House Intel Committee Shocks the World, Votes to Release Controversial FISA Memo, Heads to Roll
President Trump and his party just made a move. And not simply any move: a monumental, history-changing, power move.
If
you’ve been paying attention to the news the past couple of weeks, you
know the #ReleaseTheMemo campaign has been under full swing and is
gaining momentum.
Unsurprisingly,
this "rallying cry," as it has been dubbed, is led by vocal members of
the right wing community, who have been pushing for the House
Intelligence Committee to release the controversial memo to the public.
During
this time period, the Democrats have strongly pushed back against this
movement, claiming it could threaten sources and national security.
Meanwhile, members of the Republican Congress, who have seen the full
contents of the memo, are very vocal about the level of corruption it
contains.
Regardless
of who is right and who is wrong, we are about to find out the truth.
The House Intelligence committee has voted in favor of releasing the
memo, much to the relief of those who have been pushing for the truth on
this matter.

Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the committee, broke this news to reporters first, saying:
“It is a very sad day, I think, in the history of this committee.”
He
went on at length about why he believes releasing this memo—which
apparently exposes high levels of surveillance abuse and corruption by
members within the FBI and other government institutions—is a bad idea.
Those
who simply want the truth released (and the corruption exposed) were
exhilarated by the news, as evidenced by the overjoyed messages on
Twitter and various other social media networks shortly after it broke.
Meanwhile,
conspiracy theories about what exactly this memo reveals are still
running amuck, as people speculate on its contents.
What
we do know is that we are looking at a roller coaster of a week in the
news cycle, both financially and politically. It’s being reported that
this memo will radically shake the foundation of the FBI and result in
numerous firings—and possibly even criminal charges.
Already,
the first victim has been claimed. FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe
was "removed" from his position after FBI Director Wray was made aware
of the memo's contents, foreshadowing what is to come.
This
will send the markets gyrating, as they seek to adjust to this news and
figure out its full ramifications on the United States government as a
whole.
In
the short term, I believe we will see intense finger pointing, numerous
heads rolling and a public outcry from members of the MSM as they
attempt to spin this story to fit their agendas.
When
the dust settles, though, I believe the markets will respond favorably.
This will result in a huge win for President Trump and his party,
cementing their position and vindicating them on many levels—as well as
adding increased security and stability in the administration and thus
the markets as a whole.
Still,
this is far from over. In fact, it’s just getting started. Strap
yourselves in, put on your helmet and get ready for a bumpy ride. This
is going to be a rough one.
