FOX just aired this as if it were fact. My jaw is on the floor. Dana Perino and Chris Wallace said this was really odd that the FBI & Whitehouse are at odds.

I've been shouting this on twitter so I might as well say it here. How can the FBI justify having "grave concern" about the House Intel Committee memo containing "omissions of fact" while they are simultaneously stonewalling aforementioned committee on facts, including illegally losing texts to "glitches" that weren't lost at all. They want it both ways and my jaw is on the floor that Director Wray is publicly trying to undermine Trump, who appointed him.

And I guess Catherine Herridge's source is bogus? I

It's not a shock that there are warring factions with the bureau. This could also be a smoke out by Wray, but the fact it's tied to a known media member who has previously leaked on behalf of Page and Strzok is a bit of a smoking gun.

Am I wrong in saying that this would not be released if Wray didn't agree with it? That there are warring factions within the bureau is obvious, this thread is ABOUT that, but this would be public conflict between Wray and Trump.

So whats the deal, is there a rogue FBI agent actually getting official statements read on news networks?

I don't think Trump gives a rip what the FBI says at this point.

Wray allowing this statement (if true) would not allow him to find someone. Now allowing certain FBI representatives to handle a statement and seeing where the smoke comes out is another approach altogether. Is this statement official? It was reported on fox as legit.

If it's legit, we really don't know what omissions they are referencing or their pertinence to FISA warrant approval.

If it's legit, how come no one can show where it came from?

There has been zero official release by the FBI (press office, twitter, etc.). The only source for this being official is the Page/Strzok linked reporter from the Washington Times.

For Wray to do this (IF he is doing this), then he'd basically be telling the public that he told Trump this was a bad idea, got overruled, so he felt compelled to bring it to the attention of the public so they could shame is his boss into stopping this.

Its that implication that has me wound up, and I can see why the Left is lovin this.

There's zero proof Wray authorized this. It's not even on FBI letterhead.

Why is it all Trump's fault? They need to remember it was a congressional memo and trump just now got it after they voted to release it. So Wray saw it before trump if I recall the timeline correctly. At least officially.

Exactly.

Yet, this has been out how many hours now...and we're still waiting on this to be cleared up?

Problem is no one who could get the answer is trying to clear it up. The media doesn't care where the statement came from. They are just running with it and not questioning.

The media has no reason to clear up anything since it would hurt their narrative. Even Fox will run with it, because except for the evening lineup, they are mostly anti-Trump/pro-Swamp.

I'm not assigning fault.

I'm saying this is the implication. As of this morning, Chief of Staff Kelly said it would be released quickly. Wray would basically be giving himself political cover, here, which should get his ass fired.

I'm paying more attention to the "we had limited number of hours to review" comment.

Using that logic, it CAN'T be "materially accurate" due to time constraints. I can't imagine Gowdy and Nunez putting the memo out without significant, if not 100%, confidence to it's accuracy.

Basically, I'm not worrying about it anymore, because at some point, the authors are going to be able to say, "look gd, the frickin' proof is right here, now shut the F up"!

I wasn't saying you meant Trump was at fault. The wording of the release is blaming the White House. That's where I was indicating Trump was being blamed. Sorry for the confusion

Our bureaucracy is completely and totally out of control. This is unbelievable.

People are really digging in in DC. This could get ugly or God forbid violent.

CNN saying they have new info about Peter Strzok.

They just interviewed Clapper where he pushed the "they blocked the Dems memo" bull****

This is all connected of course.

I guess we'll see after these commercials whats up with Pete.
