With the nation's attention transfixed on the fate of the "bombshell" 4-page FISA memo, and when (and if) it will be released to the public, moments ago Congressman Jeff Duncan (R-SC), unveiled another big hint about not only the contents of the memo, but why the FBI is fighting valiantly to prevents its release, to wit:
"Having read “The Memo,” the FBI is right to have “grave concerns” - as it will shake the organization down to its core - showing Americans just how the agency was weaponized by the Obama officials/DNC/HRC to target political adversaries."

And, appropriately enough, moments later CNN reported that "according to multiple sources", White House aides are worried FBI Director Christopher Wray could quit if the highly controversial Republican memo alleging the FBI abused its surveillance tools is released.
Wray has made clear he is frustrated that President Donald Trump picked him to lead the FBI after he fired FBI Director James Comey in May, yet his advice on the Nunes memo is being disregarded and cast as part of the purported partisan leadership of the FBI, according to a senior law enforcement official.
Wray's stance is "raising hell," one source familiar with the matter said.
The potential release of the memo penned by House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes has set up a standoff with Trump against both the FBI and Department of Justice. Although the President has signaled that he is inclined to release the memo, as part of an effort to undercut the special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, senior officials inside the White House are trying to come up with a solution that satisfies both the President and law enforcement officials like Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
CNN caveats that Wray "has not directly threatened to resign after clashing with Trump over the possible release of the memo, the source added, because that is not his style of dealing with conflict" which likely means that the CNN report is just another trial balloon attempt to escalate the situation, and prevent Trump from greenlighting the memo's release, although considering earlier reports from the White House that Trump will approve the memo, it is unclear how he can reverse now; if he does, Wray may now have no choice but to resign once the memo is made public.
In any case, should the FISA memo go public, Trump's standoff with the deep state is about to go nuclear.

Last week, Wray was going to quit if McCabe was fired--am I the only one who remembers that?
Quite a few distinguished Oracles of Zero Hedge have predicted that the FISA Memo will be very anti-climactic. I ain’t no Oracle, but I agree with them.
It is going to be as disappointing as ripping open a Christmas Gift Box and finding somebody else’s inflatable girlfriend. ;-)

Even if the redacted, edited for mass public Gas Light Consumption Memo isn’t all what’s it’s cracked up to be. The irrefutable High Crimes, Treason, Sedition & perhaps planned assassination of a sitting President aren’t.
There’s more than enough evidence in the Public Square & Open Source Investigations to Arrest, Enprison, Indict, Convict & Execute the Criminals & their Co Conspirators.
That absolutely NO arrests or indictments have occurred is telling. It’s absolute, complete, open in your Face
Tyrannical Lawlessness.
Fuck them & their Tyrannical Lawlessness.
Come April 15, #PackaGun&PayNoTax to their Tyrannical Lawlessness System of Crime, Debt, Bondage & Enslavement.

McCabe wasn't fired - yet.

I'm guessing Christopher Wray is part of the deep state conspiracy against President Trump.

Good. I hope that deep state rat does quit.
The FBI is beyond corrupt. They did illegal NSA surveillance on President Trump, and are also covering up the Las Vegas shooting!
Still still no video security footage of Stephen Paddock in the Mandalay Bay!
There's the door.
This is nothing. Release the "true" FBI JFK docs for a real cluster f@ck
I feel like a kid in a divorcing family. Stop with the bullshit. Release or don't but don't posture every five minute. ZH you are a drama queen
So we're supposed to be surprised that .gov is infested with Obozo lackeys and traitors ??
Adios asshole
Quit you fucker... and take every last one of them with you... good riddance you bitches...
I've got Trumps back. I can get to DC in two tanks of gas
Yeah, have to protect the "brotherhood" at all costs, typical cop tactic
Good QUIT. Do it now, deep state lizard.
fucking burn it down... Trump should put on The Joker makeup tomorrow as it is released
The entire FedGov Complex needs an Enema...and then Repeat until squeaky clean.
One can only hope it does IF what's in that memo points to misconduct.
