The Repubs. all voted down a motion to have the FBI brief them on why the memo shouldn't be released.

I think we need to see the memo....if you are right, Trump and the Republicans are toast....right?

Jim you need to ask your self why are the republicans conducting these investigations.. and why now... and not while Obama was in office if this was such a concern "FBI officials acting out of political ideology"

No one can come close to knowing for sure what the truth is, based on currently available facts. Let's find out the truth and react appropriately.


Nothing in the Nunes memo deals with facts.. its a memo.. Republicans love to make claims of wrong doing or conspiracies then sell them as truth

So what Nunes has done is discredited or attempt to dis credit the FBI and the Justice Dept.. with a Memo . Trump supporters believe anything facts have never mattered ..

and here is the Rub WHO IS LEFT STANDING TO INVESTAGATE THESE ABUSE OF POWERS NUNES CLAIM TO HAVE HAPPENED?? IN HIS 4 PAGE MEMO.. THEIR ARE NO AGENCIES LEFT NO CIA ,JUSTICE DEPT OR FBI THAT TRUMP AND HIS ACCOMPLICES HAVEN'T TARRED AND FEATHERED.. TRUMP HAS BEEN PLANTING THE SEED OF DOUBT IN OUR GOVERMENT AGENCIES FROM 1 ST DAY OF HIS CANDIDACY .. A BLOODLESS COUP D'ETAT

this is not a factual statement...

"So no FBI agent's spouse should run for office"

No...But said agent should recuse himself if there is an appearance of a conflict

"Jim you need to ask your self why are the republicans conducting these investigations.. and why now"

For the same reason that the media sat on Trump's Access Hollywood tape until they thought it would do the most damage...politics. The fact that the motive is political, doesn't mean the democrats didn't do anything. Same reason why the left is calling for an investigation between Trump and Russia...political damage

"Nothing in the Nunes memo deals with facts.. its a memo"

Not sure if you know what a "memo" is, but a memo can have elements of fact contained in it.

"So what Nunes has done is discredited or attempt to dis credit the FBI and the Justice Dept.. with a Memo "

If the memo were to show (and I am purely speculating) that the FBI knowingly relied on false information to get the FISA warrant, than the memo would indeed discredit the FBI and Nunes would be vindicated. True or false? And if that false information was paid for by the Clinton campaign, well that's a scandal. That's what some are alleging. I have no idea whether or not it's true, and neither do you.

exactly. Am I supposed to believe that the reason the democrats oppose the release of the memo, is that they know there's nothing there, and they don't want the republicans to embarrass themselves.

Fair enough. I think he did recuse himself shortly bf the election. I don't know how long he worked on the email thing.

Believe me, I don't know any of the actual facts either. Foxnews broadcasts one extreme, CNN broadcasts the other. Would be nice if we knew the actual truth, and gave the boot to whoever is lying, wouldn't it?

fixed it

Jim, just to be sure you get it...the most serious opposition to the memo is coming from lifelong Republicans.

You can say that again.

Just take Russian lessons, when Trump finishes you will need them.
The things that have disappeared from the media
Ukraine
Russian meddling in elections
meanwhile we are trying to convince everyone that the FBI is full of either Democrats or Deep State agents

My understanding is that the DOJ has still done absolutely nothing to investigate further or take actions to inhibit Russian election interference.

the memos out and no evidence presented just more of the same conspiracies and innuendo

text messages, The Steele dossier, and new target in The Nunes memo Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein

from an article
this somehow proves that the investigation into the Trump campaign’s Russia ties is entirely based on support for Clinton within the FBI and anti-Trump animus.


the memo’s claims are impossible to evaluate without seeing the underlying intelligence it was based on.

so where is the evidence

maybe nunes should look at this time linehttp://billmoyers.com/story/trump-russia-timeline/

from hero to zero in the republican party Sen. McCain on the Nunes Memo


“The latest attacks against the FBI and Department of Justice serve no American interests ― no party’s, no President’s, only Putin’s,” McCain added. “The American people deserve to know all the facts surrounding Russia’s ongoing efforts to subvert our democracy, which is why Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation must proceed unimpeded. Our nation’s elected officials, including the president, must stop looking at this investigation through the lens of politics and manufacturing political sideshows. If we continue to undermine our own rule of law, we are doing Putin’s job for him.”

Now that the truth is out, we must demand that justice be done. If we could rely on our politicians, there would already be indictments.

*Drop the Mueller investigation immediately
*Investigate Obama, Lynch and Comey
*Investigate Hillary and her campaign
*Investigate all Never Trumpers in congress who aided this effort
*Investigate all FBI and DOJ holdovers from the Obama administration
*Investigate media collusion in support of this fraud

And for God's sake, immediately cease and desist all references to Russian collusion! And leave President Trump to his work, fighting for the American people!

from Trump base ... cult of personality

mccain didn’t say whyvthe attacks are baseless I noticed.

sure has the whacky left in a tizzy...

must stop looking at this investigation through the lens of politics and manufacturing political sideshows. If we continue to undermine our own rule of law,

seems clear to me

isn't it funny how McCain is a demented old fool when he disagrees with democrats or runs for president but he's a brilliant and esteemed statesman when he says something that the think helps their cause

some fact checking :btu:

you are adorable

Comey, Muller and Rosenstein all Republicans all apointed by Trump and confirmed by Republicans

But are now enemy #1 (of the law and order party) because they are following the evidence and the Law... we're ever it leads them amazing

What's so amazing?

Trump took credit for the bull market during his first year, I wonder if he will take credit for what appears to be a long overdue correction in the market these past few days, which most thought was soon to come.

I sure did enjoy the run, but even the great and powerful OZ (Trump) can't stop what's happening now, but he probably will blame someone else for it.

Not sure what he has to deflect blame for, tor what he should be trying to stop...the market is still up a lot on his watch.

Inflation has nowhere to go but up, interest rates have nowhere to go but up.

If the market keeps doing what it did today he will have much to answer for, nothing unfair about that. I heard the selloff was based on fear that they'd raise interest rates to head off inflation, and that inflation fears were stoked by a strong jobs/earnings report.

It's funny, you'd think a strong jobs/earnings report would be favorable to the market, which makes it a good thing I'm not a financial advisor.

As the tax cuts are realized, you have to think consumer spending will increase, could make inflation fears more legitimate.

You are aware the market had its worst day ever today right? Down almost 5%.

Looks like the influx of stimulus from the tax plan was the worst thing possible considering the state of the economy.
