Whistleblowers, Republican congressional members, and some former intelligence officials cite mounting concern that the White House may not release the House Intelligence Committee’s FISA abuse memo as the FBI pushed against plans to make it public based on false allegations that the memo contains information that would harm U.S. national security, sources tell this reporter.
The memo alleges severe abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act by employees of the FBI and Department of Justice but FBI Director Christopher Wray Wednesday warned against the release of the memo issuing a public statement from the FBI that the bureau has “grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.”
The four-page memo is currently under review by the White House National Security Council, as well as with the Director of National Intelligence, according to U.S. officials familiar with the review process. One U.S. official said they were concerned the review is being “slow-rolled in an effort to get President Trump to change his mind about releasing the memo.”

Thou dust protest too much...
All they are doing is making it crystal clear there are bad players in the intelligence services.
As if that wasn’t crystal clear by now.
Will the Dem plan work
Sarah is going to be on Hannity tonight to talk about this according to her tweets.
I don’t know if I believe any of this. But I think that after all Trump has endured to get this far and what he has accomplished, I don’t think he is going to be intimidated by the alphabet agencies.
The CIA and FBI have become a clear and present danger to the Republic.
Are these the same “intelligence agencies” that are trying to otherthrow the POTUS?
If this memo is not released, then we might as well be a subsidiary of Venezuela.
This all feels like manufactured drama to me.
I await the indictments. There had better be some. The Citizens of this country will NEVER AGAIN trust their intelligence or law enforcement agencies if this criminality isn’t punished.
Everyone that screams about needs firing
Let us all take note that the memo has not leaked. Had it been something damaging to President Trump it would’ve leaked within 12 hours of being created. That speaks volumes about who is on the right side and who is on the wrong side.
If they were smart, they would just ignore it. Now everyone really really really wants to know what they say!
Press Releases: (Not a MSM release! A real press release!)
Nunes Statement on FBI, DOJ Objections to Release of HPSCI Memo!
Washington, January 31, 2018:
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes issued the following statement today:
“Having stonewalled Congress’ demands for information for nearly a year, it’s no surprise to see the FBI and DOJ issue spurious objections to allowing the American people to see information related to surveillance abuses at these agencies. The FBI is intimately familiar with ‘material omissions’ with respect to their presentations to both Congress and the courts, and they are welcome to make public, to the greatest extent possible, all the information they have on these abuses. Regardless, it’s clear that top officials used unverified information in a court document to fuel a counter-intelligence investigation during an American political campaign. Once the truth gets out, we can begin taking steps to ensure our intelligence agencies and courts are never misused like this again.”

I agree.
Protesting so much indicates that heads will roll at the top echelon of the FBI and the intelligence agencies. There is no national security involved. The only security involved is for the corrupt ones to keep their jobs.
NOW THIS…
The FBI sent 5 agents over to the White House this week to alter the House Intel FISA memo.
Lou Dobbs: Our chief correspondent at the White House, John Roberts, telling us that the new version of the memorandum has been altered in some ways by the White House review.
