Secret House memo: Shocking facts or misleading hype?


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/secret-house-memo-shocking-facts-or-misleading-hype/ar-AAv89VQ?li=BBnb7Kz

WASHINGTON — A secret memo written by Republicans from the House Intelligence Committee either reveals "shocking" spying abuses by the FBI and Justice Department, or it's just a Republican-created distraction away from the ongoing Russia investigation, just as the probe moves closer to President Trump.

House Republicans are pressing for the memo's public release and are joining a "#ReleaseTheMemo" campaign on social media that Democrats say is being promoted by the Russian government to discredit the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign. The Democrats cited reports by the German Marshall Fund’s Alliance for Securing Democracy that researchers couldn't recall the last time an issue had been promoted so much by Russian bots and trolls .

The uproar underscores once again the deep partisan divide among House Intelligence Committee members, whose investigation of possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia has been marred by infighting.

FBI and Department of Justice officials have complained that they have not been able to view the memo, and Democrats say the document is a misleading attempt by Nunes and other Republicans to cast doubt on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, possible collusion by the Trump campaign with Russia, and possible obstruction of justice by Trump.

Mueller, a former FBI director, was appointed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in May to conduct the investigation.

Mueller's probe has so far resulted in guilty pleas by former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and former campaign aide George Papadopoulos on charges of lying to the FBI. Former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his associate, Rick Gates, were charged in October with conspiracy, money laundering and acting as unregistered foreign agents. Both men pleaded not guilty.

Mueller is now reportedly seeking to interview Trump.

On Wednesday, Schiff said Democrats on the committee have prepared their own memo and want it released publicly if Republicans release theirs.

"Regrettably, it has been necessary for committee Democrats to draft our own memorandum, setting out the relevant facts and exposing the misleading character of the Republicans’ document so that members of the House are not left with an erroneous impression of the dedicated professionals at the FBI and DOJ," Schiff said.

At a committee meeting on Monday, Democrats will make a motion to allow their memo to be made available to any House members who want to come to the panel's secure room to read it, Schiff said. If Republicans vote to release the GOP memo publicly, Democrats will demand that theirs be released too.

"The Russians, who are pushing the campaign to declassify this information through its social media bots and trolls, will no doubt be thrilled," Schiff said. "We would strongly urge against this course, but would have to insist that our memorandum be likewise made public so that the entire nation is not then misled."


So, the short answer is that the gop's "secret memo" is a mere diversion from the real issues now at hand which are Trump and Co's collusion with the Russian government during the last election cycle to the detriment of American voters and American laws, money laundering, financial malfeaseance including requisite quid pro quos and other assorted high crimes and misdomeanors starting with purgary and likely including high treason at the highest level of our current government. Do Americans believe in Justice anymore, or not? Nunes' little olde memo is the original nothing burger and so if the damn gop wants to make a big deal about it then the gop must allow the other side of the story to be told and the gop damn sure does not want that to happen. Again, please not the part highlighed in black above and be aware of what is going on. Take notes. Save pages. There will be an accounting one day of who was on whose side during this our nation's latest electoral and constitutional crisis...

What in the world is a "momo"?

I don't think we should believe all the hype, deflection, distraction, and lies emanating from the Democrats. The American people have the right to know the truth about any irregularities and illegalities in the investigative process, and therefore the memo should be released. So far, there has been more than enough information released to warrant a full investigation into the Obama administration's possible illegal use of the DOJ and FBI for purely political purposes.

Not according to the article you seeded, it says:

On Wednesday, Schiff said Democrats on the committee have prepared their own memo and want it released publicly if Republicans release theirs.

"Regrettably, it has been necessary for committee Democrats to draft our own memorandum, setting out the relevant facts and exposing the misleading character of the Republicans’ document so that members of the House are not left with an erroneous impression of the dedicated professionals at the FBI and DOJ," Schiff said.

"We would strongly urge against this course, but would have to insist that our memorandum be likewise made public so that the entire nation is not then misled."

Sounds more like the (D)'s would insist their memo (not that they want to release everything) be made public IF (R)'s are to release their memo...

I find it interesting that Russian bots and trolls seemingly are being blamed for everything going wrong in the world today... those damn'd phony accounts that most everyone with a couple active brain cells can see are prob not legit just by the ridiculous screen names. (I do not personally use social media - yet I have had friends send me screen grabs of these accounts, and their posts - wowza)

Collusion seems to be taking on a new meaning with every article written - all I am interested in, is an semblance of truth from our current or former elected officials.  Former President Obama ignored a threat to the 2016 election - he should be held accountable for enabling the 'assault' on the election .. the excuse of 'he was afraid to be accused of meddling in the election' is BS when the supposed security of the Nations election process is being threatened!  He was the President of the United States of America and it makes NO sense that he waited until after the election to address the 'threat' to the election -- or was the 'threat' only considered a 'threat' after H lost ... sadly that is what it looks like to the untrained  eye!  The trained eye of the alphabet security agencies seemingly did not think the threat was that serious either..

