Re: US Politics Thread
Why did the Dems fight so much about this. What secrets are leaked?

Re: US Politics Thread
That’s it? Dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the House intel committee, destroyed trust with Intelligence Community, damaged relationship with FISA court, and inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen. For what? DOJ & FBI must keep doing their jobs.

I don’t get the big deal. Adam Shiff acted as if anyone who read it would get aids and that our national security would be at risk. Now the Dems say “nothing to this”. So what was Adam thinking?

For one thing, it's all one-sided. It's an incomplete picture of what went on.
Ari Melber said the Dems should thank Nunes for this “gift”. He acts like it is great for them. Or is that spin?

It could be opening a pandora's box too. A slippery slope. Now every investigation under scrutiny the public will demand a release of intelligence otherwise consider it bogus & have politicians creating such a witchhunt atmosphere.
It's a slippery slope.

It's not the content, per se, it's the revealing of an intelligence operation for political purposes.

Everything we knew before now was a fvcking leak so take that hypocritical bullshit somewhere else. Even the dossier was a god damn leak. Just as the Comey leaks etc. everything was leaked.

Re: US Politics Thread
I don’t see anything of interest in it. It’s not a bombshell revelation that shows an attack on American democracy. It’s also not a constitutional crisis that destroys the credibility of the FBI. Like I said, both Nunes and Schiff are complete dipshits. Anyone who takes up their flag is just as partisan and gullible.
That being said, releasing this appears to be a huge blunder. Nothing is gained and conspiracy nuts on both sides will find something meaningful from it.
