Not on the Senate Intelligence Committee, it is suppose to be non-partisan. It is suppose to have America's intrest at hand not a political party's intrest. I am very sorry that democrats (which my family a have been and even run for office) have sunk so low, but this is Treason.

Investigating the possibility that the White House may have deliberately mislead the nation, which I do not think is the case, is not treason.

THey're not investigating the possibility that the WH may have misled the nation. They're trying to gin up the appearance that the WH misled the nation, and they're abusing their positions on the committee to do it.

What they're doing is EXACTLY what they've falsely accused the president of doing: Manipulating intelligence to further their political goals.

It is when there is no cause to question the White House in the intellegence they have been given. So far they can see no wrong doing.

As they stated in the memo they are on witch hunt (which happens to help our enemies). This goes beyond the scope of the commitee. They want access to other areas beyond their normal reach for only one reason, to dig up dirt on the administration to bring it down only so they can have their power back.

That goes beyond what this committee was designed for. This committee was never to be used for politics, but defending our country. When this commitee starts being used for politics then you can kiss any classified intellegence goodbye and our enemys have won.

Treason.

I've never come across any of your posts prior to this thread. But there is something in the tone of your posts here that make me think you do believe the President misled the nation.

In any case, I agree with you regarding the fact that there is nothing treasonous about the memo. Foolish and deeply mean-spirited, perhaps, but not treasonous. However, it does indicate the Dems want to take what should be the most non-partisan oversight possible and turn it into a highly partisan witch hunt. That is a betrayal of their oversight responsibilities — and in a most dangerous subject area, to boot. It certainly undermines my confidence in any investigative procedures the Intelligence Committee might conduct from here on out.
