The FBI, led by Christopher Wray - a Trump appointee - probably doesn’t want the “memo” to be released for the following reasons:The memo discusses classified intelligence that could be compromised if released to the public. [1]The memo is full of lies. [2]Here is a quick background on this memo and why it shouldn’t be trusted by the public (I may continue making edits here and there as more info comes out):The memo was created by Rep. Devin Nunes (Committee Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee) and his staffers.The memo is not official findings from the House Intelligence Committee; it is a deeply partisan document. [3]During the process of writing the memo:Nunes never read the classified documents that his staffers used to write the memo. [4]Nunes refused to allow the FBI to brief the Committee on the harms releasing the memo could cause. [4]Reasons why Nunes’s motives in creating the memo should be looked at with scrutiny:Nunes was on Trump’s transition team.Nunes has already has a history of being a dishonest sycophant for Trump:Last March (2017), Nunes defended Trump’s claim that he had been wiretapped by Obama at the Trump Tower during the 2016 election. [5]What Trump’s faulty claim was actually in reference to was that some of Trump’s transition personnel had been in contact with foreigners - who were legally under surveillance - and had their conversations picked up, known as incidental surveillance.Nunes held a press conference and defended Trump by conflating incidental surveillance as Trump being wire tapped. Trump later tweeted that Nunes had “vindicated” Trump’s claims.However, it later came out that Nunes had gotten this info, which was classified, from the White House, making the entire thing an obvious joint effort between the White House and Nunes to legitimize Trump’s false claims.Because Nunes teamed up with the White House in an effort to legitimize Trump’s lies, he recused himself from the House Intelligence Committee for 8 months (April, 2017 - December of 2017) while he was investigated by the House Ethics Committee for his conduct.The Ethics Committee closing its investigation into Nunes doesn’t mean that Nunes was vindicated: [6]…the committee was never able to obtain or review the classified information at the heart of the inquiry, according to three congressional sources briefed on the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press. The panel’s inability to determine for itself what may or may not have been classified—and what Nunes had actually been shown—likely contributed to its decision to close the investigation, according to one source.Nunes refused to abide by the rules of his recusal, continuously interfering in a variety of ways:Nunes subpoenaed the FBI, CIA and NSA about the unmasking of Trump associates (Early Summer, 2017) even though he was not supposed to be able to use his subpoena power during the recusal.Nunes met with Erik Prince (blackwater founder and brother of Betsy Devos) to discuss Nunes’s investigation into the unmasking process (May, 2017). [7] This raised eyebrows because Prince is: 1. a witness in the Russian probe 2. is said to have had a key role in efforts to set up a back channel of communication for Trump and Russia [8] and 3. Prince met with Nunes before Prince’s testimony to the House Intelligence Committee.Nunes sent his staffers to London to track down Christopher Steele, author of the Dossier (Summer, 2017). Neither of the House Intelligence Committee Leaders were informed that this was happening - it seemed that Nunes’s goal in sending his staffers was to bypass official channels in contacting Steele. [9]Nunes wrote a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI director, Christopher Wray (September, 2017), threatening to hold them in contempt of court if they didn’t give Nunes documents regarding the Steele Dossier. [10]Nunes subpoenaed Fusion GPSs (October, 2017), the firm that produced the Dossier compiled by Steele, demanding documents and testimony without the Minority’s consent. [11]Nunes subpoenas Fusion GPS’s bank. [12](this raised eyebrows since Nunes had - before he “recused” himself - refused to subpoena Deutsche Bank. Trump owes ~$300 million to this bank, which has been under investigation for a money laundering scheme with Russian oligarchs). [13]Nunes opened an investigation into the already debunked “Uranium One” conspiracy. [14] Roger Stone, a trump “confidant and former advisor” said that this move was to investigate and discredit Mueller since he had been the FBI director at the time. [15]So, when the news broke about Nunes’s memo, the initial assumption amongst intelligence experts was that it would be a repeat of the wiretap lie - Nunes purposely misrepresenting Intelligence to defend Trump.The public messaging strategy about the memo was bizarre:GOP politicians started a “release the memo” hashtag on twitter that Russian bots helped amplify as a beginning to a campaign to release it. [16]The claims that the memo makes seem to have the purpose of spreading baseless conspiracies:The memo’s main allegation, according to officials who have seen it, is that the surveillance of Carter Page (a Trump campaign policy advisor with business ties to Russia), was improperly authorized and potentially politically motivated. [17]While Carter Page was advising the Trump Campaign, he went to Moscow and met with Russian officials.The DOJ and FBI were concerned, so they sent an application to a FISA court to surveil Page, which was granted. [18] [19]Nunes’s memo alleges that the surveillance on Page relied solely on the Christopher Steele Dossier. [20] [19]Page had, in fact, been under scrutiny by the FBI since at least 2013. In 2013, Russian spies tried to recruit Page. [21]Nunes also alleges that it is a major problem to rely on the Dossier since Hillary Clinton’s campaign financed Steele’s research (the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative news website, originally funded Fusion GPS and stopped financing it after Trump won the Republican nomination [22]).Nunes’s memo goes on to claim that the FBI’s FISA application was therefore dishonest because (again, Nunes alleges) spying on Page was done based on partisan opposition research. This is faulty logic for the following reasons:Some of the claims in Steele’s Dossier have proven to be true. [23]Hypothetically, even if the FBI’s surveillance application relied partially on Steels’s research, that doesn’t discredit a surveillance application.The memo’s claims are impossible to evaluate without seeing