Top Democrats penned a letter to Twitter and Facebook last week demanding the censorship of those who use the hashtag #ReleaseTheMemo. The Democrats claimed Russia is behind the movement, and therefore seek censorship.
The hashtag began after word broke of the jaw-dropping memo on the United States government’s surveillance abuses. Republicans have been working to release the memo to the public, which supposedly contains damning evidence the Obama administration used FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrants to spy on the Trump campaign and his transition team ahead of the president’s inauguration.
So far, the battle to make the memo public has been hard fought and uphill. But those who want the government to be transparent and release it so we can decide for ourselves what’s in it face censorship by Democrats who are begging social media outlets to kill the accounts of those who use the hashtag.
Senator Diane Feinstein and Representative Adam Schiff sent the letter to both Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, and Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter demanding the censorship while claiming it’s “Russia-backed.” Meanwhile, Twitter’s internal analysis of the hashtag has thus far found that authentic American accounts, not Russians, are driving #ReleaseTheMemo, according to The Daily Beast.
Democrats have been invoking Russia to try to shut down the free speech of those desiring transparency.
They [Feinstein and Schiff] relied on a report from the German Marshall Fund’s Alliance for Securing Democracy claiming that #ReleaseTheMemo had become the favorite hashtag of Russian-sponsored Twitter accounts. (The report did not make any judgements about such activity on Facebook.)
“If these reports are accurate, we are witnessing an ongoing attack by the Russian government through Kremlin-linked social media actors directly acting to intervene and influence our democratic process,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Adam Schiff, two California Democrats, wrote to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
But a knowledgeable source says that Twitter’s internal analysis has thus far found that authentic American accounts, and not Russian imposters or automated bots, are driving #ReleaseTheMemo. There are no preliminary indications that the Twitter activity either driving the hashtag or engaging with it is either predominantly Russian. -The Daily Beast
How dare people want the truth! Especially when living in times when the media lies to our faces, is biased in their reporting, and hides documents from the public to try to sway opinion. All these things are what they accuse Russia of doing, but they themselves are deceiving everyone.
Are Democrats just going to cry “Russia” when there’s any sign of public dissent?
Trump should be suing the democrats and left wing media into oblivion.
Yes, i’m sure the uber liberal courts will side with Trump.
Fuck these demonrats. So sick of these commie pricks in our government. When are they going to be charged with treason and sedition?
People give Russia WAY too much credit.
Meanwhile … in Russia …

ftw thanks for that
The libturds can take their commie PC censorship and shove it. They don’t have a leg to stand on.
Evidence suggests a massive scandal is brewing at the FBI
“During the financial crisis, the federal government bailed out banks it declared “too big to fail.” Fearing their bankruptcy might trigger economic Armageddon, the feds propped them up with taxpayer cash.
Something similar is happening now at the FBI, with the Washington wagons circling the agency to protect it from charges of corruption. This time, the appropriate tag line is “too big to believe.”
Yet each day brings credible reports suggesting there is a massive scandal involving the top ranks of America’s premier law enforcement agency.
The reports, which feature talk among agents of a “secret society” and suddenly missing text messages, point to the existence both of a cabal dedicated to defeating Donald Trump in 2016 and of a plan to let Hillary Clinton skate free in the classified email probe.
If either one is true — and I believe both probably are — it would mean FBI leaders betrayed the nation by abusing their powers in a bid to pick the president.”
“More support for this view involves the FBI’s use of the Russian dossier on Trump that was paid for by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
It is almost certain that the FBI used the dossier to get FISA court warrants to spy on Trump associates, meaning it used the opposition research of the party in power to convince a court to let it spy on the candidate of the other party — likely without telling the court of the dossier’s political link.
Even worse, there is growing reason to believe someone in President Barack Obama’s administration turned over classified information about Trump to the Clinton campaign.
As one former federal prosecutor put it, “It doesn’t get worse than that.” That prosecutor, Joseph ¬diGenova, believes Trump was correct when he claimed Obama aides wiretapped his phones at Trump Tower.”

Scandal and doing something about the scandal are two different things.
Have to blame the Ruskies, because they are going to be send some of there own turds to jail when the smoke clears.
