    Default Why was the memo classified in the first place?

    Days before release of Nunes Memo there were hysterical cries from democrats and their media minions that the release would entail compromising national security. As it turned out, the hysteria was overblown.

    In fact, anyone who had actually read the Memo and then claimed it would affect national security, was lying.

    It’s a topsy-turvy political world the democrat’s new found sacred duty is to protect the nations chief law enforcement agency and the media runs in the opposite direction of a story that could dwarf Watergate.

    Bob Woodword, where are you?

    This raises two questions and only the first one is obvious: what are they hiding that they would tell such an obvious lie about the Memo and national security? The answer is kind of easy.

    The second and less obvious question: why were the FISA/Dossier machinations classified in the first place? If the FISA court is going to be used to spy on US citizens, then us citizens, should demand transparency.

    Thoughts?

    FISA kind of reminds me of Animal House "double secret probation".

    FBI director Wray is neither a Democrat nor one of their media minions.

    So what do the Republicans say?

    Calling on Trump not to interfere in Mueller's investigation, four Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee dismissed on Sunday the idea that the memo's criticism of how the FBI handled certain surveillance applications undermines the special counsel's work. Reps. Trey Gowdy (S.C.), Chris Stewart (Utah), Will Hurd (Texas) and Brad Wenstrup (Ohio) represented the committee on the morning political talk shows.

    Gowdy, who helped draft the memo, said Trump should not fire Rosenstein and rejected the idea that the document has a bearing on the investigation. "I actually don't think it has any impact on the Russia probe," Gowdy said on CBS's "Face the Nation."

    Early Thursday morning, President Trump seemed critical of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a key surveillance tool that the House is voting to reauthorize Thursday. He tweeted, "'House votes on controversial FISA ACT today.' This is the act that may have been used, with the help of the discredited and phony Dossier, to so badly surveil and abuse the Trump Campaign by the previous administration and others?"

    The president was referring to his unproven accusation that then-President Obama tapped his phones at Trump Tower. Mr. Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, who had an apartment at Trump Tower, was wiretapped by the the government, though, because the U.S. was concerned that he was communicating with Russian operatives trying to meddle in the election.
    Two hours after his first tweet, Mr. Trump tweeted again, to encourage the reauthorization, saying that he personally directed a "fix" to the unmasking process, which allows certain officials to identify certain individuals through a very rigorous process. He wrote, "With that being said, I have personally directed the fix to the unmasking process since taking office and today's vote is about foreign surveillance of foreign bad guys on foreign land. We need it! Get smart!"

    Sources & Methods ...

    But I guess Republicans are just fine with "Unmasking" when it suits their own interest.
