The Democratic rebuttal memo to the Republican House Intelligence Committee memo on alleged government surveillance abuses was released Saturday afternoon.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., acknowledged its release at his appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference, at about 4 p.m.
"It's just posted," he told American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp, quipping that the committee website was probably already crashing due to high traffic.
Democrats say their memo was written as a rebuttal to provide greater context to a Republican memo that was released earlier this month, which outlines abuses by the FBI and the Justice Department against the Trump campaign.
Although the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee voted to make the Democrats memo public earlier this month, President Trump refused to declassify it, citing "significant concerns for the national security and law enforcement interests."

Dems are on defense. Their response/rebuttal consists of mere excuses. I am sick and tired of excuses. Man-up/pull up your big-girl britches and let the light shine.
"What you basically will read in the Democratic memo is they are advocating that it is okay for the FBI and DOJ to use for political dirt paid for by one campaign and use it against the other campaign," [Nunes said]
It is sure to put me to sleep.;-)
How odd. My dogs left a summary of the DIM “memo” on the neighbor’s lawn this morning.
Nothing was.
Schiff’s memo claims Isikoff’s report in Yahoo news gave probable cause but Schiff fails to mention that Isikoff publicly declared that Steele’s Clinton-funded dossier was the source of his report.
Schiff’s memo indicts the people behind it. It is damning to the Clinton camp. They would have been smart to never have released it. What they gain is an insignificant amount of liar-media shoring. But a Special Prosecutor won’t care about the liar-media. Once the SP is involved and gathers evidence, charges of treason. sedition and conspiracy will emerge.

Why are the execs at FOX so unaware of her voice? For that matter, why are they so unaware of most of the female voices on that station? They are fingernails on a chalkboard. I’m going into my fourth month of not viewing any FOX TV show and her voice played a role in that decision. I was tired of all the claptrap anyway - no matter the station - and I haven’t regretted missing one split second! Catherine’s Herridge’s voice is about the only tolerable voice and the demeanor of a real journalist...
I just don’t get why this is so difficult for the administration. Take today’s rat talking points, say it confirms there was no collusion and fire Mueller. But before doing that, announce that the FISA warrants were based on a dossier that was purchased by the DNC and that a special counsel has been named to investigate it.
For special counsel I would go with someone like Guiliani. Just worried that he is too old and not familiar enough with Washington.
He's a liberal democrat. They love LGBTwhatever, and pedos, and perverts.
That's they way they roll.
Pick on the pervert and watch his support grow.
He's from Californication.
They think perversion is GRRRRREAT!
Saturday afternoon release? Trying to keep it low-profile?
Usually, SC is appointed as a reaction to political pressure. This leads to a false impression that appointment of SC is somehow linked to Congress. It's not. The AG can appoint one when the case merits; and the appointment can be done in secret, without even apprising Congress.
> “... is designed to provide the media some rat talking points ...”
Yes.
Schiff is scared that the democrat base will be scattered unless something is provided to counter the Nunes Memo and the Grassley-Graham letter.
So they got their talking points to try and keep their base in line.
But it won’t work.
As soon as a Special Prosecutor is authorized, it’s game over for these creeps.
Bwahaha! Your post aptly expresses my sentiments.
Where’s the beef, Democrats? A simple assertion that you disagree with the majority report is not a rebuttal unless it contains the underlying facts. Yours does not.
Wouldnt it be great if someone leaked the unredacted democratic memo.
Actually, it says the "closely-held investigative team" didn't become aware until September. The implication being that other parts of the FBI may have been aware.
Your link is working at this time.
This is not a small matter. Not a small case.
It will take some time and things will not always be obvious to all.
Trump told us at his inauguration that he is going to return power to the people.
This means gutting the Deep State and the Shadow Government.
Our enemy is on the run but they can still fight back.
Q is telling us what is coming and coming soon.
Q is close to the President...and the President supports Q.
To paraphrase Uncle Joe "Plugs" Biden..."This is a big effin' deal."
What is coming is the equivalent of the Second American Revolution.
There will be some hangings.
Thx Holly.
The Democratic and Republican memos were both written like a closing argument on a death penalty case. A lot of emotion, but different points of view. However, Judith Miller (on fox news) sticks to the points of Trump hasn’t done anything to punish the Russians. I wonder what she wanted him to do - tell Vlad to “cut it out”, but then let him invade another country, like Obama did? She, like her other media friends, do not see the harm that they have personally done to America’s trust of the agencies (or the media itself). (In my opinion)
Even they must not think much of it or they would have waited for a weekday news release, not a Saturday release.
That is even worse than the traditional ‘Friday news dump’.
That is where TV series go to die.
