‘Spurious Objections' ‐ Devin Nunes Slams FBI, DOJ For Objecting To Surveillance Memo's Release
2018-02-01
[Daily Caller] California Rep. Devin Nunes released a statement Wednesday on the FBI and Justice Department’s objections to releasing a classified memo detailing alleged surveillance abuse.

"Having stonewalled Congress’ demands for information for nearly a year, it’s no surprise to see the FBI and DOJ issue spurious objections to allowing the American people to see information related to surveillance abuses at these agencies," the statement said.

"The FBI is intimately familiar with ’material omissions’ with respect to their presentations to both Congress and the courts, and they are welcome to make public, to the greatest extent possible, all the information they have on these abuses."

The statement continued, "Regardless, it’s clear that top officials used unverified information in a court document to fuel a counter-intelligence investigation during an American political campaign. Once the truth gets out, we can begin taking steps to ensure our intelligence agencies and courts are never misused like this again."

#12  If Brennan and the Klingons out-sourced the signals collection effort on Trump Towers to the British Intelligence, it sure would be of interest. Perhaps that's what everyone keeps referring to as 'sources and methods.'

#11  Not likely that much will be news to us here. But out there in Mainstream Media world, this will be a shocker.

#10  I have serious doubts about the memo as well. It's a Republican written memo, not some clue found at the scene of the crime. It likely connects dots we at Rantburg already know about.

#9  Release the damn memo. We've got 2018 midterm elections to soon vote in. We need the info.

#8  As to the "changes" Adam Schiff is claiming were done in secret Byron York tweets this, "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."

#7  I believe this is all a scrimmage before the DoJ IG report is released...that is when the screaming starts...the critters in the DoJ and FBI will want the IG report classified and prevent its release.

It appears the searchlights are being turned on.

#6  They don't fear the 4 page report. They fear the appointment of a Special Counsel, the legitimate investigation demanded by the Forgotten Man, and the indictments.

#5  That is what has me worried Skid. There really won't be much of a smoking gun. All circumstantial.

Still... with the amount of smoke and panic from the left it gives me hope.

#4  I expect that many of us will be disappointed when we find that the content is more innuendo than actionable fact.

#3  Domino effect.

FISA, Clinton emails and off-site servers, Wasserman-Schultz and her DNC's IT people, Huma, Lynch, Valjar, Comey, McCabe, Brennan, Slick Willie, and Soetoro.... all dominos.

The left and many others in the Swamp have much to lose.

#2  ...Man, given the screaming that's come from the other side of the aisle over this, I'm starting to believe that it's going to be really, really bad.

Add to the memo kerfluffle that a record number of Congresscritters have decided 'to spend more time with their families' and I'm beginning to suspect that we're about to be living in those interesting times the old Chinese curse mentions.

#1  This fellow Nunes may be discovered to be almost singularly responsible for saving the Republic.
