Comey, Rosenstein, McCabe All Named In FISA Memo, According To First Leak
Zeroedge ^

A bombshell four-page "FISA memo" alleging egregious surveillance abuse by the FBI, DOJ and Obama administration, specifically names FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, according to the Daily Beast.

The GOP-authored memo made waves last week after it was made available to the full House of Representatives for viewing. With over 60 GOP lawmakers calling for its release, Capitol Hill sources on both sides of the aisle tell The Daily Beast that it's only a matter of time before the general public is allowed to view the document - which is likely to stoke already-inflamed tensions between GOP lawmakers and the individuals named in the leak.

the memo allegedly names Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein - who created Robert Mueller's special counsel after former FBI Director James Comey was fired.

Dude, you wrote that yourself? You're a pro. You need to be writing for a major publication. How impressive.

In a real world, Rosenstein named in the memo would be the end of Mueller's investigation since Rosenstein appointed him. Not sure we live in a real world, though.

Maybe this is why the Donald seems so eager to testify to Mueller. Mueller may not be around to do the interview. Or at the very least, he will be a sad, sad panda by then.

Things are developing quite nicely, I think.

“Maybe this is why the Donald seems so eager to testify to Mueller.”

He shouldn’t, especially not under oath. Mueller’s will be looking for any arcane, minor legal gotcha to bring Trump down.

Corruption? Try TREASON. Plotting the overthrow of the government is flat out TREASON. Arrest, try, convict and sentence to death. Cruel and inhuman sounds about right. Repeat until all are dealt with.

I agree. I’m thinking, though that his plan is to have Mueller neutralized by then. According to Q, the Donald already pre-signed the release the memo authorization that the committee has already approved. Did you see Bobalu’s post? If true, it could be checkmate Mueller. Depending on whats in the memo.

the dally beast sez: "To make the memo public, House Republicans are considering the use of an arcane, little-known process from the House of Representatives’ rules of procedure (PDF).

Rule X, subsection 11(g), lays out a process for releasing classified material even over objections by the president of the United States. "

This is PURE obfuscation since they later admit "The president, however, can simply decide on his own to declassify anything. And in Trump’s case, his spokesperson is on the record supporting declassification."

the Dally Beast is a POS.

“I agree. I’m thinking, though that his plan is to have Mueller neutralized by then.”

Even if that were the case, still a bad idea to say you’ll do it. As the meme goes, “it’s a trap!”

“According to Q, the Donald already pre-signed the release the memo authorization that the committee has already approved. Did you see Bobalu’s post?”

I’m not impressed by absurd 4chan pranks/hoaxes, i.e. “Q”.

I can only take this cognitive dissonance as a product of the left's total despair. Poor babies.
