“No mention so far on Fox about the Nunes report and possible release.”
Maria Bartiromo covered it on her 10 am show Sunday Morning Futures (may be the best Sunday am news show on right now - especially when she’s on, and not a guest host).
I recently read the Millenium Report.

Once you read that you realzie that our govt. has been run by a secret govt. for decades now. Stuff like missing docs, erased tapes, killings, no justice here or there, was just SOP and has only been stemmed since Trump came into office.He may change the entire equation. We can only hope.
Could McConnell simply change the vote to 51 instead of 60 if he wanted to? Are there any repercussions?
Exactly they always self destruct sooner or later.
Wow that’s what I am hearing. That President Trump does not have to sign off only Nunes can make the call and that’s it?
That’s what I was thinking? Who give a crap about the nuclear option? The fear, I suppose, is what happens if the rats take the Senate. Possible in 2020?
Thanks for the link - I’ve added it to my ‘reading list’.
If Trump can’t change the equation, no one can - he’s one-of-a-kind and a special guy in a lot of ways.-
Ha! One early morning I stopped to grab a quick Cappuccino at a Café in Brindisi... The kind were there’s a rollup door and stools are put out on the street when open. The only other customer was a Carabinieri, who upon climbing up the bar stool dropped his Beretta PIVI 12 S2 off his shoulder and down the stool, with the barrel pointed at me the whole time!
It was one of those three ring chrome stools, so it hit each ring on the way down; sure thought I was a gonner!
He then did one of those Italian two armed shrugs (Shoulders back with the palms up), grinned sheepishly, and picked it up, this time making sure the strap was securely on his shoulder. He was pretty embarrassed as I was in uniform.
Impressive experience you had. Thanks for sharing. I found it enlightening.
A.B. you have some crazy stories!
Absolutely, Bray! Obamagate is the biggest scandal/disgrace in the past 40 years--and possibly in American history--and the Dems/GOPe try to distract the American people with the Schumer Schutdown.
(1) @MindfulnessWins makes a point that I can use to springboard into my theory.

(2) I'm getting tweets from leftists saying, "This is a big nothing. The Republicans are faking." @ThomasWictor
9h9 hours ago
(3) The Democrats are saying that the memo is based on "unsubstantiated claims."

(4) Why are leftists now so confident?

(5) Because Trump hasn't declassified the information.
(6) The average person thinks that Trump's inaction means it's a "ruse," as an Austrian just told me.
(7) The Democratic members of Congress who've read the memo almost certainly think that Trump won't declassify the information for two reasons:
(8) One, it'll compromise what the Intelligence Community calls "sources and methods."
(9) And two, Trump doesn't have the guts to expose Obama.
It would just be too much of a political earthquake.
(10) So my theory is that Trump is simply letting the tension build.
He's a film buff, and he's a TV star.
(11) The most effective drama is the kind that lets the tension build until it's unbearable.
(12) So everything that's happening now is for the purpose of building tension.
(13) Even at this late date, the Democrats don't know who they're dealing with.
Trump would destroy them in a second.
IN A SECOND.
(14) Trump is a builder.
He HATES those who can only tear down.
He also hates those who oppose improvement.
(15) So I'm pretty sure we're going to have a long wait, while the Democrats get cockier and cockier, and then they get insulting.
(16) And at EXACTLY the right moment, in a way that compromises NOTHING, Trump will release the information.
(17) There's actually no hurry, so my guess is we have a bit of a wait...
KENNA MACCALLUM
Replying to @ThomasWictor @MindfulnessWins Ahh Thomas they have no patience... timing is everything. Never read the last chapter first it ruins the book.
Replying to @ThomasWictor @MindfulnessWins
I am betting on @TulsiGabbard 2do the right thing.She has shown her independent thinking when she stepped down from the #DNC to campaign for Bernie.It was the right way.Colluding with press, wrong way.I may not like her choice but I respect her integrity. #Mindfulness #Winning
Wictor nothing short of brilliant.
They were all painstakingly agonizing to watch today.Really bad day for the drivebys.All shows were lies compounded upon other lies.
Thanks bud,I’m exhausted about ready to call it a day.
LOL
The odds on that happening are slim or none. It's our fault that they have even established a talking point on that. They have twice as many Senate seats up for grabs as we do and they are in far more jeopardy of losing more seats than ever gaining anything at all.
We need to work on that chattinggpoint a lot more than we have.
Long before there was a CIA—or OSS even—the NKVD (Narodnyi Komissariat Vnutrennikh Del), basically the precursor to the KGB, headed by Stalin’s bloodthirsty henchman Lavrentiy Beria,was deeply embedded in many nations, wrecking havoc and all kinds of mischief.
They were in the USA in depth and had actually penetrated the Manhattan Project, with some saying the got as far up as Oppenheimer himself, but at least to dozens of Oppenheimer’s assistants, including the Rosenbergs, who were convicted and executed for espionage.
After WWII, they became the KGB and flushed out even more against us. It was ugly, bitter work opposing them. I think it was George Orwell who said, “We sleep peaceably in our beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on our behalf.”
Sure, the CIA were notorious. But so were the Soviets, and they were at it a lot longer than us. Whole countries fell to them after WWII, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, East Germany, Romania, and then North Korea, China (!!!), Vietnam, Mongolia, Egypt, Afghanistan and Cuba.
The KGB were trying in the rest of Europe (Greece, Italy, West Germany), Asia (Malaysia, Indonesia), the Middle East (Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen), Africa (Angola, Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Kenya, Sudan, Libya, Algeria—what’s left?) and Latin America (Chile, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador, Argentina). The list is too long and I’m still sometimes surprised we won it.
I won’t belittle the CIA tactics in hindsight. Wish we could have done the peace a lot better, though.
Exactly Donald Trump is the potus we have waited a lifetime for and now he is here! I for one will never stop supporting him.
The problem is we know cia have run drugs in mena,afghanistan,created wars all over and done all kinds of nefarious things. We also know there is a good part of the CIa It needs to be reinvented if it is to ever regain credibility.
