Mueller is FBI director emeritus and is used to keeping investigations secret. Starr did not have that background. Also, Starr was appointed under a different statute and may have had slightly different responsibilities. Mueller is a special counsel operating within and reporting to the AG, in this case the acting AG.

Sen Mark Warner (senior DEM on the Senate Intel comm) says of the Nunes memo:

although he has not read the memo, he called it

“one more product of the House majority, which if it continues in the pattern will be probably full of innuendo, false claims and not a lot of factual basis."

“What we have seen is this continuing pattern of full-fronted assaults against the integrity of the FBI and the Department of Justice,” Warner said. “Those actions, even for some of that crowd in the House, bring new levels of recklessness.”

*************
This is putting us in strange territory. How can Warner defend the FBI and the DoJ after the text messages? after the Bruce Ohr and Nellie Ohr revelations ?

The DEMs are digging in to fight the truth harder than I think they ever did before.

They know they're going to lose the fight and it's going to be released, so they have to try to get out ahead of it and discredit it before it's released. Their base will lap it up, because they're impervious to the truth.

I tell you this is bigger than Watergate ever was...This is going to be a scandal that will shake Americas core and we will be a much better country on the other side of it. Just remember who started it.

Yes, from what I'm hearing from Hannity, Wilkow, Levin and others, this is 100x what Watergate was.
The communist-sympathizing media won't report any of it because it affects their cohorts.

I hope you're right. I said previously in another thread that nothing will come of this cesspool of shit because the corruption is so wide and deep with so many tentacles, that any one or more of said tentacles will stop any good coming out of this in any big way. BUT, I really hope I am wrong.

http://www.foxnews.com/politic...eillance-abuses.html

A top Justice Department official is urging House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes not to release a much-buzzed-about memo circulating in Congress that purportedly reveals government surveillance abuses.

In the letter, which Fox News has obtained, Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd wrote, “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 and to advise the HPSCI of the risk of harm to national security and to ongoing investigations that could come from public release.”

Boyd continued, “Though we are currently unaware of any wrongdoing relating to the FISA process, we agree that any abuse of that system cannot be tolerated.”

???

Sessions has to get control of the DoJ


Stephen E. Boyd is the Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs. In that capacity, he heads the Department's Office of Legislative Affairs (OLA), which is responsible for managing the Department's relationship with Congress. OLA represents the Department’s interests on Capitol Hill, develops and implements strategies to advance the Department's legislative initiatives, and articulates the Department's position on legislation proposed by Congress.

Grassley supporting Nunes

http://www.washingtonexaminer....recy/article/2646980

Senator Grassley also offered support for making the House Intelligence Committee "FISA abuse" memo public.

Grassley noted that his Senate committee has "access to the same information" House Intel used in writing the memo, but does not have the same authority to release classified information that the House has.

"Based what I know, I agree that as much of this information should be made public as soon as possible, through the appropriate process," Grassley said of the House memo.

"And, I don't just mean the summary memos. The government should release the underlying documents referenced in those memos , after deleting any national security information that truly needs to be protected.

But most of this story can be told, and should be told. The American people deserve the truth."






************

1,000 pages of classified docs relating to FBI relationship with a source, and its reliance on info provided by that source

sure sounds like Christopher Steele

Hard to believe this piece of crap "dossier" has caused so much trouble

and there isn't a lot of nation security info that needs to be protected at this point - the people have been harmed - perhaps irreparably and in my books, until the American citizens have justice, national security takes a very far back seat

anyone can hide and claim anything these days under the haze of national security

I think its high time that they actually prove a national security implication before they make this assertion

otherwise, they're lying

period

Watergate was 4 self employed individuals paid for and then caught. This is the upper echelon of the FBI and DOJ conspiring to spy on the nominee, try and discredit him, and hopefully impeach him.

This is probably is 1000x worse than Watergate.

Well, they've thoroughly chummed the waters. Let's get on with it.

Yes, I realize that the wheels of Justice yadda yadda but damn, let my people go. We have wandered in the political desert for years and now it's time for the Promised Land.

Boyd's ltr to Nunes is not unreasonable to be sure that whatever goes out provides the info w minimum or no security impact.

The one thing that caught my eye though was "we are currently unaware of any wrongdoing relating to the FISA process".

That's bothersome.

That's why the memo must be released. They can learn all about it the same time the public does.
