    This sick obsession with what's in a stupid memo written by a half-wit Trump partisan that will change zero minds about the propriety of the Russia investigation is why we're all here so pls fucking release it already thx.

    I never pass up an opportunity to smear . She is actively trying to start wars with Iran and North Korea. If she did screw Trump it wouldn't be her worst crime. .

    I don't think it's right for to invite a guest to simply set him up for a hit job. If felt like Wolff slandered Haley, then she should have at least provided evidence & allowed him to answer her Qs. Or just don't invite him. That was a stunt.

    Release the memo already. I’ll decide for myself. And I don’t care about classified information. I’m not going to defend the surveillance state.

    In November 2016, Israel signed a memorandum of understanding with Poland's right-wing government agreeing to support its efforts to classify language like "Polish death camps" as "erroneous terms of memory." Poland now seeks to ban use of the term.

    Since you are one of the primary manufacturers of the hoax I am quite sure you will not want anyone looking too closely at how you cobbled together that ridiculous Jan. 6, 2017, assessment.
    I had many fights with Congressional Dems over the years on national security matters. But I never witnessed the type of reckless partisan behavior I am now seeing from Nunes and House Republicans. Absence of moral and ethical leadership in WH is fueling this government crisis. …
