op Justice Department officials made a last-ditch plea Monday to White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly about the dangers of publicly releasing a memo alleging abuses by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to people briefed on the meeting.

Shortly before the House Intelligence Committee voted to make the document public, Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein warned Kelly that the four-page memo prepared by House Republicans could jeopardize classified information and implored the president to reconsider his support for making it public, those people said. Rosenstein was joined in the meeting at the White House by FBI Director Christopher A. Wray.

Republican lawmakers have suggested that Steele provided bad information to the FBI, leading to a broader probe of Trump associates.

People familiar with the memo said it does not conclusively say whether Steele intentionally passed suspect information to the FBI or simply made a mistake.

Either way, the operation was tainted. The money trail was tainted. The McCain involvement was tainted. The FISA process was tainted. The unmasking wasn’t just innocent—Rice unmasked HUNDREDS according to Samantha Powers, who said the requests were made in her name, but not by her.

And, does the FBI have no common sense?

” ... could jeopardize classified information ..”

So now classified information is important to the DOJ and FBI? There seemed to be no concerns under the obama administration.

What are they trying to cover up?

“Top Justice Department officials made a last-ditch plea Monday to White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly about the dangers of publicly releasing a memo alleging abuses by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to people briefed on the meeting.”

Yeah, “the dangers” to your little pink a$$es. These people are pulling out all the stops to stay in power. Power to the People, we will know what to do when the truth comes out and it won’t be pretty for your MFers!

That is because Steele has not made himself available for an interview.

Rosenstein knows he is named in the memo.
And is afraid of being fired.

I hope he is fired and jailed.

Where the hell is Sessions?
The biggest scandal in history and he is AWOL from everything.

Devin Nunes stated emphatically that in the dozens of docs he read last March, none had anything to do with Russia. His 2 press conferences that day are on youtube. He was very sobered by the spying done on Americans by their government.

Let the facts speak for themselves.

“People familiar with the memo said it does not conclusively say whether Steele intentionally passed suspect information to the FBI or simply made a mistake.”

This is a case of the Washington Post dutifully reporting Adam Schiff’s Democrat memo which apparently will create the false narrative that the dossier was a simple mistake to try to limit the damage it will do to the dems and their deep state allies.

Rosenstein and not Sessions? This is just another example of Jeff Sessions doing nothing, and being recused.

Why a few don't take Sessions at his word and actions, I don't know.

False information and lies don’t really need to be classified.

Dobbs was playing a clip of Paul Ryan cautioning his party not to overplay their hand and praising Rosenstein.

Jerk!
