[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

Completely agree. Druck Fudge.
Timing is everything. Trump’s State of the Union address will take place on Tuesday, January 30th (10 days from now). Trump can beat up the dems a while over the shutdown before then.
The ideal time for the memo release may be the middle of next week so that people get a chance to fully understand it, but not so long a time that it isn’t still at the forefront of their thoughts. Then, hopefully, during his State of the Union speech, Trump can fully bring to light the extent and depth of the abuses and crimes committed against the American people by aka obama, Hillary and their minions and puppet masters.
Trump, the master showman, should fully leverage the outrage of the American people when at its peak and do so in a setting and forum that even the MSN cannot bury. He has the bad guys by the short hairs.
No doubt. We have mass stupidity trying to out fox a master strategist.
The current FISA situation is a FULL ON EFFORT to COMPROMISE a CANDIDATE, an ELECTION, and America's future by manipulating existing circumstances.
Kind of like the difference between 'breaking & entering" and "attempted assassination."
I'm wondering if he and Jeff Sessions are taking naps together.
