LETTER TEXT

The Honorable Devin Nunes

Chairman

Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence

HVC-304, The Capitol

Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Chairman Nunes:

Thank you for your hard work as Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), and for making the recent four-page memo from HPSCI available to Members of Congress. After reading the document, we were shocked and frustrated, but it has deepened our belief in the vital importance of transparency.

This important memo will be of interest to anyone who cares about America and our democratic system of government. We are writing to request the immediate release of this document to the public, as well as any relevant ancillary information. The audience of this document should not be limited to Members of Congress — the American people deserve to know the information it contains.

Thank you for your service and for your prompt attention to this request.

Sincerely,

Matt Gaetz

Member of Congress

If you believe Q is not a fraud then it is said that the release is coming and that final clearance is underway. Oh also he says as a joke to learn to speak Russian. If you don’t believe then that’s Ok too.

“Schiff on FISA memo: The documents that supposedly inform these talking points are highly classified. And they will not be made public, making it impossible for the few Members who have seen the documents to explain the flaws and misstatements contained within the talking points”

Okay, Schiff, let’s release the whole enchilada - all the highly classified documents. Then you won’t have anything to hide behind.

Twitter report that there is a Dem leadership meeting going on in Pelosi’s office. Run, roh.

My guess is that Trump will toss the issue to the whole House. Make Rats go on record voting against the public’s right to know. Also, makes it difficult for the DBM to pin all the blame on Trump.

The Dossier, the FISA warrant, the snopping and the unmasking are not covered by the Horowitz review.

My understanding is that the white hats in the intelligence agencies (NSA & MI - no CIA) have been spoon feeding this info (and much much more)to Trump for over a year. The have seen enough and have had enough. Trump and the good guys have everything. This is all planned and there is nothing that will stop it.

The old rules will not apply. We will see the Dems (and many Repubs) brought down and the Media brought down - the entire power structure, Soros et al.

There will be no deals and the untouchables will be imprisoned.

Even if they release “it”, we’ll NEVER know what is in it. There is no rule of law, transparency or truth left in this government for the past nine years. Or longer.

I’m thinking the same thing.

At least the @234 GOP Reps.

Where are the rest of the GOP Reps?

Maybe Trey Gowdy was busy somewhere else and just hasn’t had the chance to sign it yet. I’ve noticed the number of signers has gone up throughout the day.

There is no question. There is no delay. We want the truth of what that government did in violation of the constitution and we want quick and sure punishment.

I don’t know how you know all this.....but it would be a dream come true for many true patriots. The real bombshell in the FISA memo would be evidence or an admission that the Obama administration spied on Chief Justice Roberts to influence his Obamacare decision. It has long been suspected that he was blackmailed potentially over the adoption of his children... could you imagine if there is evidence that the Obama administration blackmailed a Supreme Court justice?

Agreed, it needs / must be released but won’t happen. Too many people have too much to lose, including current and past WH administration’s, both houses of Congress, both R and D’s, career bureaucrats, lobbyists, contractors and companies like Google. They were all complicit/involved and are all culpable. I just don’t see it happening. They will move heaven and Earth to keep it hidden.
