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

"The FBI" isn't liberal. There might be a few bad apples who had their thumbs on the scale for Hilary. There has been no indication that anyone did anything wrong, no secret society.Maybe, maybe not.

The left wouldn't be going berserk trying to block the release of the memo, if there was nothing there. If the memo is a Spence nothingburger, it will get spun as such on every network except one, and the GOP will look stupid.Trump will use it to get rid of Rosenstien even if everything in it isn't true.

The right would not have blocked the Democrat response if there wasn't anything there they didn't want us to see. The response was written by Schiff - who read the intel. and they won't release it yet are releasing the Nunes memo even though he didn't read the intel.

Who the heck knows what the truth is. Dirty stuff on all sides.

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

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.

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

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

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?
