The FBI said Wednesday that the bureau has “grave concerns” about the classified memo that purportedly reveals government surveillance abuses, but White House Chief of Staff John Kelly says it is going public, anyway. “With regard to the House Intelligence Committee’s memorandum, the FBI was provided a limited opportunity to review this memo the day before the committee voted to release it,” the FBI said in a statement. “As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.” But earlier Tuesday, Kelly told Fox News in an exclusive interview the classified memo will be made public soon. Kelly said White House national security aides have been reviewing the memo. “It'll be released here pretty quick I think and the whole world can see it,” he said.

‘we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.’
So release not only the memo, but all supporting documentation. For once, become transparent.
You've clearly missed some of the commentary. Of course many were trashing it, such as the predictable Van Jones. But both the CBS and CNN polls showed strong approval, and several commentators who you would expect to trash the President instead have gone on record and admitted that his speech was strong and effective.
So some cracks have begun to appear in the Media's uniformly negative narrative—so I guess you're only seeing what you want to see. However, there are indeed several surprising examples of talking heads who grudgingly admitted that the President delivered a good speech. Those examples have been posted here on FR—but don't let them interfere with your pessimistic tunnel vision.
In any event, everybody knows why the memo hasn't been released yet—and that it will be released very soon. But gratuitously stomping all over his State of the Union speech by prematurely releasing it was properly deemed imprudent by the President and his advisors...
Love that tagline....
Why are they so concerned with protecting our national security and not the least bit concerned about our fourth amendment rights? To refresh for those who may have forgotten the fourth amendment says
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
How exactly, does the FBI "checkmate" the boss?
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if there is some serious "deal-making" going on behind the scenes. Think of the high-stakes.
Sheesh, what's happened to the English language?
Going the way of Q Anon I guess...
If Jeff Session is called the silent executioner; then the question is which side is he going to terminate.
Man oh man, there is still a huge amount of speculation about the contents and future ramifications of this memo. None of us know what is in it. Some of you are setting yourselves up for disappointment by drawing conclusions prematurely based on total rumor. I’m hoping for the best, but I’m not saying a damn thing until I read it for myself.
And then Kelly allowed Five STASI agents to amend the Memo. Kelly is Them.
Thanks son of terrence.
Adam Lanza crazy eyes.
