******Sen. Richard Burr, Republican chairman of Senate Intel Committee, requested a copy of the Nunes memo and was denied.
The guy who hears the most top secret info America has.

Fake news. Anyone with the proper security clearance can go to the room and read the memo.

How incredibly uninformed are you? Seriously, for somebody pushing for this memo, how do you not know what is going on.

The memo is available to be viewed by House members who sign an NDA.

It is not available to members of Senate. Senate Intelligence Committee as well as the FBI have requested access and have been denied.

Seriously, just 2 braincells and you should be able to just read a bit and figure this out in stead of just mumbling fake news every time you have no clue what's going on.

Okay. I stand corrected. That said what the hell difference does it make. All the Democrats in the house can see it.


And by the way. The two brain cells I have blow away any number you might have.

if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

>Okay. I stand corrected. That said what the hell difference does it make.

The usual RushMC two-step. Just a slight variation to the usual:

1) He didn't do it
2) OK he did do it but it doesn't matter
3) Clinton did it first

The next phase has started. Trump:

You fight back and next thing you know, it’s obstruction.

The contents of a secret memo have been found (by Dana Milbank):

20th January, anno Domini 2017

Society for Harassing and Impeaching Trump with Hearsay, Outrageous Lies and Extralegal Schemes

Recording Secretary: Maddow, R.

The meeting was called to order at noon. Society officers greeted each other with the secret fist bump, recited the secret Pledge of Allegiance to Saul Alinsky, and then knelt for the national anthem, sung by an illegal immigrant.

In attendance: Podesta, J., worshipful master; Comey, J., senior warden; Mueller, R., junior warden; Rosenstein, R., inner guard; McCabe, A., pursuivant; Strzok, P., steward; Page, L., almoner; Clapper, J., grand sword bearer; Yates, S., grand registrar; Brennan, J., chancellor; Soros, G., treasurer. Absent: Clinton, H., grand standard-bearer.

Members voted to accept as submitted the minutes of the November 2016 meeting, titled “How Our Gal Lost,” and of the December 2016 meeting, titled “Witch Hunt: Is Our Phony Dossier Working?”

The steering committee presented its Inauguration Day recommendations in a report titled “Underhanded and Conspiratorial Things We Can Do to Make Trump Look Bad.”

The society would use its contacts to convince Trump that he was the victim of massive voter fraud and that President Barack Obama personally ran a wiretap on him. This would make Trump sound paranoid.

The society would use its influence to convince Trump that Frederick Douglass is still alive and that Andrew Jackson was involved in the Civil War. This would make Trump sound dumb.

The society would hack Trump’s Twitter account so that it appeared he was calling the North Korean leader “fat” and a “Rocket Man” with a small “button.” This would make Trump sound dangerous.

The society would secretly edit video footage and transcripts to show Trump shoving a world leader and insulting leaders of friendly countries such as Australia, Britain and Sweden. This would make Trump sound like a bully.

The society would infiltrate White House policy so Trump would add trillions of dollars to the deficit to give billionaires a huge tax break. This would make Trump sound like a liar.

The society would convince Trump to say kind things about white supremacists, and to use a filthy word to describe African countries. This would make Trump sound like a racist.

The society, finally, would convince Trump to fire an FBI director, hire a guy named “Mooch” and declare himself a “stable genius.” This would make it clear he was neither.

Worshipful Master Podesta called for discussion.

Senior Warden Comey said the proposals sounded “too far-fetched.” Grand sword bearer Clapper said it would be “impossible” to get Trump to say and do such things. Pursuivant McCabe said people would never believe such “outlandish” things, anyway.

The recommendations were defeated en bloc. The society adjourned.

Reckless!

"Neither the FBI nor the Justice Department have been allowed to see the memo, and only members of the House have been granted permission by Nunes to view it in the House’s safe space"

[billvon 2,435]

>Reckless!

But RushMC _and_ all the Russian bots want it released. Shouldn't we obey the Russians?

