House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in a Sunday show interview said a classified memo from the House Intelligence Committee should be made public.

“Having read this memo, I think it would be appropriate that the public has full view of it,” McCarthy told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
quote:

Republicans who have viewed the memo claim it includes evidence of law enforcement officials abusing surveillance powers.

McCarthy during the interview on Sunday pushed back on the notion that releasing the memo would amount to Trump tampering with the Russia investigation.

“It has nothing to do with the president right now. It is the committee doing their work,” McCarthy said.

I am not giving them an excuse but they did get a bigly strongly worded letter that they should not release -it- IT IS DANGEROUS OH NOES- from the people that are exposed in it having some fourth in charge flunky WARN THEM.

Why do men propose on Valentine's Day rather than the day they buy the ring?

It's all about the timing.

This memo can only be released ONCE for the first time. They want it to have a huge impact. My guess is that it will come out two days before the State of the Union address.

It will be a huge frick You to the Democrats, HRC, President Pigment and the rest.

The SOTU is this Tuesday. So it would have to be released today or tomorrow.

Does "abusing" surveillance powers mean law enforcement officials broke the law? It sure sounds like it. If that is the case, why haven't they already been arrested? Hard to imagine Trump and Sessions wouldn't aggressively go after people who broke the law while surveilling the Trump campaign and/or administration. Only logical conclussion is that the memo makes nothing but unsubstantiated and outrageous claims.

I read something the other day (I forget where) that Trump was going to lead the charge on making sure those that should be cuffed also get fired and not sent to HR. His lawyers slowed his roll because these same people will testify against him in the honest Bob SC. So let them hang themselves.

I think this is nuts but the entire thing is way out of hand nuts.

It's the HIC's memo. Once released there probably will be heads rolling and roaches scurrying.

Sure. Even though you have absolute proof of corruption in the DOJ and specifically the FBI, the best move is to announce that you that info but then sit on it and do nothing. I mean known criminals will just go about their business and wait for you to release it. Nothing to worry about.

In the alternate universe you live in, Obama would be in collusion with Lynch. Trump is supposed to be the great swamp drainer.

This is an absolute bombshell. It will rock the foundations of the Republic. People will hang.


We're taking a quorum to decide if we should take a vote in order to consider looking into a limited, redacted version of a release at a later, appropriate date to be announced upon agreement of parties pursuant to the appropriate rules and regulations.

To build maximum exposure and effect Trump should announce on Tuesday during his SOTU speech that the memo will be released on Thursday at high noon.

He should also request all Americas watch the 1952 movie High Noon so we all know the showdown between the Good, The Bad and The Ugly is imminent

And according to one of our resident assholes the people pushing for the release are "GOP Backbenchers".

The House Majority Leader is a "backbencher".



Nothing to see here, why are there leftists sputtering in this thread about lowly " backbenchers"?
