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.
What the hell is John Kelly doing?
Whatever it was, it backfired on Kelly, and as a result, the White House,
because the FBI still released a statement of omissions.
P.S.
Who is running the country.
John Kelly and the Deep State or Donald J. Trump?
I do not TRUST John Kelly 100%!! TRUMP shouldn’t either!
More FBI dirty tricks. The WH should therefore now release the memo *as originally written* tonight! F**k the FBI! This issue is already starting to overshadow the SOTU anyway, and not in a good way.
Is it Kelly’s memo to change? I thought it was a congressional memo.
I doubt this is true. Nunes would certainly be informed about such changes and he would have to see them before the memo is released. Nothing can be changed without Nunes’ permission. The House will be the one to release the memo to the public.
Why the hell is Kelly acquiescing to the demands of anyone at Justice or the FBI? He, like all the rest of them works for the President! Who the hell is he to change a single word?
IF Kelly made changes, the committee would have to re-vote. Therefore, I think that story is unlikely.
How can Kelly make changes? I can see making objections but changes? It is not his to change.

...would be great if PDJT released both memos and , “let us decide which is most honest”
“Lou Dobbs reported a few minutes ago that 5 FBI officials met with

WTF? Great...
How does the White House Chief of Staff make changes to a memorandum drafted by a Congressional committee?
“And that John Kelly made changes to the memo.”
Woah! And where would he get THAT right?
From what I gathered about the “FBI statement”, contrary to how it is presented but accurate to how it is carefully worded, it didn’t come from FBI’s spokesman, or any named senior official. Instead, it came from someone in the FBI who was speaking as part of the anti-Trump insurrection within the Bureau.
The “corrections” are probably relatively small redactions that won’t change the content of the memo, rather delete a few words that would help bad people avoid justice or harm other, presumably legitimate, investigations.
This is a normal process for declassification, or at least until it is shown to be otherwise, that’s what it sounds like. If people in the media are spinning it, it is because they are either confused themselves, or less charitably, trying to legitimize the insurrection.
This can't be true. The White House was not supposed to see the memo until the committee voted to release it. And once they voted there would need to be another vote if changes were made after the vote.
So this is preposterous.
It is a memo from the House Intel Committee. It is not for the WH to edit it. They would have to make requests of the House Intel Committee chairman (Rep. Nunes) and delay the whole process. I seriously doubt that Nunes & colleagues are going to let this thing be delayed beyond the 5 day window which the WH has for review.
I've always suspected he was part of the Deep State. Both he and Herbert McMaster are two peas in a pod. Neither is loyal to President Trump. Their first loyalty is to the Deep State.
Therefore we will never see the real memo.
I knew it had to be very bad after seeing Pelosi just falling apart hugely on CNN with Cuomo. Worst I have ever seen her. She used the words "national security" at least 5 times.
Whatever was huge in it is not gonna get to us, I am thinking.
Pattern this time - FBI requests a meeting and review. FBI gets meeting, review, and has a voice. FBI uses that voice to request certain parts of memo be removed. FBI tells the press that the memo is misleading because certain material is omitted (the material that the FBI requested be removed).
Keep it up FBI. The more you play, the more you prove you are snakes.
Sorry, but it ain't Kelly's memo to make changes to and I suspect some folks are, once again, having difficulty getting their facts aligned with their story.
If the Kelly White House changes the Memo, then to hell with them.
