The House Intelligence Committee on Monday evening voted to release the classified memo.

It's about time.


But oh are the democrats jumping out of there skin.

To hear them tell it, it is the worst that could happen. Mr. and Mrs. JQ Public has no say in the matter.

Here is what congressman Adam Scheff said a short time ago.
The vote was announced to reporters by California Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the committee, who called it a “very sad day, I think, in the history of this committee.” The motion passed on a party-line basis," he said.

The four-page memo has been described by GOP lawmakers as “shocking,” “troubling” and “alarming,” with one congressman likening the details to KGB activity in Russia.

Those who have seen the document suggest it reveals what role the unverified anti-Trump "dossier" played in the application for a surveillance warrant on at least one Trump associate.


South Carolina GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy, who helped write the four-page memo, said Sunday he wants it made public.

He also suggested the memo indeed addresses whether the FBI relied at least in part on the dossier -- paid for partially by Democrats and the Clinton campaign during the 2016 presidential election -- to apply to a secret federal court to get a surveillance warrant, purportedly on then-Trump adviser Carter Page.

“If you … want to know whether or not the dossier was used in court proceedings, whether or not it was vetted before it was used. … If you are interested in who paid for the dossier … then, yes, you'll want the memo to come out,” Gowdy told “Fox News Sunday.”

The dossier was compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele and contained opposition research on Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign. Steele was hired by the U.S. firm Fusion GPS, which commissioned the research with funding from the Democratic National Committee and the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. At the same time, the firm was allegedly doing work to help the Russian government fight sanctions.

Requests for surveillance warrants are made through the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, also known as the FISA court, and target suspected foreign spies inside the United States.

Fox News' Joseph Weber and Catherine Herridge contributed to this report.

The document is already in the President's office for decision.... thing is, if he waits for five days, the memo will be declassified and released without him having to take any action on it! President Trump is in a win/win position as is the public.
And it has come out that McCabe was told to take a demotion or resign.... decision was made based on the memo.... this adds creditability to the memo. But, his early "retirement" will not let him off the legal hook if he investigated in a bias manner.

This is all in the link I put into my latest thread an hour or so ago about the vote.

Well, Duh! The top democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said so.

Were that not so, then "human barometer" Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, wouldn’t be working so hard (along with other Democrats and their sycophant mouthpieces in the media and commentariat) to discredit its contents before Americans have even seen it.

“Rep. Adam Schiff has many talents, though few compare to his ability to function as a human barometer of Democratic panic. The greater the level of Schiff hot, pressured air, the more trouble the party knows it’s in,” writes Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberly A. Strassel.

She noted further:

Mr. Schiff’s millibars have been popping ever since the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, on which he is ranking Democrat, last week voted to make a classified GOP memo about FBI election year abuses available to every House member. Mr. Schiff has spit and spun and apoplectically accused his Republican colleagues of everything short of treason. The memo, he insists, is “profoundly misleading,” not to mention “distorted” and “political,” and an attack on the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He initially tried to block his colleagues from reading it. Having failed, he’s now arguing Americans can know the full story only if they see the underlying classified documents.

As time draws near for FISA memo release, Dems are in full-panic mode: What are they afraid of?.

Probably has something to do with a Brazen Plot to Frame Trump

Oh oh, it has just been revealed from at least three sources that Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, who authorized the Special Counsel and appointed Mueller to head it, approved an application to extend covert surveillance of a former Trump campaign associate shortly after taking office last spring. If true, this is about as Soviet as it gets.
