How? They deliberately redacted trivial things like the fact the FBI had known about and been watching Page since 2013 (long before Trump was even running for office,) that the application to renew the FISA warrant contained new information, as the law requires, that the renewed surveillance was delayed until after he left the Trump campaign precisely BECAUSE they did not want to interfere in the election and that the FBI agent accused of anti-Trump bias was the very one who sent Congress the letter announcing the investigation into Huma Abedins laptop in the campaigns final week (AKA the scandal that made the race competitive again, despite the fact that every single email on the laptop was one the FBI had already seen and reviewed on that private server Colin Powell told Clinton to use.) That is just the stuff Nunes omitted, not the outright FALSEHOODS included despite him KNOWING they were false (the technical term for that is "a lie.")

You assume a great deal; unlike the cases of Dem senators releasing the testimony of Kushner and Trump Jr. over the objections of Republican committee chairs, much of what the stuff the House Intelligence Committee reviews is classified (if you look at the actual memo, you will see the words "TOP SECRET" struck through atop each page) so releasing it without the presidents approval would be a serious federal crime (just ask Scooter Libby.) Of course, it is the presidents call as chief executive and commander-in-chief, so if he WANTS it released to serve a political agenda, it will be (just ask Valerie Plame, and every undercover US anti-terrorism operative who had contact with her while she was undercover, or had contact with them, or had contact with them, etc. etc....)"

This is not just partisan competition, man: That is why a host of REPUBLICANS are outraged and alarmed (most notably James Comey, Robert Mueller, Christopher Wray and Rod Rosenstein.) They will still cave for the sake of the party when the time comes to DO more than talk for the sake of the country, as has consistently been the case with Graham, Collins and everyone but McCain that one time. But pretending all the Republican DoJ and FBI execs from the Bush administrations are somehow "Democrats" just because they refuse to protect a fellow Republican when he proves to also be a tool of a hostile foreign government is absurd. For heavens sake, Rosenstein served on Ken Starrs committee trying to impeach Bill Clinton, and W nominated for him as a federal judge: Just how much of a "leftist Democrat" is that?
