Trump sees Nunes memo as a way to discredit the Russia investigation
The President continues to direct some of his anger toward his Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
In phone calls last night and over the past days, Trump has told friends he believes the memo would expose bias within the agency's top ranks and make it easier for him to argue the Russia investigations are prejudiced against him, according to two sources.
Trump was upset Wednesday in the wake of the FBI's statement challenging the release of the a controversial memo crafted by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee, led by Chairman Devin Nunes, a Trump ally. The statement was issued just hours after the President made clear he wanted the document public.
White House aides and advisers expect a decision from Trump on whether to release the controversial memo on Thursday, an official tells CNN, but the President has already made clear he is inclined to approve the document's release.

He also has the entirety of the Republican members of Congress backing him...and soon the US military will be swearing allegiance to Der Fuhrer, as he pisses on the Constitution!!!

Trading off so he can destroy this countries social safety nets.
He sees all and knows all.
All to take away a poor old lady's SSI or a child's health care.

This treasonous sack of feces and and his fucking toadies have made me reconsider my opposition to capital punishment. I'm torn between wanting to seeing the whole lot of them rot for the rest of their miserable lives behind bars, or seeing them put in front of a firing squad. They are a waste of our air, water, and other valuable resources.

(63,919 posts)this is the systematic dismantling of the US government, he is doing what Putin and others are instructing him to do, while lying to the American people saying we are the best, and all of that shit he is spewing.
He is not a well man at all mentally delusional paranoid and everything else negative he embodies. Just a very hateful ???? shell.

(4,407 posts)like Kelly, McMaster and Mattis who sit idly by while their traitor-in-chief compromises the intelligence and security apparatus of the U.S., are nothing more than self-serving lackeys. Makes me wonder how many of our military leaders are nothing but self-interested lowlifes.

(38,439 posts)Who has more veracity?....Trump or the FBI..?
Whatever he says against the FBI, would likely backfire. All people will do is accuse Trump of lying and trying to destroy an agency that has some people who are critical of him. The more effort that Trump puts into trying to hurt or destroy the FBI, the more he hurts and destroys himself.
and yes...............................He is that stupid....................

(5,586 posts)The President has the legal authority to de-classify anything he wants.
If Mueller recommends articles of impeachment (which i personally still think is unlikely), be prepared for all kinds of things to come out. If Fusion GPS was anywhere in the FISA warrant, I would expect the whole thing to be "leaked" or "declassified." That might be enough for Republicans to label it a partisan witch-hunt and ignore any recommendations from Mueller and his staff.
And unless you think we can get 30ish Republicans in the Senate to go along with impeachment, it's a lost cause.
