Top House Intel Dem accuses Devin Nunes of altering memo sent to White House
Washington Times ^ | 1/31/18 | Victor Morton

Posted on 01/31/2018 7:52:48 PM PST by markomalley

The top Democrat on the House intelligence committee publicly accused the panel’s Republican chairman Wednesday evening of secretly altering a classified report that the committee had approved for release.

In a letter to Chairman Devin Nunes of California that he later posted on Twitter, Rep. Adam Schiff of California said that the panel’s Democrats had just learned that evening that the memo sent to the White House for Justice and national-security officials to review was not the same document the committee had voted on.

“It is clear that the [Republican] Majority made material changes to the version it sent to the White House, which Committee members were never apprised of,” Mr. Schiff’s letter said.

“White House [is] therefore reviewing a document the Committee has not approved for release,” Mr. Schiff wrote on Twitter.

His tweet accused Mr. Nunes personally of making the “deeply troubling” changes, though his letter is less specific.

Schiff is probably the one altering documents, what a spiteful desperate POS.

Who leaked the earlier story about the 5 FBI agents changing the memo? Shiffty is step #2, the hack judge ruling on the legality step 3.

If Adam Schiff issued a proclamation that the sun rises in the East I wouldn’t believe it unless I could get two reliable sources to confirm it.

As stated in the other post how would Schiff know if the memo has been altered?

I read the entire WT article. Absolutely no mention of Nunes' reaction to the charges. Not even the obligatory, "Chairman Nunes was not immediately available for comment" or "... did not immediately respond to our request for comment" or the like.

It's now 11PM in DC, and the WT and other news outlets appear to be just copy/pasting the twitter feed of Schiffless with nothing new of their own to add in, and not an iota of verification or debunking .... just .... nothing. Does anyone know what time exactly this latest accusation first appeared?

Welcome to the 21st Century News Cycle.

How would you like to have your face altered Adam? It would definitely be an improvement.

[...the hack judge ruling on the legality step 3.”

While the hubris of the court never ceases to amaze me, they are loathe to delve in the political middle of the other two co-equal branches.

I think the courts will pass on this one. Lord knows, nobody that’s not already involved in the stench of this corruption, wants to get any of it on them....

Adam Schiff, 3rd grade.

I didn’t put that answer down. Somebody must have changed it...

It’s a simple legal issue. Under the Constitution each house makes its own rules. The Courts have no role, and no one has standing because a dispute over the rules of a house of the congress is for that house to resolve and there is no case or controversy under the laws of the US.

This is a big lie to try and say THIS HAS BEEN ALTERED for when the memo is released. Release the damned thing before the effing liars and corrupt pigs on the left are allowed to set the narrative. WTF ya’ waiting for anyway?

"Top House Intel Dem accuses Devin Nunes of altering memo sent to White House"

"Accuses!" That's much better, markomalley. Several other posts made the claim that the fake story is true.

So yes, it's only Schiff. And he's hysterical, as are many of his bureaucratic clerical friends tonight. What do they expect to accomplish with the noise on blogs and discussion boards except that they might see the real Memo released even sooner?

So, allegedly, five FBI agents charged into the White House and *changed* the memo. And yet Schiff-less thinks it was Nunes that changed the memo before it even got to the White House. Well, even a top secret memo like this surely has a backup copy somewhere. Let’s have Nunes produce that and then we’ll know which one is lying.

Republican judges would pass based on their integrity.

Democratic judges? So tempting.

YEP. How dumb to keep talking about this explosive memo then play games with releasing it and let the enemy gather and get a game plan?