the intelligence it was based on.And finally, Asha Rangappa, Yale Law Professor, lays out the absurdity of Nunes’s claims:The Nunes Memo reportedly alleges that at least a dozen FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors fabricated evidence, engaged in a criminal conspiracy to commit perjury, lucked out on being randomly assigned Judge Low Blood Sugar who looked the other way, and — coincidentally — ended up obtaining evidence that justified extending the initial FISA surveillance. ...If Nunes has in fact singlehandedly uncovered this vast criminal enterprise, it’s hard to know what’s more astonishing: That a government bureaucracy managed to pull it off — or that Nunes has exposed it all in a scant four-page memo. [24]Trump has been telling friends and supporters that the memo will help him discredit the investigation into the 2016 presidential election, making the memo look like a tool for obstruction of justice. [25]The second part of Nunes’s memo apparently looks at the reauthorization of surveillance on Page, authorized by Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein. [19]Rosenstein is currently in charge of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.Since Trump can’t directly fire Mueller (only the Deputy Attorney General can since the Attorney General- Jeff Sessions - recused himself from investigations involving Trump and Russia since he did not properly disclose contacts he had with Russian officials), he may attempt to fire Rosenstein and use the memo as an excuse to do so. [19]Here is a brief timeline of Carter Page in 2016 (notice that Page had officially left the Trump campaign for almost a month before the FBI obtained a FISA warrant to surveil Page): [26]Update 1:Based on a couple of articles I’ve read, it appears that Page was first under FISA surveillance in 2013: [27]…the FBI obtained a first FISA warrant to eavesdrop on Page’s electronic communications during 2013. And they have been paying attention to him, on and off, ever since.If these articles are true, then I think that Page being under FISA surveillance in 2013 completely disproves the allegations in Nunes’s memo.Here is a chart I made about the process the FBI goes through in obtaining a FISA warrant:Update 2:The memo was released today (02/02/2018). Here’s the link: Read the disputed memo hereUpdate 3:Here is the rebuttal to Nunes’s memo by Rep. Schiff: http://docs.house.gov/meetings/ig/ig00/20180205/106838/hmtg-115-ig00-20180205-sd002.pdfUpdate 4:Here is the most important part of Nunes’s memo that Schiff disproves:Nunes - claims that the FBI relied on opposition research (Steele’s Dossier) that was funded by Clinton’s campaign to apply for a FISA warrant for Page without disclosing the source of the opposition research to the FISA Judge.Schiff’s response: cites a passage from the FISA application requesting to surveil Page - the FISA application clearly says that Steele’s research had been hired as opposition research.Nunes’s false claim about the FBI lying about its sourcing to the FISA judge was the basis that his memo was written on. Because Schiff provided information that showed Nunes’s was wrong, Nunes’s entire memo comes apart.Update 5:The House Republicans released a response to Schiff’s memo: https://intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/democrat_memo_charge_and_response.pdfUpdate 6:The response from the House Republicans to Schiff’s memo attempts to refute Schiff’s claims, but it fails to do so. The biggest claim the House Republicans try to protect from Nunes’s original memo is the claim about the FBI’s lack of transparency about the Steele Dossier. The House Republicans now say that because the sourcing of the Steele Dossier was placed in the footnotes, it was, and I quote:…clearly an attempt to avoid informing the Court, in a straightforward manner that the DNC and Clinton campaign paid for the dossier.This is a laughable defense by Republicans.Update 7:Around a week ago (July 21, 2018), the FBI released a heavily redacted version of the FISA application into Carter Page under the Freedom of Information Act (The New York Times and Judicial Watch both sued for it to be released) [28].Of the 412 pages, the FISA application makes it clear what the reasons were for surveilling Page - that Page had most likely been recruited by the Russian government to help interfere in the 2016 election and that Page had maintained relationships with Russian government officials and intelligence officers: [28]The redacted FISA document makes it clear that the Steele Dossier was part of the application, but not all of it. It also disproves Nunes’s memo by stating that Steele was most likely looking for damaging information on Trump but stated that Steele had been a reliable source in the past. The document shows that all four of the judges who weighed in on it - all republicans - were very aware of the background of the Steele Dossier and had other evidence provided to them as well:To understand the length of the section (section III) that includes the Steele Dossier compared to the length of the other sections of information in the FISA documents, here’s a chart from the Washington Post: [29]There is A LOT of information in this FISA application, but for the sake of not veering off topic, I just wanted to show how intentionally misleading and dishonest Nunes’s memo was since his premise was based on falsehoods.Footnotes[1] Analysis | The FBI just gave us another reason to be skeptical of the GOP memo criticizing the bureau[2] FBI Director Opposes Release of ‘False’ Nunes Memo[3] The Republican Party Turns Against the FBI[4] The Nunes memo crosses a dangerous line[5] Analysis | The Devin Nunes wiretapping saga, explained[6] The Circumscribed Ethics Investigation Into Devin Nunes[7] http://docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG00/20171130/106661/HHRG-115-IG00-Transcript-20171130.pdf[8] https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/blackwater-founder-held-secret-seychelles-meeting-to-establish-trump-putin-back-channel/2017/04/03/95908a08-1648-11e7-ada0-1489b735b3a3_story.html[9] Secretive search for man behind Trump dossier reveals tension in Russia inquiry[10] http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2017/images/09/06/chm.ltr.to.ag.sessions.re.subpoena.compliance--1.september.17.pdf[11] Nunes signs off on new subpoenas to firm behind Trump-Russia dossier[12] We just got a big reminder of how much Devin Nunes still controls the House's Russia probe[13] Robert Mueller just subpoenaed Trump’s favorite bank.
