Letter and Tweet at link.
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are calling for an immediate meeting with officials from the FBI and Department of Justice over the claims made in the memo drafted by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.).
The letter, spearheaded by ranking member Rep. Jerrod Nadler (D-N.Y.), is directed to committee chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.). In it, Nadler asks Goodlatte to arrange a meeting with FBI Director Christopher Wray and other representatives from the Justice Department to examine the "talking points" that he says Republicans are using to "discredit the work of the FBI and Special Counsel Robert Mueller."
"It is imperative that we hear directly from these officials about the security and law enforcement implications of making this information public," Nadler wrote.
"It is also important that we hear about any inaccuracies or key omissions from the Nunes document," he added.
President Trump plans to release a memo drafted by Nunes purporting to detail surveillance abuses by the federal government to be made public despite warnings from the FBI that the document contains inaccurate statements and omissions of fact.
“The president is OK with it,” a White House official told reporters traveling with Trump aboard Air Force One. “I doubt there will be any redactions. It’s in Congress’s hands after that.”
“As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy," the bureau said in a statement.
Nunes has dismissed the FBI's criticism and accused the bureau of running a counterintelligence operation based off of unverified information during the 2016 election.
"It’s clear that top officials used unverified information in a court document to fuel a counterintelligence investigation during an American political campaign. Once the truth gets out, we can begin taking steps to ensure our intelligence agencies and courts are never misused like this again,” Nunes said.
Schiff failed so they’re sending in “Jabba the Hutt” Nadler.
Bump! :)
The thought of Marion or a noose could explain that.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally missing the point, as usual. They are not screaming that the memo compromises national security, or that it contains false information.
They ARE putting forth the claim that it is misleading due to some non-specified omissions.
Well Jerrod Nadler can cash in some of the good will he’s garnered with republicans over the years to get this done. The lying socialist POS should get the same the response he gives when asked to consider the opposition’s view, “FU”.
Anyone who was inclined to downplay the thing has been drowned in a tidal wave of flopsweat. The Dems were hoping to ride the impeachment thing all the way to a majority in ‘18 - it isn’t much of a plan but it’s the one they chose because it looked like as sure a thing as a Hillary victory looked like in ‘16. Which, I suppose, it is.
You know it must be very bad with every single Dem marching to the same beat. Clearly the evidence must be persuasive or they would just release their own counter-memo and spin the MSM.
I’ve always believed sunlight is the best disinfectant.
It should. If it doesn't we are really in the crapper.
For the record, IMO, it won't.
Liberals are so corrupt and perverted that they don't give a damn what crimes are committed by the liberal elite. I honestly believe that 40% or more of this country would like to see internment camps for those who oppose liberalism.
And now this.
It's time to see who Mueller has been communicating, coordinating with and leaking to?
Hmmmmm, inquiring minds want to know how many favors Mueller called in to come to his defense. Let's get Mueller's phone, text and email records throughout this investigation.
Mueller meeting with Comey prior to Comey’s testimony should NEVER have been approved by Ryan. Mueller is calling in favors. Memo needs to be released at 12:01am 2/2/2018.
You really dont know why?
Wall street Journal reported today that Page was on the FBI’s radar in 2013 when he was interviewed...before the Steele dossier.
Everything is telling me Nunes is a bumbling idiot.
Let them meet.
At the same time, the public can review The Memo and the supporting documents.
Obstruction of justice, or aiding and abetting seditionists.
They already met. Clinton pushing buttons
It’s called, “Plotting a Coup”
“Alan Dershowitz commented last night on Laura’s show that it used to be in the past that Democrats were wanting full disclosure and accountability of Govt agencies like the FBI”
“
Yeah, cuz they were criminals outside the gubbermint breaking the law and they were worried about getting caught. Now the criminals are in control of our 4 trillion dollar stasi state.
Just like bingo....”Hold your cards”. I have seen this was too often throughout the decades.
