As usual hypocrisy is rife in the White House.
Despite the protests of the FBI Trump allowed the Nunes memo to be released but is blocking the democratic response.
Although many people clampers for the release of Nunes’s memo I hear crickets about our right to know what’s going on and that this one should be released.
“A former lawyer in the George W. Bush White House on Friday criticized President Trump's decision to block the release of a memo drafted by Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee.
Jamil Jaffer, who in the past served as senior counsel to the House Intelligence Committee and also as a former law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, said Trump's move was a "massive strategic miscalculation."
"The White House's failure to declassify the House Intelligence Committee minority memo - particularly in the face of unanimous bipartisan vote by the committee - represents a massive strategic miscalculation," Jaffer said, according to Politico.”
"Even worse," Jaffer continued, "This unforced error undermines the PResident's own ability to make the case about alleged failures in the intelligence collection process and, as such, is yet another example of this White House being its own worst enemy."
