WOW! Sessions DOJ Moves To Protect Deep State AGAIN, Warns Against Releasing FISA Memo
Gateway Pundit ^ | January 24, 2017 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 01/24/2018 6:50:03 PM PST by Golden Eagle

The Sessions Justice Department is calling on House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) to allow the FBI to review the “shocking,” FISA abuse memo to ensure its release will not harm national security.

ABC News reports:

The Justice Department is urging the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, whose staff has compiled a secret memorandum purporting to show “shocking” political bias within the FBI, to give the department a chance to see the memo and warning that first sharing information from the memo with reporters would be “unprecedented” and dangerous.

Furthermore, the department said certain allegations of impropriety are completely unfounded.

“We believe it would be extraordinarily reckless for the Committee to disclose such information publicly without giving the Department and the FBI the opportunity to review the memorandum and to advise the [committee] of the risk of harm to national security and to ongoing investigations that could come from the public release,” a top Justice Department official wrote in a letter today to Rep. Devin Nunes, R-California.

Fake news.

“NOTE: The following article has been updated to more accurately reflect the Justice Department’s overall position on the FISA memo and the agency’s desire for the FBI to review its contents. In relation to the information laid out in the memo, ABC News reported, “the department said certain allegations of impropriety are completely unfounded.” However, after reading the leaked letter obtained by The Atlantic’s Natasha Bertrand, nowhere does the Justice Department’s Stephen Boyd directly state allegations in the memo are unfounded, rather the Trump appointee says the agency is “unaware” of any wrongdoing related to the document. ABC News’ story did not include the letter and appears to have editorialized Boyd’s statement on the veracity of the memo.”

The WH can release it by declassifying it.

Trust Sessions to do what? He has recused himself from anything campaign related and let partisan Democrats run his department in the TRUMP DOJ.

They should have had it cued up and launched before the opposition could mobilize. With each passing day it’s credibility gets trashed and the likelihood of its release gets smaller.

It took the announcement of the memo before the mainstream media would even cover the FBI corruption story at all. Now all they have in response is their claim that it's not healthy for the nation for Congress and the President to talk bad about the FBI. As if that is more important to our nation's health than actually having a corrupt FBI!

On FOX news tonight, I finally heard why it is going to take time to release the papers. It’s the supporting documents that have to be gone over, not the 4 page summation.

Unfortunately I agree with you. This is going to get buried by the uniparty.

“Article says a top Justice Department official not AG Sessions.”

The letter is signed by Stephen E. Boyd, Assistant Attorney General. There is a copy of the letter on Reddit. In it they state: “Though we are currently unaware of any wrongdoing realted to the FISA process...” WTF?

We do not know WHY they are being cautious. Hold your fire until you have the facts. For all we know the informant is mentioned and he/she needs to be protected.

“Grassley was required to show his summary to the FBI “:

He isn’t required to show them spit. Congress can disband the FBI in about an hour if they chose to. The FBI on the other hand is required to show Congress whatever it wants.

“It will be shocking if it gets released at all. Congress will take no action against their fellow conspirators...I mean congressmen.”

Too true. Congress backs Sessions(the rat bastard) all the way. The swamp wants Trump impeached which is why the Republicans have #resisted Trump’s agenda.

They’re all sick corrupt bastards in need of mob justice.

I thing the Boyd letter is a head fake. The underlying source material didn’t originate at FBI/DOJ.
