Memo looks like a nothing burger... Read it here

[jem]

I don't even get that argument from maddow...
the start of the investigation is not the issue.
its the lying to the FISA court to get surveillance.... we have been talking about.

besides...
Papadopolous' criminal act did not take place until 2017 when he lied about the timing of his meetings. if it had been a crime to dig up dirt on your political opponent then hillary and comey and fusion gps and everyone else who paid for russian dirt should be in jail.

Nothing burger?

Hardly. The memo shows just how a liberal administration colluded with a liberal presidential candidate to use federal agencies to overthrow an election. Its a coup attempt, no less.

Contrary to popular belief the USA does have sedition laws on the books and this is precisely what they were intended to deal with.

Sound and fury accomplishing nothing. The assumption in this ridiculous memo is that the FBI investigated Carter Page solely because of the Steel dossier. (1) There was much more involved in their decision, and (2) Who the fuck cares?

The only reason this exists is because republicans are reaching for anything...anything...to discredit the continuing investigation.

That's basically what I got from it,

You quote one line while ignoring the most important facts in the memo and the context.

This telling paragraph demonstrates the misbehavior of the government officials and defines the problem in this situation...

Think its funny eh?

I think its a damned shame and I'm waiting to see if there will be justice or not. Only a liberal would see humor in the total dystopian behavior of the FBI and DOJ trying to throw an election. Sick.

Who cares how the information was gotten as long a we got it? Ring a bell?

In any case, I don't see any impropriety here.... Maybe I read something about the FBI paying Steele?

You guys were cheering for an investigation to clear Trump. Now that the Republican led FBI query isn't going your way you're crying?

I mean, we did tell you so.

Detroying the FBI leadership is a good thing.

I have not read the memo but I have seen quotes from the memo re-iterating McCabes testimony to the Committee to Congress in Dec 2016 stating "there would be no FISA warrant application withouo the dossier." Is that in the memo or not?

Nunes destroyed the intelligence Committee and Trump is at war with the FBI over this bullshit?

Seriously, this stuff has already been hashed out on this forum. It doesn’t make a difference if the Steele dossier was used to corroborate information the fbi already had. A judge wouldn’t throw the fisa request out for that.

This is like when Geraldo went looking for Capaones riches in the 1980s.
