The DoJ and Nunes are working from the same script. Not showing the memo is vital to its value.

And you do know Sessions and Nunes are co-conspirators with trump, et.al., right?

Just makes me think he knows there is really good evidence of him doing something really wrong. I can't think of other reasons he'd be trying to discredit the investigation so much. I don't think it is that he is THAT loyal to 45.

be allowed to release the memo, which makes it look like the Justice Department has something to hide.

Don't look inside a nothing burger, you'll go away hungry.

The DoJ cannot release classified information without permission. You do know that the FBI is part of the DoJ, don't you?

(22,971 posts)6. Um, you ddo know Sessions has limited control over the DoJ because of his recusal from Mueller's
investigation? Because he is among those being invertigated by the DoJ? The DoJ is not the bad guy here. Sessions and Nunes are.
