Trump creates disorder and then complains about the lack of order. He throws bipartisan deals in the trash bin and then bemoans the lack of cooperation.

Let me get this straight. The GOP says it's a crime for the FBI to use a corroborated Dossier/Memo, but it's perfectly legal for the GOP to use an "inaccurate" Dossier/Memo in order show that using a Dossier/Memo is illegal. #WednesdayWisdom

Bloombergs Kevin Whitelaw reports President Trumps reaction to a DOJ memo about the Russian probe.
FBI Director Christopher Wray told the White House he opposes release of a classified Republican memo alleging bias at the FBI and Justice Department because it contains inaccurate information and paints a false narrative, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The memo on actions early in the probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign is being reviewed by our national security lawyers in the White House, who are slicing and dicing it, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly said Wednesday on Fox News Radio. But he left little doubt about the outcome, saying the disputed memo will be released pretty quick, I think, and the whole world can see it.
The White House has up to five days to decide whether the memo can be released -- and whether portions should be withheld -- after the House Intelligence Committee voted Monday to make it public. The memo, written by aides under direction of Republican Chairman Devin Nunes, is aimed at raising questions about the validity of the investigation into possible collusion between Trumps campaign and Russia, now led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

The FBI isnt included in the inter-agency review process led by the White House aimed at deciding whether -- and how much of -- the memo can be made public. Wray was allowed to read the memo on Sunday.

John Kelly says on Fox News radio that he's seen the Nunes memo and that it will be "released pretty quick." Kelly: "I'll let all the experts decide that when it's released. This president wants everything out so the American people can make up their own minds."

Kelly is aiding and abetting obstruction of justice and the creation of an authoritarian state. Hes not Trumps adult daycare minder; hes Trumps enabler. This is like Seven Days in May except now the military and the president are in cahoots.

That's my reaction as well, especially when I heard he was calling DOJ to make suggestions and then states he doesn't want them to do anything illegal, though.

(5,210 posts)at DHS and then as CoS. I hope all those who were so generous in lauding him regret all their fine words about what a fine man he is. I'm horrified someone with his beliefs and biases ever held such high office in the military.

(111,089 posts)With McCabe stepping down, David Bowdich has become acting FBI deputy director. Bowdich is a career professional who rose to become an associate deputy director.
Wray is expected to interview other candidates for the job before making a final decision for deputy director, the person said.
