Rep. Beyer (D-Va): I read both memos. It's obvious the goals of the Nunes memo are all political.

Tweeted by Don Beyer minutes ago, in response to Jeremy Diamond's tweet about Trump telling associates he thinks the Nunes memo will discredit the Russia investigation:






I read both memos. It's obvious that the goals of the Nunes memo are all political.

Now Donald Trump is admitting it behind closed doors.

If the Mueller investigation were just a "witch hunt," would we be seeing such full-blown panic from Trump and House Republicans?

If that doesn't happen, say goodbye to democracy as we know it.

It will be easy to point out their bias.

there would have been no need to block the Democratic rebuttal memo. Heck, they likely would not have needed to create a rebuttal memo.

The Pres will only declassify the twisted memo and the Security apparatus doesn't want ANY of it out there..

the actual memo wording should be compared side-by-side, and then Americans will clearly see the partisan bent to the Nunes memo. A plain and simple hatchet job.

following, and I can't understand it, I don't think any of us can. However, I think logic and right will still win in the long run, there are too many people out there that are truly for the good of this country, and I think perhaps we'll see more of it during the next several days or so w/ the FBI and others.

Take care...

Which is why we are seeing moves similar to the defense of Pablo Escobar Gaviria.

And it ain't about Russian interference in the election . . . it's decades of Trump money laundering for the Russian mob about to be exposed.