Now there is a Russian troll (or a Putin) under every bed or hiding in the closet of the #resist Trump crowd!

OHHHHHHH..... only if they can put out their own memo.

That is correct. The Democrats don't want only the gop's partisan memo released unless the FBI's response and the Democrats own memos and evidence are also realeased to the public. Again, I say release all the reports and not just what the gop wants out there. It is all going to come out in the wash anyway. So, why is the gop stalling and trying to divert the public's focus from the real matters at hand with the gop which holds all of the reigns of power. It is pretty obvious what is going on and one sided is not the way to go...

Had Obama said or done anything the cons would have whined that he was trying to influence the election. But since he decided not to say anything, the right is bitching about that. Remember who kicked the russian diplomats out of the country? Wasnt trump. And speaking of that...when is trump going to get around to imposing those sanctions against russia that congress passed months ago? Meh, golf is more important than putting sanctions on a countfy that attacked us.

What we are going to do is let the American people judge. As far as this fictitious story about "Russian bots" circulated by Adam Schiff & Dianne Feinsteine, who are two of the most partisan members of Congress, it was totally expected. They came out with this DISTRACTION as soon as they heard Hannity telling people to call their representatives to release the document. There has to be something there that frightens them. That report should be released before there is an interview by Mueller of the President.

If the memo is all that ridiculous then Schiff should be pushing to declassify the underlying documents to the maximum extent possible. But he’s not and that is telling. What is also telling is that nothing about the memo has leaked. Which it would have if it wasn’t serious.

If there is anyone working at the behest of the Russians it is Schiff and the rest of the people pushing this ludicrous “collusion” narrative. As Chuck Grassley said earlier today this whole farce is based on information provided by current and former Russian intelligence officers and flogged by a company with deep ties to the Kremlin…that would be Fusion GPS.

schiff thinks democrats are idiots who can be endlessly distracted with talks of Russians and bots. For that I guess, we can't blame him.  It works. But to the rational mind, schiff's sideshow about bots just looks pathetic. The memo will stand and fall on it own, discredited theories about who is promoting it on twitter won't have any impact on its credibility.

If you read the article and were not just repeating the gop's hype you would know that Schiff wants the gop's memo released but only if the FBI's response and the Democrat's also classified memo are released simultaneously. He has offered to let the gop look at Nune's memo, the FBI's response and the Democrats own memo regarding the same information which is being falsely flogged by the gop and which is only a small part of the whole truth. If you are uninformed about the article at hand then do not comment...

You don't seem to have any clue what this is about. The memos are simply be summaries of evidence. In order to evaluate the veracity of the memos, the underlying information needs to be released. Schiff should be asking for the evidence to disprove Nunes' memo to be made public, not to provide an unverifiable summary of his own.   The Republican want the actual evidence published.

You shouldn't seed articles about topics upon which you are uninformed.

The left is definitely on defense. The old let's use the media to convict someone in the court of public opinion isn't working this time. In fact, it is backfiring miserably for the Dems. Any evidence Mueller tries to put forward showing collusion or any other action by Trump is already tainted by the actions of members of his team.

Regardless of how the investigation concludes, there is always going to be a cloud over the President's head and a deeper distrust of Congress. The question of what is true and what is false will never be answered. The Mueller Investigation will be used as a distraction and a diversion politicians and trolls on the internet for years.

They support Trump and that is a fact. It is an odd day in America when the gop is in bed with the Russians opposed to full transparency and against the whole truth ever getting out.

Does a public showing of support by the Russians actually show support for President Trump?

It has been ingrained in us that Russia is the bogeyman who for years have worked at undermining our government, reducing our economic influence and keeping us divided. It would make much more sense to support the Democrats if they truly supported Trump. Anything the Russians support brings an automatic cloud of suspicion, distrust and divisiveness. Exactly the way the Russians like it.  If Hilary had been elected, the same thing would be being done to her.

Democratic collusion is just as possible as Republican. I am still haunted by what Obama thought were "mike off" comments suggesting he could do more for Russia when he didn't have an election to win.

You seem to unaware that Nunes and his fellow thugs-and-slugs on the committee have completely shut the Dems out of any of this process.  That's why the latter are putting together their own memo and will release it.  Nunes has been trying to derail a proper and honest investigation into The Shitbag® from the beginning.

If Republicans had this current situation in reverse, with multiple guilty please and indictments and an ongoing investigation into Hillary or the Democrats they would be on cloud 9. They would be proclaiming justice was finally being done and the guilt was obvious. But because it's against their party they downplay, disparage and deflect trying to put the best spin possible on it. The same goes for Trumps own words admitting he sexually assaults women, if it were Bill Clinton caught on tape saying "I don't even wait, I just start kissing" "grab them by the pussy", they would be replaying it every day on every right wing media source as proof of his guilt.

