Never before has there been so much talk about a memo in Washington. In a previous article, I claimed that this could be the biggest scandal in D.C. since Watergate, but the truth is that this could actually be bigger than Watergate. As you will see below, there are some that believe that this memo will implicate members of the previous administration all the way up to Barack Obama himself. In the short-term, we are likely to see a number of top government officials fired, and even Democrats are admitting that this could include Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The following comes from Reuters
The top Democrat on the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee said on Wednesday a memo by the panels Republicans opens the door for the White House to fire the special counsel probing Russias alleged meddling in the U.S. election or the No. 2 official at the Justice Department.
It increases the risk of a constitutional crisis by setting the stage for subsequent actions by the White House to fire (Special Counsel Robert) Mueller or, as now seems more likely, Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, Representative Adam Schiff said in an opinion piece in the Washington Post.
But if this memo is as damning as some believe that it will be, getting fired will not be the end of the story for many of these top officials.
If it is true that government surveillance powers were illegally used to target Donald Trump and his associates, and if it is true that the Obama administration, the FBI and the Clinton campaign illegally colluded in a desperate attempt to destroy Donald Trump, we should be seeing a lot of really big names go to prison.
In a previous article, I discussed how outraged many Republican members of Congress were after they initially read this memo. Since that time, we have learned that current FBI Director Christopher Wray was shocked to the core after reading the four-page FISA abuse memo, and that he immediately asked Andrew McCabe to resign the next day
Carter: What we know tonight is that FBI Director Christopher Wray went Sunday and reviewed the four-page FISA memo. The very next day, Andrew McCabe was asked to resign. Remember Sean, he was planning on resigning in March that already came out in December. This time they asked him to go right away. Youre not coming into the office. Ive heard rep[orts he didnt even come in for the morning meeting that he didnt show up.
Hannity: A source of mine told me tonight that when Wray read this, it shocked him to his core.
It is absolutely imperative that the American people be given the opportunity to see this memo.
I believe that this memo has the potential to end the investigation that has haunted the president for nearly his entire time in the White House, and I believe that this memo also has the potential to throw the Democratic Party into a complete state of disarray.
Personally, I have been very vocal about the need to release this memo, and I dont know why any of my opponents dont seem to want to speak out publicly about this. Maybe they have been and I have just not seen it yet. So if any of you know of any public statements by my opponents on this matter please let me know.
As I stated during the recent candidate debate, I am not going to shy away from the hard issues, and that definitely sets our campaign apart from the exceedingly bland campaigns of my opponents.
The good news is that it looks like this memo may be on the verge of being released. According to Zero Hedge, President Trump appeared to tell a member of Congress that he was on board with releasing the memo as he was leaving the State of the Union address
It appears President Trump has managed to set another narrative as he left the House Chamber.
As Trump shook hands up the aisle after his SOTU address, Rep. Jeff Duncan called out to Trump, asking him Lets release the memo, referring to the House Intelligence Committees FISA memo.
As the following clip shows, Trump responded instantly: Oh yeah, dont worry, 100%.
Because this memo could potentially end the Special Counsels investigation, it would definitely make sense for Trump to release it.
And because this memo could be such a disaster for Democrats, it also makes sense why they are vehemently opposing any effort to make it public.
If it was just embarrassing that would be one thing. Unfortunately, it appears that this memo is going to implicate many of the biggest names in the Democratic Party including Barack Obama. Just consider what former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino is saying
Dan Bongino: It is not a coincidence that Devin Nunes who has an entire scope of what happened went back in March to the White House facility to read very specific intel that I think will very likely be in this memo. What am I saying by this? That the information was likely breached to Barack Obama. What does that mean? That means that this information was being used by Hillary and all of this other stuff that was in this dossier and all of this spying was probably being inserted into daily briefs by Barack Obama. Why else would Nunes have to go to the White House to read it.
We shouldnt be too optimistic until we actually get to see the memo, but many are hoping that this could be the trigger that leads to a true draining of the swamp in Washington.
The rule of law should apply to everyone, and that includes our elected officials. It appears that there has been a great deal of malfeasance going on behind the scenes, and it will be a great win for the American people if we can start to expose it for all the world to see.
I won’t be happy till I see the Fox Alert that the Obamas and the Clintons have fled the country. They obviously wanted the USA to operate like a banana republic, and that’s what the criminal leaders of those countries always do.
MEMO TO WHITE HOUSE: You are correct. Do not cave in now.
Mark Meadows: Nothing in Democrat Memo Contradicts Nunes’ FISA Abuse Memo

The hell with getting fired, I want to see criminal charges brought.
Hyping it so that if it doesn’t implicate these guys they can say “See? We told you it was a Nothingburger!”
read the Presidents Dec 21 EO, they might flee but their money stays.
Donald....NOW is the time to land your strongest punch on these miscreants.
This is what WINNING looks like. The swamp is being drained and the first to be flushed out are the ugliest, slimiest creatures, and other vermin will follow the flow.
If this gets Mueller fired....then you might as well fire Sessions as well, and clean the big mess entirely (bring in Chris Christie to replace Sessions).
Excellent point.
Via the Presidents Dec 21 E/O, the Clintons and the Obammies might flee ........ but their money stays.
Is there a better way than Twitter to contact TPTB in the White House to Release The Memo?
No, not RINO Christie. Bring in Trey Gowdy.
Why? Is Wray so clueless that a summary document of data sent to Congress from his own FBI was fully unknown to him?
Something else is very smelly here. I do not question the Gowdy-Nunes summary, but I am puzzled as to the "shocked to the core" comment.
If convictions are handed out the next Democrat president will issue pardons.
Rosenstein is such a bland, passive looking beta male. Wonder how he managed to worm his way into such a powerful position.
Beautiful. How much money was made by Obama for being the president? His salary is 200K / yr but he made, what? - 100 million that we know of? Nice work if you can get it.
It’s not enough that evidence is uncovered that could be seen as justifying firing Mueller.
What is needed is evidence that would justify INDICTING Mueller for acts of demonstrable malfeasance. Only an INDICTMENT will result in shutting down his witch hunt.
