More fake news.

If this was a public statement, where is it?

Even the NYT plays this little trick with what they report...

F.B.I. Condemns Push to Release Secret Republican Memo

Christopher A. Wray, the F.B.I. director, clashed publicly with the president for the first time on Wednesday, condemning a push by House Republicans to release a secret memo that purports to show how the bureau and the Justice Department abused their authorities to obtain a warrant to spy on a former Trump campaign adviser.

And then continues to read:

Though Mr. Wray’s name was not attached to the statement...

Maybe it was a little buddy of McCabe's that put the 'Rare Official Statement' out?

No attribution? It could have been anyone.... right?

Or an inside cohort.

😬 they can't get enough of themselves.

Obviously das Memo is going to cause big damage when released.

🙀

What is MTUBY?

Trump will not release this. He will let his time expire.
The WH press release is trump hasn't even read the damn thing. How can he declassify it if he hasn't even read it?

Plot twist, Trump doesn’t release it. But the Official docs Get leaked by an inside source.

a reply to: AndyFromMichigan

Yeah. He "supposedly" lied to the FBI about it too. Oh and was charged with it too.

Deep insider FBI people are going to be exposed as "americanGestapo"

🤢

The FBI is so dirty. They put out the statement...but they don't claim to.

It's a partisan memo that is biased, that is what I have been saying for a while. That is why the Democrat memo should be released, as well... unless everyone WANTS a biased memo.

All screenshots of this alleged statement are conveniently framed to not show any official signature or FBI letterhead. Something doesn't add up here.

Remember the last time you went this route with an emailed statement you didn't like?

Where is the original statement?

It's everywhere. Here's the version on Reuters.

Still not the original and Trump has not responded either. This starts to smell very fishy.

I challenge any news outlet to publish the email address this was sent from.

Still think its ultra fishy Nunes Addresses the DOJ, yet there is nothing from
the DOJ, this is very fishy.

I can't get my head around this mindset.

Don't we elect them to work together to run the country? This crap about "minority opinion" drives me nuts.

His lawyers are going crazy right now for just that reason. It would be political suicide.
Especially if it's proven to be misleading to reflect badly on those who are investigating him. It will look like a self serving defensive move to mislead the American people.

IF it is an official statement, why no letterhead or other confirmation that it is from the FBI?

Why would the reporters need to protect their source if this is 'Official'?

The FBI has fallen really low. Im in disbelief.

There isnt a second chance for some errors they can make. They have so much power, resources, access and influence that their mistakes can cost a generation or several, wealth, security and happiness on a national level.

I think the FBI has outlived its purpose.

Disband it and establish a new federal investigative agency. OR take existing FBI agents and offer them jobs elsewhere, once theyre all out, close the doors.

Most of its leadership needs to be vetted all over.

Yeah i said i made a mistake. I have no problem admitting when i'm wrong.

a reply to: face23785

Every move he's made has been to stop this investigation. Or to discredit evidence. Or to hide things.
Why. What doesn't he want discovered? If he's so innocent why not let it play out so he can say. "Told ya so" at the end? If he has nothing to hide let it finish.

Where are those in house investigations at on this right now? Are they almost over too?

a reply to: butcherguy

Alright, FBI has a statement up just up now.

Wasn't there before.

www.fbi.gov...

So, it is real.

I wont apologize for needing to see it from the horses mouth.

Just a hunch, partisan politics being what they are, and Trumps propensity to say or do whatever he feels, I believe we will see it followed by a secret Democrat memo, lots of finger pointing, and bingo, on to the next news cycle, and WE never see the report.

It's actually quite Genius!!!

MTUBY

Nunes just confirmed that it was a joint HPSIC effort that created the memo and not Republicans. I stated that right from the beginning. Who will admit that they were wrong about that i wonder?

Change of perspective: Every move he has made is to clear his name after being wrongfully accused of nefarious acts by a Washington insider, and her weaponized Federal Agencies, who have lied on federal forms to secure survellance warrants. They then took the information gleaned from said surveillance and shared it outside of the legal sphere, slandering the name and trampling the privacy of a private US citizen.

This is the perspective you are missing from your viewpoint.
