[FULL TITLE] ‘Worse Than Watergate’: ‘Shocking’ House Intel Memo Allegedly Reveals FISA Abuse by Senior DOJ and FBI Officials

Members of the House on Thursday said they viewed a “shocking” classified memo allegedly detailing abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) by senior Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigations officials in relation to the investigation of the Trump campaign and called for it to be declassified and available to the public immediately. “It’s troubling. It is shocking,” Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) told Fox News. “Part of me wishes that I didn’t read it because I don’t want to believe that those kinds of things could be happening in this country that I call home and love so much.”

“The facts contained in this memo are jaw-dropping and demand full transparency. There is no higher priority than the release of this information to preserve our democracy,” said Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), a member of the Judiciary Committee, which oversees the DOJ and the FBI.

Another Judiciary Committee member, Rep. Steve King (R-IA), called what he saw in the memo “sickening” and said it was “worse than Watergate.”

Steve King ✔ @SteveKingIA - I have read the memo. The sickening reality has set in. I no longer hold out hope there is an innocent explanation for the information the public has seen. I have long said it is worse than Watergate. It was #neverTrump & #alwaysHillary. #releasethememo 9:32 PM - Jan 18, 2018 · Washington, DC 3,534 3,534 Replies 26,388 26,388 Retweets 35,880 35,880 likes

You, my friend are absolutely correct! Information can, however, be classified to protect ongoing investigations - something they can fall back on.

And, as a reminder from none other than “Aunt Esther” (Maxine Waters) herself: “Well you know I don’t know and I think some people are missing something here. The President has put in place an organization that contains a kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That’s going to be very very powerful and whoever…and that database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They’re going to have to go down with that database and the concerns of those people are because they can’t get around it and he’s been very smart and it’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.”

Time for a very high-level and very public indictment...

Rep. Matt Gaetz: Our republic is in jeopardy if we allow this type of a palace coup environment to continue to persist and that’s why I’m one of the members of Congress who will be encouraging today Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes to release the memo. We can have a vote in the Intelligence Committee, a vote in the full House of Representatives. And this is a matter of such importance that I think we need to do it immediately… If we get this memo into the public square heads are going to roll at the FBI and the Department of Justice… What I’m worried about is that the cast of characters in the memo are not a group of people that are gone. Many of these people are still in our government. They still wield influence… It’s easy to see after reading this memo why Senator Grassley and why Senator Graham wanted to refer this matter for criminal prosecution. Laws were broken… I have every confidence after speaking to Paul Ryan and Devin Nunes that after we go through the right procedures and provide notifications to the executive branch that we will release this memo…

Rep. Gaetz: Memo Will Be Released Soon - Heads Will Roll in DOJ and FBI

Watergate is a nothingburger compared to what the democrat presidents have done, especially the last two.

Americans...you will soon witness the dirty hands of Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, the FBI leadership, etc. All of them “avid Haters” of the free American Republic.

______________

Here is praying that you are correct.

Donald Trump Jr.: If all of these guys are saying people’s heads are gonna roll, people are going to get fired and people are actually going to go to jail, I think the American people deserve to know… It’s the double standard the American people are being fed by the Democrats in total complicity with the media. That’s why neither have any trust from the American people anymore… Look, what I’ve seen and what I’ve learned over the past few months is bordering on disgusting. So there would be little doubt in my mind that it be possible. But this isn’t the America that I thought would happen. This is the stuff you read about from banana republics.

I was listening to Hugh Hewitt this morning, and he sounded very uncomfortable if not sad talking about this news. He said “I don’t want to be the first one to make accusations of illegal wiretapping. “And then he moved on to the next topic.

Regarding what Maxine Waters said, I bet, when all in said and done, and it might take years to pin it down. . I bet we find out Obama weaponized the IC, FBI and Justice Departments From Day One, January 20, 2009. Now that will be grounds for prosecution.

If they can search the emails, the FISA requests, from whom, how often, WH logs, search the PDBs, from his first day in office, etc. Lots of ways to peel the onion.

Worse than watergate is understatement of the last two years. Problem is, the corrupt lawyer network is going to prevent any sort of retribution.

And all the MSM will talk about is the shutdown and how they can blame Trump for it.

Wolfie,

At this point, it is really up to Sessions to step out of the fog and get a grip. In his own words he declared initially that he is still in command and will take over if he sees anything not legally correct.

If this doesn't qualify, then nothing does. This memo is a stink bomb the size of Chicago. Sessions is AG. The memo, of which he is fully aware, sheds the light - it is Sessions Constitutional duty to take action and preserve our republic. To do otherwise is gross malfeasance of his primary oath of office.
