“I wanna know why Ryan passed the buck,why would he do that?”
If he wants to leave the decision to the guy in charge of the committee, I don’t have a problem with it. If, on the other hand, Nunes convenes the committee and they vote to release it, and Ryan overrides, that would be a problem.
What I don’t know is who wrote this memo. Can anyone help me out here?
I would like to know who composed the memo as well. Is it a summary of the Devin Nunes investigation? If the thinking is to let the memo leak out slowly while the details of the IG’s findings inside the FBI are forthcoming you can understand that strategy to maximize the bang for the buck. I think that Pres. Trump had to be leary of some severe racial blowback if upon taking office he claimed that Obama was the evil head of the deep state. Personally I believe that Brennan, Clapper and possibly, Leon Panetta may wind up doing time in Leavenworth.
The memo is reported to be Nunes', or the product of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. I gather it to be a summary of findings, a sort of "redacted" paraphrase of base evidence. No DEM was involved in producing it. Those DEMs that speak of it claim it is misleading.