It was not clear how much Mueller would ask about questions of collusion with Russians regarding the 2016 presidential campaign.

The lawyer-to-lawyer discussions about Trump's possible testimony are informal and Mueller is not obligated to accept the terms presented by the President's team. If negotiations break down, Mueller could seek a subpoena to compel wide-ranging testimony from the President before a grand jury.

Do you think Mueller is really that shady or stupid?  The remedy for Trump is impeachment, a political process. Do you think lying to the President about which topics will be covered during an interview to try and trick him is politically smart or conducive to getting Republicans to turn against Trump?

If Mueller has an ounce of integrity, he will stick to his agreement and be very upfront with Trump about he will cover. That's how an honest, unbiased prosecutor confident in his evidence would approach the interview. Not like a weasel, relying on lies.   

Moreover, Trump doesn't have to testify to anything. Mueller can't force him to testify  without a shit load of litigation on a question that could create a constitutional crises. .

Peter Strzok, the deputy assistant director of counterintelligence, told fellow FBI agent Lisa Page in texts that he had been asked to be part of Mueller's team but he wasn't sure he'd accept the invitation.

'You and I both know the odds are nothing. If I thought it was likely, I'd be there no question. I hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern, there's no big "there" there,' he told her in May 19 a message the FBI turned over to Congress.

Except Trump Haters......

Basically, it is Hillary supporters who never got over her losing to Obama in 2012 because she is one of the most untrustworthy political candidates in decades.

It required Clinton and DNC collusion to even secure Clinton the nomination in 2016 with Clinton running against basically no Democrats for the nomination.

Clinton's poll numbers are lower than Trump's poll numbers in June 2017.  

The continual hysterical claim that Russia propaganda was more damaging to Clinton than over 3 decades of Clinton's own words and actions is ludicrous.  

What Russian propaganda is being cited?  Leaked emails in the summer of 2016?  A google search will reveal that the Sanders campaign had told the media in early 2016 that the DNC was working with the Clinton campaign to undermine the Sanders' campaign.  So to claim that people did not know that the DNC and Clinton were colluding to appoint Clinton as candidate prior to the email reveal is ridiculous. 

However, the Clinton supporters have been seething since 2008.  They do not seem capable of accepting the reality that Clinton will never be POTUS and will still be waiting for an investigation to prove that some unnamed Russian propaganda changed a few voters' minds in a handful of states.  If unchecked, this rage will continue to divide the Democratic party and cost Democrats elections.

A Bloomberg Politics  poll  released Tuesday showed Hillary Clinton with a 39% approval rating, 2 points lower than Trump's approval rating in the same poll. It was Clinton's second-lowest approval rating since Bloomberg started tracking her in 2009. 

And a significant portion of Clinton's own voters said they didn’t like her. More than 20% of Clinton voters Bloomberg polled said they had an unfavorable view of her.

Why bother with a primary if the establishment nominee has already been selected by the establishment?

I do believe the Democratic party is playing a very dangerous game here, but it is their decision to make.  Maybe, this is a test to see if elections even matter in the US since they are subject to overthrow based on how gullible or apathetic the US voter is.

We live in interesting times.

BTW, the Clinton campaign was spying on the Obama campaign in 2008, also....not to mention the various propaganda the Clinton campaign used against Obama.  Clinton's dirty tactics against Obama in 2008 may have cost her enough votes to lose the 2016 election despite running on the "I am better than Trump" platform.

What the staffers' intent in accessing the data was; whether the Clinton campaign engaged in similar activity during the 2008 campaign but was unsanctioned (as asserted in a suit filed by Sanders' campaign against the DNC); under precisely which circumstances the staffers accessed the information; the manner in which the proprietary software operated and the ease with which such data might be accessed deliberately or inadvertently.

To answer the question posed, a crock of shite as they say.

Something cherry picked and cobbled together by a proven nitwit (although that may be applied to anyone of elected nitwits I suppose). Nunes has already had His fifteen minutes, time to retire Him to the trash heap of History.

Our government has been turned into a daily episode of reality (if it can be deemed real) television. Secret Societies, Deep States, these fools would be better served (and us) by becoming science fiction writers.

The biggest issue facing America today, in the 'political' realm anyway, is the brainwashing of "conservatives" by right wing media.  Fact checkers ROUTINELY debunk the lies and misleading content of Fox News, Breitbart, Limbaugh, talk radio, etc, and yet every day we see the "conservatives" of Newstalkers come on here and regurgitate these same discredited talking points. 

Sometimes it is comical and sometimes it is scary that so many Americans have given their minds over to this deception and serious mischief. 

