9. The link works now. I just read the whole thing.

The document was originally classified as TOP SECRET/NOFORN, which is a declaration that this Top Secret information not be distributed to any foreign individual, even if that individual has clearance for Top Secret classified material.

The leap from that classification to UNCLASSIFIED is a very large leap, indeed.

13. It's extremly slow to load.

There's several sources now so that should help slow the demand on the main one shortly.

5. false .. the dick head was being surveilled before the pee pee dossier.

10. Yep.

6. Treason for releasing this. America , how nice it was while it lasted

[MGKrebs]

12. Interesting in that McGahn mentions review by "national

security staff", but doesn't refer to their conclusions. Only that "The President" agrees to declassify it.
It would be interesting to see who reviewed it and what their comments were.

14. Cliff Notes? locked in a cube today

15. I'm reading it now. It's so blatantly false and partisan.

They're claiming the DNC and Hillary are entirely behind the Dossier and the court approved the warrant without knowing who funded the Dossier. It never mentions that Republicans initiated funding for the Dossier.

They're claiming Steele was fired by the FBI for horrible violations of law.

They're claiming Carter Page wasn't targeted until the Campaign in 2016, despite a warrant being on him since at last 2013.

They claim the Papadopolous investigation was initiated by Peter Strozk who showed in text message a strong bias against Trump and favorable view of Clinton which is patently false since Strozk's text messages attacked Clinton and Bernie a lot too.


Fox News watchers will be outraged of course, but to any thinking person who follows this stuff, the memo is such an obvious joke.

17. I read it and I have to agree.

I printed a copy for nostalgia sake. Something to show the grandkids someday.

16. If Democracy only had 9 lives, we've lost a couple today. God help us all. The GOP will not stop

until they are the only party to rule. They are nearly there now.

sad.............

[Kentonio]

18. That's it?

That giant pile of nothing is what has dominated Washington all week? Dear lord..

[bigtree]

19. didn't think they'd go ahead with this

...now comes the hard part for them - making this weak sauce into a meal that people will swallow.

...and the fascism thing rolls on, of course.

[herding cats]

20. I'm sure it went out to the RW media with all the proper talking points attached.

Their followers will believe whatever they're told and never lay their actual eyes on the memo for the most part.
