Ryan, I didn't see specific mention of 100,000 NG members in this draft memo, do you?

i'm not AP, but i imagine that they tallied up the number of guardsmen that could be called up if it were carried out

yeah, that's what I think too, memo didn't say it specifically, thanks again for posting that memo! really important to share

some people also noted the states weren’t mentioned, but the memo says border states and their contiguous states, so ...

yes, I saw that too. And thank you again for making that memo available. It was critical to have that out in the public.

Nobody verifies, anything anymore. Now they're reporting a doc, that never got to those in charge.

to the contrary, reporting on draft documents has long been a vital part of journalism

It doesn't appear to mention the seven states that AP says it does?

It is in section D. TX, NM AZ and CA border Mexico. CO, UT, NV, LA and OR then border them

@Olivianuzzi I'm missing where it says DRAFT. Anywhere.

there's no official DHS letterhead. Look really fake.

I've drafted lots of things without letterhead, but they had words draft attached.

maybe, however if it doesn't have draft or a letterhead then any random person could've wrote it.

| You probably spent 8 years saying govt couldn't be trusted. Now you're a sheep.

government docs, even drafts would have official letterheads

| So you think the AP just sat down and typed up a 100% false report? Incredible.

yeah. I mean this wouldn't be the first #fakenews article ever
