This is all perfectly normal:
In a rare public statement on Wednesday, the FBI said that it has "grave concerns" about a Republican-crafted memo alleging corrosive abuse of U.S. surveillance powers by the Justice Department that is expected to be released in the coming days.
"With regard to the House Intelligence Committee’s memorandum, the FBI was provided a limited opportunity to review this memo the day before the committee voted to release it," the bureau said.
"As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy."
Telling him that the memo is not only inaccurate but that its release would be a security risk, the Republican Deputy Attorney General Trump himself appointed and the FBI Director Trump himself appointed went to the White House today and asked that the memo not be made public, but the White House is determined to barrel ahead.
Let's be clear: The Deputy Attorney General, the FBI Director, and now the FBI itself say the memo is inaccurate and shouldn't be released, but Trump wants it out there. His press flacks say it's about transparency, even though they won't allow the release of the Schiff memo that point-by-point refutes this false piece of partisan propaganda. Not to mention his tax returns. And the only reason for the false memo's existence is that the White House and its minions want to undermine the investigation into whether or not Trump and his team committed a raft of crimes involving a conspiracy with a hostile foreign power. A hostile foreign power Trump this week refused to sanction, in defiance of a law he signed, after it received overwhelming bipartisan approval in Congress.
It's hiding in plain sight. The lights are blinking red.
