Well, that's over. Back to investigating the guy that loves Putin and asked him to hack his political opponent and fired the FBI Director for investigating it. I'm very surprised that a memo written by Nunes and propagated by people like this (and Russian bots) turned out to be less than copacetic. | ||

Those are things we historically should have (less so on the loan-statements, but in Trump's case, with massive foreign loans, they're easily called for). | ||

They had their shot to be cooperative with oversight committees. Now, it’s time to release the summary memo and primary source documents supporting it. | ||

So we should declassify information every time a house member decides that they want to write a memo about it and threaten to release it over the objection of the DOJ, FBI and the other half of the committee? Because that might not be that fun for conservatives if the Democrats take the House in 2018. But hey, open up Pandora's box if you think it will work out. I hear hope is at the bottom. | ||

Hey guys i’ve got PROOF that Danglars is an actual robot. he’ll say it’s not true but you can’t believe him because that’s exactly what a robot would say. Check. Mate. yea that’s just not a sane persons method of declassifying data. and people are out there eating this shit up. grossly incompetent. it’s offensive to our collective intelligence that this argument actually has traction. if nunes had the stones to just have it leaked at the start before using it as this absurd tool to further discredit the agency on nothing but his own word, which lacked credibility before the charade, i’d give it a fair read. but to instead use this batshit nonsense as a means to declassify it and rally up a base, compromised clearly of total fools, is not inspiring. | ||

Now, it’s time to release the summary memo and primary source documents supporting it. As usual, I'm unclear what the allegation is. The current FBI director, Christopher Wray (a Trump appointee, who I assume had nothing to do with either 2016 FISA warrants or the email investigation) apparently opposes releasing the memo because it "contains inaccurate information and paints a false narrative." Is Wray one of the suspected wrongdoers? Or is the tweet you just shared way, way off base? | ||

The FBI, after fighting oversight, not even acknowledging the requests for information and then flatly denying it, now wants to debase the conclusions. It took the speaker of the house calling them to heel some 4 months after the cycles of stonewalling to get the promises and the ball rolling. They can go fuck themselves at this point. | ||

It's always fun when someone can prod Dangles into dropping the pretense of a principled inquiry while revealing the clearly partisan animus beneath. When asked earlier why he thinks the whole of the FBI is tainted, he insisted that wasn't what he was arguing for. Now it's quite obvious that it is, angry pejorative and all. | ||

Well your people did try to shoot up a pizzaria to free non existant child hostages. If you had paid any attention to the actual happenings and not kept your nose in fox breitbart and zerohedge, you would see that republicans are very literally selling America out to the russians in front of everyones faces, it's literally not a conspiracy theory. | ||
