FBI: Devin Nunes Wont Show Us Memo Alleging Surveillance Abuses
The FBI has yet to see a controversial memo alleging the intelligence community engaged in grave abuses. And that could make friction between the Hill and the bureau even worse.

The FBI has not been permitted to see the memo Rep. Devin Nunes and his staff wrote about alleged abuses by the intelligence community, The Daily Beast has learned.
"The FBI has requested to receive a copy of the memo in order to evaluate the information and take appropriate steps if necessary. To date, the request has been declined, said Andrew Ames, a spokesperson for the FBI.
Reached for comment, Nunes spokesperson Jack Langer said, "The Daily Beast has become America's foremost publication for regurgitating the Democrats' talking points."
Nunes, who heads the powerful House intelligence community, put together the four-page memo based on intelligence the FBI showed him and a few of his staff, as well as Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the committee. More than 150 members of the House have seen Nunes memo. Scores are calling for its release, while Democrats say it is a misleading set of talking points attacking the FBI.

(15,805 posts)then opens this ridiculous Kabuki Theater act proclaiming the FBI is up to no good, and he won't even let the FBI have a copy to verify his story. Is that about right?
This would be the sames Nunes that lied about meeting with Trump administration officials to concoct a fake news story that Obama ordered surveillance on Trump. Yeah, he's totally credible.

(14,604 posts)then-Senator Joseph McCarthy waving a piece of paper, saying, "I have here a list..."
I think Nunes has about as much decency as McCarthy did.

(7,645 posts)also, as portrayed in The Manchurian Candidate.. "I have here the names of 130, er, wait, 180, no I ... I mean 260 congress critters who are card carrying members of the Communist Party"!
"No, you can't see the list. It's secret"!

(14,052 posts)GOP staffers insisted that the crayons contain elevated levels of lead (Saying no those sissy CPS lead limit regulations).
Fortunately, Nunes was able to secure a supply of lead-containing crayons from a source in Russia.

(20,998 posts)You are correct... The last thing Nunes* wants is for someone knowledgeable and capable to review his "memo." Nunes* is guilty, guilty, guilty and knows that if tRump* goes down, Nunes* goes down.
