heart and do what needs to be done. Nuclear option everything.

    Well, that depends on what is in the memo. Currently they think whatever is in them makes them look worse than their antics.

    Dems might conceal the contents of the memos from the public, but if agents are fired, or face criminal charges anyway? Political suicide. Concealing it from the public goes beyond tacit support for the corruption ... it's complicity.

    I'm sure Imran Awan wouldn't mind releasing his copy ... If only he weren't being shadowed by the Feds. Assange is offering a million in bitcoin for an advance copy ... Perhaps one of Awans foreign handlers will look to collect.

    Lmao at saying I’m a leftist. Maybe you should go look at my post history before embarrassing yourself further.

    Facts. I like facts. Period. You posted a fake fact.

    Yeah, but, they will always be in a atmosphere of a complicit press, so they never pay the price that a Republican would for the same maleficence.
