Executive Branch Now Has Custody of Intel Memo For Review Prior to Releaseā€¦
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | January 30, 2017 | Sundance

Posted on 01/30/2018 5:32:05 AM PST by COUNTrecount

The media narrative engineers are busy at work attempting to cloud the constitutional framework behind the accurate, lawful, sequence of steps surrounding the Nunes House Intel Memo. Don’t fall for the tricks.

The legislative branch has now voted in committee to declassify the House Intelligence Memo on FISA-702 abuse, and systemic fraudulent DOJ/FBI use therein. The memo has been sent to the executive branch for review and public release approval.

The White House has five days to review. Any DOJ or FBI officials who have a position against public release are now responsible to make their case known to the Office of the President who is in charge of them, and the executive branch.

Specifically because the Chief Executive (President ) granted permission for FBI Director Christopher Wray to see the intelligence memo prior to the House Intel vote; Director Wray and Asst. AG Rosenstein had an obligation to debrief the executive on their findings. That’s why Wray and Rosenstein were at the West Wing yesterday. However, the vote last evening transferred the declassification decision to the executive.

Likely the National Security Council, the Office of Legal Counsel, and all relevant Intelligence agency heads will have an opportunity to review and provide input prior to President Trump giving his final approval for declassification and making the document public. Tweet,.. not accidental:

Following the constitutional framework, POTUS now holds all the cards.

Anticipating the executive branch wanting the Tuesday and Wednesday’s media cycles to remain focused on the Presidential State of the Union address, don’t anticipate memo release prior to late Wednesday (earliest), or, more likely, Thursday.

The President may not say a lot about this in the SOTU but I don’t think he can skip it entirely.

Imagine:
State of the world? Great! Middle East! Davos! North Korea! MAGA!
State of the economy? Great! Unemployment! Taxes! Budget! MAGA!

And then ... maybe 2 days later? Oh by the way we have a Constitutional crisis because the whole government is hopelessly corrupt and run by terrorists who are above the law.

Trump should give his immediate approval and further should direct the government agencies holding the data, to immediately release the underlying data the memo was based on. Getting it all out.

And SINCE HE IS PRESIDENT, he should publicly direct Sessions to remove/replace anyone involved and ask that a special counsel be appointed to investigate everyone.

I’m looking for a few well-aimed, armour-piercing tweets from El Jefe Trump prior to the actual release of the “Wanted: Dead or Alive” memo. It is such a target-rich environment now. So many bullseyes...so little time.

Where are the TV vans?

It seems like this rigs would be posted outside of Obama’s Kalorama residence and along the dead-end lane in Chappiqua, NY.

Sarah said the release would be early next week.

Today, the news is about the SOU message and rising speculation of the info in the Memo

The word is crescendo........ the tune about the Memo is rising to a crescendo

The Memo tune is merely prelude to the coming symphony.

I would like to see it released before the SOTU address. SOTU addresses are stupid affairs anyways. This is bigger and more worthy of discussion and it will really put a damper on the the Democrat’s attempts to poo pooing all over his address speech. I don’t want to see them shiiting all over his address speech, I want to see them fighting for their political lives.

Get it out to the public as expeditiously as possible but keep Trump’s hands clean of releasing it, I smell another stupid trap they’ll be attempting to spring.

As one FReeper insightfully noted........

Trump has to land a VERY VERY BIG PUNCH before desperate Democrats make their move.

And.....many will continue to work in your government with their bloated salaries and pensions.

Punch is a poor metaphor.

What is building, what is coming, what will destroy, is a massive, overwhelming armoured assault supported by infantry, artillery, air and sea supremacy.

You must not wound the Queen. You must kill the queen.

Should be released early next week. Maybe on President Reagan’s birthday.

So far this has been handled strictly by the book. They have dotted every [i]and crossed every [t] and have left no room for a legitimate challenge.

Please, Mr. President, do not let it out of your hands!

I fear a thousand Sandy Bergers populate the Exeuctive Branch at this moment.

This particular SOTU will be the first opportunity for a lot of people to see and hear President Trump without the barriers of the MSM and other progressives misinterpreting his words.

So, in my opinion, the memo must remain in the on deck circle for a day of so, at least.

The “North Star”, IMHO, that we need to keep in sight through all this is the fact that the Trump campaign was illegally spied on at at least one of several junctures. The initial 702 “About Queries” which were illegal in themselves), the the fabrication of “evidence” created seemingly after illegal use of these queries to illegally obtain or attempt to obtain a FISC Warrant and continued spying on Trump’s campaign. If you ask me these seem to be the crimes from which all the other crimes emanate. The Hilary server is a separate issue tied in here only because it was the same perpetrators who covered for HIllary attempted to sabotage Trump. As in Watergate 1.0 the last question in the chain is “What did the president know and when did he know it”. Let us hope it takes 6 months of daily, televised hearing to ferret that last question out. Poor 0bama doesn’t even have the luxury of resigning so it will all go away.

The groundswell of support for this President to move ahead and get the Swamp drained has moved into another phase. One by one, bad actors are being revealed and put out.

Chairman Nunes is to be commended for his long game. Remember, it was his visit to a SCIF at the Whitehouse that got a lot of this rolling. Then the IG for the DOJ got into the act and gave his committee some concrete data. The summary memo allows thousands of hours of investigative work to be presented in a comprehensible manner.

Now that the Executive branch has the memo, they can follow those leads back into their own files from the prior administration. Those files exist because Nunes saw them.

Hillary said if Trump won they would all hang from nooses.
