The Force is With Me
(CNN)The FBI issued a rare public warning on Wednesday that a controversial Republican memo omits key information that could impact its veracity.

"With regard to the House Intelligence Committee's memorandum, the FBI was provided a limited opportunity to review this memo the day before the committee voted to release it," the agency said in a statement. "As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy."

Some Justice Department officials had concerns about publicly expressing continued opposition to releasing the memo, according multiple officials. The FBI went ahead and issued the statement anyway. President Donald Trump had already been angered by the letter that the Justice Department sent to the House Intelligence Committee warning the release would be "extraordinarily reckless."

The FBI warning was the latest evidence of law enforcement and intelligence agencies raising concerns about the potential public release of a memo composed by the staff of Republican Congressman Devin Nunes of California.

This is what Wray had to say (Bloomerg):

"FBI Director Christopher Wray has reportedly warned the White House against releasing the classified GOP House Intelligence Committee memo, saying that some of the information in the document is inaccurate.

A source familiar with the situation informed Bloomberg that Wray told the White House that the memo "paints a false narrative."

I guess this means that Wray is now in the crosshairs.
 
HA HA

Wray looked at it over the weekend and expressed no concern -
in fact he pressured McCabe to take "terminal leave" after reading it.

This is the FBI scared shithole-less their Deep State shenanigans are finally going to be exposed.
Hopefully we can go after the unmasking abuses too.

Liars love lies
 
The memo also faces deep opposition inside the intelligence agencies, multiple current and former intelligence officials tell CNN. The intelligence community's concern is that by revealing details of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant process, crucial elements of intel gathering will be revealed, potentially causing foreign intelligence targets to change behavior to avoid surveillance in the future.
Specifically, these intelligence officials are concerned that the memo will reveal what goes into a decision to monitor targets, including what kinds of communications are targeted, and how those communications are intercepted.
These intelligence officials emphasize that applications for FISA warrants would need to be based on law enforcement information as well as intelligence gathered independently by US intelligence agencies. That would include intercepted communications and would not meet the standard for approval if the applications were based largely or entirely on outside information, such as the dossier compiled by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele.
such crap..it's going to be "but it wasn't ALL the Steele dossier!"

I want them to release all the information. I think it’s stomach that they are only releasing what they see as beneficial to them selves.

I agree with that. If you are going to release something, put it all out there. No cherry picking.
