""We run the risk of exposing some sensitive sources and methods,""

Yep, methods to take down an anti-Swamper.

When the sources are traitors in federal law enforcement, and the methods include seditious conspiracy, I’m okay with revealing those sources and methods.


https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2384
18 U.S. Code SS 2384 - Seditious conspiracy

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.


Overturning a free and fair election that has been conducted in the states, signed and certified by the Electoral College, and counted by the US Senate, is a serious felony. The people have a right to know not only that FBI agents and other government officials engaged in that form of treason, but the precise details. I am completely comfortable with releasing everything.

Add Thune. Have not heard from Graham - probably won’t until McCain tells him what to do.
Reliable democratic (er, GROPelite) Senators.

Of course they have much to hide.

That make the leap to “Russia memo” because they know the FISA abuses revealed will go right to the heart of the fake Russian investigation. A Freudian slip, if you will.

And D1 is uneasy with many of the Republicans swimming in the swamp, with a Leftist anchor affixed to their leg.

I think that some think the biggest fallout would be if the agencies were compelled to prosecute members of the previous administration establishing or expanding a new area in U.S politics.

Only Republicans against (have ‘considerations’ about) releasing memo - Dent, Flake and Shuster are all leaving Congress.

Dec 24, 2017 - President Trump was “a factor” in centrist Republican Rep. Charlie Dent’s (R-PA) decision to retire from Congress when his term ends next year.

Shuster, also R-PA, has generally supported Trump (98.5%).

Flake... uh....

You can always count on spineless lackeys from the Repubs to crawl out of their holes.

I might be wrong, but this is the four-page bullet list of talking points. It is not the underlying supporting document. At the most we are naming people in the FBI and DOJ who deserve to be outed.

“”We run the risk of exposing some sensitive sources and methods,” Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pa., said on the sidelines of a Republican retreat at the Greenbrier, a historic resort nestled at the edge of the Allegheny Mountains here. “I read the memos, both of them (Republican and Democratic), and I would rather not release them.”

Suck it up, chicken shit. You think the dark side will play by Marquis of Queensbury rules??

My only reservation is that it better live up to the hype. I heard today that it contains 4 new revelations that have not already leaked. Funny how they only leak stuff that is embarrassing to Trump.

I’ll bet they are. I never thought that Dems were the only ones involved.

Hannity just remarked that the press went to the Supreme Court to get classified documents released to the public during Watergate scandal yet show no interest in this document being released - except to squash it!

I heard that their main objection is actually that it ids some FBI actors by name. There was an attempt to get the names stricken.

”We run the risk of exposing some sensitive sources and methods,”

Exposing the sources and methods used to conduct illegal and unconstitutional spying on private U.S. citizens is what congressional oversight is for!
