"Do a Feinstein" since she went over Grassley's head and released the Glenn Simpson Fusion GPS testimony.

ARE based on secret and even top secret info, and the intelligence agencies have not given clearance for their release.

Feinstein didn't release the Simpson transcript until the intelligence agencies vetted it and approved its release.

The text of the Simpson transcript that Feinstein released had already been vetted and okayed for release by the intelligence agencies, and Simpson wanted it released.

The Justice department said it would be extraordinarily reckless for the Nunes memo to be released, and the same would be true of the Democratic memo -- unless and until they were both vetted by intelligence agencies.

I wondering how long before other countries start releasing information they have about Putin, Trump, and all the other people invovled.

A lot of our infomation came from them.

Like the Dutch.

I just cannot see other countries not doing something.

Old rules may not work anymore.

The memo the republicans made is crap.

It would be self defense for other counties to do it.

and then release it with the appropriate stuff blacked out. Besides, if the gop releases the nunes memo, anything in it will end up declassified (Trump said he wi declassify it ). At this stage, the dems can freely comment on it.
