Memo war: GOP to release memo aimed at DOJ, while Dems push memo aimed at GOP
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/30/2018 | Byron York

...The Democratic memo, which like the Republican memo is classified and can only be viewed in a secure room, is an attempt to discredit the GOP document without making any larger point about the Trump-Russia investigation, said Republicans who have seen it.

"It was written by attorneys as a rebuttal to our memo, but it's not going to move their argument forward," noted one Republican member who has read the Democratic paper. "It's too detailed, too confusing, and far more personal — they go after [Nunes] again and again.

The member noted that that Democratic memo contains far more classified information — names and sources — than the GOP paper. "It is much more revealing [of classified information]," he said. "It's going to have to be heavily redacted before it can be released. We wrote our memo with the hope that it would be released to the American people. Their memo will have to be heavily redacted."

Two other GOP members familiar with the memo echoed those points.

It seems there really is a Schiff memo, but as expected it's a garbage memo.

It will be frequently and voluminously leaked.

The “I know you are, but what am I?” memo.

Schiff wants a partisan nuclear war. I say give it to him. It would make great beltway theater for Nunes to ask him at a committee hearing why he did not want the American people to know that Hillary paid for the garbage dossier. There is a whole laundry list now of Democrat obstruction. Dems only get away with it because of media top cover.

A “secure room” is a joke if somebody is determined to tell all they can remember.

So in typical circle jerk fashion, will the doj release a memo aimed at the dnc? This is getting reeee-friggin’-diculous. One good thing, it just reaffirms what an assclown schiff-for-brains is.

The last I saw, perhaps one Democrat has made the long journey to the secure room at DOJ to read the memo.

As I understand, they may read it but may not take any notes or photo’s of the document.

So, since only one Democrat has read it, how do they all know word for word with such authority what’s in it and how to rebut it.

This Hot-Potato routine has gotten tiresome.
Makes you wonder if there even is a ‘Memo’ to be released at all?

There is a big no to this manufactured BS Dem obfuscation. I hope they shoot Schiff twice.

Of course the Democrat anti-memo will be leaked. That’s what Democrats do. It took the committee over 9 months to make the majority memo. It took the Democrats a couple of weeks at most to come up with the anti-memo. I can summarize the anti-memo for you. “The Republicans are racist, sexist, lying homophobes so any facts in the memos should be ignored.”

"It was written by attorneys as a rebuttal to our memo, but it's not going to move their argument forward," noted one Republican member who has read the Democratic paper.

I thought the "classified" memo was available only to be read by members of congress. Who are these attorneys they speak of and how can they write a rebuttal without having read the first memo?

and far more personal — they go after [Nunes] again and again.

That's Alinsky 101. Pick the target. Freeze it. Polarize it. Personalize it.

Of course a TRUE COMPETITOR is one who comes in 1st & 3rd in a CJ.

Good Q in your tagline...I have ‘often wondered’ the same...

Look around at who in ‘charge’ today and it was all a waste of time OR a big lie....sameo sameo though

Who are these attorneys they speak of...

Senior staffers to Schiff and other Dem Intel Committee members. Senior staffers, aka lawyers, often have high level security clearances to facilitate committee work.
