CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 2, 2018
BY THE TIME YOU HEAR THIS, PRESIDENT TRUMP MAY HAVE RELEASED THE SO-CALLED “MEMO.” WHAT IS THE MEMO? IT IS A FOUR PAGE SUMMATION BY THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY OF THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE DETAILING THE FBI’S BEHAVIOR DURING THE 2016 ELECTION.
HIGHER-UPS AT THE FBI AND JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAVE BEEN LOBBYING THE PRESIDENT NOT TO RELEASE IT, BUT IT SHOULD BE RELEASED BECAUSE IT MAY REVEAL OUTRAGEOUS, EVEN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY BY CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO WANTED HILLARY CLINTON ELECTED PRESIDENT, NOT DONALD TRUMP.
EXCUSES FROM THE FBI HAVE RANGED FROM ALLEGED EXPOSURE OF SENSITIVE INFORMATION, TO EMBARRASSMENT. EMBARRASSMENT SHOULD NEVER BE A REASON TO HIDE SOMETHING LIKE THIS FROM THE PUBLIC. THIS IS POTENTIALLY A BIGGER SCANDAL THAN WATERGATE. THE MEDIA MOSTLY HAVE IGNORED IT FOR TOO LONG AND ARE NOW JUST STARTING TO REPORT ON IT.
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN DEVIN NUNES HAS SAID “IT’S CLEAR THAT TOP OFFICIALS USED UNVERIFIED INFORMATION IN A COURT DOCUMENT TO FUEL A COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATION DURING AN AMERICAN POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.”
LET THE TAXPAYING AND VOTING PUBLIC DECIDE. RELEASE THE MEMO. I’M CAL THOMAS IN WASHINGTON.
