UPDATE: Disappointing News…Today Should Be “Memo Release Day”

Thursday, 1 February 2018, 13:23 BFH Uncategorized 33

Update: Daily Caller is reporting that the memo will be released tomorrow. WTH???? That’s like a Friday document dump. Why do it on a Friday when there is no substantive news cycle over the weekend?

Any bets?

Conservative Treehouse- If the apparent Nunes, Grassley, Goodlatte and Horowitz timing remains as previously evidenced, today should be Memo Release Day.

The White House having allowed a full 36 hours of media discussion time to talk through the SoU address, is poised to permit the Executive Branch declassification approval of the Legislative Branch intelligence work product.

In a last minute effort to block the executive approvals, Minority Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, claimed last night there were changes to the legislative work product.

Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes shared with Adam Schiff some minor edits to the drafted memo that resulted from the executive branch (FBI Director Wray) making a request upon initial review.

Counting on people not to know the FBI is part of the executive branch, Schiff claimed, wrongly, that any changes made the initial work product contrary to that which was approved for submission by the House Intelligence Committee.

A desperate attempt to stop the declassification by the White House, as quickly pointed out by Chairman Nunes.

In the back-and-forth it becomes evident why we stated last week to pay attention to the process.  The memo is classified legislative work product of the legislative branch.  The legislative branch is asking the executive branch to declassify the memo.  When Devin Nunes invited FBI Director Christopher Wray to review the memo on Sunday night he was inviting the executive branch to preview the work-product prior to submission.

It would be ordinary for any minor executive-branch-requested adjustments to be made, prior to submission/approval for executive declassification.  That’s exactly what happened.

Minor adjustments were made at the request of the FBI Director prior to submission for declassification approval.   Majority Chairman Devin Nunes shared those adjustments with Minority Chair Adam Schiff.

Schiff tried, and failed, to make a political issue out of a simple process.  KEEP READING

  1. “Schiff tried, and failed, to make a political issue out of a simple process.” Wrong. CBS was pushing his story as truth as was the local FOX station. All they need is a corrupt press.

  9. The FBI only likes commissions that give the narrative they want to give. Fuck the FBI. Once their senior honchos decided to start playing dirty tricks on the White House and leaking documents to the press, they lost all right to be concerned about national security and integrity issues.

    The FBI has a choice. They can clean out the political hacks from their ranks, or they can be viewed as a dangerous liability to US political stability and the rule of law. Their fuckin’ choice. It’s almost comical how arrogant and full of shit the likes of Comey and McCabe really are. Where did these self-adulating fuckheads get the notion that they were “great men”? Far from it.

  12. The fbi and the doj want all names redacted. This memo needs to get to Wikileaks ASAP. I can’t believe we will have to go to a foreign message board to find out what is going on here.

  16. it’s to be ‘released’ back to the Intel Committee, to be ‘released on their timetable’ …. bullshiff! … the demonRats will find excuse after excuse not to go into committee & then not to have a vote on it

    … the memo is dead … the Stupid Party got played again

  26. You have to wonder whether the omissions the FBI refer to are of the “cover your ass” kind. For example the FBI reqest may read something like:

    On page three, line four where the memo states that “Special Agent Smith proceeded to start the trapping of all conversations in the Trump Political headquarters” ommitted the fact that he was ordered to do so by Director Comey at the direct command of Hillary Clinton. He was then directed to get them coffee with Ms. Clinton taking hers black with a fifth of bourbon.

  30. I suspect that the end result of all of this is that Trump ends up declaring all of these seditious douchebags as ‘enemy combatants’ and charges, tries, and eventually hangs them through military tribunal.

    No deals for anyone.

    This might all come to a crescendo right before the next election in 2020.

    I don’t know if I can’t eat popcorn for 3 more years, but I’ll have a 32oz steak when Obama and Hillary both either hand, or are incarcerated for LIFE.

    I’m willing to wait.

  32. There is no difference now between the Stasi and the Federal Bureau of Islam. Go ahead and wait, we’re used to the likes of the purple lipped, jug eared One distorting the truth and making everything difficult to see. Let’s focus instead on Big Mitch’s Lament to Hope, the Great Pigskin Contest, and Piglosi’s spin.
    The people one day will have to take care of bidness.
