#RELEASETHEMEMO
Today is the day (allegedly) that Trump will announce the approved release of the infamous Nunes memo regarding FBI surveillance practices and alleged FISA abuses. A few quick thoughts:
1) Nobody is disputing the facts of the memo. The dispute is that it’s only a partial picture, an incomplete telling; therefore, the conclusions drawn are incorrect. However, remember that the actual facts have not been disputed by either the Democrats or the FBI.
2) The Democrats have been fighting ridiculously hard to keep this under wraps. There has to be a reason why, and I’m interested to find out why.
3) The FBI is likewise against the release. In my opinion that’s because either it reveals methods of intelligence gathering that could impact future operations (not likely) OR because it makes the FBI look really bad. Occam’s razor.
4) The memo is undoubtedly partisan. No dispute. See point number one. It’s possible to see through the potentially inflated rhetoric and look at the facts to say “wait... did that really happen?”. In other words, question the source, but don’t dismiss it in full because of the source. I believe we will see some very intriguing facts, but we may have to glean our own conclusions.
5) pop the popcorn and grab a chair. The mud is about to be flung everywhere.

Didn’t we figure out that Nunes is a self-aggrandizing idiot who’ll run amok with classified information in efforts to figuratively fellate Trump about a year ago (that ultimately ended up being Nunes’ inability to understand how unmasking works?)
Which version of the memo is he releasing? It’s been tweaked and tinkered with, if I and Adam Schiff aren’t mistaken.
Here’s a novel idea, try to do your job as an elected rep, Nunes. We’ve got another potential government shutdown coming up in a couple weeks. You’re in the majority party...try
governing
(while you still have that majority), instead of trying to obfuscate the fuckery that the president & co have partaken in.

An credible brave honorable man like Devin Nunes is sure to be trusted, indeed.
Why no sanctions?
When one’s son meets with apparatchiks and daughter meets with the apparent gf of a new Soviet despot, that’s smoke right there.

We’ve got another potential government shutdown coming up in a one week.
FIFY
Also, IIRC they only have 3 working days left. Both parties thought it was smart to take 3 day vacations, not at the same time.

We’re not far from having a Republican guard and a Democratic militia.
Also release all the memos. This is so partisan it’s not even funny. I knew Trump would be bad but now we’re politicizing our intelligence gathering and asking for oaths of allegiance. Sounds like the secret police isn’t too far away.

Shit, you’re right, 2/8 (Thursday next) is the current “government funding/shitshow day of reckoning”.
I’ve essentially lost the past week of my life on Vicodin after wisdom tooth surgery.

Nunes isn’t trustworthy, his memo probably readslike some sort of fan-fiction trump erotica because all that he does is kiss his ass.

To answer ‘why?’ referenced in point 2, please refer to points 1, 3, and 4.

That’s kind of my take on Nunes. What I am waiting to see is post-Trump GOP and how many Trumpies get shunned.

My thoughts exactly. I used it sparingly for four days when the pain was pretty much unbearable, 8 or 9 pills total. Royally screwed with both my sleep schedule and digestive system days after I’d ceased use.
Next time I need pain meds, I’m picking up some THC edibles, to hell with that stuff.

Opulence guy is probably a campaign donor hoping for an end to Obama-era sanctions, and pleased that 45 didn’t follow up with new ones.
