Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted February 10, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 10, 2018 Old Baldy Trump won't declassify Democratic memo, sends back to committee (CNN)President Donald Trump won't release the Democratic rebuttal to the Republican intelligence memo alleging FBI abuses of its surveillance authority at this time, and has sent it back to the House Intelligence Committee for changes. In a letter to the committee, White House Counsel Donald McGahn said, "although the President is inclined to declassify the February 5th Memorandum, because the Memorandum contains numerous properly classified and especially sensitive passages, he is unable to do so at this time." Trump said earlier Friday he planned to release the memo. "It's gonna be released soon," Trump told reporters at the White House, adding, "We're going to release a letter." The House Intelligence Committee voted unanimously on Monday to release the 10-page Democratic memo, and the committee rules gave Trump five days to decide whether to block or allow its release. The memo from Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the committee, was written to rebut the Republican memo released one week prior, which accuses the FBI of suppressing Democratic ties to an opposition research dossier on Trump and Russia used in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant for former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page. Schiff and other Democrats charge that the Republican memo led by House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes of California is misleading and omits key facts, including that the FISA application did state that ex-British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier, was paid by a political entity. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/09/politics/democratic-memo-trump-wont-declassify/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
