Trumps wants the FISA memo released.

 

On Wednesday, as Republicans were clamoring to make public a secret document they think will undercut the investigation into Russian meddling, President Trump made clear his desire: Release the memo.

 

Trump’s directive was at odds with his own Justice Department, which had warned that releasing the classified memo written by congressional Republicans would be “extraordinarily reckless†without an official review. Nevertheless, White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly relayed the president’s view to Attorney General Jeff Sessions — although the decision to release the document ultimately lies with Congress.

 

Kelly and Sessions spoke twice that day — in person during a small-group afternoon meeting and over the phone later that evening — and Kelly conveyed Trump’s desire, a senior administration official said.

 

Trump and his Republican allies have placed special emphasis on the classified memo, which was written by staff members for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and suggests that the FBI may have relied on politically motivated or questionable sources to justify its request for a secret surveillance warrant in the investigation’s early phase. Democrats have characterized the memo as misleading talking points designed to smear the FBI. They said it inaccurately summarizes investigative materials that also are classified.

 

Trump “is inclined to have that released just because it will shed light,†said a senior administration official who was speaking on the condition of anonymity to recount private conversations. “Apparently all the rumors are that it will shed light, it will help the investigators come to a conclusion.â€...

You just know, that if Trump wants the memo released to the public, it'll turn around and shoot the end of his dick off...

 

Or more moderately, he doesn't have a history of making the right call, on things like this.

Facebook is a ‘living, breathing crime scene,’ says one former tech insider

 

Tue, Jan 16

 

Three silicon valley insiders are accusing Facebook of prioritizing profits over people, pointing to Russia’s 2016 misinformation campaign against American voters through targeted ads. Facebook has announced plans to change its newsfeed, prioritizing updates from friends and families and limiting ads from companies. They also tells NBC News that they “have more work to do, and we’re heads down on getting it done.â€

Coss do you think the Trump dossier is legitimate?

 

I don't know, on the one hand I'd like to think that he does enjoy the golden showers. With underage hookers.

 

On the other hand, if it is incorrect, then it should be easy to disprove, by, for example, taking purported fact A and demonstrating that fact is incorrect because of fact B.

 

The reaction of Trump's supporters, which is to bang sticks on tree roots whilst screaming loudly, is not a disproval, it's a denial.
