Russian bots are pushing #ReleaseTheMemo

Twitter accounts linked to Russian influence operations have begun promoting the hashtag #ReleaseTheMemo.

It's a reference to a document written by Rep. Devin Nunes that purports to show abuse by the Obama administration of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

The frequency with which the accounts have been promoting the hashtag has spiked by 233,000% over the past 48 hours, according to an analysis.

The most-shared URL has been a link to WikiLeaks' "submit" page.

If the Steele Dossier/Fusion GPS testimony is to be believed (and it's been correct so far), I'm expecting less "something" and more everything. Everything he's been credibly accused of, he did. The conspiracy, the money laundering, the Russian whores and ensuing blackmail, everything. I suspect Trump really is that dirty.

Be still my beating heart! You're stirring my hopes which I've managed to keep to a sensible level. Oh, the irony of "Lock her up!" Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see Donnie Boy end up in prison.

I dunno. Seeing the corrupt and treasonous Ryan and McConnell in prison would be right up there.

I agree.

Thing is, the Repugnicans love this ploy. They claim they have some super-duper, tell-all expose that is going to prove once and for all the depraved perfidy of the Democrats.

And then they go on and on and on about releasing it until their base is convinced that it has been released and everything claimed about it was true.

Then they drop the subject.

I expect they'll come up with a thousand excuses to stifle it because they know full well that it doesn't say anything resembling what they claim it does, and probably the opposite.

Then someone else will 'leak' it and they will be outraged ("Outraged, I tell you!") by the criminals doing the leaking.

Of course, by then their base will all 'know' what it really says, and won't be fooled by the leebral liars trying to claim it said something else.

Release it. If they want it done, they can get it done. It's a misdirection ploy, and you know it.

Couldn't whoever sent the memo release it? Who is actually preventing its release?

Not just whoever sent it, no, because it's a summary of classified material with a different original classifying authority.

But POTUS can do it simply by doing it. If the Republicans want it released they simply have to ask President Trump to do so.

This. A thousand times this.
 
Gaetz is an exceptional idiot even by GOP standards.

Gaetz’s theory ― that the FBI provided information for an Oct. 24, 2016, Wall Street Journal story on the Trump dossier ― doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, chiefly because no such story exists. The first story to reference the “dossier” was published by Mother Jones on Oct. 31, 2016, a full week after Strzok-Page exchanged texts about a Wall Street Journal article. The Mother Jones story only came out after Comey sent a letter about the Clinton investigation on Oct. 28 that set off a media frenzy Clinton has partially blamed for her loss.

But the secret GOP memo gave Gaetz a convenient pivot point: the suggestion that there’s something, a bombshell, that he can’t reveal publicly. And it totally supports the theory he’s been pushing this whole time.

“I can say that if this memo become available to the public, many of the concerns that have been raised by members of the Judiciary Committee will be highlighted,” Gaetz said.

Later on Friday, all nine Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee issued a statement calling the memo a “misleading set of talking points attacking the FBI.” Since the documents that the GOP-prepared memo cites are highly classified, the Democrats said, they will not be made public and it will become “impossible for the few Members who have seen the documents to explain the flaws and misstatements contained within the talking points” without disclosing sources and methods.

“This is by design,” they said. “Not surprisingly, the GOP campaign to attack the FBI now has been joined by the same forces that made common cause during the Trump campaign — Wikileaks, Julian Assange and a multitude of online Russian bots are now involved in promoting this effort. It should be seen for what it so plainly is: yet another desperate and flailing attempt to undermine Special Counsel Mueller and the FBI, regardless of the profound damage it does to our democratic institutions and national security agencies.”

It's pretty clear why he's a rising star of the Trump era GOP.
 
Rich Russians attended Trump inaugural as honored guests:
As questions about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election were beginning to percolate publicly, prominent business leaders and activists from that country attended inaugural festivities, mingling at balls and receptions — at times in proximity to key American political officials.

Their presence caught the attention of counterintelligence officials at the FBI, according to former U.S. officials, although it is not clear which attendees drew U.S. government interest. FBI officials were concerned at the time because some of the figures had surfaced in the agency’s investigation of the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, the officials said.
