According to House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, the declassified Devin Nunes memo — alleging FBI misconduct in the Russia investigation — is “not an indictment of the FBI, of the Department of Justice.”
According to President Trump, the memo shows how leaders at the FBI “politicized the sacred investigative process in favor of Democrats” and “totally vindicates ‘Trump’ in probe.”
Both men are deluded or deceptive.
Releasing the memo — while suppressing a dissenting assessment from other members of the House Intelligence Committee — was clearly intended to demonstrate that the FBI is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party. The effort ended in a pathetic fizzle. Nunes’s brief, amateurish document failed to demonstrate that FBI surveillance was triggered solely or mainly by a Democratic-funded dossier. But for cherry-picking above and beyond the call of duty, Nunes (R-Calif.) deserves his own exhibit in the hackery hall of fame. This was a true innovation: an intelligence product created and released for the consumption of Fox News.
Trump’s eager publication of the memo was expected. Yet his action crossed a line: from criticism of the FBI to executive action designed to undermine an ongoing investigation. Trump seems to be testing the waters for direct action against the FBI by testing the limits of what his Republican followers will stomach. So far, there are no limits.
With the blessing of Republican leaders, the lickspittle wing of the GOP is now firmly in charge. The existence of reckless partisans such as Nunes is hardly surprising. The nearly uniform cowardice among elected Republicans is staggering. One is left wishing that Obamacare covered spine transplants. The Republican-led Congress is now an adjunct of the White House. The White House is now an adjunct of Trump’s chaotic will.
And what to make of Ryan (R-Wis.)? I have been a consistent defender of his good intentions. But after the 17th time saying “He knows better,” it dawns that he may not. By his recent actions, the speaker has provided political cover for a weakening of the constitutional order. He has been used as a tool while loudly insisting he is not a tool. The way Ryan is headed, history offers two possible verdicts: Either he enabled an autocrat, or he was intimidated by a fool. I believe Ryan to be a good person. But the greatest source of cynicism is not the existence of corrupt people in politics; it is good people who lose their way.
The United States Congress is an institution of great power. According to the Constitution, it can deny jurisdiction to the Supreme Court. It can remove the commander in chief. But now it watches as Trump makes the executive branch his personal fiefdom. It stands by — or cheers — as the president persecutes law enforcement professionals for the performance of their public duties.
Why can’t Republican legislators see the personal damage this might cause? Trump has made a practice of forcing people around him to lower their standards and abandon their ideals before turning against them when their usefulness ends. His servants are sucked dry of integrity and dignity, then thrown away like the rind of a squeezed orange. Who does Trump’s bidding and has his or her reputation enhanced? A generation of Republicans will end up writing memoirs of apology and regret.
The political damage to the GOP as the party of corruption and coverup should be obvious as well. This is a rare case when the rats, rather than deserting a sinking ship, seemed determined to ride it all the way down.
But it is damage to the conscience that is hardest to repair. For Republicans, what seemed like a temporary political compromise is becoming an indelible moral stain. The Russia investigation is revealing a Trump universe in which ethical considerations did not (and do not) figure at all. Who can imagine a senior Trump campaign official — say, Paul Manafort or Donald Trump Jr. — saying the words “That would be wrong”? Their degraded spirit has now invaded the whole GOP. By defending Trump’s transgressions, by justifying his abuses, Republicans are creating an atmosphere in which corruption and cowardice thrive.
How can this course be corrected? “You only have one political death,” said Rep. John Jacob Rhodes, the late Republican congressman from Arizona, “but you can choose when to use it.” Larger showdowns — concerning the possible firings of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein — now seem likely. If there is nothing for which Ryan and other Republican leaders will risk their careers, there is nothing in which they truly believe.
Yeah, I almost spit out breakfast when I saw O'Donnell listed. I don't think J has watched the TV pundits enough to have a valid perspective on the value of their respective opinions.And? Yes those are senators. What evidence do you have to prove that trump is doing what you claim? And please Lawrence O’Donnell?
Please provide the facts other than names and I’m assuming their opinions You might as well include Nancy pelosis opinion and Adam FULLOFShiff
Larry O is a more fertile source for J’s lies than Mika ......perhaps even Girlfriend.Yeah, I almost spit out breakfast when I saw O'Donnell listed. I don't think J has watched the TV pundits enough to have a valid perspective on the value of their respective opinions.

I'll start with Republican Michael Garson. Lindsay Graham, Sen Flake, Sen McCain, Lawrence O'Donnell, Sen Bob Corker.
Larry O is Lenin reincarnate.Larry O is a more fertile source for J’s lies than Mika ......perhaps even Girlfriend.
If I didn't know better, I'd swear you just called J a Democrat.Dealing with him is like watching Groundhog Day.
It's a constant game of changing linguistics, semantics,half truths and outright factual inaccuracies debating him.

Concession acknowledged and noted !!
Nice try. My simple game is to get you to back up your claim which is why you're bailing
You can't name one bipartisan statement you've ever made while calling me partisan
Where did NC understand? He's the one that called you out for your two statements NOT being in agreement. LMFAO
You're out there buddy.
Try to play cute when caught in your own hypocrisy.
Concession acknowledged and noted.

