The DOJ letter to Mr. Nunes, then the House Intelligence Committee chairman, said: “We have also heard that [the committee] is considering making the classified memorandum available to the public and the media, an unprecedented action.
We believe it would be extraordinarily reckless for the Committee to disclose such information publicly without giving the Department and the FBI the opportunity to review the memorandum.“
Mr. Nunes did not want to get bogged down. Five days later, committee Republicans voted to publish the memo, and then Mr. Trump stepped in and declassified a Feb. 2 release.
The four-page Nunes memo confirmed that the FBI based four wiretap warrant requests largely on the Democrats’ Steele dossier. The memo spelled out that the FBI had an obligation to present the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court with all evidence surrounding the target — in this case, Carter Page.
Not one of four warrant applicants told judges that the Steele dossier was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party.
Justice Department is concealing 400 pages of 'sensitive documents' laying bare payoffs and gifts to Hunter and Jim Biden from China, Russia and Ukraine - after acknowledging the records exist - lawyer claims in suit.
The National Archives and Records Administration is preparing to release hundreds of Obama White House internal documents containing information about Hunter's relationship with controversial Ukrainian gas company Burisma, Business Insider reported this month.
Biden's administration is able to veto the release, but must decide by February whether to invoke executive privilege to keep them hidden until 2029.
The records date back to 2014 and include 69 images and 260 email messages mentioning Burisma. [www.dailymail.co.uk... tm_medium=email

Cmon man! Me and hunter just sold a few secrets to the Chinese. Everyone's doin it, cmon man!
See the e-mail here: www.foxnews.com...
Lawmakers have been quick to note the content of the email implies a level of energy expertise Hunter did not have, alleging he could have had access to classified information - which, in turn, could be tied to the several discoveries of classified documents tied to his father, found in various unsecured locations.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, SSCI, is the epicenter of the larger intelligence apparatus that controls government.
It was/is the SSCI who helped to create the weaponized system we call the Fourth Branch of Government.
The SSCI is the institutional origin where the outcomes of the FISA courts, domestic surveillance, and downstream consequences of the Patriot Act are supported and facilitated.
Because of their unique role in creating our national security state, where U.S. citizens are regarded as the potential threat to the interests of that state, the SSCI is a unique stakeholder in retaining the corrupt systems of domestic surveillance power.
No institution within the elected legislative branch of government has done more to destroy the freedom and constitutional protections within the U.S. than the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
The intelligence community interacts with the SSCI with that benefactor/beneficiary alignment in mind. This is why the SSCI claims such bipartisanship, and why the corporate media herald the SSCI as an important functional tool.
Without the assistance of the SSCI, the U.S. domestic surveillance state could not exist. When the IC (Intelligence Community) feels threatened, they run to the SSCI for protection.
The chair (Warner) and vice-chair (Rubio) of the committee are also members of the Gang of Eight, intelligence oversight group.
It is laughable to see Senator Mark Warner decry the possibility of national security leaks and compromises within the classified document issue. Warner himself was the most consequential leaker during the Trump-Russia investigation (Wolfe leak of FISA application). And the SSCI facilitated everything that happened in the Mueller Special Counsel investigation of President Donald Trump.
