Rep. Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) office has received crude phone calls and death threats over the “Republican spin memo” that reportedly proves some type of anti-President Trump bias within the FBI and the Department of Justice, Axios reported Tuesday.
Schiff told Axios that the outrage against his office is fueled by Republican rhetoric, which he called “reckless hyperbole” that is “just so destructive to our democracy.”
After Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee voted to release the contents of a classified memo authored by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) staffers, Schiff — the ranking member of the committee — told reporters that he was concerned his panel had “crossed a deeply regrettable line.”
“There was a vote to politicize the declassification process of intelligence and compromise sources and methods,” he said.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has told Democrats to not read the document, CNN reported.
FBI Director Chris Wray reportedly asked the House Intelligence Committee for the chance to come before them and express his concerns about releasing the classified memo.
Democrats have called the memo a “conspiracy theory” propagated by Russian bots and authored a counter memo to debunk some of the claims. That memo, however, was not approved for release Monday evening.
And a simple, false, critical tweet from Trump could be considered by some of his supporters to be the go-ahead to act on their anti-American impulses to help their dear leader.
I keeping hoping for a “have you no decency, sir?” moment.
I am beginning to fear it will never come. At least not while this Maladministration and its Gooper cheerleaders are in power.
There are many days when I think to myself. “It’s the end of the world as we know it…”
A sign that he’s doing the right thing.
Can you imagine working for prez Full Diaper, never knowing from day to day what will set him off? The ass-kissing, toadying, back strabbing, jostling for position and power. Legislating? “Uh…WHAT?!”
Run for office- the 2018 elections are 10 months away! And if Trump and Louie Gohmert and Steve King can get elected what’s to stop a qualified candidate?
Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. You’ll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.
Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.
Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November. Today’s 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.
Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.
Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.
Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, just a year and a half from now, when we redraw Congressional Districts. And Trump is ALREADY trying to rig the census!
And get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases it’s the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST! We can do this!
Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one, and overturn any voter ID laws that are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise the poor and people of color.

What’s puzzling me, is the sheer number of GOPers who are willing to fall on their swords for Trump.
This isn’t going to end well for Nunes, or countless other House Rs, or even Ryan. There is a blazing fire of a wave coming at them this fall, and these idiots keep spraying it down with gasoline hoses.