1) You stated vying for the Truth (sic). Hello!
Explained it to you yet you still don't get it. Thick!
2) You backed R Moore and his inappropriate behavior with under aged girls. Proving that you are a jerk.
3) You backed the Nunes' Memo. Showing your partisanship and hypocrisy.
Opinion A) All in All you are a loser. And you bring down the discourse on this Board.
The Topic is the Republicans and their Cowardice regarding Trump's actions.
B) You don't read and don't understand. Can't address the Topic.
C) A clear picture of you has emerged. Partisan who doesn't like someone not agreeing with him, and an intolerant fool.
I don't even read his posts anymore because he doesn't stand behind any of his assertions.
I see nothing but a bunch of words and call him out on his previous inconsistencies.
You can't have a reasonable discussion with someone who has a pathological avoidance of the truth.
His negatives against Republicans are ONLY negatives until Dems do the same thing
And I'm sure you noted after calling me partisan,I asked him 4 times to give me ONE example of a bipartisan statement he's ever made and he deflected,hemmed and hawed.
Said he wasn't playing "my game" which was to just prove his allegation I was partisan but he isn't.
It's ridiculous. Pretty soon you're going to be the only one to engage him because there's at least 5 people who've noticed the same thing as I have
But it's always everyone else lol
Wait till this dude writes a book about Trump ...you’ll strip down and run the streets yelling Eurika
Finish Fire and Fury ?

You fail to see your major short comings. The topic is Republican Cowardice.
It’s a Poll which determines their TrufDespite your lame attempt at leaving out your January 4th post and fudging the context, here's the actual quotes that proved your inconsistencies.
Just as a reminder
"JGregor said: ↑Let's go over this and be clear:Truth is absolute, otherwise it's not the truth. The reasoning to get to the truth is what can be wrong. While justice may not be absolute."
NC PITT :That's quite a change in philosophy from your Jan 4 argument:
JGregor said: ↑It can only be TRUTH if everyone agrees, otherwise it's unsettled.
So how can truth be absolute then only true if everyone agrees.
Lame and shame on you for trying to DECEIVE by leaving out your original statement

Leftists SOP.
Dems seem to be condemning the R memo with broad strokes of fairly vague arguments. However the seem to rarely give details. This makes me very suspicious of their validity.

Yes they have, but remember, they submitted their answering MEMO that the HIC approved unanimously that is with the W/H to review then release, it they will do so.
Not even reading this. I see your name and it's pointless. More uninformed mumbo jumbo I'm sure.
I can only imagine it's more nonsense.
Again I will ask, where is your ONE bipartisan statement?
One? Just one?
You have ZERO credibility here any longer.
No one believes you or supports your nonsense.
Youve been caught in too many factual inaccuracies and contradictions of your own points repeatedly.
No thanks.
If all someone is going to spout is lies I'll let someone else beat their head against the wall.
Didn't even read it although like all your posts it's very compelling I'm sure
Does it include one example of your bipartisanship since you called me partisan?
One. Just one?
You called me partisan in this thread.
I named 3 things I've criticized Trump about.
Wiggle and squirm all you want, you're just proving my point post after post.

This post proves my point that you do NOT read nor understand what was written. You just go on and on and on. My partisanship by your claim, is exceeded by yours.

Three things, when there are many many things that you could criticize him about while you have 2200 post proving your partisanship in less than two months. While amazing. You don't read. you don't understand a
nd your only point is to make personal attacks. Can't you rise to a higher level?
Yes why did the Dems try to block the Republicans memo unanimously but the Republicans voted unanimously to release the Dems?
Yes why did the Dems try to block the Republicans memo unanimously but the Republicans voted unanimously to release the Dems?
Get your point.
But the answer is easy. The FBI & the DOJ did not want the Rep MEMO issue, the Dem on HIC felt that the memo was incomplete of facts and created a false narrative, they vote against its release and had to issue one to address the points that they had. So the HIC had to vote for it's release to not further tarnishing their image as a Partisan HIC, that in it's 40 yr history has had co-operation from both sides since they are about protecting the Country.
The point is the Nunes Memo has made him look very bad, and the Rep have discredited the HIC by having release it. Dems feel that they will correct and explain the narrative. Neither Memo would not have been issue if Nunes did not have his way.
Where is your one example of a bipartisan statement criticizing a Dem?
You called me partisan is this thread
My criticism of Trump
1.Too much Tweeting
2. Boorish behavior
3. Betsy DeVos selection
Your criticism of a Dem.
1..........
9 requests no answer.
Just once again proving you just throw things out with no basis in fact

Everyone including the W/H agrees with your points. Not much substance for your proof. We ALL agree.
Not reading
Just like Pittbb80 told me last night, I have to quit getting drug down to people like you and your strictly partisan level. He even specifically quoted a bunch of your posts.
One bipartisan statement.
Request 11.

You don't read what I post anyway.
You keep repeating this as if it were true. It isn't. It is solely a Dem talking point with no basis.The point is the Nunes Memo has made him look very bad, and the Rep have discredited the HIC by having release it.
I do. I've never seen a single criticism of a Dem from you. You are the single most partisan poster here..and that really says something given some of the contributors.You don't read what I post anyway.
LOL. That has to be a joke coming from you.Here's a statement: Concentrate on making yourself a better person, eliminate the personal attacks, be objective, read and respond better, etc etc.

LmaoDealing with him is like watching Groundhog Day.
He makes statements that directly contradict each other then tells everyone they don't understand,re-read it,blah blah blah
Then the next day it's the same.
It should tell him something about his inability to make a cogent point where 90% of his posts he tells someone to re-read, they don't understand, it's an absolute truth,no wait it's only a truth if everyone agrees so it's not absolute.
