The Invisible Nunes Memo (updated 2feb18)

George Rebane

Rep Devin Nunes, chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, wrote a memo that summarized what the committee has discovered about the shady doings of the FBI and the DoJ regarding their investigation of all matters Trump during 2016, and now extending into President Trump’s 2017 year in office.

The national Left, led by its Congressional electeds, has gone apoplectic about Nunes’ intent to release the memo so everyone can see what’s been going on in these ‘non-partisan’ investigations.  That, according to every Democrat you ask, is the last thing that their party wants the American people to see.  Led by the committee’s ranking Democrat, Rep Adam Schiff, the memo is characterized as “profoundly misleading”, “political”, and “distorted”, and also too hot for us everyday folks to handle.  Why?  (Seatbelts please) Because part of its basis is classified or restricted, and therefore not available to the rest of us.

Were that the case for releasing findings on 90% of government activities, then there would be a virtual blackout of information of what the feds are doing, all for our benefit.  The obvious solution to avoid such barriers is to provide the verity of such deep backgrounds through trusted agents who are privy to such information.  In this case these would be our elected representatives.  But the Dems want no such sunlight revealing the now established dodgy manner of what the FBI, DoJ, and Mueller have been doing.  You’ll recall it all started with the 5jul16 press conference by then FBI Director Comey peremptorily delivering Hillary an unprecedented absolution of all criminal culpability re her emails and servers.

It is safe to say that over half of America knows nothing of the Nunes memo, and half of the remaining know very little of its importance in the scheme of things developing in Washington.  Depending on what outlets you frequent, the news of the memo and its disposition is reported in detail (e.g. WSJ, Fox News), or in the leftwing media is minimized (on page 17), vilified and misrepresented, or just plain omitted.  So in response, Schiff and company are now going to publish a counter-memo to fog over the contents of the Nunes memo, should it ever be allowed to see the light of day.

This asymmetrical and ideology-driven reporting by our Fourth Estate is an enterprise that no longer supports a democracy that depends on an informed public.  By coincidence, this week saw the publication of How Democracies Die, by two liberal political scientists, Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, whose purpose for their essay “is to alert the public about the unique threat President Trump ostensibly poses to democracy.”  However, in their analysis of the broader question, these mavens “offer an unintentionally clarifying lesson in how democratic politics unravels.” The following quotes are taken from Jason Willick’s review. (more here)

The problem of competing party-resident ideologies is that the parties now play for keeps, both using tactics intended to wipe out the other as a continuing participant in the national practice of governance.   This is not new, other countries have been engaged in “playing for keeps, using every tool at their disposal to force rivals to their knees.”  In the US the parties, from time to time, have sought to ‘play by the rules’ whereby they “recognize the legitimacy of each other’s wins and losses”.  But this requires “an accumulation of trust and goodwill that only takes place under specific circumstances.”  And as we’ve seen, such specific circumstance have not been frequent, and for all intents and purposes are today absent from the national dialogue.

Levitsky and Ziblatt present “historical portraits of democratic dissolution, focusing especially on pre-WW2 Europe and postwar Latin America.  They offer that it is “brinkmanship” by one or the other side that starts the unforgiving tit-for-tat downward spiral.  The ongoing warfare is then continued by the entrenched party through “mechanisms” such as “capture the referees” by, say, packing the courts; “sideline at least some of other side’s star players” by, say, their gratuitous prosecution; and “rewrite the rules of the game” by, say, changing campaign finance laws.

The authors’ key lesson is that “it is poisonous in a democracy to treat rivals as treasonous, subversive, or otherwise beyond the pale” which produces an “institutional death match that explodes rule-based politics.”  And then they promptly launch into a one-sided tirade accusing only the Republicans of doing exactly that, and reveal their chief purpose for writing that book today – “to alert the public about the unique threat President Trump ostensibly poses to democracy.”  But the benefit of the authors’ analysis of how democracies die is to make us worry that “our collective decay of democratic norms may open the door to one down the line – perhaps even one of an entirely different ideological persuasion” than President Trump.

