Once again a very reasoned analysis of the memo, the timeline and reactions by the deep state and MSM.
Enjoy
Grab some popcorn and watch as the various fake news and commie mouthpieces try and spin their way out of pure, unadulterated corruption.
Excellent analysis as usual from Andrew McCarthy, thanks for posting this. The key paragraph:
“The summary memo was written because the FBI and Justice Department objected to disclosure of the underlying classified information. Now, the FBI’s objection is that the memo is not as complete as the underlying information. Either way, the point is to avoid public scrutiny.”
I am among those who believe Director Wray is a White Hat, and if that’s true, it is understandable that he would prefer to handle his own department his own way, rather than be under the gun because of a summary memo that is based on a mountain of classified information that he does not want disclosed.
The point is, knowing what little we do at this point, it’s impossible to know with any certainty what individual motives are. For example, the fact that Andrew McCabe was dismissed the day after Wray read the memo means nothing without proof that there is a connection. Causation is not the same as coincidence. Just as having objections about releasing the memo imply bad motives or a hidden agenda, it may just mean that a professional who has spent a career maintaining the confidentiality of investigations wants to continue to do that in this case.
Either way, we will hopefully soon have more information on which to speculate.
Thanks for the excellent post.
I just found it searching for a reliable statement about the impending release of the memo. Checked here expecting it not to be posted yet but here it was.
This one should not be ignored.
I originally found the statement on a less reliable source and refused to be satisfied with that.
The memo has obviously become a negotiating item; final edition depend on what the RATS will fork over.
Answer me this. Democrats faced with a 100% degree of certainty that the memo will be released are acting to stop it and rain retribution on anybody and anyone involved in the release — Why?
I don’t accept the answer that’s that damning on the Democrats. There’s something more to this. Are they hyping it up so that it’s a big nothing?
Simple tactic, Muddy The Waters.
Lie, make counter claims, accuse,deny,etc.
Deep State/Dems doing a great job making a ton of noise dutifully repeated by the neo-marxist dominant media.
GOP better release ALL the Intel that the Memo refers to or else the counter claims of the Deep State/Dems/Dominant media will be victorious .
Watch Lou Dobbs interview with Chris Farrell (Judicial Watch - Director of Research and Investigation) last night. Chris is usually fairly laid back, but he’s about as ‘on fire’ as I’ve seen him re: FBI. He said that what is going on at headquarters is also being done in the field offices and he can name one specifically - El Paso. He said he’s personally reported them to the OIG for investigation due to abuses of wiretapping, mail cover, surveillance, etc. He also is adamant that what the FBI is doing over this memo is threatening the President. Lou interview of Farrell starts around 12:09

Chin the moon and do it RIGHT!
Ride high and cut a rusty
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
All along, the committee has been pushing for disclosure. The summary memo was written because the FBI and Justice Department objected to disclosure of the underlying classified information. Now, the FBI’s objection is that the memo is not as complete as the underlying information. Either way, the point is to avoid public scrutiny.
The sheep said, “but I’m drinking down stream from you.”
Whereupon the wolf said, “I’m going to kill you and eat you anyway.”
