Anybody Out There Thinking That The FBI Really Wants This Memo To Come Out?......

[global1]

I'm thinking that this is a reverse psychology thingy going on. This memo is so filled with unbelievable info that if the Repugs and the WH release this memo it is going to make Trump and the Repugs look really silly.

But Trump and the Repugs - thinking that they have the FBI and Mueller over the barrel with this memo - just has to release this memo and make it public.

Once it becomes public - the FBI and the MSM will discredit the memo and point out all the silly inconsistencies - that it will backfire on Trump and the Repugs.

This ought to be fun to watch.

1. Whatever happens there's sure to be a

twist at the end, or twisted ending.

2. One can only hope

But sadly hope frequently gets us nowhere.

3. At this point there's really no telling what's going on.

4. I have decided thats true

I think even Schiff wants it to come out his protest seems theatrical

[woodsprite]

5. Maybe he wants it to come out so he can release the Dem rebuttal memo. n/t

16. It was!

Well played Schiff

6. Which is why AFTER the committee approved releasing it NUNES changed the fucking

thing, it looked too crazy

7. I think you are making two very serious assumptions

1. That the tRump supporters (Republicans) will agree that it is ridiculous.
2. That the media will discredit the memo.

I have seen nothing in the last 20 years to support either of those assumptions.

9. In my honest opinion

I’m not sure what’s up with all of this, but I have to think that Mueller is too smart, & methodical to not have several back up plans to counter attack what they throw his way. He has been a silent man about everything, they are the ones you have to watch. My money is on him & his team...they’re ready for the storm.

10. No they don't want it coming out. This is serious shit that they are doing with releasing it.

They are saying that it will be hard to rebut without they themselves revealing classified info. So in the end..NO the FBI does not want this bullshit coming out under any circumstances. Congress is violating the trust that they share w/ the FBI and this is very damaging.

12. +1

11. There will be FBI resignations if this memo is released

13. No. I think the memo gives away even if silently means and methods

that our intelligence services don't want generally known.

And if it doesn't, it probably raises questions that will cause the public to fabricate a lot of crazy theories about the means and methods used to determine who gets wiretapped.

In any case, I think it will cause people to stop and think about why Trump was close at all to a person who worked on his campaign in a responsible position and who was subject not to just one but to two wiretaps having to do with Russian espionage.

This is not going to help Trump. It may at first, but then when people think about it, I bet the whole Republican scheme in writing and releasing this memo backfires bigtime on them.

Meanwhile, we have an election in November to win. And it's offering a chance to unseat Nunez. Who is running against him?

14. no matter how ridiculous trump supporters will believe it

and threaten lives over it

15. Under the Law Disproven Pretextual Reasons for Actions are Evidence of Bad Intent or Motive

...I've had the feeling that this is going to end up badly for the Republicans when their story falls apart

17. thought about this yesterday - could this be a Schiff-setup

The strategy was to create a scenario where the R's really thought they had the D's by the b***s . . . go on cable many times claiming the whole memo was unfair etc. The R's would respond by insisting on it's disclosure sniffing a major political victory.

It gets out in the public, the public sees the memo for what it is - nothing. The GOP suffers for the failed partisan attack