In response to such threats to our nation and democracy, there has arisen an organization that is trying to find cohesive solutions to the country’s problems in all major areas of public concern.  They advertise themselves as being above and beyond ‘labels’ the attachment of which to various notions and propositions is what they claim is a seminal irritant that leads to what we have seen Levitsky and Ziblatt describe.  In response they eschew all labels, and label their organization No Labels.  Founded in 2010, NL has a list of distinguished and/or recognized politicians as co-sponsors, chairmen, and what have you.  They also employ a team of supposedly non-partisan journalists to handle the day-to-day operations, publishing, and other communications.  NL’s efforts are directed to finding party- and ideology-independent solutions, while continuing to recognize their participants’ party affiliations, which are not supposed to enter into the problem solving process.

Looking at their No Labels Policy Playbook, I can find agreement with many to most of them.  What concerns me is that, according to my lights, their adopted MO does not seem to recognize or intend to operate in the real world.  I am currently trying to understand NL’s chances for success through a detailed dialogue with a longtime dear friend who is a member and serious devotee of NL.  I have to admit that it is a hard conversation to have, and I’ll have more to report on it in future commentaries.  But I am heartened that at least some people have decided to take a new tack to halt and perhaps heal our widening polarization.

Meanwhile, back in the world of dueling memos which none of us has yet to see … (more here and here)

[31jan18 update]  God willing and the creek (pronounced ‘crik’ in the midwest) don’t rise, the Nunes (aka now the GOP) memo will soon see the light of day.  In the interval I want to direct your attention to an essay by Hoover Institution’s Victor Davis Hanson on what the FBI and DoJ could plausibly have been doing during the 2016 campaign and election given the EVIDENCE that has been revealed so far.  Start with the thesis that has almost become a broadly accepted ground truth as we have witnessed the antics and corruption of Team Clinton over the last 25+ years, which is that -

Most elite bureaucrats understood the Clinton way of doing business, in which loyalty, not legality, is what earned career advancement.

Hanson’s ‘Hillary’s ‘Sure’ Victory Explains Most Everything’ is definitely worth a read if you want to see the most likely way that things all knit together.

[2feb18 update]  The Nunes memo is now out and can be read here.  A special sandbox has been opened for its extended consideration and debate here.

Comments

[Bill Tozer]

So-so short article, but good last paragraph.

“Democrats have sought to spin the narrative that Trump and Republicans are the ones guilty of undermining and damaging the FBI’s reputation. It’s the same tactic used by the mainstream media, which has regularly blamed Trump for supposedly undermining American’s trust in the MSM when the reality is they have done it to themselves.

All organizations are made up of a number of individuals, and while it is hoped that everyone within an organization would follow the rules and guidelines, the reality is people don’t. Why else would there be the need for oversight and ethics committees? The very fact that we need police departments who are themselves are subject to oversight is reason enough to call baloney on the Democrats’ objection to FBI scrutiny.”

MaryW 1129am - that kind of liberal logic 1) proves that the ideology is a form of dementia, and 2) brings this conversation to an end.

[Robert Cross]

George, how can you claim that liberal ideology is a form of dementia when clearly republican ideals are straight out of the industrial revolution of the 19th century? In psychology it's called projection... people project their own thoughts and feelings onto others to avoid confronting themselves with undesirable issues.

[Walt]

Well Cross, the plan of "tax and control" (Socialism) just blew up.
Liberalism is promising everyone a free lunch.(paid for by other people's money) Well, that tit ran dry. Under LIB rule, most are equally miserable.(except the ruling class and their friends)

I guess you slept through the last year. The gravy train rolled into town.

[George Rebane]

RobertC 245pm - Am not sure whether you and Ms Wanna were exposed to the same epidemic. You are mature enough to know that 'liberal', as used in the modern vernacular without the 'classical' modifier, is a label describing a form of collectivistic governance that emphasizes central planning and control, right? Or is your comment merely a failed attempt at clumsy humor?

