Ted Lieu has read the Democratic Party response memo




Ted Lieu

@tedlieu
I read the #DemocraticMemo and @realDonaldTrump is lying. The memo is:
-Not political
-Not long (many adults, and teens, routinely read more pages than this memo)
-Not a revelation of sources & methods.

But unlike the #NunesMemo, it does contain facts. #ReleaseTheDemMemo

They're aren't just greedy and lying—but tawdry, flim-flam scum who stand for nothing.

Democratic leadership for the love of dod just release your frkn memo AS IS. Basta! Enough!

Honestly, what would trumpf do if dems did release memo..have them arrested for treason? Of course, question is rhetorical. Answer: nothing will happen--nada! Well, okay... perhaps he'll attach a silly moniker to dems.

He's not playing fair, so why should we? Even without reading said memorandum, I know that it IS written in excellent form with re-d actions, facts, and notations because congressional dems take their jobs seriously while trumpf thinks being president is a game show.

Trump would probably just go on another Tweet binge, but I think Democrats are trying not to set the wrong precedents with this White House. They know that some day they will take back the White House and hopefully they will be able to restore some order and civility to government. If everyone devolves to the same level, the cycle downward could be endless.

I am really impressed with the dignity and integrity of so many of our Democratic representatives throughout this nightmare. I doubt I could hold it together like they have.

The redactions have already taken place.

This is another political stunt by Trump, meant to deflect the injection of fact and reality into the ridiculous allegations of the Nunes memo...and to throw down yet another obstacle to shedding light on the crimes of the administration.

17. Is there any form of their memo they can release/leak without getting into legal trouble?

I'm not sure, though, whether Trump's refusal to release is even better, as it keeps the discussion focused on, "What does he have to hide?"

The only bright spot in this entire shit show is that he is so god damned stupid and so full of hubris, and that is what will ultimately bring him down.

Not that facts have ever stood in the way of a good Trump lie. Facts have a way of winning arguments though, so Trump wants this memo redacted to remove those "facts" from the debate. I'm sure Trump didn't actually read the memo, since the time spent reading it would cut into his FOX "News" viewing time. Kelly probably gave him the Trump White House version of "Cliff Notes", which means paring it down to three pages or less (double spaced) and every sentence must have at least one mention of "Donald Trump" in it. Pictures of something would also be helpful.

We don't want Dolt45 to overheat, unloosing his emergency hair flap on the back of his head again. A sight like that once in a lifetime is sufficient, thank you.

If he fails to do so, the Democrats ought to make it public. Enough of this bullshit.

Just stated that the Democratic Memo has already been voted on. Trumps 5 days have expired, Dems can now release the memo.

Not sure if this is fact. We shall see. Schiff is one experienced Attorney. He will do nothing that is not in line with the law.

I'm tired of a brain-dead scofflaw thug like trump getting away with anything he pleases, while Democrats are hobbled by rules that the Republicans discarded, years ago. The Democratic Memo should be released, just as soon as possible---"in line with the law" be damned.
