House Intelligence Committees Vote for Removing Surveillance Surveillance

This afternoon, the House Intelligence Committee decided to approve the much anticipated memo release, written by Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA).

According to the Daily Caller, the memo alleges that high-ranking officials at the Justice Department and the FBI "mislead the federal reconnaissance tribunal to obtain spy licenses against former Trump campaign advisers."

The release of so-called "Nunes memos" was approved at the balloting of parties (13 - 9), with all members of the Democrats from the voting committee against his release to the public.

While congressmen are forbidden to discuss their contents openly, the memo is said to claim that, "... FBI and DOJ officials rely on unconfirmed Steele documents to obtain a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Oversight Court to spy on Carter Page, the energy consultant served in the Trump campaign. "

According to Daily Caller, one of the top DOJ officials on the memo was Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who reportedly updated his secret reconnaissance letter last April against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Amid fears of the memo, Fox News reported that FBI Director Christopher Wray went to the capital Hill on Sunday to see the memo itself. Incidentally, following Director Wray's review of the memo, Disobedient Mediam reported this morning that FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe would resign from the bureau.

Last week, The Hill reported that in response to the release of the memo, members of the Democratic committee, led by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), has announced that it plans to release their own memo for, "... against the Republican claim in the panel that law enforcement officers are biased against the Trump administration."

According to Rep. Schiff (D-CA), the Democratic Party must release their own memos "establish relevant facts and expose the misleading characters of the Republic's documents" and to clear the air. "

Schiff went on to characterize Republican ambitions as simple as, "another attempt to divert attention from Russian investigations and weaken special advisers."

Many disillusioned Democrats, the liberation of minority memos to the general public was eventually rejected on the basis of party votes. However, as reported by Byron York of the Washington Examiner, the committee voted unanimously to make minority counter-memos available to all members of Parliament - a similar process was initially followed by a GOP memo.

In a press conference after the ballot, Schiff stated that he was concerned about the enduring damage that would be done to "our agency" as a result of releasing this information to the general public.

Schiff stated that he did not see any harassment by the FBI under surveillance and that this release was just a distraction from a Russian inquiry. Schiff further stated that members of the Republican committee were only concerned about releasing the memo because it would ultimately benefit the President.

In closing, Schiff stated that a vote by today's committee does not mean that an investigation into the so-called "Trump-Russian collusion" is about to end.

However, today's vote to approve the release of the memo to the public is not the last step. Before the memo can be released to the general public, it must go to the White House, where the President has a period of five days to approve or disapprove of his release.

But as previously reported The Washington Times, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has voiced government support for the release of the memo, stating: "We certainly support full transparency ... It sounds like there are some members in the House who have some real concern with what who was in the memo, and felt so strongly that the American public should know the secret to seeing it. "

Non-compliant media will continue to follow this story as it progresses.
