Devin Nunes’ Anti-FBI Memo Names James Comey, Rod Rosenstein, and Andrew McCabe

A controversial Republican memo alleging surveillance abuse specifically names FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein along with former FBI Director James Comey.

Capitol Hill sources on both sides of the aisle say the memo’s release is only a matter of time. And when it comes out, these current and former officials — all GOP bêtes noires — are likely to face even more criticism from the right over their involvement in FBI counterintelligence work.

Meanwhile, the Justice Department has expressed serious concerns about the memo’s potential release. In a letter sent to Nunes on Jan. 24, Stephen Boyd, the department’s top congressional liaison, wrote that “it would be extraordinarily reckless for the Committee to disclose such information publicly without giving the Department and the FBI the opportunity to review the memorandum and to advise the HPSCI [the House intelligence committee] of the risk of harm to national security and to ongoing investigations that could come from public release.”

That letter also said the department is “unaware of any wrongdoing” related to the FISA process—indicating the department disagrees with the scores of congressional Republicans who say Nunes’ memo provides proof of wrongdoing.

Odd turn of phrase: “anti-FBI” for a whistle blower.

Brian Ross would be doing the news on NBC if everything “sources” said was completely true. Let’s just wait until the memo is released and then see what it actually says for ourselves, eh?

And why does it seem to peak at McCabe. Was that the price paid to release it?

We’re still hearing precocious little about the results from IG.

If their objection is about National Security then it’s BS.

I called my rep, Randy Hultgren just now. His 0ffice said he has read the memo and is pushing to get it released. It will be next week plus 5 days before we hear anything.

The Dems evidently sent one of their own to read the memo & since it basically implicates GOPe appointees, they are probably leaking to get ahead of the story

Three blind mice. Three corrupt mice. Three mice that need to go to jail. They have destroyed a formerly great law enforcement agency.

Oh, suddenly this is a “Republican” memo?

Have they branded the Democrat Trump Dossier?

It is all timing. The state of the union is going to big the big moment.

And, of course, it’s “controversial”, like anything else that might be detrimental to the left.

I sincerely hope you’re right but doubt the Republicans will do that. They never take advantage of timing, never run up the score when they can, and never go for the knockout punch. Its just not in their nature.

They are a passive and reluctant lot who would rather switch than fight. Its who they are. Its how they roll. Many of them are still ‘uncomfortable’ with Trump as president.

The Republicans will once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, just like they always do. Unless, of course, Trump can find a way to save them from themselves and force them to do the right thing for the American people.

The "Big Reveal" as they say?
