<br>
"The skirmish over Devin Nunes' ham-handed, partisan "intelligence" memo would be funny if it wasn't so extremely dangerous. I've read the memo -- at least the version that existed a few days ago, before he secretly modified it again without the committee's knowledge. I also read the Democratic rebuttal memo that Republicans are withholding, so I know the Nunes' memo is complete bunk, riddled with exaggerations, wild extrapolations, and outright lies (for example: it mischaracterizes a key witnesses' testimony in a classified hearing, which would be easy to refute... except that the GOP majority refuses to declassify the transcript!).<br>
<br>
Here's the bottom line, which anyone willing to think independently already realizes: Nunes is trying to manipulate public opinion against our main federal law enforcement agencies (FBI and DOJ) and pave the way for President Trump to start firing people. This is the deliberate setup for a Watergate-style Saturday Night Massacre. Nunes, Trump and their ilk are desperately choreographing all of this -- despite the damage to our institutions and national security, despite the fact that most people see right through their scheme -- because they know the Russia investigation is getting close to revealing the truth. The country will soon know the full extent of Trump's personal, financial and political ties to Russia, and whether he has obstructed justice or engaged in other misconduct. This scares them so much that they've launched a disinformation campaign that would make Goebbels blush. They're counting on the rightwing media echo chamber and Russian bots to help them brand the Special Counsel's Russia investigation as a "witch hunt" and change the subject to their new pseudo-conspiracy within the FBI and DOJ.<br>
<br>
Those of us who care about the truth -- and frankly, anyone who cares about our country -- must step up right now, call out these insidious actions, oppose political tampering with our law enforcement agencies, and demand that the Special Counsel be allowed to follow the facts wherever they lead. This is not a drill!”<br>
