Whistleblowers, Republican congressional members, and some former intelligence officials cite mounting concern that the White House may not release the House Intelligence Committee’s FISA abuse memo as the FBI pushed against plans to make it public based on false allegations that the memo contains information that would harm U.S. national security, sources tell this reporter.
The memo alleges severe abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act by employees of the FBI and Department of Justice but FBI Director Christopher Wray Wednesday warned against the release of the memo issuing a public statement from the FBI that the bureau has “grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.”
The four-page memo is currently under review by the White House National Security Council, as well as with the Director of National Intelligence, according to U.S. officials familiar with the review process. One U.S. official said they were concerned the review is being “slow-rolled in an effort to get President Trump to change his mind about releasing the memo.”

Lou Dobbs told his audience: Our chief correspondent at the White House, John Roberts, telling us that the new version of the memorandum has been altered in some ways by the White House review. Five professional members of the FBI were at the White House to meet with the Chief of Staff John Kelly to got through that.
After learning about this latest development Judicial Watch Chief Investigator Chris Farrell told Lou Dobbs the FBI is threatening the president.
Chris Farrell: Let me boil it down, real simple, the FBI is threatening the President of the United States. They put him in a corner and said we really don’t want you to reveal all the criminality that is going on in the organization… This is a grave threat on the Constitution.
And don't leave out the DOJ.
You really think it would have take that long!?
What on Earth is going on in Washington?
The president should call up a Marine Battalion and send them over to the FBI Building for a clarification.
This is unconscionable
The edits are very minor. For example:
"After reviewing intercepts (see attachments 1101A-1354B) between Hillary Clinton Donald Trump and Vladamir Putin, it became clear that..."
Well done!
The F.I.b.bers don’t get a say in this
POTUS is the head of the Exec Branch not some bureaucrat hack committing felonies.
How did that turn out?
Same information on Hannity. Google was messing with the stream I was watching though. But after Sarah spoke.
Throw a rock into a pack of dogs...
Release the memo, then begin the arrests, trials, and public hangings of the Seditionists.
I’m surprised some judge has not weighed in.
I’m surprised some judge has not weighed in.
Translation: "We're going to jail if you release the memo."
The smell of desperation is in the air.
Grasping at straws to save their necks. The noose is tightening.
Hangings on Tuesdays.
Trials on Wednesdays.
FBI logic: The memo is inaccurate, but releasing it will damage national security.
If it’s such a NOTHINGBURGER why are all these DEMOCRATS Panicked??