[Scenes]

re: GeorgeRebane 3:13PM

Your definition of 'liberal' seems close enough to me, at least in the period from roughly post-WWI until just recently, but the 'liberal' part has morphed into something else.

Rather than pushing for .gov control of major parts of the economy (healthcare, giant social safety net, free education, and the like), we are now treated to a group of people with a somewhat different set of policy priorities.

. Unlimited access to US citizenship for people worldwide, especially those who look like politically important groups already in the US.
. Unlimited access to the women's bathroom for mentally ill males in dresses.
. The removal of meritocracies in business and education to be replaced with advantages for favored groups. The hierarchy of groups is still being worked out.
. A general tearing down of traditional Western culture wherever it's found. Not just statues or folkways, but in a general changing of attitude.

It doesn't seem to me that any of these imply central planning but are instead a kind of religious movement. It's all tinged with a hint of hysteria, but the underlying cause eludes me.

[George Rebane]

Scenes 407pm - Excellent points to revisit. Yes, all the initiatives you outline have been extensively presented/debated here, and all of them support the precursor efforts to establish a transformable America in which ignorant and compliant voter cohorts are established and franchised to vote away their constitutional freedoms. There is no point to the progressives starting to inculcate their under-educated and newly-amnestied about the finer points of a socialist government's role in the economy, or the enforced redistribution of wealth, or ... . As you insightfully point out, it has to start as a "kind of religious movement", which is how it started both in Bolshevik Russia and post-WW2 China. You are seeing a consistent pattern with the added consistency of 'This time we'll do it right' again held by the socialist true believers. Hope this helps.

Ahead of the missing Nunes memo, I give you a short diversion from two score years ago... just the name needs updating

From The Missing White House Tapes:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RcqjKA1SRpY

[Bill Tozer]

The Memo. Yep, written by R’s “in secret”. To be released, or not to be released, that is the question.

Seems to me the ones crying the loudest about “National Security” concerns are coming straight from the FBI, some top echelonat Justice, and the mysteriously very quiet of late Intel.

Hmm. Yep, the ones pushing back the hardest are some of the ones under investigation, lol. Comey, McCade, Lisa’s Peter....just off the top of me melon.

Thursday or Friday would be a good time to release the memo, considering SOTUA already eviscerated the NFL millionaire players who refused to humble themselves before the flag....er....thus no need to announce on Super Bowl Sunday.

[Bill Tozer]

The first comment from the link below is.....

GIVE US A DATE & TIME,....SOME OF US ARE THROWING PARTIES!

“In an radio interview Wednesday, John Kell’ said the president wants it too be released so everything is out and open, and the American people will make up their own minds.

“The unique thing about all of this, frankly, is in every other case that I can remember in my lifetime where a president was in some kind of trouble, the president, the White House attempted to not release things,” Kelly stated.”

http://www.oann.com/white-house-chief-of-staff-nunes-memo-will-be-released-soon/

[Bill Tozer]

And n’er the twain shall meet.

.. “[Releasing the FISA memo] is a distraction from the fact that [Republicans] passed a tax bill that gives 83% of the benefits to the top 1%. They’d like to distract from that. And 86 million middle-class Americans will pay more in taxes. … They do give this gift to corporate America at the expense of our children’s future. They don’t want to talk about that.” —Nancy Pelosi

[Gregory]

Memo to be released tomorrow morning

[Todd Juvinall]

Nunes tweaked the memo as advised by the DOJ and the FBI and now Pelosi is calling for his removal as Chairman. Cracks ,e up.

[George Rebane]

The Dems' reaction to these goings on is now restricted to a single dimension bounded by butt stupid and crass evil.

[Todd Juvinall]

Monmouth poll today. Trump good 44, Trump bad 48. Close as it has been for a while.

[Bill Tozer]

The accused are protesting rather vehemently. Lest we forget, it is the House Intelligence Committee that is releasing the memo, not some sub-Committee on Dams and Waterways. One would think that the Intelligence Committee knows exactly what Intelligence should not be released and how to handle matters of National Security.

