How is it irrelevant what a Republican Assistant Attorney General, who used to work for Jeff Sessions, and who was appointed by Trump, says - he can’t be accused of being biased towards the Democrats.

He is the liaison between the DoJ and Congress - it is his job to advise on things like this.
That may be so, but I’d like see it in black and white, the who, when and where. Transparency essential, because it’s been Russia Russia Russia for a long time, with no actual evidence found, when all along, the scandals were being done via FBI, DNC and Crooked Hillary campaign.

Btw, I want to see the Democrat Memo. Some Republican Congressionals have read it, said it doesn’t negate what’s in the original. A few have said there is a few sourcing issues and some inaccuracies that need addressing before it’s released. It will probably get leaked though knowing the Democrats.

Sounds like you have different standards of evidence for Republicans and Democrats?

I certainly do, the Democrats I don’t trust, I thought I said that already.

(Given their rigging behaviours in the election). They are going get burned in this memo by all accounts.

Looks like your wish may be granted:

Quote from The Sun:

Republicans have voted to release a secret memo claiming the FBI abused its powers while investigating Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

Ignoring opposition from the Justice Department, members of the president’s party on the House intelligence committee voted to release the classified memo.

The document is alleged to show improper use of surveillance by the Bureau and the Justice Department in the course of the Russia investigation.

The four-page memo sparked the hashtag #releasethememo when its existence was revealed with pro-Trumpers believing it could put the kibosh on the Trump/Russia investigation.

It has become a political flashpoint, with Trump and many Republicans pushing for its release and suggesting that some in the Justice Department and FBI have conspired against the president.

The memo was written by Republicans, led by committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes of California, a close Trump ally who has become a fierce critic of the FBI and the Justice Department.

Not that I am a believer of polls but they put his speech in favourable standing...

CNN Poll. 70% Approval (Yes a CNN poll)
CBS Poll. 75% Approval

The Democrats showed themselves for who they were last night, did not stand when various achievements had been met, booed at times when Trump was telling stories of murdered kids by illegal immigrants. America will remember that in the Midterms later this year and in 2020. The looks on Sanders, Schumer and Pelosi's face said it all, what a pathetic set of shills the Dems are.

Then the next embarrassing thing for them was Joe Kennedy III, standing in front of a car, not sure that was a wise idea, given the scandal with his Uncle Ted Kennedy, appearing to drool while giving the Democrats response, he kept having to pause and take a breath. He may be from the Kennedy family, but he ain't no JFK.

Crikey! More corruption being dug up in Trump's ever-churning administration and no it's not of the Russian flavour! This time it's Brenda Fitzgerald who's been caught out buying shares in a tobacco company, despite her job being to reduce smoking!

“It’s like a Mormon elder buying and selling stocks in whiskey,” said Richard Painter, who served as the chief White House ethics lawyer during the presidency of George W Bush. “It’s just fundamentally contrary to being a doctor. It shows no fundamental understanding of conflicts of interest.”

Bit like when the pro tobacco Ken Clarke was made Health minister, smoking his cigars and swilling his pints !
He later went into the tobacco industry and the NHS has been sick ever since.

Or pious Christian Reece Mogg going on tv preaching about being anti abortion whilst he invests in a company that produces abortion capable pills, I thought someone round here would have exposed him for that level of hypocrisy by now

Wasn't this a case of him owning units of a fund which itself owned shares in a company which produced the pills?

The FBI has publicly challenged a push by Republican lawmakers to release a controversial memo which purports to show anti-Trump bias at the agency.

"We have grave concerns about the material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy," the FBI said in a statement.
I am sure Republicans will just see this as more FBI bias.

Why? Is the FBI not allowed to defend itself and bring forward evidence proving anything in the memo is inaccurate?

Not if the information is classified no.