[normiss 622]

Plus Trump repeatedly claims "no collusion whatsoever" and "no obstruction whatsoever" and he's entirely and completely believable and trustworthy.
Like the world has never seen.

At this point it appears not only collusion, but also obstruction and Russian money laundering.

Lol

Oh, the bots again. Even though on Twitter analytics say it's all US citizens. But then again facts don't matter to you. You have to use the bots angle and try and destroy the memo before it even comes out.


Oh! And I saw on MSNBC this morning where you guys are getting this Bots angle. Actually you're losing it.

Right. Twitter just looked up the accounts and verified that they all had their birth certificates on file at Twitter, as all Twitter users are required to do.

Did you know that "gullible" isn't in the dictionary?

>You have to use the bots angle and try and destroy the memo before it

I'm sure Republicans will manage to do that all on their own. Apparently the memo is so absurd they won't even let the DOJ see it.

Twitter blames Republicans

Makes me wonder where those that disagree with the facts get their Twitter fake news propaganda disinformation from, but not really concerned.

Trump's newfound desire to testify under oath should be the Royale with Cheese on the nothing burger. Until he changes his mind.

[gowlerk 1,929]

What's that old saying about fire and fury? This memo talk is only an attempt at distraction. Much ado about nothing. If there was anything that the Trumpeters could use it would have leaked out long ago. If and when it does come out it will have some bullshit innuendo that will be disproved in about 5 minutes. Nunes is the guy who had to step aside from the investigation basically because his relationship to the truth is almost as tenuous as Trump's. Remember?

Once again, keep your eye on the ball. When is Mueller going to "interview" the Dotard under oath? The end game is getting closer.

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Exactly. Once they release it, it becomes worthless - which is why Nunes is refusing.

He won't testify. His lawyers will not let him. Nothing to gain and to big a chance of getting caught in a process crime that is unrelated.

Holy crap that's some amazing progress you've just made. So we're clear, do you think that Trump has already committed process crimes trying to quash this investigation, or that he would lie under oath if Mueller was able to interview him?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

[gowlerk 1,929]

Of course he would lie under oath. He is completely incapable of telling or even recognizing the truth. That's a big part of what makes him a dotard.

Exactly. He's the most dishonest president in modern history; the chance of him not perjuring himself are zero.

[gowlerk 1,929]

Which nicely sets up the next phase in the drama. A lengthy court battle over whether or not he can be subpoenaed. That should keep the whole thing alive well after the mid-terms.

[gowlerk 1,929]

Hey Marc, any of your right wing heroes calling for this to be made public?

https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/25/politics/grassley-donald-trump-jr-transcript-release/index.html


Didn't think so!


And by the way, all this talk about a "secret society" that wants to get rid of Trump is really missing the point. It's not a secret group that feels this way. It's anyone who is not on the right wing fringe and who has more than half a brain.

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I've seen you been going to Bill School of Mister Twister.

No that's not what I'm saying at all. There's many documented situations where people have gone in completely innocent and got caught up because their memory can't remember exactly what's happened 20 years ago or 5 years ago or 3 years ago and remember what they said. And then they nailed him on the differences of what they said. And it has nothing to do with what is being investigated.

I wish you guys would grow up and at least talk about things honestly!

Ah, so the Bill Clinton case. Well, given that the topic is a little more important than who Trump had sex with, he's probably going to get asked somewhat tougher questions.

I think he will do OK as long as he doesn't answer any question other than: "What is your name?"

First, why are they going to be asking him about what happened 20 years ago, or 5 years ago, or 3 years ago? They're investigating events surrounding the campaign. Pretty sure they'd just decline to answer anything they felt was outside that scope.

Second, why do you think the Republican Special Investigator, working for the Trump appointed Deputy AG, is so desperate to nail Trump that they'd try and prosecute him for not perfectly remembering something from the distant past? If you think that Trump is such a terrible leader that he's already made the people in his own party hate him that much then there's not much hope for the rest of his presidency, is there?
