Why the memo and the actions directed at the FBI today?

I believe it has become manifestly clear to the Reich Wing that Drumpt can't survive a Mueller interview. With that in mind, they have to find someone to fire Mueller. How do they do that? They publish a Rethug memo to fire up the deplorables, get Drumpt to talk up his tax cuts and religious mania during the SOTU, and fire the Deputy Director hoping that public outcry will be consumed by that same SOTU. Once the Reich Wing memo has bounced around the Drumpt echo chamber for a few days the shitgibbon will say public outcry is calling for the firing of Mueller. That is one reason the Rethugs will not release the Democrats response to the memo.

An hail mary pass.

The Democrats should release their memo also.

Play by their rules now.

The memo claims Rosenstein was involved with the renewal of the FISA warrant against Carter Page. This will be used by 45 to get rid of Rosenstein and set up for the eventual firing of Mueller.
