| Lawmaker: FBI Memo Will ‘Shock Americans,' Warrant Removal of ‘FBI, DOJ Officials' |
| 2018-01-31 |
| [FreeBeacon] A classified memo alleging abuses by the FBI and Department of Justice in its handling of a surveillance operation against President Donald Trump and his associates will "be shocking to many Americans" and likely prompt the removal of "a high number" of senior officials in these agencies, according to one member of Congress who has viewed the highly classified document. Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee voted along party lines late Monday to declassify the hotly contested memo, which outlines alleged surveillance abuses by senior FBI and DOJ officials pursuing what many have described as partisan campaign against Trump. Following that decision, the president has several days to decide whether he will allow the memo to be released to the American public or kept classified. Rep. Sean Duffy (R., Wis.), speaking about the decision, said allegations in the memo "will be shocking to many Americans and warrant the removal of a number of high [level] FBI and DOJ individuals as well as at least one of those individuals being prosecuted," according to comments made in the lawmaker's podcast, an advanced copy of which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. "There is a lot of smoke blowing around the FBI, the DOJ," Duffy said during a chat with his colleague, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R., N.Y.), on national security issues and Trump's upcoming State of the Union address. |

| #11 My apologies, I said Canada because of the big movie presence up there but we both know they'll never actually move so you're safe. |

| #9 There's a good chance that SOMETHING in the memo could reveal sensitive information about FBI techniques and be of use to other opposition forces. Damned if you do, Damned if you don't. |

| #8 #7 rjschwarz: Why Canada?????? We've got enough problems as it is. Surely we don't need more. Where the heck are all the Hollywood types that said they'd move up here if DJT got elected? No sign of 'em so far . . . . . and I was looking forward to showing them what a real Canuckistanian winter could be like. *SIGH * |

| #7 A certain segment of voters will not believe the memo, the evidence, or anything that shows their party in a bad light. It would be nice if they'd move to Canada (or any other country for that matter) so they could be happy again. |

| #4 Most of the Burgers have been reporting on this and other Zero era malfeasances for oh...eight years now. None of this is a surprise. We've been pointing to this all along. I marvel at the MSM's ability to bury such a monumental story...thank goodness the internet doesn't allow that forever. If you said it or printed it or whatever, its out there, it never goes away and it will come back to bite you in the butt. |

| #2 The most disgusting thing will be the reactions of the Dems and progs in the media and population. They will spin and cheer and shrug as part of their stupidity that still doesn't realize that their own weapons can be turned against them. |

| #1 I doubt anyone who reads the Burg will be greatly "shocked." |
