LETTER TEXT
The Honorable Devin Nunes
Chairman
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
HVC-304, The Capitol
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Chairman Nunes:
Thank you for your hard work as Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), and for making the recent four-page memo from HPSCI available to Members of Congress. After reading the document, we were shocked and frustrated, but it has deepened our belief in the vital importance of transparency.
This important memo will be of interest to anyone who cares about America and our democratic system of government. We are writing to request the immediate release of this document to the public, as well as any relevant ancillary information. The audience of this document should not be limited to Members of Congress — the American people deserve to know the information it contains.
Thank you for your service and for your prompt attention to this request.
Sincerely,
Matt Gaetz
Member of Congress
“could you imagine if there is evidence that the Obama administration blackmailed a Supreme Court justice?”
From what I understand, whats coming down the pipeline will be 100 times worse than that.
“The full Congress?”
A majority of the Full House most vote to release it to the public.
And that means Ryan must put it on the floor, something he won’t do unless compelled to do so.
He’ll go down fighting.
Several Freepers were alarmed recently on Gowdy's statements to the TV the other day. Seemed to be throwing Trump under the bus and endorsing Mueller in more than one interview.
Now that’s an interesting idea. Clever.
Would be hard to imagine Trump doesn’t have everything, including this FISA memo and copies of all the FISA warrants.
He’s the President and he can get anything he wants whenever he wants. With all that is being exposed, I wonder if Mueller still really wants to interview Trump. If Trump has all the info on the sedition and treason, that must mean he has the goods on Mueller, too.
“Might be easier and faster if POTUS can simply declassify it.”
Absllutely! And do it today!
My guy, Thomas Massie , is not on the list. Massie has always been a stand up conservative. I am highly disappointed and have conveyed my feelings.
hmmmmm and my mind drifts back to Seth Rich and of course Benghazi.
“If Trump has all the info on the sedition and treason, that must mean he has the goods on Mueller, too.”
He does, in spades. I have read info that says Mueller has been flipped and in exchange for not prosecuting him for treason, he has been investigating and indicting the Deep State. He has 9,000+ sealed indictments and Gen. Mattis informed Gitmo to be ready for hundreds of VIP guests.

Joke for the day:
An honest democrat congressman walks into a bar!
The end.
I would have expected Gowdy to be leading this charge.
That was how he lead us to perceive him during the oversight committee meetings.
I’m not saying Harold Watson Gowdy is the Kabuki King, but Harold Watson Gowdy is the Kabuki King.

Horowitz clean up with the DOJ OIG report
Twitter report that there is a Dem leadership meeting going on in Pelosi’s office. Run, roh.
Discussing fight or flight to be sure...
Does being a standup conservative excludes one from being part of the elites?
Honestly, I find this hard to believe, but time will tell.
Antonin Scalia RIP
“hmmmmm and my mind drifts back to Seth Rich and of course Benghazi.”
Much, much worse. It will be the end of the Democratic party. It will shock America to it’s core. This info will come in waves. The memo is but the very tip of the iceberg.
And (you probably know) Seth Rich was where all the Wikileaks data came from.
I would be truly shocked if Trump hasn't seen the entire contents, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's what he laid out before Chuckie Schumer today. By all reports Chuckie wasn't happy after that little meeting.
The memo is only four pages, no matter what's in it. But it links to corroborating evidence that is also classified, and the real fear for the Dems is what's in that, and what is likely to happen when the country demands that to be declassified and published as well. All speculation after that.
re...seth rich yes I had figured that.
