President Donald Trump shared the text of a Wall Street Journal editorial sounding the alarm about the information revealed in the memo declassified by the House Intelligence Committee. The editorial accused the FBI of using the FISA court and the phony opposition dossier funded by Hillary Clinton to influence the election.
It read:
We don’t know the political motives of the FBI and Justice officials, but the facts are damaging enough. The FBI in essence let itself and the FISA court be used to promote a major theme of the Clinton campaign. Mr. Steele and Fusion then leaked the fact of the investigation to friendly reporters to try to defeat Mr. Trump before the election. And afterward they continued to leak all this to the press to cast doubt on the legitimacy of Mr. Trump’s victory.
No matter its motives, the FBI became a tool of anti-Trump political actors. This is unacceptable in a democracy and ought to alarm anyone who wants the FBI to be a nonpartisan enforcer of the law.
The Journal’s editorial called for the declassification of more documents and praised House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes for releasing the memo.
“[E]xposing abuses is the essence of accountability in a democracy,” the editorial read.
The paper was not entirely supportive of the president, recommending that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation continue.

Actually we do know the political motives of the FBI and DOJ officials.
Idiot media.
Bump!
Another attempt to bait Trump. They are really desperate for Trump to fire Rosenstein or Mueller.
I think Durbin et al need to return their heads to their dark places and shut their treasonous mouths.
All this after Trump let Hillary go. Time to rehash “Lock Her Up”!
The “constitutional crisis” might be caused by a dearth of bullying Democ*nt senators after the DC cherry trees get decorated...
That was a mistake. Just like not firing the entire Obama team on day one.
I suspect that Rosenstein and Mueller may “fire” themselves. Monday may be interesting. There is a possibility that Muller may drop charges against Flynn.
No, the Mueller investigation is still an illegitimate witch hunt desperate to find anything to try a coup de tau and ignore 2016 election results. It is so illegitimate that they couldn't even name a crime to investigate.
I would say the FBI and the Clinton criminal cabal trying to deny the people to a fair election is a constitutional crisis in itself, especially since those involved are still walking around scot free.
He should drop charges against both Papa and Flynn. But he won’t. The reason is that he knows he’s got to make a show for the Dems. Otherwise when this is over it won’t be over. I think he’s dreaming if he thinks he can thread this needle. But he knows he’s got to try.
Mueller investigation continue? What a bunch of scumbags.
BS. President Trump doesn’t need any memo to fire anyone. Indeed, not only can any president do it - but Our current president is famous for his “You’re Fired!” Line. Most regrettably, he’s not been using it to Drain the Swamp. We need him to get it going — big time!
“Durbin: If Trump Uses The Memo To Fire Rosenstein Or Mueller, It Could ‘Precipitate A Constitutional Crisis’”
Not to you, but to the above. Bottom line, we were told that about Comey. We were told that about releasing the memo. Now we’re told that about Rosenstein. It’s getting so redundant that it’s sounding like the ‘racism’ charge.
Bottom line is that Trump can fire ANYONE who works for him. It is up to Trump to determine whether it’s worth the risk. In this case, with the memo out there, it is clearly LOW RISK to remove Rosenstein (which explains the Democrat panic in releasing it).
The special counsel is the corrupt state’s way to get rid of Trump under the guise of law. A ‘legal’ coup so to speak. Mueller and his high treason co-conspirators won’t quit until they’re stopped. Fired or indicted. Even then, they’d balk.
Once that happens the corrupt state will resort to more unsavory means to accomplish that end.
IOW, the left are in an all out war against Trump and America. The American people better pull their heads out of their asses real quick like
Government no longer works for conservatives. The Democrats have imbedded partisans into the leadership of all government departments. Their aim is to damage conservatives at every opportunity.
Government is working against the law abiding working-class taxpayers.
They've become so emboldened that they're presently attempting a coup against the POTUS.
When do we do something and what do we do?
I've had enough!

To my knowledge, no-one has ever been held responsible for the EPA and IRS crimes. What other government agencies/departments are presently committing crimes against us?
