With the imminent release of the controversial FISA document, Nancy Pelosi has pulled out all the stops to discredit Rep. Devin Nunes and his “bogus memo.”
The House Minority Leader has been on a personal mission to strip the California Republican of his House Intelligence Committee chairmanship over a memo he spear-headed that purportedly details surveillance abuses by the FBI and the Department of Justice.
“It’s a bogus memo. It’s not based on fact,” Pelosi told reporters Friday. “But it does reference highly classified intelligence matters. Now we see that he’s even altered the memo, to make matters worse.”
The California Democrat was referring to “technical edits” made to the document at the request of the FBI. Republican lawmakers voted along party lines Monday to release the memo and President Trump has indicated that he agrees.
But Democrats have thrown an ongoing tantrum in the days and hours before the proposed release of the controversial four-page document. Pelosi blew up her Twitter account on Thursday, warning of Nunes’ “obsession,” and calling for his removal.
RETWEET if you are concerned about @DevinNunes’ obsession with prioritizing short-term politics over America’s long-term national security! #RemoveNunes

.@DevinNunes’ deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. @SpeakerRyan must immediately remove him from this position. #RemoveNunes https://t.co/RPehm3Rvib

Using the hashtag #RemoveNunes, Pelosi continued her tweet storm Thursday.
.@DevinNunes is putting our national security at risk, ignoring concerns from the FBI & DOJ to advance a conspiracy theory. RT if you know Speaker Ryan must #RemoveNunes immediately! pic.twitter.com/dMBef0491t

We have to be able to trust that the House Intel Chairman will put long-term national security before short-term politics. @DevinNunes has proven he can’t.#RemoveNunes, @SpeakerRyan. pic.twitter.com/rgijiNpawY

The Democratic lawmaker also fired off a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan demanding Nunes be removed as Intel Committee chair, saying that Nunes “has disgraced the House Intelligence Committee” and “abused his position.” She also declared the “bogus” memo is part of a GOP-led “cover-up to hide the truth about the Trump-Russia scandal.”
Pelosi capped off her Twitter meltdown with a link to a “#mustread” Washington Post editorial which “lays out the grievous actions of @DevinNunes — or inactions, in the case of @SpeakerRyan.”
If you don’t fully understand why we need to #RemoveNunes from his position as Chairman if the House Intel Committee, this piece is a #mustread road map. It perfectly lays out the grievous actions of @DevinNunes — or inactions, in the case of @SpeakerRyan. https://t.co/IV8PlthQ8A

Pelosi’s meltdown over the FISA memo and Rep. Nunes seem to have sent her over the edge.
Obama’s stooge @NancyPelosi has to go. Her reckless, unpatriotic and pro-illegal alien vision is carelessly damaging our institutions.#ReleaseTheMemo What are you Dems afraid of! https://t.co/QwvkaxYJGO

Excuse me Nancy, but as an AMERICAN you’d think YOU as a member of our governing body would WANT to know about and remove any corruption at our highest law enforcement agencies? Objecting makes you look complicit in it or covering for what illegal actions Dems have done.

I have just one thing to say to Nancy Pelosi…
Trump has to #ReleaseTheMemo so you can find out what’s in it.
