Discussion: GOP Rep. Says House Intel Memo Isn't A 'Smoking Gun'

Trump’s tax returns when we finally get to see them.

Or, as Boehner put it, “legislative terrorist” Rep. Jordan.

The House needs to take up legislation to legalize treason, espionage, money laundering and selling of national security and military secrets.

Of course it isn’t a smoking gun, it’s barely four pages long.

Oh garbage. You were ALMOST THERE Congressman. You could have shown integrity. You couldn’t take that last step and now you’ll be branded a swishy RINO by your own party for not being rabid but you weren’t a principled critter either.

Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC) has read the anti-FBI memo crafted by the House Intelligence Committee and wants the public to see it, but he told MSNBC Monday night that the memo is not exactly a “smoking gun.”

It’s a Boring Flamethrower!

Here is a question for all of you GOP rat fuckers…why has Ryan allowed Nunez to obstruct the House intelligence committee from day one…If that can’t be addressed, all other questions or inferences are superfluous.

Using wingnut-speak, it’s a nothingburger.

Because Ryan - bought and sold by the Koch brothers - is fully on board with completing the absolute corruption of our government, as long as the cash keeps flowing. Whatever it takes to protect the fiefdom the Republicans are constructing, Ryan is there, smirking and clutching his bible “Atlas Shrugged.”

Smoking gun? They’re following the Benghazi Style Manual.
As JFK once said, “where there’s smoke there’s usually a smoke making machine”.

Yep, and here is the website where you can donate to his opponent, Randy Bryce. And here is the site for Nunes’ opponent, Andrew Janz.
Please be generous! Every $ helps.

Not only do they have information, they convicted Evgeny Buryakov of spying, he did time and was deported from the US. He identified Carter Page as someone he was recruiting. The FISA Warrant on Carter Page was granted well before the Steele Dossier existed or was brought to the attention of the FBI by Steele himself.

So, apparently the GOP is all worked up because Rod Rosenstein applied for an extension of a pre-existing FISA Warrant on Page, after the Steele Dossier was given to the FBI without mentioning that Fusion GPS had been paid by HRC campaign for Trump research after Fusion was initially tasked paid for by the Washington Examiner.

As the Brits might say, Nunes’ Memo is contrived wankery. Fed to him by Ezra Cohen Watnick on his Midnight Run to the WH. As is this whole pretext by Nunes-Trump-the GOP to try and shut down the Russia-Trump Treason Investigation.

Apparently, transparency doesn’t include tax returns when it comes to this White House.

Of course nobody wants to see them or the “Schiff-Democrat” memo - nobody according to the WH.

Well, that would be too much “transparency,” obviously.

Hello Mr. Mark Walker, I imagine all that smoke your fellow henchmen are blowing up you azz is starting to feel pretty uncomfortable.

So lil’ Marky, if you have any functioning gonads, get up and speak your piece on this POS smear campaign. How about it, sucker?

Here is a thought Congressman, if you have questions do what Nunes did not and read the source documents. Answers are probably there but not in memo. I wonder why. Let’s think about it.

The memo reportedly alleges that the FBI did not share that one of the sources cited in the application, Trump dossier author Christopher Steele, was being paid by Democrats.

Well, it’s a good thing then that this is a patently untrue statement.Christopher Steele was being paid by Fusion GPS and, as revealed in the testimony of Glenn Simpson, Steele was given a broad mandate to look into Trump’s international dealings. He was not told, “Democrats in the US want to sink Trump, so make that happen.”

Nevermind, of course, that Fusion GPS’ dossier on Trump was started with funding from GOP operatives.

Also, worst possible case: evidence obtained from FISA-approved surveillance under an improper warrant is, what, inadmissible against Carter Page? Papadopeysmurf and Flynn have already pleaded guilty. Did the Deep State™ force their plea deals due to Democratic party funding of Fusion GPS?

Keep grasping you fuckers. You’re almost out of straws…

However, he cautioned that the memo is not all that shocking.

It’s all they have, dissembling and double-speak. Take those away and they’d have to legislate.
