“With regard to the House Intelligence Committee’s memorandum, the FBI was provided a limited opportunity to review this memo the day before the committee voted to release it...As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.”
FBI Director Christopher Wray [a Trump Appointee] told the White House he opposes release of a classified Republican [Devin Nunes] memo alleging bias at the FBI and Justice Department because it contains inaccurate information and paints a false narrative, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The FBI came close to publicly opposing the memo’s release, saying in a statement Wednesday that it has “grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.”

In case you've forgotten who Nunes is:
Nunes, who is the chairman of the House intelligence committee and worked on Trump’s transition team, has been leading an effort to steer his panel’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election away from the Trump campaign. Instead, Nunes has insisted the real issue is “unmasking” by Barack Obama’s administration officials.
In April, Nunes temporarily stepped aside from his committee’s investigation after he met with White House officials to obtain information on the Obama administration’s unmasking of American citizens. He subsequently used that information to provide cover for Trump’s dubious claim that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower during the 2016 election.

I was trying to figure out how a memo written by House Boy Republican Devin Nunes, who was linked to a number of events that lead to the suspicious firing of James Comey (the first FBI Director that was supposed to be investing the Trump Campaign's ties to Russia) can have any credibility at all.
But now it appears that there is some classified information in the Nunes memo that McTwitterwit wants released, no matter the cost, in order to undermine the foundation of the Russia Investigation -- which we all know leads back to McTwitterwit himself.
So now I have a series of questions:
So now I have a series of questions:
If Trump a.k.a McTwitterwit hurls his tubby magazine spanked by-a-porn-star bottom over DOJ and FBI objections and releases this memo anyway, does that mean the FBI and DOJ cannot rebut what's been left out of the memo with their own classified information?
Doesn't that mean that some crucial Nunes lies are going get out into the public and go fundamentally unchallenged? And why haven't the democrats been proactive in stating this is a possibility BEFOREHAND?
Why is a Trump appointee the strongest voice against Trump's attempts to undermine the Russia Investigation?
Are the democrats as useless as I think they are?
I also read that the Trump administration has been skipping the lower courts and going directly to the Supreme Court for decisions -- which I thought couldn't be done. Silly me. They are looking more and more like the place for a president to go to for a legal rubber stamp.
I know I'm not the only one resisting the belief that our democracy is going down in flames at this very moment. But I really am increasingly nervous about how this stupid Orange Devil has damaged this country quasi-permanently with the assistance of House and Senate republicans who do actually know what they are doing.
....which may be why so many republicans are retiring right now. They actually have a conscience. Who-da guessed?
