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 Democrat’s memo public earlier this month, President Trump refused to declassify it, citing "significant concerns for the national security and law enforcement interests."

“So they had other troubling issues that required investigation, such as the issues surrounding the FBIs paid stooge Page who was posing as Trump campaign official.”
Exactly
“I cut the sound off when Tarlov comes on. She is unbearable.”
The wife and I call her squeaky voice.
Just turned on CNN. The anchor was talking about how Nunes’ memo was “poorly written” and mentioned “conspiracy theories.” She was saying that the dossier was only one of many pieces of evidence used to obtain the warrant to spy on Trump’s associates. She also pointed out that it was renewed several times. Some of this is contrary to what’s been reported. If the underlying documents show what she’s saying to be false, will she and the rest at CNN cover the facts or will they embarrass themselves?
Now the male anchor is reporting that Schiff is saying the redactions to the Dem memo are not to protect sources and methods but are hiding facts. The female anchor just talked about Schiff as supporting the Justice Department as “not politicized and staffed by professionals” or words very similar to that.
Catherine Herridge pointed out a claim in the Dems’ memo that is at odds with Comey’s testimony. I don’t remember exactly what it was.
The people need the FACTS.
It looks like obfuscation all over the place.
This thing is going to get easily picked apart.
Does the Demonicrat rebuttal come with a roll of toilet paper... or is it already on the toilet paper?
Pg. 2 of the Schiff memo claims that the FBI only became aware of the contents of the Steele dossier in September 2016. That appears to be a lie. My understanding is that Steele was feeding this info to the FBI as he produced it. The FBI was aware of elements of what eventually became the dossier from June/July 2016.
The Schiff memo has one piece of real news: again on pg. 2 the memo claims that by September 2016, the FBI had “...opened sub-inquiries into [redacted] individuals linked to the Trump campaign: [redacted - but apparently naming those individuals]...and Carter Page.”
If the FBI was spying on multiple members of the Trump campaign, the FBI needs to name those people and explain why.
FBI offered and agreed to pay for it, then rescinded the offer before payment was tendered.
I will watch Judge Porto tonight to see what you he facts are.
Chewbacca defense combined with underpants gnome.
Nunes is one of the best. Just think how our country would be if all, or even more, of our representatives were statesmen like Nunes.
Most rats either don’t know how to read or can’t be bothered to read this memo. It’s kind of “old” news now and nobody really cares what Schiff has to say.
I'd settle for fundamental honesty and basic constitutional civics.
“...ever since the Republican memo was released, have the Democrats/Propagandists ever revealed what part of it was a threat to national security? “
The Nunes memo didn’t threaten national security, but it did reveal the sources and methods of the Deep State.
I started reading it, but eyes glazed over, so I have to no comment on this one.
The White House released an immediate counter-rebuttal.
“This politically driven document fails to answer serious concerns,” said White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders. “The Minority’s memo fails to even address the fact that the Deputy FBI Director told the Committee that had it not been for the dossier, no surveillance order would have been sought.”
I went to the web site. Look in the primary message from Nunez. There are three links to a quick, responsed, and full detail of the memo.
