Opinion: The True Significance Of The Memo

in government •  7 years ago 

This past week, the state of our political contention boiled to a tipping point. The prospects of a vindicated President Trump, the possibility of a corrupt FBI, and the likely over-estimated malice with which Trump was supposedly treated regarding Russia, has left the country up in arms about the memo. Democrats and members of the FBI have been adamant about not releasing the memo, warning that its release would have been a threat to National Security. However, while supposedly being a security threat, the partisan opposition also seemed to argue that the memo would ultimately be negligible in determining foul play. In other words, a “nothing burger”. The vehement contention and desperation with which Trump’s opposition in the Democratic Party and the FBI seemed to object to the release of the Nunes Memo, hinted to many that are sympathetic to Trump that the memo likely contained incriminating information regarding the FBI. In fact, right-wing media circles often repeated the idea that this scandal on behalf of the Clinton campaign, the Fusion GPS dossier, and possible corruption at the highest levels of the FBI, make the Watergate scandal pale in comparison. And now upon its release, President Trump claims that he is vindicated. Conservatives, commentators, and the President must react to all available information with the same prudence and honesty to the facts they expected from the Democrats and the media during the height of the “collusion” suspicion.
