DOJ tells Nunes it'd be 'reckless' to release memo without review ... Translation: Give us time to fabricate some excuses and talking points for the FAKEPRESS. Poor babies. Can I give them some Play Doh and hot cocoa? How come you freaks were not a bit worried about Adam Schiff "the Mouth" all of last year, or the NYTimes, or the Post? Such HYPOCRITES!

It was a Trump political appointee who slapped down Nunes: Trump Administration Smacks Down Devin Nunes Over His Memorandum by Erick Erickson A Trump political appointee smacks down Devin Nunes over his memo and claims Nunes hasn't seen the classified material This is a pretty devastating letter from Stephen Boyd at the Department of Justice. Boyd is a Trump appointed Assistant A.G. who was put by the White House into the position of Jeff Sessions' right hand at the DOJ. Boyd is a Trump team player. But he is blowing up Devin Nunes over his memo that has House Republicans in a tizzy. According to Boyd, in his letter that you can read here, Nunes' memo is actually a memo drafted by Nunes's staff based on classified information that neither Nunes nor most of his staff have seen. This is very important here for a few points. First, it begs the question of how the members of Congress calling for a special prosecutor have formed their opinion when they have not seen the classified information. Second, it is notable that this is a partisan Trump appointee smacking Nunes down. Third, it suggests Jeff Sessions and the Trump partisans at the upper levels of the Department of Justice have not yet concluded there is anything significant enough to warrant a major investigation. In fact, congressional Republicans have been building an elaborate case of conspiracy about the FBI that, no doubt, the President shares, but the President's own political appointees have yet to embrace. This letter makes that clear. themaven.net