[Paul Emery]

Trump is walking into a trap messing with the FBI. One of the first lessons of being a teenager is not to mess with the cops. As expressed by a friend who got in trouble "You mess with the bull, you get the horn."

Trump loses either way. The Mueller probe goes on with predictable results especially affecting Trumps family and inner circle or he does a Nixon style massacre with predictable historical results and a rebellion in the Justice Department and FBI. Remember deep throat? that's just a hint as to shat will happen with todays technology.

Got my seat in the front row for the big show.

[Bill Tozer]

Trust issues
“The appearance of wanting to prevent the public from seeing the information contained within the memo while at the same time seeking to discredit it only furthers speculation of impropriety within the agency, fueling greater distrust.”

https://patriotpost.us/articles/53867-maligning-the-fisa-memo

For us in the peanut gallery 3,000 miles from the action, the Invisible Memo is still the Invisible Memo. I think I can read it just fine without being told what is in it....or worse, being told what I read after reading it.

[Bill Tozer]

Well, we have gotten this far with no thanks to the MSM and the FBI. It has been like pulling teeth every single inch of the way. It wasn’t that long ago we were derided for even suggesting there may very well be a FISA request to spy on the Trump campaign and they denied/stonewalled the existence of the FICA warrant at the time.

Let me get this right. The Hillary Campaign, the DNC and the Democrat Party peddled a dossier that they paid millions to have written for them and now cry foul that a few R’s on the Intell Committee wrote a memo? Sounds about right.

[Gregory]

Punchy 948am

So, you're channeling J. Edgar Hoover today? Till death do you part is not part of the oath of office anymore, and Trump seems to think, with some justification, that there were people in the FBI actively working to subvert Trump's election and quashing the investigation(s) of Hillary Clinton.

In the "there are no coincidences" department, I wonder if Trey Gowdy, who announced this week he's tired of being a politician, wants a nice Justice Department job, if some cherry positions are about to be vacated.

[Bill Tozer]

From the Popinjay Post:

“As [special counsel Robert] Mueller and his team move closer to the president and his inner circle, a sense of panic is palpable on the Hill,” Schiff wrote. “GOP members recognize that the probe threatens not only the president but also their majorities in Congress.”

The risk of a “constitutional crisis” is increased, he said, by “setting the stage for subsequent actions by the White House” to fire Mueller or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.”

.....DIAPER’S FULL!

[Bill Tozer]

Well, there has to be a reason why the Lefties are friggin’ freaking out about a little 4 page memo. I say release the memo and let’s read the Schiff 10 page memo and have the FBI come forth and fill in the blanks to tell us all about any inaccuracies and “the rest of the story.” I would like to hear from the FBI Director on the details.

A win-win situation for all. Release both memos and have the FBI come forth, expand on the contents of the memo, and clear the FBI’s sullied name at the same time. Who,could possibly be opposed to that?

If the Nunes Memo is full of bull pucky, it will be easily discredited and full of holes big enough to drive a garbage truck through. I will let others do it with glee. I certainly do not want to accused racism by of attacking a man with a Spanish surname like Nunes.

But, the way some are carrying on and losing it over the potential release of a tiny memo, it does make one wonder if the Schiff is about to hot the fan.

[Paul Emery]

Bill writes

"I say release the memo and let’s read the Schiff 10 page memo and have the FBI come forth and fill in the blanks to tell us all about any inaccuracies and “the rest of the story.”

Thats a pretty fair position Bill. The problem is the FBI claimes the Nunes memo's release will have grave consequences to the US Intel services. that in my view trumps (no pun intended) release of any material without FBI clearance. Keep in mind it's Trumps own FBI pick that is making that call.

