Trump to declassify surveillance memo, sources say – as Pelosi seeks Nunes ouster
Fox.News ^ | 2/1/2018 | John Roberts

Posted on 02/01/2018 8:42:31 AM PST by Beave Meister

President Trump is expected to swiftly declassify a controversial memo on purported surveillance abuses, sources tell Fox News, even as Democrats raise objections that edits were made to the document since it was approved for release by a key committee.

Those objections fueled a new round of partisan recriminations on Thursday, with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi firing off a letter to Speaker Paul Ryan demanding the chairman of that committee, Republican Devin Nunes, be removed.

“Chairman Nunes’ deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as Chairman, and he must be immediately removed from this position,” she wrote.

But the objections don’t appear to be halting the publication plans.

The release is likely to come Friday morning, Fox News is told.

Trump already had made clear he supports the release of the document, but the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee late Wednesday charged that Nunes made "material changes" to the memo.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who opposes the memo’s release in any form, wrote that the committee’s minority determined the letter was not “the same document” its members have been reviewing since mid-January. Nunes' office countered that the changes were minor and blasted the complaint as a “bizarre distraction from the abuses detailed in the memo.”

The minority party is out of options. They’ve mopped themselves into a corner and all they can do is to sow seeds of doubt regarding memo content.

President Trump, please release the original memo.

Bad? It’s either talking about treason or sedition. Can’t get any worse.

You got a love my congresscritter
She’s an endless source of incredibly stupid quotations
She’s also worth about $50-$90 million which is your typical Democrat trying to say they represent the poor when are the richest of the richest of the rich it’s quite Hilarious
The old saying is true when you’re taking a bunch of flack you know you’re over to target and Mr. Nunez has to be given credit for taking an unbelievable amount of incoming fire and flak in fake and fraud investigations and standing tall and he’s out here in California to which even makes it even more of that incredible thing that he had the fortitude to do that
And at this point I’d say keep the anticipation of the memo going and what’s the rats in the media and the FBI and the deep state keeps scurrying and obfuscatingI love it

Separation of powers means nothing to Democrat/Leftists as in this case it doesn't suit their purpose.

I won't be surprised if they not only try to obtain an injunction but they even find a Leftist judge on, say, the 9th Circus to issue one ... in which case I hope, in quick response, President Trump orders the immediate release of the memo.

What an epic FIGHT this has been so far!

Whatever name they’re calling this current offensive, it appears to be well-planned and unstoppable.

The opposition’s usual tactics stir up a lot of their usual smoke, but the winds of fate are blowing against them and dissipate their smoke fairly quickly so that it has little effect beyond identifying them and marking their locations.

There have been quite a few opposition casualties already and their body count is rising, along with their mortally wounded and their severely wounded who will be evacuated soon and won’t be returning to the field of battle.

Never saw any of this coming... What an amazing time to be alive!

deliberately dishonest actions

Think about it Nancy, dear. I don't think you, of all people, want that standard applied to Congressional leadership positions

It must be really, really, really bad.

Or, perhaps really, really good for Dems... they see this as an obstruction of justice to stop the "Russian investigation".

It will take months, if not years, to pry loose the actual documents (testimony from whistleblowers, intercept transcripts, etc.) through the courts and endless closed-door hearings, etc.

People like Pelosi, Schiff, etc. know the memo is based on these volumes of classified factual information, but the public (LIV's) don't know that... so it will take a lot more proof before any of them actually believe the memo.

It IS about the timing. That’s what they should have released Monday. it only took him 15 minutes too read it and 20 to correct the errors. Giving time for Hillary and Obama to cover up. They are giving control to any judge that will stop the release. Then Trump can say, nothing I can do. 90 day appeal and then the USSC and no one will remember what the fuss was about.

“...Bad? It’s either talking about treason or sedition. Can’t get any worse....”

It wouldn’t surprise me in the very least if the DNC/Hitlery campaign/Odongo and his filthy ilk planned and paid for Trump’s outright assassination and were thwarted by something. IF, in fact, this is the case, the evil communist RAT party should be forced into the dust bin of history.....forever.

“Chairman Nunes’ deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as Chairman, and he must be immediately removed from this position,” she wrote.

Read this on the Interwebs:

A major research institution has just announced the discovery of the densest element yet known to science. The new element has been named Pelosium. The chemical symbol of Pelosium is Pu. Pelosium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 311. These particles are held together by dark particles called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.

Pelosium’s mass actually increases over time, as morons randomly interact with various elements in the atmosphere and become assistant deputy neutrons within the Pelosium molecule, leading to the formation of isodopes. This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to believe that Pelosium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as Critical Morass.

When catalyzed with money, Pelosium activates MSNBCobnoxium and CNNadnauseum, both elements that radiate orders of magnitude more energy, albeit as incoherent noise, since they have half as many peons but twice as many morons as Pelosium.

Since it has no electrons, Pelosium is inert. However, it can be detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with. According to the discoverers, a minute amount of Pelosium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would have normally occurred in less than a second. In the presense of anti-morons, Pelosium can be extremely corrosive. Botox seems to distort and smooth its surface, without impeding its ongoing decay.

Pelosium has a normal half-life of approximately two years, at which time it does not decay, but instead undergoes a transmutation, appearing in a new location but displaying the same properties. In this process, assistant neutrons, vice neutrons and assistant vice neutrons exchange places. Some studies have shown that the atomic mass actually increases after each transmutation.

Research at other laboratories indicates that Pelosium occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate at certain points such as government agencies, large corporations, universities, and anywhere there is news coverage occurring. It can usually be found in the newest, best appointed, and best maintained buildings.

Scientists point out that Pelosium is known to be toxic at any level of concentration and can easily destroy any productive reaction where it is allowed to accumulate. Attempts are being made to determine how Pelosium can be controlled to prevent irreversible damage, but results to date are not promising.

Hey Nancy!

What are you afraid of?

There hasn’t been this much grasping at straw since the flying monkeys tore the Scarecrow apart.

Maybe he will just send it back to the Committee with the dims redacted parts "unredacted"
