Among the last gasps of the deep state? Praying for the nation, and DJT.

How can Kelly make changes? I can see making objections but changes? It is not his to change.

Lou Dobbs reported a few minutes ago that 5 FBI officials met with
John Kelly ( And not White House Lawyers ) today
And that John Kelly made changes to the memo.
And after agreeing to requested FBI changes,
The FBI released a statement about omissions.
...would be great if PDJT released both memos and , “let us decide which is most honest”

If we find out that a single word has been changed by Kelly or anyone other than POTUS, Nunez should go ahead and release the original memo.

Love how all these pundits are saying that "It's just the upper echelon of DOJ and FBI that are corrupt.". Yeah, right. Guarantee we'll find out that every g-ddamned field office in the country has been playing fast and loose with the Constitution since the FBI's inception. Corruption in in the bureau's DNA.

Totally agree. The sooner that this Memo comes out, post SOTU, the better for everybody who gives a damn about this country.

Shine the light of Truth on those Domestic Enemies so we can put a bead on them.

Well, I’m going to continue to be a dissident here and say the “memo” should not be released, or at least, not yet.

We are faced with a large and well-organized campaign of sedition against the lawful government of the United States. There are two possible ways to suppress the campaign and punish the malefactors, neither one of which has anything to do with Congress.

The first is what Lincoln referred to as “the ordinary course of judicial proceedings”.

The second, when “combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings” arise is the army, or, more exactly, the militias of the several States.

A draft document naming individuals and ascribing guilt to them, coming from Congress, could amount to a Bill of Attainder. These are forbidden to Congress for good reasons.

Such a document could also tip off conspirators who are not yet aware that their roles and identities are known.

But worst of all, the document could prevent prosecution of the guilty by unfair publicity before the government puts its case in front of a court.

Now, many have said, rightly, that the DOJ/FBI can’t/won’t investigate itself, and that Congress is a backup.

But Congress can’t convene a Grand Jury, issue indictments, appoint prosecutors, arrest and hold for trial suspects or prevent their flight. It cannot try the accused, and it cannot punish them.

The one thing the lying Democrats have right is that this “memo” was created by the GOP staff alone. IF the memo could deliver justice, I wouldn’t care about that, but it can’t, and it won’t.

As such, it will become a source of endless partisan wrangling and will deflect attention from the underlying facts.

If Sessions can’t do the job, he should be fired. But taking care that the laws are faithfully exceuted is Trump’s job at the end of the day. It’s not Devin Nunes’ job.

If Trump wants to stay in office, he’s better get busy using all the forces at his disposal, including force if necessary.

How can Kelley change a product of the Congress?

This is a coverup, and the American People
want JUSTICE, and not more trysts-treason-and sedition.

This memo is the only document in Washington that the press DOESN’T want leaked or made public. That says a lot. National security concerns? When did they ever care about THAT?

I call B.S. on that report.

How does the White House Chief of Staff make changes to a memorandum drafted by a Congressional committee?

If there is any truth to what Lou Dobbs reported, Kelly needs to go.

It’s not his place to make any changes to the memo or take orders from the jack boots at the Eff Bee Eye.

Kelly works for President Trump, not the corrupt dirtbags at the J. Edgar Hoover building.

Why would Trump ‘not’ allow some information to come public that would basically exonerate him and point out malfeasance against many of the investigators that started all of this bogus Russia/Trump collusion narrative? And while the MSM has simmered a bit on the whole Trump campaign colluding story of late .........they still bring it up as an overall point that Trump is under investigation. Why would he not be thrilled to get that fake target off his back?