[Bill Tozer]

Punchy

Keep in mind that there is great distrust of government right now. The texts from the lead investigator on Trump come to mind. The Judicial Watch’s release of 29 pages revealing the our government’s agents were more concerned with people seeing the DOJ meeting with the husband of a target under investigation than they were with any impropriety of the 4O minute meeting on the tarmac.....and the DOJ promptly after the tarmac rendezvous requesting and being denied the first FISA request. Trust issues.

The new FBI Director I know little about, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt. Yes, Comey got fired. McCade got sent home until he runs out of vacation time earned and collects his 1.9 million dollar pension in March. Lisa’s Peter (the lead investigator of both the Hillary “extremely careless”handling of US government property as well as the lead investigator into Trump) ain’t investigating no more and has put on ice in the bowels of the agency’s HR division. And that is just scratching the surface. Opps, Assistant Deputy Ohr of Justice has been demoted for his handling of the Yellow Snow Golden Shower Dossier.

Yes, all theses things I mentioned have to do with the prior administration and the current hold overs from the Loris Lerner, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, Clinton E-mailgate, Lynch (love that name), Susan Rice, and various unmaskers. The holdovers that may have put their thumbs on the scales of Lady Justice. We have had the former CIA Director lie under oath (twice) and he is gone.

So, excuse me if I feel like “burn me once, shame on me. Burn me twice, eat lead, mo fo”.
The FBI is an investigative agency only. They were friggin spying of journalists for Pete’s Sake , Paul! They were spying and doing surveillance on journalists before turning to Trump, Paul. Wake up. We are in this together. The pendulum swings both ways. The FBI works for us. Trump works for us. Congress works for us.

I demand to see the memo. Well. I have no power, but I want to see the memo. Sure, maybe two or three Assistants to an Assistant Deputy Director or Assistant to some Assistant Deputy Attorney that we never heard of will get the boot. Good. We win. America wins.

I will take the FBI Director’s dire warning with a grain of salt. Excuse me if I take what he says with a pound of salt, especially considering the fact that the Director is on the exact same page of Adam Schiff.....which is NEVER release the memo.

Shake the tree, let the rotton fruit fall so I can stomp, crush, and grind into the dirt what is left of them. Release the memo. It may be embarrassing to some, but I do not care. Grave concerns are NOT grave irreparable damage.

George R - Posted at 11:05 AM - “Hanson’s ‘Hillary’s ‘Sure’ Victory Explains Most Everything’ is definitely worth a read if you want to see the most likely way that things all knit together.”

Yes George, “most likely” describes Hanson’s “definitive” how,,might, why, if, had, etc. interrogatories.

Lots of good conjecture there.

If only it were all true.

“The Page-Strzok text exchanges might offer a few answers…
How could Lynch…
How could former deputy director of the FBI Andrew McCabe…
Some have wondered why…
Rather, why wouldn’t a successful member of the Obama administrative aparat…
What about the recently reassigned FBI lawyer Lisa Page and FBI top investigator Peter Strzok…
So why did Strzok and Page…
And why would the two believe…
…those are the wrong interrogatories…
Did Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, or Debbie Wasserman Shultz worry…
Had Hillary won, as she was supposed to, Comey would probably…
And Barack Obama?…
Had Hillary Clinton polled ten points behind Donald Trump…
Similarly, if the clear front-runner Hillary Clinton had won…
The only mystery in these sordid scandals is…

Awww......dougy.....hitting too close to home?

[Bill Tozer]

Paul, That is the million dollar trick, but great question. Means and methods should not be compromised. Names can be redacted. Already some revisions have been made to address these FBI’s concerns.

So, the FBI asks for some editing, gets their request, then Shiff turns around and screams bloody murder that the memo as it now stands is not the memo they voted on, lol. Can you say,”setup”? Good, I knew you could. Welcome to Mr. Roger’s neighborhood.

You mentioned (several times) in the last few days Deep Throat. Suppose Deep
Throat is not exposing a sitting President as in Nixon’s case, but rather a rogue Deep State. Or, it could be all about some tripping over their shoelaces Keystone Kops. What did Mr. Dozer call Ambassador John Christopher Stevens being smoked alive, dragged through the streets, and then getting corn holed by a frenzied group our “freedom fighters”? Oh yeah, he called it “bureaucratic error.” An administrative bobble. Nothing to see here, right Susan Rice?