Sgt.
The fake news keeps talking impeachment, but never say what felony or high misdemeanors Trump may have committed.
Trump surrounds himself with an ARMY of lawyers. He hasn’t committed shit. Not to say some enthusiastic underling hasn’t done something.
If it comes from a democrat, it’s fake news, sure to be a headline for the MSM.
Wow I can post again? I’ve been locked out for a week.
That is because you suck.
Just kidding.
You must be showing conservative tendencies. Best way to get censored.
thats what happens when your over the target
Real simple, if the memo and all this info is NOT made public, then we know for certain that they are lying to us and no longer represent the best interest of the public. I have my doubts that anything will be released, it is the very base of the power structure in DC that is in question, the alphabet agencies are suspect at best, but for dem “representatives” to be running cover for them is quite telling of the truth
The US government stopped representing the best interest of the people in 1782.
The Dimocrap party is in shambles. They are grasping at straws hoping for a Hail Mary solution. The mid term elections are just around the corner and they know that the odds are they will lose big> now this thing will be drug out by the Republicans so as to be optimal during the primary elections.
Wait a minute. Did I not just hear Dementia Pelosi swear the progs were going to take back the house and senate in 2018? The fool did say that, right?
yup
Mensa Graham, that’s in her DREAMS. All of the libturds are dreaming of that but it’s not happening.
I’m patiently waiting. Got me a whole bunch of good rope. Diane Feinstein and Adam Schiff once the dust settles and they are convicted of their treasons ought to make fine pinatas. Talk about collusion…. geez, anyone else getting sick of the hypocrisies?
I stopped watching the news.
It is ALL they ever talk about. I switch to porn instead.
Democrats need to stick it where the sun don’t shine after showing their true colors recently.
Their disgusting representation of illegal immigrants over the welfare of American citizens should tell anyone with an ounce of sense just who these traitors really are – America hating progs.
I hope somebody in the Senate leaks the hell out of it. Pound sand Dems.
Nothing will come of it.
Trump is president and he can’t even order an investigation. What the hell is he President of? The President of the local Chamber of Commerce has more power than Trump.
The “Russians did it” BS is getting old. I neither know nor communicate with Russians, but want the memo released. These bums just got caught with their hands in the cookie jar and are too childish to ‘fess up. Grow up or go away, Dem operatives.
Oceania, motherfuckers.
Screw you guys. You had the ball you dropped the ball because you’re goddamned incompetent too bad so sad go get fucked.
God damn it Feinstein is older than Moses.
What the hell man when do we get to be done with this insane bitch? We have a fucking monarchy in this country or what?
I remember an SNL skit about her from fucking 1986 for Christ sake.
“Kremlin-linked social media actors directly acting to intervene and influence our democratic process”. WHAT A PIECE OF SHEET! All the Democraps in power are trying to subvert the Democracy process and stage a Coup. Feinstein, Schiff, Waters, THEY ARE THE COMMIES!
do you say dumbocraps
If they are calling for censoring people, then for this constitutional infraction, they should be immediately removed from office. They are not representing Americans, but setting up their own fascist gov.
Do you dumbocraps.
This is all part of the democommie plan to control the American people and turn this country into a dictatorship run by homebumma and his husband or the Hilldebeast and her rapist husband. They have stomped all over the second amendment and are now working on the first amendment with selective censorship. If anyone else would do this, they would be screaming at the top of their pedestals of how terrible it was.
The democommies – the party of rapists, perverts, molesters, dictator wannabes, race baiters, bigots, and repressors. Wake up Americans, and together let’s get these scumbags out of office in the next election. Do not contribute to their party because they are the ones wanting to control you and your way of life.
Seems to me that everything that has come out indicates Clinton and the DNC are the ones who colluded with the Russians. By what right does any individual or group of congress persons DEMAND anything? It takes the entire congress, both houses voting together, to do any action; elsewise we would have budget and spending bills to fund the government.
Perhaps these Congress people should spend their time doing their jobs instead of chasing the spotlight?
If individual members have this kind of power, they should pass budget and spending bills instead of chasing the spotlight for attention. STHU! (Shut The He** Up)
