Please call, tweet, or email to ask them if they are asking for the memo to be released. If not, why not? This is ridiculous. Our tax dollars paid for that memo and our votes elected those who have control over it, we shouldn't have to beg for it.
Invert the perspective. Only a handful are opposed to release, and if more pop up, it is still a minority of the House.
The memo will come out. Timing will be just fine. Be patient.
Some (allegedly) on the right...
McCain and Linda?
If I can believe any of this, DACA is not an Executive Order and never was anything close to a bill in Congress, then DACA is fairy tale fiction and doesn’t actually exist, so we can start deporting illegals immediately.
So, lemme get this straight - somebody on YouTube claims to have read a whole bunch of top secret stuff and tells us everything they think we want to hear - and we’re supposed to believe a word of this . . . WHY?
“Please call, tweet, or email to ask them if they are asking for the memo to be released. If not, why not? This is ridiculous. Our tax dollars paid for that memo and our votes elected those who have control over it, we shouldn’t have to beg for it. “
I feel your frustration as well, but we have representative government. This demands direct government by people who have no idea what might result from such a release. For example, President Carter was asked a question at a Washington Dinner party and he said, “Well, we know from Muhimar Kaddafi’s brother in law that...” The brother in law was supplying intelligence to the Israelis who then supplied it to the CIA, who, like idiots, briefed Carter. The brother in law was arrested and tortured to death.
During the Cuban missile crisis Kennedy asked the British to contact their agent on the Politburo to see if the Russians were willing to go to war. They did and the answer was no. But the contact was observed and the agent was arrested and tortured to death.
We know the memo is based on raw intelligence data. Who might be harmed by the release of that data? We don’t know. But our elected representatives do know. Let’s give them some space to handle this the way that presents minimum risk.
We are unhappy. Is it our representative’s fault? Probably not.
I reviewed a 13 minute video at the link. My notes and some of the documents referenced in the video are in the OP. My opinion after watching the video?
Only handful of congressmen (Along with President Trump) are asking for the 4 page memo to be released, which I think indicates there are swamp dwellers on both sides of the aisle hiding it. We should at least be able to count on "republicans" to support the wishes of republicans. But, so few represent us. Time to vote new congress men and women into office.
The video also features Democrats Diane Feinstein and Adam Schiff working to suppress our freedom of speech by writing a letter to Facebook and Twitter CEO's asking them to delete #RELEASE THE MEMO Tweets.
Please click "Private Message" below to tell me if you want on or off the ping list.
RELEASE THE MEMO!
Actually, only a few RINOs in the House have opposed the Memo release. Even Establishment figure House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy supports release of the Memo.
3 page DACA memo from Janet Napolitano.
This specific fact is amply referred to in numerous court proceedings as well as official and non-official letters that make news, and is not contentious.
The popular wisdom is that DACA was implemented via Obama EO is "close enough," no doubt he ordered Napolitano to implement the policy. Clearly, an EO is not required for the DACA program to exist.
The goofy letter from Schiff and Feinstein asked for an investigation.
In the letter, Schiff and Feinstein request that Twitter and Facebook immediately conduct an in-depth forensic examination of the reported actions by Russian bots and trolls surrounding the #ReleaseTheMemo online campaign and how users were exposed to this campaign as a result of Russian efforts.Schiff, Feinstein Request Twitter and Facebook Conduct Investigation ...
I would not trust the "author" of the video. Heart may in the right place, but either sloppy or ignorant assertions couched as fact (not opinion or speculation) are harmful to the public.
The more they drag this out, the less I think of it as “Blockbuster” info.
Sundance posits an interesting theory...
Imagine You are Not a Politician, Yet You are Running For The Presidency…
Here, let me straighten you out. The vlogger supplies documents for the viewer to read through and come to their own conclusion. I linked those documents in the above.
You may, if you wish, prefer to get your news from the MSM. The information in the OP from an online journalist offers more for the viewer to use to make up their own decision than the MSM does in matters of much greater significance.
The 99 page report upon which the 4 page memo was based has been released and has been analyzed and does not indicate the concerns are regarding raw intelligence.
President Trump wants us to be able to read the 4 page memo. I stand with President Trump.
I think that is a natural and correct view, for one like you who has been exposed to this sort of speculation and evidence for months at least. But the general pubic is totally in the dark. A good number believe the MSM is straight-up news.
There is also a point of how exposure of this news will affect the political process between Congress and the FBI/DOJ.
And simply put, taking Comey from his "thanks for your honorable service" perch to "disgraced" taints those in Congress who lauded him publicly.
This memo is not the last salvo. It is the opening. Small arms fire.
Nudnes redacted the report already and came up with this 4 page memo. Everyone who has seen it and talked about said it does not endanger any assets or national security. The redaction doesn’t need redacted.
So very strange and it fits the timeline mentioned here.
I might have been shadow banned on Twitter!
I also noticed that a few days ago, the #ReleaseTheMemo hashtag was no longer auto-filling. It's like it was removed completely from the Twitter database.
Nunes.
The information in the OP is mixed. Some well sourced, some not.
June 22 letter from Waters is a forgery
Be careful who you trust. I check lots of material myself. You should too. The fact that something is linked does not make it reliable or "best evidence."
The four page "Nunes memo" (not necessarily by him, just convenient shorthand) and the 99 page FISA Court opinion probably share some evidence, but the 4 page memo is not "based on the FISC opinion."
Seriously, most of what is on the internet is junk. It is tough slogging to figure out what is really going on. I think the ratio of mis/disinformation to "good stuff" is probably on the order of 1,000:1 or 10,000:1
Look for base sources. Even the junk purveyors occassionally cite and link to the raw underlying data.
