WH Helped Draft GOP Memo - CNN

Last edited Wed Jan 31, 2018, 02:03 PM - Edit history (1)

I didn't see this posted yet. My apologies if this has already been covered.

Watching CNN about an hour ago. House member of Judicial Committee (didn't catch his name) stated that the GOP memo drafted by Nunes and about to be released was partially written by the White House.

This seems pretty big if it is true.

Anyone else see this?

-P

ON EDIT: I suppose that it is just another day in the times of Trump.

ON EDIT 2: Upon further thought... We all know that the FBI has nearly begged Nunes NOT to release the memo because it contains sensitive information. I could see the members of the House Judicial Committee hesitating. However, if the WH is involved, this means that Trump is involved. If that's the case, Trump has no qualms about exposing sensitive material if it will assist in saving him. The point here is that this explains why the memo would be released and so quickly. Remember the hot mic last night?

and most of the Democrats would be falling all over themselves to impeach even more fervently than Republicans just to prove they're not weak on crime.

I saw a post earlier at DU that Rachel Maddow was asking whether the White House had been helping Rep. Nunes with his homework. I replied that it seemed like a really good question that the popular media might want to have answered before haring off on another Nunes/White House circle jerk. And look at that!

Good on CNN for doing a little research ahead of the latest "bombshell."
