WSJ Columnist: Would Democrats Fight This Hard To Kill A Memo About A Republican Abusing Wiretaps?

The release of the FISA memo is upon us. The four-page document Democrats have maligned as an attempt to undermine the FBI and the Russia investigation alleges egregious abuses, some of which are said to echo that of the KGB. It’s sparked a war between the Department of Justice/FBI and Congress. The White House is now involved, as they’re supportive of releasing the memo. The vote to declassify was held by the House Intelligence Committee on Monday. It passed on a party-line vote. It then undergoes a five-day period in which the president can either support its release or block it. That same day, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray failed to convince White House Chief of Staff John Kelly to block the memo’s release. The war is over. The president is signing off on releasing it. Now, the DOJ is continuing to use the media as a means to fight the White House in this decision, which The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel described as outrageous.

While Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) thinks the memo edits were pernicious and Nancy Pelosi thinks House Intelligence Committee chair Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) should be removed from that position, let’s be clear: the edits were at the request of…the Democrats and the FBI. It was a two-word change. This is what we mean by silly clown games in the FISA memo war. The Left is foaming at the mouth from the bath salts.
