House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, and Democratic lawmakers slammed President Trump after he approved the release of a memo questioning surveillance methods by the FBI during the early stages of the Russia investigation, arguing that he gave up “his constitutional responsibility” by releasing it.
“President Trump has surrendered his constitutional responsibility as commander in chief by releasing highly classified and distorted intelligence,” Pelosi said. “By not protecting intelligence sources and methods, he just sent his friend Putin a bouquet.
"[House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin] Nunes’ partisan spin memo distorts highly classified intelligence in a cynical attempt to discredit our national intelligence and law enforcement agencies and the Special Counsel investigation,” Pelosi argued. “Releasing the memo is a desperate attempt to distract the American people from the truth about the Trump-Russia scandal.”
Pelosi reiterated her call for Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to remove Nunes as chairman of the committee and repeated the FBI's warning against releasing the memo, saying it would be an "extraordinarily reckless" action.
Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, called the memo a Republican "betrayal of the American people."
"House Republicans are now accomplices to a shocking campaign to obstruct the work of the special counsel, to undermine the credibility and legitimacy of the Justice Department and the FBI, and to bury the fact that a foreign adversary interfered with our last election," the Democratic members of the committee said.
The memo says the dossier compiled by Christopher Steele was used by the FBI as part of the initial request and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page, a former adviser to the Trump campaign. The FBI, however, launched its formal investigation into the Trump campaign in July 2016 due to the activities of foreign policy aide George Papadopoulos.
Another allegation pulled out of the air and thrown against the wall to see if IT would stick. They have had no luck so far with much sticking.
Next, we will be hearing that his releasing the memo was racist.
Well there was. The method of feeding bullshit to compromised courts.
75% of Independent voters liked Trump’s State of the Union speech. They like what’s going on with the economy. And they’ve never seen the media act so blatant in their bias and hatred towards a GOP POTUS.
Do these idiots think that Independent voters will listen to their new meme of “everyone who disagrees with us is a Russian agent”?
They do, it’s called cspan
And she surrendered her brain by taking a crap!
Comeystain leaked thinfs and made false statements too
Hey, Nanc....Trump didn't release it. The House of Representatives released it, via all the proper procedures in place by its committee system. Try again.
She Idiot.
Exactly. And so does the MSM.
Cud-chewing old sick heifer has Zero proof to back up her words.
She’s a babbling demented moonbat with Hell’s jaws hot on her heels. Repent Walpurgis.
"Every time a liberal lies another Pelosi brain cell dies!"
Who knew yahoo.com fake news was highly classified material?
If she doesn’t watch out, she’ll have more stooooopid quotes than Sheila.
Hey Nancy... spell Constitution.
No way. She's not trustworthy enough to handle food or money. She could be gainfully employed collecting litter off the roadsides if kept under continuous supervision.
And I always thought the loon was the state bird of Minniesoda. It’s the head of the Dems in Dc too.
It is clear that the FBI profiles against whistle blowers, ie against people with integrity. And it also is clear that the diversity gay pride day at the FBI only serve to have job dependant slaves there who cannot function outside their quota blessings in real life.
Another aspect is that if the FBI was truly serious about Russia, what they claim about Russia would amount to a case of nuclear world war, but they do not go there, do they!? So either they subvert the nation with bull sht or they actually work for the Russians, period.
A trial of possession is needed
