Full of Shiff: Democrat Claims Memo Was Altered. Here's What Actually Happened
Daily Caller ^ | 2/1/18 | RYAN SAAVEDRA

Posted on 02/01/2018 6:32:29 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

..... Schiff accused Republicans of altering a GOP memo that allegedly shows FBI surveillance abuses before they sent the memo to the White House without getting the changes approved by the committee....

There's just one problem with Schiff's story: It appears to be overblown, deceptive, and a desperate attempt to stop the memo...

Byron York, a columnist for the Washington Examiner, spoke with sources on the committee who gave insight into the changes that were supposedly made to memo. York tweeted: "Just talked with House Intel source. Said total changes to memo were: A) Unknown number of 'grammatical and clarifying' fixes. B) One change requested by FBI due to sources & methods concerns. C) One two-word change requested by Democrats for accuracy."

In addition to lamely attempting to challenge the veracity of the memo, I suggest schiff refrain from sticking his fingers into light sockets before his eyes explode from their orbits.

Be cool if DJT told the agencies that want to comment that they have the right to remain silent, and anything they do say will be used against them in court.

It's possible that release is being delayed to maximize exposure. SOTU is still main political story today; WH probably does not want to step on that. Tomorrow is Friday - generally considered THE release day for stuff one wants to bury - and it is the run up to Super Bowl.

Pragmatic day to release may be next Monday or Tuesday.

Not even a plausible lie. They are all out of new lies and can’t think up something new.

Like I've been saying - nothing more than what foot notes would be - ironic the Dems requested some "clarifying" edits and then use it to scream about modifications....

It's not obstruction when you're the majority; it's controlling the agenda.

As long as the 60 vote cloture rule is in effect the majority will never control the agenda, at least not unless you are as ruthless as Dingy Harry was.

Truth is a lot of those Republicans would vote against conservative measures if they weren't let off the hook by the 60 vote rule. Which is why Mitch won't bring that up, besides I doubt if he could get 50 votes even though the first time the Democrats get the majority again they will kill it for sure.

You're making my point.

As much as McConnell is unwilling to use the power of the majority as Democrats did, he was equally unwilling to use the power of the minority, as Democrats are.

"Why give them this advantage????"

I think the answer always comes back to Republicans secretly love the perks of big government just as much as democrats so they don't really want to prosecute or have any actual accountability. They just want to score political points which will win them more votes. So every time something comes up that would burn democrats and government criminals the Republicans tip there hand and delay for the very reason of letting the democrats prepare their defense.

I don't believe there are many Republicans that truly understand this is something that cannot be used for political points then just swept under the rug. The Republic and the American people are in grave danger.

If the FBI, Hillary Clinton and the many other government criminals don't see jail time they will be back. The next time they will be even more bold and will have no fear of doing anything to usurp power from the people and in turn will do anything imaginable to retain that power. History is full of examples of what happens after these kinds of people take over.

I agree. Releasing this after Super Bowl would make sense.

I'll have to find that link on another thread. I forget the name of the hotel.

It is in Schiff's district. It is well known as a place where rampant sex abuse occurs etc. etc. and the research into it has gotten far enough along that it's fairly clear that Schiff has to be connected to it but they haven't uncovered clear and certain facts proving that, yet.
