He’s working for a place to be one of the next POTUS’s. He had BO as an example. He doesn’t have to be good at what he does, he just has to present well. Presenting well is different to them than it is to us.

Wrong, there is nothing unnatural about the President granting early acquiescence and releasing the memo within the 5 day period. Holding up editing or making pro forma changes is entirely within the prerogative of the President and the President only.

The intent of the law is that the committee votes to make it public, the President has the opportunity to review and approve or disprove within a 5 day period. If after 1 day he says okay, release, then it can be released. The 5 Days is like a pocket veto if he lets it expire without granting release. Then the whole house would vote on it to override. I don’t know if it’s a majority or some higher threshold.

What should be concerning is the crying going on about national security. There is nothing in that memo that deals with national security, its all about agency embarrassment and the implication of the previous administration.

Nobody, but for a very few want to initiate the custom of prosecuting the previous administration for misdeeds. That’s what this is all about.

True, I guess that’s his “Righteous Anger” persona. Gag.

No sense stepping on your, er, . . . good PR by releasing it too early. Let SOTU sink in for 24 hours.

Says the person who wants us to trust Mueller. But not trust Nunes or Trump, apparently.

Post 41 - Yup, through the Looking Glass. Alice in Wonderland. The opposite of what people are told is what is real.

Considering Nunes wrote the memo, I have very little doubt that there are many inaccuracies within it.

The dems tried to silence Nunes with an ethics investigation. Totally wrong move. That silence is over.

Looks like a good plan! Thanks for posting the real heads-up. Apparently, until then, information venues will be rather noisy with Democrats throwing fits. Good night to take a break.

Yes, without the release it looks like politics. With the release they can’t even pretend to play Nixon. RTM and let the chips fall. Time to put on their big boy pants and take off their fake Boy Scout uniforms.

There should be a high price to pay for failure to follow one’s oath of office, they all took it freely and without reservation! MAGA!

Every day that goes by the Deep State, the DNC Media and the Democrats have the narrative. Release the Memo NoW. If the White House changes it, they are backstabbing an American Her, Nunes.

Excellent timing. It builds on the SOTU swell.

We do not know of any edits. The media are simply trying to make news. The President can redact anything he wants.

Simple...he can just un-redact the changes made...puts it back to original text.

I totally trust both. Don’t be an idiot. You really do know better.

YOU DON’T TRUST TRUMP cuz he hired Mulehead and Sessions.

I trust him implicitly to know what he was doing.

Hearing it must be entered into House record first, five days after release, and not in session today, so it would be Monday at the earliest.

Don’t know that that is correct.
