They need to get a new byline.. Luckily, we have THE MEMO AND FISA WARRANT
Desperate for fake news, are you? The Russian collusion getting to be too much in your peripheral? Lol reality is a pain sometimes.
No KIDDING...
When known Russian government Twitter accounts are PUSHING this "memo" story....you have to wonder why Russia is so SUPPORTIVE of Nunes...

They are just going to dig in. Repubs need to get smarter about the information war we are actively fighting. They weaponize this paranoid BS, but their real evil is truly convincing those who espouse it.
We are seeing weaponized hate, weaponized information and dirty politics coalesce into the face of the new far-left. Those vectoring these information weapons are direct albeit unwitting participants in this effort. No amount of logical reason seems to get through (ie: where is all the evidence they always mention? Not one of them can answer it)

You're putting a bunch of false words and ideas out there. Point in fact, no one made any of the above statements/claims.
We don't care because we know they aren't "Russian bots." Just as the left was quick to label everyone in Charolettsville as alt-right, when 90%+ were actually religious rights activists.
Once again, this is part of the effort. Mass-generalization. Mass-hysteria. You are acting as though there is some impending threat that we are just idly watching slip by.
There is no threat from any Russia-info BS. They do it 24/7/365, just as 100 other countries do to us daily. It is standard operating procedure for national intelligence agencies to do this, including influencing public opinion to affect their foreign and domestic policy. This is no different than lobby groups or DC foreign interests, it is just conducted via different means (but arguably both dishonest).
The US also does this to virtually every single country, in fact we engage in "regime change" (aka coup) against any country we feel like.
Their effort to tie this into Trump is absolutely ludicrous. Which is precisely why no evidence has been produced implicating him in any wrong-doing. No evidence has been produced implicating "Russia" in any DNC attack either, and I challenge you to produce otherwise.

Feinstein's release wasn't classified information as far as I know. The memo is alleged to be.
It's not that they don't want to release it, it's that they by law cannot until it is declassified.

I was waiting for someone to bite.
The Memo is classified because it is based in truth upon
classified Documents from the FBI and DOJ.
And yes, it can be released with few redactions.

This has been discussed in previous pages. There is no comparison to Feinstein.
Someone would be breaking federal law if they arbitrarily released it (other than perhaps the President). There is a process to follow to do any redaction or declassification.

My main point was that The Memo is real and
based in fact upon classified documents from
the FBI and DOJ. The reason this is important
is some members are calling it fake, and BS.
Aside from that, sneaky Dianne did not follow procedure.
Neither did Manning. Apparently for some people
there are acceptable ways to break the law.

Again, Feinstein did not release a classified document, so far as I am aware.
Her actions may be damaging in so much as it discourages witness testimony, but the action is not illegal.
Arbitrarily, releasing classified documents, like Manning did, is illegal.
