Ex-DHS chief on releasing Nunes memo: 'This is not the way to run a government'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on Wednesday warned against releasing a GOP-crafted classified memo that purports to show the FBI abused a surveillance program to target the Trump campaign.

“This is not the way to run a government,” Johnson said on MSNBC.

“This is the kind of thing that has to go through a process to make sure everything is considered, to make sure that declassifying information doesn’t institute damage to our relationships with foreign governments or compromise sources and methods or damage national security,” he added.

The House Intelligence Committee voted Monday night on party lines to make public a memo that Republicans say contains evidence the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) were biased against the Trump campaign.
The document reportedly contains allegations the FBI abused a surveillance program to target a Trump campaign official during the 2016 presidential race.

1. NO SH&T!!!

Does anyone in Congress have the authority to de-classify intelligence information/documents?!!!

I worked for many years in the Intelligence Community and it was back-breaking to get ANYTHING declassified!! Even info that was completely harmless, but because it was part of a”bigger picture,” no way!

This memo release is outrageous!!! And quite frankly, IMO, snake-belly low. This is what we have to deal with now? Shameful.

I’m so depressed today. I spent over 25 years working to protect this country. Now, I feel helpless.
