Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) waited for “hours” according to one reporter, in order to shake President Donald Trump’s hand and ask him, on camera, to “release the memo.”
“Oh, don’t worry,” Trump replied. “A hundred percent. Can you imagine that? He’d be too angry.”
CSPAN published the clip after Trump completed his first State of the Union address Tuesday:

NBC News’ Frank Thorp noted that Duncan “waited HOURS to save that seat to ask President Trump to release the Nunes memo.”
The memo Duncan referenced to the President is one written by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee that supposedly shows an anti-Trump bias in the Obama-era Justice Department and FBI. Democrats have said the memo pulls selectively from a much longer application for a FISA warrant.
The committee voted on party lines to release the memo Monday. Trump has said he supports its release, though the Justice Department has said the move would risk national security.
Of course they’re going to release it. They helped write it.
“Will no one rid me of this meddlesome g-man?”
A chanced upon a Trumpie’s Facebook tonight.
She reposted comments from a fellow Trumpie.
I can’t believe how excited they are. They think the memo’s release will result in the arrest of a whole cabal of Democrats (Obama, Clinton, Huma, John Podesta, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, FBI and DOJ leadership, etc) for colluding to rig the election. Trump won anyway because, God wanted him too. Of course. They are getting this stuff from Sean Hannity, Mark Meadows, Steve King, Rep. Matt Gatetz, and Former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino.
The delusion is strong, really, really strong.
Who is the “he” the Asshole is referring to?
This is what we should be worried about…a large fraction of the US population is being fed propaganda and lies, and it’s to the point that they live in an alternate reality. What happens to the Uniom when reality intrudes on their beliefs? When the Republicans lose, do they rise up to force the government to stay Republican, or make Trump into our first Fuhrer? Or do they start trying to cancel the election, or bomb polling places in liberal areas? That’s where we are headed, all this is pushing us down the road where they really think the government and Democrats are taking over through nefarious means, and this is their last chance to have their America…they don’t seem to understand they have been manipulated into being the agents of the destruction of America.
The next three years are going to be very dangerous for the nation, as dangerous as it was in 1857-1860, with the difference that the people then knew the facts and the arguments, where now the facts don’t matter and the arguments are BS from the Republicans.