For example, Devin Nunes allowed himself to be compromised in his role as a congressional investigator by the Trump white house. He has no credibility left. Yet, right wing media is promoting this "memo" as some sort of breakthrough into truth, even though the source (Nunes) is totally contaminated. 

America is being gaslighted by the right wing media complex and the fools are falling for it.

Except it does because primaries are not bound by federal election rules. The parties could hand pick their candidate if they so chose. They are private entities that can put forward whatever candidate they want so all the behind the scenes party sausage making was perfectly legal which is why there haven't been any charges or indictments of Hillary's campaign team even with the Podesta emails being illegally stolen and leaked by friends of the Trump campaign.

Just like it didn't matter what the Watergate "plumbers" found in the DNC files they stole, the story is far more about the fact that they were stolen. In this case it was the Russians breaking into the DNC on behalf of the GOP and instead of it being a hotel room at the Watergate, it was in cyberspace. Personally I think it is a worse crime to have a foreign enemy do your dirty work, but I think at the end of the day the result will be the same when all the facts come out. It took over two years for the Nixon administration to come falling down. The Watergate break in was June of 1972, Nixon didn't resign till August of 1974. We're only 1 year into this investigation, I have no doubt it's going to really heat up over the next.

If it was all legal and ethical, why are Democrats so upset over the leaked emails exposing their ways?

It was perfectly legal, though some can debate whether it was ethical. The parties have always claimed to represent their members, but the reality is that the leadership determines a lot of things without them. However they want to project the idea that they are a true democracy, sadly this is far from the truth in either party. I have no doubt the RNC emails during the last election were just as contentious and had as much infighting and backstabbing as the DNC did behind the scenes. Unfortunately, the Russians chose not to release the hacked RNC emails because they were rooting for them and didn't want to expose the same sausage making that occurs in every political party. If anyone believes the RNC was any different they're way more gullible and ill-informed than I imagined.

If I remember, Obama and Congress started investigating this in August 2017, eventually discovering that the disinformation had been going on for two years;

Facebook and Twitter began admitting they had problems in September 2017, not enough time to undo whatever had been done.

"Mueller's probe has so far resulted in guilty pleas by former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and former campaign aide George Papadopoulos on charges of lying to the FBI. Former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his associate, Rick Gates, were charged in October with conspiracy, money laundering and acting as unregistered foreign agents. Both men pleaded not guilty."

That is a very misleading statement.  Manafort and Gates are facing charges based on events which took place in 2006 - long before they had anything to do with Trump or the Trump campaign. Flynn was perjury trapped over something that was legal. Papadopoulos was also perjury trapped based on boasts he made to a foreign government. Funny how biased rogue FBI agents allowed Lois Lerner and Hillary Clinton commit relevant perjury as well as the actual crimes they were accused of.

So don't tell us that Mueller has made any progress on the "collusion" investigation.

Vic and I go way back. He has always foolishly thought the whole truth counts. That makes us both fools. The best way to get "raked" is to bring partisan spin into a conversation we are both involved in. Doesn't matter if we agree on the topic or not.

Talk about misleading.  It may (or may not) be true that Mueller went all the way back to 2006 but it goes on right up to all their involvement with the Trump campaign.  Gates stayed on longer than Manafort right through the transition and was part of the inauguration (where the $107M raised for it is largely unaccounted adding yet another possible criminal act).  Gates was Manafort's partner in many deals involving Russia and they have separate and non-cooperating defense teams.  I know you'll enjoy this very recent item about Gates:

Rightwingers, trumpbots, putinbots:  do none of you remember (or maybe too young to know or care) how long it took the Watergate investigation to this point with two convictions and two solid indictments?  The Mueller probe is moving like a jet compared to a single engine prop plane in comparison.  And we got all the same type and level of attempts to corrupt the investigation (including firing the Special Prosecutor--oh, please, please "president" Shitbag®, try that one again) and just as ferociously nasty (and false) attempts to divert, derail and dismiss all the evidence from Nixon toadies.  And the thing that started that off was a "second-rate" burglary, not the hijacking of a presidential election.   You're in for a real come-to-Jesus moment  and you're not at all prepared.

Prepared for what? The end of the world? The fall of America? We, as you have so gleefully pointed out, have been around this block before. Life goes on, we will recover.

Nixon's actions were not done out of or in a treasonous fashion. The acts of collusion President Trump is being accused of can be nothing else. If true.

Nixon was an overly paranoid Establishment good old boy. There are no comparisons between Watergate and the current charges being made.

Indictments Convictions for Nixon on Watergate? None. It was an 18+ minutes of gap on a tape which probably had the proof needed to be able to impeach and or indict President Nixon, that caused his resignation and provided most of us, including myself, with a reasonable assumption of guilt. The Presidents own tapes, not somebody else's.
