“accusing the President of not being transparent”

And he’ll smash it with a tweet.

I’d rather be watching the cable news fall all aver themselves accusing the President of not being transparent than spend 4 years listening to them fawn all over PIAPS.

The Repubs didn’t win this election. Trump did. We lucked out, or at least we’ve gotten a reprieve.

President Trump should state that it has inaccuracies and falsehoods in the document and keep sending back to the dems for corrections. Over and Over and Over again.

Yep, lol. Have to wonder how they get any oxygen into their pea brains given their constant hysteria about something or another.

The Dims wrote their memo with the purpose of making sure Trump would have no choice but to not release it, because of the not redacted classified information they intentionally included in it.

While the GOP held back from releasing classified information or classified methods and sources, in their memo, in order to get out the general outlines of the issue, the Dims wanted their memo rejected, just so they could use the rejection for their political ends.

“I am disappointed. Can someone else release it?”

PDJT tweeted about it, this morning. The Dems loaded it with classified information which he’s refusing to release, so he’s sent it back to the Dems to write it, ‘properly.’

The Dems did that on purpose, of course! They just wanted to optics that PDJT was being an ‘obstructionist.’

They’ll never learn - he’s laughing right in their faces with his tweets this morning!

MAGA! :)

Reuters, of course, since they’ve already concluded that the Schiff Memo has rebutted the Nunes Memo. They must have seen it. Who leaked it to them?

Not the Rs, who like faggots always play by the rules.

Not hardly dp. The Rs HAVE to play by the rules in order to keep their jobs. When a D breaks the rules, the American people never find out about it. If an R breaks rules it is front page news non-stop until action is taken against that person.

Did they put info in the memo that they knew would preclude Trump from releasing it?

Probably those nude photos of Trump promised to Pencil Neck by those two Russian secret agents posing as commedians.

Certainly would be a prize to see a journalist and the leaky-Schiff hauled up on charges of unauthorized dissemination of classified information.

I thought that POTUS sent it back to HIC for changes and that he would consider the release after that.

I hope he simply ignores it, leaving the HIC to release it (a pocket veto of sorts). Then, the HIC is on the hook for any problems it brings.