Yes, Fusion GPS’s co-founder testified that someone has already got murdered because of the release of the Golden Shower Dossier. Who? Where? When? Can’t tell us, it’s his secret. Okey dokey.
If Chris Steele really really believed that the Dossier was meant for private use only, then he don’t know the Clinton Machine and the far reaches on its tentacles deep into our press, government, and various foreign powers. Told you before the Clinton Machine is bigger than the Democrat Party, the likes of which our nation has probably never seen.
Hey Steele, I got some beachfront property in Arizona to sell ya....but I digress per usual.

Paul, you are asking that the accused investigate themselves. Let that sink in for a moment.
The Obama team was spying on the Trump team, as the Clinton Team is paying Fusion GPS through the same lawyer firm who was also being partially funded by OFA, the remnants of the Obama For America campaign. The same firm who employs a lawyer who just happened to be Obama’s personal attorney.
Besides, I am inclined to believe the memo only contains 10-25% of the hype. It’s just 4 pages.

[Bill Tozer]

Rogers. Keep your eye on Rogers. He got suspicious of the Obama team’s handling of all the data and went to directly to Trump Towers. The next day the Obama team called for his ouster. Rogers was the one who went to the FISA court to request an audit of FISA requests and to see how data was being presented to the court. He smelled a rat. He was also covering his rear. He did not want to be the one who would be hung out to dry. Maybe the memo will touch on Rogers, maybe not.
We will never know if the memo is squashed by Trump.

Release the memo. Do it for Deep Throat. Restore trust, restore truth.

Breaking News!!!

Gates may be on the verge of flipping. Here's details from Business insider

A group of lawyers representing Rick Gates, one of Paul Manafort's longtime associates who is facing money laundering charges in the Russia investigation, have quit the case, effective immediately.
The attorneys filed the request on Thursday, according to a court document. The reason for their withdrawal was not immediately known.
The development could signal that Gates may seek a plea deal with special counsel Robert Mueller.

[Bill Tozer]

The crime is simple. It is all found in the compartmentalized intel found only in the reading room of the White House. It would take hours upon hours to explain it to you and timelines and 15-20 steps. I have much work to do today, but have instead buried myself into my War Room for hours to be able to understand the memo if released. That is the key.
It’s panic time for some. You are looking at the chess pieces moving around, not the chess players. So was I. Not no more. Gotta go. Gotta leave you in the dark for now. Bye.

[Bill Tozer]

Whatever is in the memo, it is just peanuts compared to the full story. The FBI’s role is just a piece of the puzzle. Yes, there are National Security concerns, but not for what we were lead to believe. There was no Russian Collusion ever found and perhaps the Clinton Campaign computers were never hacked. There are ways to spy on foreign agents or Americans legally and there are illegal ways to run surveillance. There are ways to run counter-Intelligence legally, and ways to do it illegally. Hillary’s 30,000 missing e-mails are not be missing. Everything changed when Trump won and all of it was left for Trump and the new NSA to find. Trump must be impeached or all hell will break out for them...for Hillary, for Obama, for the Democrat Party for a generation. That is when they had to reverse engineer a crime and bring their man Mueller in to dirty Trump. Obamagate is the most consequential political scandal in US history. Obama, Hillary, Fusion, Uranian One, and so much more...

Since this topic is the Invisible Memo, I will back out and simply say whatever drops are contained in the memo, you ain’t seen nothing yet. They left a paper trail. The smartest people left a friggin trail. They got rid of Rogers, and it took awhile to get Dan Coates in. The day after Coates took over, Nunes was in the White House reading room. He was so shocked, he called a presser. They got him off the Committee with trumped up ethics charges, but he’s bacccccckkkkkkk. Later. Got to catch a plane.
