RIP to the DNC

“As the DOJ emphasized to Chairman Nunes, the decision to employ an obscure and never before used House rule to release classified information without DOJ and FBI vetting was ‘extraordinarily reckless.’ The selective release and politicization of classified information sets a terrible precedent and will do long-term damage to the Intelligence Community and our law enforcement agencies. If potential intelligence sources know that their identities might be compromised when political winds arise, those sources of vital information will simply dry up, at great cost to our national security.

My buddy, both a former navy pilot and right-leaning libertarian, was pretty bent out of shape about this untimely release.

I wish it wasn't the case, but it casts a significant pall over credibility of the memo. No matter how true (I think) it is in principle.

It also isn't stretch think the DOJ/FBI castigation of the memo is incentivized by the need to cover their own asses.






All that said, Jeff SessionsFS is a steaming pile of shit.

Disagree. The memo is more credible WITHOUT DOJ/FBI "vetting." What exactly do they need to 'vet.' They have shown they can't be trusted, it wasn't acceptable to give them a chance to doctor the memo.

Agree. Jeff Session is a piece of shit. Declaring war on stoners is FS.

Fair poont, however for my buddy it is more about order of operation and chain of command.

He very much thinks HRC should be sitting in a federal gulag, for decades, for how she handled classified material.

The problem with your buddy's logic is it assumes the top of the chain is moral and upstanding and absolutely without question truthful.

And, frankly, with Comey at the top, I can't say that with absolute certainty. If it was Mad Dog Mattis' integrity being questioned, your buddy might have a case. Comey, not so much.

Therefore, there are are checks and balances established within the system - including executive oversight and congressional review.

Whether you are right or left is irrelevant in a system that was established agnostic of both.

You're putting a lot of faith in Nunes and the repubs on the house intelligence committee. Also Trump appointed the new head of FBI so what makes you think he's part of the deep state?

The party that brought us the Patriot Act crying about civil liberties.

Yes, I fondly remember the Democrats having congress and the White House and immediately moving to strike down the Patriot Act the GOP forced down their throats.

Neither party gives a shit about personal liberty.

hth

Fucking this.










*full-disclosure, I was naively in favor of the passage of the PA when it went through Congress post 9/11

#MeToo

It wasn't until about 06 or 07 when I discovered Ron Paul that I began to really understand the value of privacy and personal liberty.

Shoutout to @ReggieIsHereToBeatMySexMoney for that protip.

I lost my virginity in 06

Do yo remember his name?

Scent is strongest memory trigger. Bitfchfork has been jackhammered enough times that the names and faces all probably blend together but I bet he remembers the smell.

As much as Hillary was FS with her private server. You do realize that no classified information was ever leaked or hacked, right? That the only release of classified information was when the Republicans released her emails.

Odd I recall reports that her server had been hacked several times. Her classified email was also on Huma's laptop Wiener used for his pedophile hunting. HTH

Selective memory much?

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/07/us/hillary-clintons-email-was-probably-hacked-experts-say.html

NY times and James Comey is your source now?

That being said, this is in that article and to this day no one has come forward with her emails. "Nothing from Mrs. Clinton has surfaced."

Keep up the disinformation campaign Comrade!

Respectfully yours,

George Soros

You said no emails have been found.

I posted an article proving otherwise.

You come back here babbling about something incomprehensible. Same as always.

Liar.
