Trump Blocks Release of Democratic Rebuttal to GOP Probe Memo
Bloomberg, Feb 9, 2018

President Donald Trump on Friday declined to release a House Democratic rebuttal of Republican memo alleging bias and misconduct by the FBI and Justice Department early in their investigation of Russian election interference, Bloomberg News reports.

Trump is unable to do so because it contains “numerous properly classified and sensitive passages,” White House counsel Donald McGahn wrote in a letter to the House Intelligence chairman, Republican Representative Devin Nunes of California. McGahn said the Justice Department concluded that portions of the memo were highly sensitive.

There's nothing there that Schiff and Warner haven't leaked already.

It was all a preplanned setup to fool the morons on the Left. And it will likely work with most of them as CNN and MSNBC, after they finish popping champagne, hammer the issue for weeks to come.

Those sly little dems set it up that way.  It was a trap.  All Trump could do was either heavily redact it or refuse to release it.

Well of course it does.   The authors of the memo were obviously tasked with crafting it with intentionally included "sensitive" information so that Trump would be forced to block its release.  As usual, the left is so damned obvious and predictable.

Former Bush lawyer: Trump's memo decision was a 'massive strategic miscalculation'

By Avery Anapol - 02/09/18 11:14 PM EST 


A former George W. Bush White House lawyer criticized President Trump’s decision not to allow the release of the House Intelligence Committee Democrats’ memo.

Jami Jaffer, a former lawyer for the Bush White House and clerk for Trump-appointed Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch said Trump’s move was a “massive strategic miscalculation.”

“The White House’s failure to declassify the House Intelligence Committee minority memo – particularly in the face of unanimous bipartisan vote by the committee – represents a massive strategic miscalculation,” Jaffer said, according to Politico.

Because the Dems will claim they were prevented from providing their refuting evidence by Trump. It provides the excuse to continue the charade.

This of course is the proper course of action.

We do not have two governments working here, only one.

A Congressional committee released its findings.  It was not what the title says a "GOP" memo but a memo released by the Committee itself.

And had the President declassified a memo with breaches in security the demonrat sycophants in the media would have been all over him for that.

Relax.  We knew the demonrats had intentionally created a "document" that wouldn't pass security mustard.  The administration is prepared for their "outrage".

In the letter to Nunes the administration has directed the DOJ to work with Congress so the President can approve the memo's release.  Now it's up to Schiffforbrains.

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Trump should release it Sunday morning just after the Sunday Talk shows have started.
