Devin Nunes’ Anti-FBI Memo Names James Comey, Rod Rosenstein, and Andrew McCabe

A controversial Republican memo alleging surveillance abuse specifically names FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein along with former FBI Director James Comey.

Capitol Hill sources on both sides of the aisle say the memo’s release is only a matter of time. And when it comes out, these current and former officials — all GOP bêtes noires — are likely to face even more criticism from the right over their involvement in FBI counterintelligence work.

Meanwhile, the Justice Department has expressed serious concerns about the memo’s potential release. In a letter sent to Nunes on Jan. 24, Stephen Boyd, the department’s top congressional liaison, wrote that “it would be extraordinarily reckless for the Committee to disclose such information publicly without giving the Department and the FBI the opportunity to review the memorandum and to advise the HPSCI [the House intelligence committee] of the risk of harm to national security and to ongoing investigations that could come from public release.”

That letter also said the department is “unaware of any wrongdoing” related to the FISA process—indicating the department disagrees with the scores of congressional Republicans who say Nunes’ memo provides proof of wrongdoing.

The memo is enormously controversial. Hill Democrats and former FBI officials say it’s a ploy to damage public confidence in the FBI and undermine Mueller’s investigation.

That horse left the barn a long time ago.

I hope Trump reads the memo at the beginning of the State of the Union speech.

[Robert357]

If the memo is any good, it should connect the dots.

[Jacquerie]

I hope President Trump, without warning, reads the memo aloud at the end of his SOTU speech. The media will go batsh!t and be unable to bury the story.

Inside the bureau, former special agent Soufan said there was “disappointment and frustration” over the right’s attacks, but not surprise.

Somehow, I've having trouble believing these agents talking to the The Daily Beast are speaking for anyone other than themselves and a very tiny group of top officials in the bureau, officials most likely with a lot to hide.

From link - Second reply Diogenesis:

“Mueller delivered a sample of uranium to America’s enemy.”

“And then he protected the Bengazi atrocity, using
the FB”I” to protect rape of minors during the rape
of the Ambassador and the transfer of 20000 MANPADs
to terrorists.”

They effective leadership of the DOJ can’t find any evidence of a conspiracy to commit SEDITION that implicates themselves.....imagine that?

It's a mystery alright.../s

My take on this is when this is all said and done, I bet you we find out Obama weaponized the IC on day One of his administration. We need to find proof of it, further FISA searches, WH logs, PDB reviews, emails, etc. Plain old detective work by a newly hatched FBI and DOJ. It may take the next seven years, but hey, the crimes are undoubtedly there. Let the research and investigations begin to slowly build a case. This man tried to fundamentally change our Sacred Republic. It's time for him to receive justice for his many crimes, the Obama Spying Scandal being only one.

The 99-page FISA document is now unclassified, and appears to be the genesis of the 4-page memo referenced by Nunes and others.

The 99 Page FISA Memorandum and Opinion Order

There it is, the 85% reference. Not cool Barry. This is America, not the KGB/USSR. See you in court.

Here's a screen shot of the 85% mention in the 99 Page FISA document:

85% huh? So Rice, Power and God knows who else just went over and got any info they wanted on any American of their choosing. Besides Trump et al, did they unmask Hannity, Rush, Levin and other conservatives? And when did they start?

Hey Barry, your spying scandal is all coming out in the open. Better get a lawyer. What you did was sedition and treason, plain and simple. We're going to find out if you started this on Day One! Let the indictments begin!

[Golden Eagle]

ROSENSTEIN is the big name here. The others are a given.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Those three heads of intelligence agencies who earlier WOULD HAVE had final say on the FISA document were HOLDER/LYNCH, COMEY (possibly), CLAPPER and BRENNAN.

Yeh, sure. They’d release the truth in a minute, a Plutonian “minute”.

As for the Soufran FBI agent, I don’t believe much of what he says. The American people know that the field agents are darn good and trustworthy. It’s their Democrat hack superiors who have pissed into the Lemonade at the party.

As for Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), he’s so f*cking nuts that a family of squirrels lives in his head and eats his brain for food.

There has been NO leaks on the contents of the FISA memo. Period.

The only “leaks” out there are the gray cells from Schiff-For-Brains himself. Charles Manson, who heard Schiff, while he was still alive, reportedly said: “Who is this guy? He’s great. He’s even crazier than me and that takes a lot of doing. He should have been with us at Sharon Tate’s house. He’d fit right in”.

If they cared about national security Hillary would not have been able to run for president due to all the crap she pulled.

[piasa]

It was written by Grassley and Graham.
The top Dem Senator on the committee, no doubt, refused to join in the making of the summary memo.

[piasa]

Right now the press is gasping about Trump wanting to fire Mueller... try as they might they could not get him to fire Mueller and make it easier for them to claim obstruction. So on the verge of the memo coming out, they are attempting to build a mountain out of the molehill that he wanted to fire Mueller. Oh my! How dare he want to fire the Spanish inquisitor...

[Rapscallion]

President should announce he has lost conficencwe in Rosenstein and order him transferred immediately. Announce someone like Giuliani as replacement for Rosenstein.

[Rapscallion]

That letter also said the department is “unaware of any wrongdoing” related to the FISA process"

That is a lie. They know the dossier was used to get a warrant to listen illegally. Then they divulged the content of the intercepted information. That is a federal crime.

[Flick Lives]

surveillance abuse specifically names FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein along with former FBI Director James Comey...

[tomkat]

The media will go batsh!t and be unable to bury the story.

Assuming it's as damning to the deep state maggots as we think it is, THAT is the best argument for doing so !

[heights]

Has anyone seen Jordan or Nunes in Four days? The White House gave the go-ahead to release the Memo, and they Disappeared.

[Despot of the Delta]

I heard Nunes is in Saudi
