DNC, FusionGPS, Steele and finally the FBI.

My question is, if it's as bad as some of these reps are reporting why does it need to be released before investigations and prosecutions can begin?

AMEN!

You'll see once that Memo breaks.

Why does the memo need to break? I thought they had all the documents ready to start arresting people in December?

Trump can pretty much declassify whatever he wants so why is he waiting?

Because it probably isn’t as bad as they are reporting. That information doesn’t have to go public to start arresting people if they have committed crimes and if it did Trump could just declassify it.

Trump can't declassify a document held by the House. He'll likely wait for Ryan to allow it. That will effectively end the Mueller investigation altogether. After that with their hands no longer tied they can pretty much start going after all those involved.

Got anything to back that up? Pretty sure the president has the power to declassify pretty much anything he wants with an executive order.

The House would fall onto it's own authority outside of the Executive branch. Not ironically they are trying to pass some type of bill strengthening FISA warrants at the same time.

Rush had a theory today (paraphrasing) that Trump doesn't want to release the memo because it reaches obama and doesn't want a crisis.


Update, cut and pasted from Rush:

tell you what it reveals — and this is a question that they’re all gonna have to deal with — what it reveals, and I’m guessing, it’s an educated guess. What it reveals is the culpability of Barack Obama himself in all of this. What it reveals is the involvement of Barack Obama in all of this. And the question is gonna be, these people are gonna ask themselves, do we want to totally destroy the faith the American people have in our institutions by informing them what happened with Obama’s involvement or people very close to him.

We're facing a Constitutional crisis right now. Considering Obama wasn't even legitimately elected and that the entire system is pre-rigged. Trump has to be very careful in his approach to disable the shadow government. Hillary was supposed to follow Obama, who followed Bush- all as a continuation to move the country further Socialist. This is why they are doing everything in their power to derail the actual surprise legitimate election of Trump. Through Trump's Presidency we might just be able to save the Republic. However the alternative is very dark given the levels of corruption being uncovered. Watch this video, she covers some up to date info, then at 46 minutes goes into e-mails from 2008 prior to the election. It's obvious the entire Obama election was already pre-determined.

If most of the guilty parties turn out to be FBI and intelligence types I foresee a scenario where Seth Rich is going to have lots of company.

We should pray for Ms. Carter's safety.

It wouldn't, but if the evidence is that explosive, the public interest should override any concerns on secret squirrel grounds. Regardless of which side of the fence you're on, no one can legitimately deny that we have a VERY opaque federal government. They hide crucial information on a daily basis. They routinely ignore and stall FOIA requests and they simply classify whatever they don't want to be held responsible for:

https://oversight.house.gov/hearing/...ency-security/

•The federal government spent more than $100 billion during the last 10 years on security classification activities, and yet, it is estimated 50 to 90 percent of classified material is not properly labeled. •Federal agencies often mark documents classified and withhold information for decades simply because they contain embarrassing material.

So how about we stop dancing on the head of a pin and just admit it. We have a rogue and politically corrupt federal government and they are not accountable to the taxpayers. At all.
