Massive FBI Scandal?

[vantexan]

Let's be honest.
Doesn't even matter the GOP memo was a nothing burger. They believe what they want. They'll just ignore the Dem memo.

Why did Dems try to stop the "nothingburger?"

 

[vantexan]

The president would be so much better off if he’d ignore the Russia investigation the way he ignores a 7% correction in the market.

Corrections are considered 10% or more. That's when he'll wave the magic hands and everything will be right in the world again.

It's going to be an easy win in 2020 , since the Ds do not have a solid candidate to run against him , just the same old tired retreads .

You can bet they are scouring the Earth for a candidate that doesn't look or sound like Chuck and Nancy wannabes.

 

[Non sequitur]

Easy solution is to roll the taped FBI/FISA judge hearing and find out who said what and with what evidence.
Oh that's a big secret. We will have to wait for the media to sort things out for us.

Nunes admits the FISA court relied on more than the 'dossier' to surveil Page, undercutting the narrative that the FBI was biased against Trump.

Paper Tiger.

House panel clears release of Democrats’ rebuttal to GOP memo, forcing showdown with Trump

I believe all of the republicans on the committee voted to release the dem memo where no democrat voted to release the republican memo?

I'm still looking for those sources Sciffy was trying to protect.

So you're willing to concede that the Nunes memo was nonsense?

It wasn't nonsense but it was a nothing burger.
Much ado about nothing.

Interesting that you posted this article ... It's conclusion is:
If the worst internal repercussion to emerge within the Justice Department from the Nunes memo is an updated policy discouraging the use of footnotes in FISA applications, that would not be so bad.

No, that was not a conclusion, that was a footnote. Similar to the ones Nunes didn't read.

This is the conclusion:

The Nunes memo does none of these things. With its substantial omissions, it clouds the public’s understanding, not enhances it. It is selective declassification at its worst, and politicization of intelligence at its core. The effect of its release—particularly in the notable absence of vocal support for the FBI from other leaders in the intelligence community—will decrease public confidence in the FBI and Justice Department. It damages the House Intelligence Committee as an institution from the perspective of those in the intelligence community, who can no longer trust that the committee will comport itself according to the regular processes of intelligence oversight. And it damages transparency efforts, because it uses “transparency” as cover for a political act. The memo’s release, with the shoddy process that it followed, is transparency at its worst.

Transparency at its worst is till better than political secrecy at its best.

Not sure about that. I don't want our counter-intelligence efforts to be transparent.

 

[Non sequitur]

CYA with fear mongering. So why has the media conspired to taint the jury pool with innuendo reporting.

 

[Non sequitur]

So quickly we forget the mind of an unbiased liberal. Remember the Kathy Griffin Trump beheading video. If this kind of crap is in your heart how can you be unbiased in your judgements. You had FBI agents on the investigating team with this kind of attitude.

 

[Babagounj]

It has come to my attention that just around the time the FBI started using the Steele Dossier as evidence of wrong doing , Buzz Feed published it .
So how could they ask for 90 day extensions using said dossier when it was already in the public domain ?

False.

The 90 day extensions require the government to demonstrate the warrant is producing evidence the aligns with the original application.
