The House Intelligence Committee voted unanimously on Monday to make public a classified Democratic memorandum rebutting Republican claims that the F.B.I. and the Justice Department had abused their powers to wiretap a former Trump campaign official, setting up a possible clash with President Trump.
The vote gives Mr. Trump five days to review the Democratic memo and determine whether he will try to block its release. A decision to stop it could lead to an ugly standoff between the president, his top law enforcement and intelligence advisers and Democrats on Capitol Hill.
I like this line: "The vote gives Mr. Trump five days to review the Democratic memo and determine whether he will try to block its release."
Please, we KNOW he is going to try to block it because it will undercut his mythology about the Nunes memo vindicating him.
However I am not really convinced that this memo needs to be released.
After all the Nunes memo was essentially its own rebuttal, as it did not deliver ANY of the things that Trump and his acolytes claimed that it would deliver.
Either the Democratic memo will serve to drive a final stake through the heart of the Republican attempts to vilify the FBI and Justice Department, or it will serve as a distraction while the Republicans regroup and launch their attack from another direction.
Remember the goal here is to keep Donald Trump in office for as long as possible, and the Republicans have already demonstrated that there are no ethical or moral barriers that will keep them from that objective.
" new research by The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), “there have been at least 13 alt-right related fatal episodes, leaving 43 dead. And more than 60 injured in these incidents (see list). Nine of the 12 incidents counted here occurred in 2017 alone, making last year the most violent year for the movement.”
ReplyDeleteThey explain that the alt-right consists of “vicious trolls, racist activists, and bitter misogynists.”"

===================================================
Trump's bipartisan pitch long gone; now he's talking treason
By JILL COLVIN - The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump's call in the State of the Union address last week for a new era of bipartisan cooperation seems like a distant memory.
Now, he's calling Democrats "un-American" and perhaps "treasonous" for not clapping during that address part of a larger trend of recent insults and slights as the president turns his ire on the opposition party for failing to go along with his plans.
His treason quip on Monday triggered an uproar among Democrats. The White House quickly responded that the president was joking, although Trump hasn't said or tweeted as much.........
Trump made his treason remark during an appearance at an Ohio manufacturing plant, where he said Republicans went "totally crazy, wild, they loved everything" about his State of the Union address. He described Democrats as refusing to applaud even positive news, and said they'd prefer to see him do badly than the country do well.
"Can we call that treason? Why not?" he asked, lobbing an extraordinary accusation. "They certainly didn't seem to love our country very much," Trump added.
We are in one sick nation! Fight them back Democrats....go after impeachment of Trump first and foremost!

ReplyDelete" makes the situation particularly unusual is that the committee’s RULES require its chairman to consult with the top member of the other party when starting a probe. Adam Schiff, the committee’s top Democrat, told reporters last week that Nunes did not consult with him before starting his new investigation."
Nunes is obviously a very corrupt individual.
DeleteThese Republicans in Congress are dirty as they come. Democrats should play them exactly the same way! Especially when it comes to Trump and his ilk. I would continue to support Democrats 100%!
ReplyDeletei am sad that that no one yelled "you lie" at the SOTU address. the bastard had the nerve to call Democrats "traitors, ect" because they didn't worship his fat ass. who works for the Russians?? who taxed this country to death?? who sleeps with porn stars and pays them off? as far as i know, not Democrats.
Delete"“Donald Trump, I truly believe doesn’t know any better. I believe he’s the hamburger-eating, Zamboni-riding loon we see TV and on Twitter, but Paul Ryan knows better,” Wallace blasted."“Stormy Daniels suggests the most salacious [allegations] probably are true. I’m serious,” Wallace noted.
ReplyDelete“Let’s just be real here, [the dossier] is thought of not being true because of the golden showers and the sex. Okay? Let’s just lay it out,” Wallace suggested.
“I think that the Stormy Daniels and the $130,000 payment to a porn star make the most salacious things among the most credible,” Wallace suggested.
“Certainly they’re worth revisiting,” Associated Press White House reporter Jonathan Lemire suggested. “You learn more and more about Donald Trump’s private life, you think it’s possible it could be true.”"I want to un-hear all these things,” Wallace admitted.""< NOT ME~TELL~IT~

I read the Nunes memo myself, and could not understand how it helped Trump. It definitely did not vindictate him. His decision to go against his own Justice Department and release it perplexed me.
ReplyDeleteThen I realized that Trump does not read. I believe he couldn’t be bothered to read the memo at all, and he simply believed what his delusional staff told him. He’s a lazy idiot.
