I'm realizing I'm not saying much
about what's going on with the
whole Memogate and Textgate
thing. It's just so huge, so many
members of congress involved
now, so much collusion between
the DOJ, FBI and Obama to stop
Trump and elect Her. It's beyond
mind blowing, the arrogance and
hubris of Her supporters. Makes
Watergate look like a joke, the
scope of this thing is so huge.

"Andrew Napolitano: Wrong to Keep Mass Surveillance Memo Secret
written by adam dick tuesday january 23, 2018
What is the deal with a memorandum by Republican employees at the Intelligence Committee of the United States House of Representatives that allegedly demonstrates very disturbing use of surveillance power through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court not being publicized or shared widely among Congress members until shortly after legislation (S 139) to extend legal authority for such surveillance for six years cleared the Congress? If the memorandum provides as disturbing of revelations as some Congress members are claiming, every House and Senate member, and the American people too, being able to review it before congressional votes on the bill could have had significant consequences."

I don't think it will rise to the level of Watergate, but I do think it will be extremely bad for the Democrat party. It is hard to imagine a group looking less trustworthy than Trump, but the Democrats may have found a way......

You are most definitely not one of the more "non-partisan" members I was referencing.

Today the Trans-Pacific partnership was concluded under Canadian leadership. The deal excludes the US, as the guy who said he was the president took his ball and went home.

If you think, as Shithole Trump does, that the deal was "bad," you'll be surprised what it will be like when you try to join it later.

I voted for neither Trump nor Clinton. I have made a donation to a local Democrat running for office. I am not 'a strong supporter of a party, cause, or person'. I have slants that are clearly 'Republican' (individual responsibility, smaller government) and those that are clearly 'Democrat' ( pro abortion rights, separation of church and state). Who on the forum is more non-partisan than me?

I'll have to look up what "the memo" is before I render an opinion.

Apparently the Republicans could read the non-classified parts on the floor of congress at will.

They just make excuses why they won't.

Donald can declassify anything he wants to.

There is a reason the GOP won't release the memo they desperately pretend they want released....
