He is against an entire machine, with the weight of trillions of dollars behind it and the entire mainstream media and online social website industrial complexes (twitter, Facebook) against him.
It has to come out because of the outcry of the people. By the representatives of the people. By the House intelligence Committee. That is the most effective way and must be first attempted because the fallout will be huge.

Because Trump is incredibly shrewd. I know people like to think they're smarter than him, but he's an incredibly sharp individual. If I were in his shoes, I would have declassified and dumped all of this months ago--however, he's playing it much better. He's having a "hands-off" approach to this. That way his critics cannot have anything to point to him ceasing the investigation into him. He knows he cannot directly fire Mueller without that starting impeachment proceedings. So, he's having Congress do the work for him. Methodically, the truth is coming out and is grinding away at the Democrats' narrative. Memos are coming out gradually that are neutering the Mueller investigation.
Many people ridicule Jeff Sessions for his impotence. I differ. I think he's behind the scenes disarming the Deep State. He made the mistake by hastily recusing himself, but perhaps in the long-run it was for the best.
I've always thought Trump was either incredibly smart or incredibly lucky because many things seem to break his way. Remember, this guy not only beat Hillary Clinton with Obama spying on his campaign, but he bested 16 or 17 other of the top Republicans in the primaries with the RNC rigging it. I think he's very shrewd---I think it's waaaay too coincidental that Rosenstein appointed Mueller, and based on the talk around this FISA memo, Rosenstein will be fired (and may go to jail), and based on the IG report about Uranium One, Mueller will be implicated. This story is way too perfect to be coincidental---I have to think Trump is having a hand in all of this behind the scenes with Jeff Sessions.
The brilliance of Trump is that he keeps his opponents from getting their footing and keeps them guessing. To everyone else, he seems volatile and changes his mind every 2 minutes when in reality he doesn't. He just makes you THINK he does. So you spend more time thinking about his position than yours. Time after time his opponents fall into this trap. And people refuse to give him credit because to them it's insulting to think he is that smart...and yet, he's the President of the United States. That's not easy to do given he was accused of everything under the sun and STILL won.

Yep, I think DACA was punted to 2018 to put pressure on RINOs and make the primaries about immigration. It then makes Democrats look ridiculous they want amnesty for illegals to appease their Leftist base. There won't be a DACA deal, which will encourage even further Leftist Democrats to run, which won't win in a 2018 general vs. a Republican.
Also, I think drawing out the misery in the scandals Congress/IG is looking into is going to be a cold shower on Democrats. They're very arrogant at the moment, and I think 2018 may go completely the other direction from what people are anticipating.

I am anticipating a GOP landslide in November. The democrats are leaderless, have lost any meaningful focus as a party, have pitted themselves against the blue collared workers and whites in general, and will be crippled by the scandals which will be revealed in full in the course of this year.
I don’t think we see a Democrat majority in the House for a long time...

Also, the most corrupt politicians from both sides have lost their funding from the Saudis. The fake resistance parties like Antifa have also lost significant funding (bye bye Soros). The Rothschilds are on the run. The puppet strings are being cut and that is why a record amount are not seeking re election or being forced out because of “sexual misconduct” (read: we have the goods on you, go out with sexual misconduct or we will expose your more serious sins (treason) to the world).

If this is really so bad, why didn't they release it before voting to reauthorize FISA?
What do you mean?

That of course is a great question... we can only guess.
Most of us will guess the same thing.
What may still be interesting to watch:
Trump STILL has to sign the extension into law... and
I think he will... but
the timing of the memo release (if very soon)
will cause the eyes and minds of the Nation (and select anti 702 voices)
to turn directly to and challenge Truimp to NOT sign it.
That would be fun.

This is why they lost. For years their bread and butter was the blue collar working class. In this last election the working man became the uneducated redneck in their eyes. I know a few die-hard union workers who never voted republican in the past (NEVER), who voted for Trump. If anything the democrats didn't learn their lesson, in fact their rhetoric has increased.
I don't quite share your optimism, but regardless, there are interesting times ahead.

I agree with all of this, and I'd add that the beauty of things from Trump's perspective is that he really doesn't have to be a genius to do anything that he's done so far in politics. He simply needs to be clean and aware of how those around him are not. If he just holds his cards close to his vest and never overplays his hand, sooner or later his opponents are forced to reveal theirs -- and because they've got literally decades of corruption and incompetence behind them, they can NEVER actually win.

What's (so far) LOST in media/congressional reporting is not JUST the FBI's role... but the CIA's collusion as well. They (CIA) were the GENESIS.It wasn't 'commissioned'... it was simply SOLD (DNC was a 'duped' CUSTOMER)

New York court breaks rules, refuses investigation into James Comey
https://truepundit.com/new-york-cour...n-james-comey/
The New York courts have refused to pursue an investigation against former FBI Director James Comey and several other major figures involved in the Clinton email scandal, seemingly breaking their own rules in the process.
Ty Clevenger, a lawyer, had filed grievances against Mr. Comey and three others saying they violated fundamental rules of lawyers’ ethics by the way they handled the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails.
The New York grievance commission, in a letter dated earlier this month, rejected all of the complaints without comment.
Under the commission’s own rules it is supposed to provide “a brief description of the basis for the determination,” so the move to dismiss the grievances without any reason was striking.
“The independent review has now taken place and I have been formally advised that the committee decided not to proceed further with your complaints,” Jorge Dopico, the chief attorney for the disciplinary committee’s first judicial department, said in the Jan. 9 letter.
“Accordingly, we cannot be of further assistance in these matters,” he concluded.

==========Fitton: One Step Closer to Facts About James Comey Memos
http://www.breitbart.com/big-governm...s-comey-memos/
U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg has given us an important victory in our quest for the truth about former FBI Director James Comey and his infamous memos.
Boasberg ruled that the FBI must turn over to the court for in camera, non-public review of Comey’s memos allegedly detailing conversations he had with President Donald Trump.
The court, in seeking to review the documents, shows it does not trust the FBI or Justice Department’s representations about the memos. We hope now that Americans are one step closer to knowing the facts about these memos, which were written and leaked for pernicious purposes to target a sitting president with a criminal investigation. It’s high time they begin to see the light of day. We’re glad the court followed up on our specific suggestion that it review the documents directly.
The court order tells the government to turn over the Comey memos for review by January 18. In doing so, the court rejects arguments by the Sessions Justice Department to dismiss the lawsuits seeking the Comey information.

Enough with the political circus and show-boating. Someone needs to go Adam Schiff and just leak the memo and the supporting evidence.

FBI Mysteriously “Loses” Five Months of Text Messages Between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com...and-lisa-page/
http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/21/fb...i-trump-texts/
a disclosure by top FBI officials that text messages between Strzok and Page have gone missing.
According to information relayed to Senator Ron Johnson, the period of time the FBI has “lost”
is from December 14th, 2016 to May 17th, 2017, the exact day that Special Counsel Robert Mueller was assigned to lead the Russia collusion probe.
Stephen Boyd, the assistant attorney general for legislative affairs at the Justice Department attributed the failure to:
“misconfiguration issues related to rollouts, provisioning, and software upgrades that conflicted with the FBI’s collection capabilities.”
“The result was that data that should have been automatically collected and retained for long-term storage and retrieval was not collected,”
