BREAKING. John Kelly Gave Some Bad News To Rosenstein And Wray
2018-01-31
h/t Hot Air
The White House received the famous memo compiled by the House Intelligence Committee alleging abuses in the use of the Trump dossier shortly after the House vote yesterday. They are now in their second day of reviewing the document.

...According to a breaking story in the Washington Post, Rod Rosenstein and Christopher Wray paid a visit to the White House to try to prevent release of the memo

...Shortly before the House Intelligence Committee voted to make the document public, Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein warned Kelly that the four-page memo prepared by House Republicans could jeopardize classified information and implored the president to reconsider his support for making it public, those people said. Rosenstein was joined in the meeting at the White House by FBI Director Christopher A. Wray.

...In response, Kelly told Rosenstein and Wray that the president was still inclined to release the memo but the White House would go through a review led by the National Security Council and the White House Counsel’s Office, a senior administration official said. That review is expected to take at least several days, a senior White House official said.

...Their argument is utter bullsh**. What they are doing is closing ranks to try to protect their bureaucracies from criticism. Good work if you can get it, but it would be a major shock if Trump, the reality TV maestro, allowed this kind of a a tease and anticipation to build and then acted like Geraldo Rivera investigating Al Capone’s Vault.

You have the noive to insinuate that stuff is MONEY? At least the local real estate taxing authority accepted it today for my most recent rent payment tax bill.

#5  And they've been hiding behind this classified argument long enough. Baraq said they have evidence to prove Russians hacked the DNC server but he can't release it because it's classified. That's awfully convenient and it will not suffice in court. It's wearing thin for the FBI and Democrats too. Is it classified because they're trying to keep from going to jail? We need to have this thing out.

#3  The US economy has been on the edge of total disaster since at least 2007. It's been held up by duct tape and lies ever since. No one could have even suspected this.

#2  That gives a weekend for the market traders Blood Pressure to calm down. Posted by 3dc

Timing is slightly suspect on the downturn. Could have also been computerized selling and profit taking. More of the same could indicate a sustaining downward trend. I don't look for that to happen.
