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.
When you think about a top-flight Piece of $hit, you’re talking about JERROLD Nadless! Every time I see him, I am reminded of that “Green Thing” (the emulation of a pile of snot) in the Mucenex commercials.
Democrats sure are in a panic! Wow! They want us, “small people” in Comey’s words, to be kept in dark as to what is going on in Washington.
“And where the heck is Barrack and Hillary? Why so quiet?”
I hope beyond hope (not the Michelle Obama kind of hope) that those two are huddled up with their respective teams trying to figure out how to blame the other ... and I’m hoping Barry comes out on top, but humiliated.
Seriously, the Clintons *need* to be humiliated for all they’ve done to this country and its citizens before they drop dead. *THAT* would be justice.
Hell on Earth for Barry is seeing his entire legacy eradicated by a guy that won his office without having run for a political office before -AND- performing beyond everyone’s wildest expectations while Holder and Jarret rot in jail. He’s nothing w/o his handlers.
...The Rats are scrambling out of the woodwork...
Like nasty cockroaches scurrying to the darkness away from sudden sunlight.
Panic sets in. Soros Democrats are going to have a hard time falling this sleep this evening.
May God Bless Nunes and Donald Trump for a job well done!
Nice touch on your part.
Consider yourself *highly* commended. :-)
I just want to warn everyone that you can overdose on anything. Even popcorn.
Thanks.
If true, that’s a big deal. (Not quite Biden’s words but close)
Arrest Nadler the Hutt and hang him.
And you think POTUS & all the Republican congressmen are bumbling idiots too?
When the Memo is released it should be accompanied with an announcement that a Grand Jury was convened this week and all parties involved in violations of US law are going to be indicted. Forget the Special Counsel, they take forever - go the GJ route.
Indict
They hope for that but it’s not gonna happen. It’s judgment day and there is no escape.
Oh, and there's the little matter of lying to a Federal Judge to get permission to do so.
And the rumours of up to 20 million Americans surveilled.../mic drop>
Quite an ironic thing for comey to say about Sen. Joseph McCarthy, inasmuch as nearly en to be so by the then highly secret Venona intercepts. Most of Truman and FDR admin senior advisors, and yes, even the little innocent lawyer who was whined about as “have you no decency”— the one who belonged to the Lawyers Guild, which is still a commie group.
Comey is being outed, and trying to hide behind the same liberal media that protected the spies for decades. The NYTimes being the most prominent of the day.
What you suggest is likely what will happen.
Amen!
I love it
