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.

Ah, so the FISA judges failed to scrutinize the information contained in the requests! So it was the secret court’s fault.

One the one hand I heard the Memo named Names. On the other hand I heard that the memo does not name names. So I guess I have to wait and see.

Rosenstein has been at Justice through this whole corrupt cluster. He had years to clean up the mess and choose to bury the truth. The President must release the memo. Trump is the disrupter. He knows that change comes through challenging the status quo. He is the best chance in a lifetime, maybe the last chance, to stop the decay that has over taken our country. Admiral Rogers started the wave. Devin Nunes is giving it momentum. IG Horowitz needs to push it to its crest.

Keep it secret is just the CYA mode in high gear in the DOJ, FBI and Democrat party. Trump may well get an offer he can’t refuse. We’ll see what kind of metal he’s made of.

It appears the FBI has become an enemy of the People. I never liked them too much anyway.

No way. Zip. Zero. Nada. The guilty are trying to evade the light of day like cockroaches scurrying away from the daylight.

If Trump wants to begin the process of fixing what is broken, he will
have to release the memo. If he wants to stop the Deep State from
undermining his Presidency, he will have to release the memo.
If he wants people to pay for criminal activity, he will have to release
the memo. And if he wants to expose all the lies MSM has repeated
over and over again, he will have to release the memo.

The release of the memo will set all of this in motion.
The forces of evil were all aligned against Trump.
But the worm is about to turn big time.
Trump has the instrument to unleash hell back in his hands.
And it will soon be unleashed.

I cannot think of any other person who could have stood
the onslaught he has taken and not be driven out of office.

The Deep State and his enemies now know this.
Trump and the Patriots behind him will soon begin
to rout these forces of evil.

“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.”

Does it matter? It was still suspect and from a foreign agent.

It was bought and paid for political opposition research. Based on that alone it is circular file material.

Odd how the swamp leakers are suddenly concerned about the release of supposedly classified info. Hillarys shenanigans they cover up, they seek to manipulate truth and half-truths, they seek to destroy a Presidency.

And not one wit of a concern—and now it is? I hope all that swamp gas self combusts soon.

I’ll be surprised if it’s released to be honest.

I always respected and was in awe of the FBI.

It’s like finding out there is no Santa Claus.

(I hope I haven’t destroyed anyone in stating that there is no Santa Claus, but I was only kidding.)

Criminals in the DOJ don’t want to be outed.
