Tell The Senate Ethics Committee To Investigate “Memo-Gate” (Senate Intel Com Memo)!

Tell The Senate Ethics Committee To Investigate “Memo-Gate” (Senate Intel Com Memo)

 

As expected, most of the media is blacking out the story on the leaked Democrat memo detailing a Democrat plot to use congressional investigations into Iraq war planning for political gain against President Bush. This cannot stand.

 

Please use the contact information below to DEMAND an ethics investigation into this memo which recommends “that Democrats ‘prepare to launch an investigation when it becomes clear we have exhausted the opportunity to usefully collaborate with the majority. We can pull the trigger on an independent investigation of the administration's use of intelligence at any time – but we can only do so once ... the best time would probably be next year.’”

 

In a statement, Roberts said that the memo "appears to be a road map for how the Democrats intend to politicize what should be a bipartisan, objective review of prewar intelligence."

 

Also, please send an email to oreilly@foxnews.com and plea with him to not let the liberal media give the Dems a pass on this one after they skewered Rumsfeld and Novak over similar “leaks”. This must not stand.

"Tell The Senate Ethics Committee To Investigate “Memo-Gate” (Senate Intel Com Memo)!"

1: HEAR, HEAR! That memo is blatant abuse of power. This is the Senate INTELLIGENCE Committee! Oxymoron jokes aside, this is serious business. The political hackjob plan outlined in the memo against both the DoD and CnC is SO far outside the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence's JOB that it's on the far side of an alternate universe!

2: The way that memo was organized and worded has Hillary all over it. If she didn't write it, she was consulted to heavily she practically dictated it.

3: The Democrat response : that this memo proves the Democrat's case for an independant counsel was astounding. They must have been up late into the night coming up with that one. My gut response was "Yes, Intelligence Committee memo might warrant an independant investigator." Of course that's not what the Dems meant, but it is true.

Sorry - this memo proves that we have subversives on the Intelligence Committee and they need to be removed and replaced with people that will defend the U.S. against foreign and DOMESTIC enemies.

We are not obligated to pay taxpayer funds for elected representatives to spend their time trying to destroy an elected president. We pay taxpayer funds to have them protect the U.S. against our enemies. And, we are in a war.

Sean says he has it on good authority that the memo came directly from Rockefeller, was written at his instigation. More developments coming.

"What am I missing?"

Nothing. We knew the Dems would use this "concern" in the '04 election. We knew they would use underhanded means to do it. The reaction you're seeing is not surprise or shock. It's outrage. We all expected we would be outrages when we discovered HOW the Dems planned to use the American version of Blair/Kelly over here. We're just...some of us are even more angry than we expected to be even on our most cynical days.

Analytically speaking though, the memo is a gold mine. It's as good as the intelligence documents seized from Iraq by the CIA. It puts us right into the the seething, rotten, stinking mind of the enemy and gives us another glimpse of their thought processes. We may feel the need for a bath in bleach afterward, but the intelligence gained is invaluable.

Where are you getting this from? (Hannity isn't on here yet).

"Or Rottenfeller?"

Probably. Hillary is part of this "we" though. Has to be.

Rockefeller supposedly has admitted he authorized and encouraged staff to write this.

Sean says if so then Rockefeller isn't fit to serve.

He really doesn't believe a staffer wrote it, either, and says there are ways to find out. Says it's clearly more than a memo written by some staffer.

Just telling Mr. Gun that very thing earlier today. You bet - it would push everything off the news shows. In fact, the lib/dems and their media prostitutes would certainly be referring to it as Watergate II.

?? Why did you start your post with a "sorry"? We're agreeing.

Thank you for adding what I left out: the guilty parties indeed need to be forced out (of the senate) and yes, replaced by people who will protect the integrity of the United States against enemies both foreign and domestic.

THAT is the Intelligence Commitee's job, not the manufacturing of phony scandals and cheap propaganda, either during peacetime or - far worse -wartime.

Clinton used the WMD intelligence info to bomb Iraq. If Bush is "guilty of lies", wouldn't Clinton's claim (along with all the Democrats who agreed with him at the time) Saddam had WMD's also be a crime? Did Bill Clinton's administration also lie to us?

Where did Bill Clinton get his WMD information to bomb Iraq in 1998? Where did the Democrats that supported his attack get their WMD information? Why would their intel information be acceptable enough to war with Iraq when Clinton attacked, yet it's not acceptable now?

We need an investigation to find out if Saddam really had WMDs as far back as 1998, when our government was telling us he had, and where did that information start?
The only way to sort all this out is to start at the very beginning. Right after Desert storm, because we know he had them at the time.

"Where are you getting this from? (Hannity isn't on here yet)."

His show is on in the East. He said it. It confirms a few things from yesterday, or rather, makes congresscritter hedging on Hannity's questions yesterday ("I have to consult with Rockefeller first") yesterday more clear.
