Discussion: Officials: Memo Release Harms Trust Between Intel Agencies And Congress

The contract between intelligence agencies and the House intelligence committee is broken, he warned. (CA Rep. Adam Schiff-D)

Everything – everything – Donald touches, he breaks.

(In this case, it’s by design)

Who would want the intelligence agencies weakened? Cui Bono?

Someone should give Nunes a copy of All the Presidents Men
It will give him a quick refresher on what happened to all Nixon’s co-conspirators.
While Nixon was impeached and disgraced , they all did hard time.

Well, duh. Anyone with half a functioning brain cell would know this would be an outcome.

Oh, wait. Sorry. Never mind.

All this Republican apologists had the perfect time 4 weeks ago to debate the issues that concern them but what did they do, they voted to reauthorize the FISA bill. The irony was Trump tweeted against reauthorization.

Wrap your ahead around this simple concept…The GOP is irretrievably corrupt and broken…They do not care about security,solutions, governance or America.

It’s AP, so the real problem is that the democrats might do something similar if they get in power.

as millennials would say, np.

And I’d guess this is mostly about Donald and his folks getting used by the Russians rather than any real co-conspiracy since Donald and company are too fucking stupid. Although the claims of Donald doing a lot of business shit like getting kickbacks in other countries like China seem strange. What the hell is he doing in China? Maybe that I don’t feel like there’s much talk of that shows that attention was being distracted by the Russia shit.

because…Kompromat

Carter Page in ABC morning show today seemed like a complete fuckin idiot.

Folks, we need you to run for office. We’ve got a pack of conniving scoundrels in Congress who do NOT have our best interests at heart. Well, we knew this was going to happen, so…

Run for office- and run FOR something! Don’t just run against Trump. You’ll either be preaching to the choir or confirming, in some people’s minds, that all ‘librals’ are out to get their man.

Don’t just run on lofty campaign ideals, either- get REAL specific. You want to run on jobs or healthcare reform or the new landfill? You must have a plan. THEN you can point out the difference between having a plan and promising to work on a plan sometime in the future.

Remember 7 years of promises to ‘repeal and replace’? Turns out they didn’t have a plan and rushed to a secret hidey hole for 2 whole weeks, cobbling together a 2-legged tripod.

Do better than this. PLEASE! Run for office!

Not limited to just the US IC either, every agency in the world will now hesitate before sharing intelligence with us where before they didn’t. Nunes and Trump have isolated the US from the rest of the world and it’s a danger to all of us, one that is very easily solved if the GOP cared at all about this country, the constitution or the people in it, more than themselves.
