The long-simmering feud between President Trump and the Justice Department erupted into open conflict Wednesday when the FBI publicly challenged the president’s expected release of a contentious and classified memo related to the probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
In a rare unsigned statement, the FBI cited “grave concerns” with inaccuracies and omissions in the four-page memo, which was written by House Republicans and alleges abuses at the Justice Department connected to secret surveillance orders. Trump has told advisers that the memo could benefit him by undercutting the special counsel’s investigation and allow him to oust senior Justice Department officials — and that he wants it released soon, something that could happen as early as Thursday.
“We have grave concerns about the material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy,” the FBI said.
The extraordinary statement pits the nation’s top federal law enforcement agency against a commander in chief who already has fired one FBI director and has repeatedly expressed a desire to remove the attorney general and others connected to the Russia investigation. That probe, led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, is aimed in part at determining whether any Trump associates coordinated with Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election and investigating any related issues.

It has to do with blatant lying to a judge to get a phony warrent to spy on the republican campagn with phone taps. Sessions needs to get his ass in gear!! There is no “russian collusion”. This is way beyond that!!
WaPoo is just making this up ... unsigned statement ... all anonymously sourced or not sourced at all ... stated as FACT ... total fake news ... the specialty of WaPoo ...
The Washington Post benefits from corrupt liberal thugs feeding the paper ‘ insider leaks’. Research that’s done on the taxpayers dime but the Post gets free stories. Maybe there’s three so they can share the shame in a few years when all this crap is outed.
I wouldn’t be surprised to eventually find for all intents and purposes that Obama’s core shadow presidency is actually the FBI.
Just release the memo and all this noise goes away.
The statement is on the FBI’s webpage.

Now Schiff is apparently claiming that since the document as changed - at FBI request- it’s not “the same” and needs to be revoted on...Did I hear that right? Why would he think sending it back to congress would turn out any differently the second time around?
Does he think the run in today between the train and trash truck might scare some into flipping their votes?
If Wray was shocked then he hasn’t been paying attention to what’s been going on the last 8 years under the O’muslim regime. I’m not buying it. That’s for sure.
Pelosi:”we need to release the memo so we can find out what is in it.”
“Who is the REAL Director of FBI now”

I think the top FBI people are in CYA panic mode, I figure in a week from now nobody will want to admit to being in charge.
Newt Gingrich was on fire on Hannity today.
4:49: “The elite media is part of the deep state. The elite media group has survived by being in collusion with the senior bureaucracy, the city of Washington, the senior reporters, the senior bureaucrats, the senior lobbyists, they all hang out together, they all talk to each other, they all compare notes.”
6:28: “The elite media in the United States is not neutral. They’re not referees. They’re the offensive wing of the other team. You saw this in some of the clips you had, some of which are frankly outrageously anti-Trump in a way that is almost bizarre. These are folks who are so deeply hostile to what Donald Trump is trying to accomplish that they are fully as much a part of the opposition as is Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer and that’s part of why you’re getting this unbelievably biased coverage.”

Two of the changes were requested by the Dems themselves!
Oh Bezos’ blog of bull.
It’s time to shove it up their rear ends. The Swamp crying with their panties wadded up is getting to epic levels LoL. Give them what they want release all and everything.
Did McCabe smuggle out some FBI letterhead in his underwear?
So they have the guy named as a co-conspirator with Fusion GPS as an author of this article? And they expect us to take it seriously as anything but a panic defense of a freshly caught red-handed perp?
Exactly! The President is the ultimate authority and may declassify anything he so desires. He does not need to vet it through anyone.
This is so critical to our nation as a constitutional republic that it should not be redacted at all. We, the People, must see the entire memo/summary as we have been directly attacked by agencies within our own government.
I wonder if anything in the memo would allow Sessions to un-recuse himself and get back to work.
Sessions hasn’t commented on the Memo for a good reason, he is a traitorous cowering backstabbing MF.
I saw a quick glimpse of him at the SOTU last night and I swear he is senile. He is nothing more than the titular head of the DOJ and all the Obama and GOPe swamp creatures are running the entire operation.
I do not believe for one second that he is doing great things behind the curtains. He is/was part of the swamp and he is taking up space and our tax money for his paycheck while the un-American, corrupt to the core, swamp creatures try to maintain their power and pull the wool over our eyes.
