WNU Editor: Kudos to the Trump administration's decision to not fight this ACLU request thereby having these memos released now instead of at some later date. As to the memos themselves .... according to the ACLU these memos are a bombshell because they reveal how much the law was disregarded by the FBI and U.S. intelligence agencies. This is something to remember about when we hear former President Obama intel chiefs carping and complaining about President Trump .... Former Intelligence Chiefs Criticise President Trump. Former CIA Director Brennan Encourages Government Officials To Not Follow President Trump's Orders On Robert Mueller (July 25, 2017) .... or when former FBI Director and now Special Counsel Robert Mueller makes his report on his Russian collusion investigation.
