Republican lawmakers are calling for the public release of a memo they say contains revelations about U.S. government surveillance abuses after the report was made available to all members of the House.

"Release the Kraken ..."

if there was real transparency their would be a revolution but we have bread and circuses and been opiated with a debased culture and debased values not enough people care anymore. The band is playing on and the ship is filling with water, as in the days of Noah...

So the argument is this: there's a memo that Republicans want released, that will seriously damage Democrats, and it's being kept secret by . . . Republicans?

LOL! My mind went immediately to the movie.

No, for the memo to be realeased it has to be voted on and then presented to the President.

It has to be voted for by the House, which is controlled by Republicans (and Senate, also controlled by Republicans?), and then presented to the President, who is also a Republican. So how does that contradict my summary?

The last time the Dems had full control was early in Obama's first term. They passed Obamacare, passed a major stimulus bill, and bailed out the US auto industry, as I recall.

Apparently info from the Steele dossier was used as one of the reasons on a FISA warrant request. In the end it will turn out to be nothing as they only need probable cause, not proven fact. A nice lil distraction though to try to help discredit Russia investigations.

It was voted to release to congress so we will get the details soon.
