FISA abuse memo, #ReleaseTheMemo campaign send Congress, Wikileaks and Twitter into a tailspin

Interest in a classified House Intelligence Committee memo, which reportedly outlines how the anti-Trump dossier was used by the FBI to justify surveillance against Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, has caused an online frenzy.

Late Thursday, WikiLeaks jumped into the proceedings, offering a reward of up to $1 million to anyone who could send them a copy.

Meanwhile, reports emerged that the Twitter hashtag calling for the memo’s public release — #ReleaseTheMemo — was receiving a major online push by Russian-linked Twitter accounts.

According to the Hamilton 68 Dashboard, an independent tracker of Russian online influence campaigns, #ReleaseTheMemo received a massive boost over the past 48 hours, from more than 500 Twitter accounts suspected to have connections to Kremlin online propaganda efforts, the Washington Examiner reported. Some accounts, but noted, clearly behaved like automated “bots” deigned to amplifying American conspiracy theories and disinformation.

On Thursday, the House House Intelligence Committee voted along party lines to release the FISA abuse memo. According to sources close to the committee, it addresses text messages between FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page which prove the dossier was used to justify FISA warrants.

Previously the FBI’s deputy head of counterintelligence, Mr. Strzok played a primary role in investigating Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state. He also worked on the FBI’s probe into possible coordination between Mr. Trump’s campaign and Russia in the 2016 election until leaving the investigation in July.

I'm not a Twit, but I went to Twitter to see how the count of #ReleaseTheMemo memo had increased from the near half million I saw posted last night. I didn't find anything on the memo at all!

I assume one has to sign up to look up what's trending -- but, I'm not a joiner.

Can anyone here check to see how the subject is trending -- or, if the ProTwits have tried to make the subject disappear?

"Wish I had time to go save some, upload somewhere and post them here.."

That's 'way too much trouble. Hot-link 'em...

If a meme image is on the web, you can usually right-click ([ctrl]-click) on it, and select "Save image address" from the pop-up menu -- and, then just paste it [between the ""s] here like this:

<img src="[Image URL]">

(No square brackets, of course...)

Yes, they apparently set up a room as a “SCIF”. I read that no personal e-devices (phones, tablets) were allowed inside...

[b4its2late]

You got that right.

Twitter is corrupt. Latest example: the top trender today is #TrumpShutdown. Not #SchumerShutdown. Not even close. They bake the trends.

If nothing else, these focused moments of crisis are forcing seditious cabals like Twitter, Google, Facebook, et al to step into the open and reveal their true anti-American natures.

"Meanwhile, reports CYA Twitter claims emerged that the Twitter hashtag calling for the memo’s public release — #ReleaseTheMemo — was receiving a major online push by Russian-linked Twitter accounts."

Pure FAKE NEWS!

Twitter is using the "Russian" excuse to justify their own leftist squelching of the HUGE nationwide clamor by citizens -- for Congress to #ReleaseTheMemo!

[b4its2late]

Yes, I believe you are correct.

LOL Doug! Love it!

[b4its2late]

Saw it on twitter! Hahahaha.

Rosie blocked me last year so I can no longer send the insulting memes to her. This is the one that finally did it for her --

[b4its2late]

LOL! Awesome. It was worth it!
