Alex Jones released the secret memo!!! Then hilarity ensued when he realized it's the wrong memo.
https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2018/01/23/alex-jones-purports-release-house-gop-s-secret-russia-memo-not-realizing-document-publicly-available/219145Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones purported to exclusively release a secret memo that Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) has touted which supposedly undermines the investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign in Russia. The document that Jones displayed on air during his January 23 show has actually been publicly available on a government website since at least May 2017.
...
During his January 23 broadcast, Jones claimed that William Binney, a former National Security Agency official, provided him with “the actual memo they’re talking about.” Jones printed out a copy of the memo and called for his producers to put it on a “document cam” to show viewers, claiming that it was “tomorrow’s news, today.”
The document shown on screen was promptly identified as as a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court memo that is publicly available on the website of the Office of Director of National Intelligence. According to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, the document has been available online since at least May 2017.
While presenting the document to viewers, Jones said, “I’ve got to go off air, this is the classified memo right here. I mean I told you I have sources and that I’d reverse engineered it, but I guess the decision has been made by whoever’s telling Binney to send this to us” and “Here it is ladies and gentlemen, the first look. You want to look at it? Got the whole thing.”
...
Later in his broadcast, perhaps aware of what he had done, Jones told a fantastical story about criminal elements in the government hacking a computer at his Infowars studio to try to stop him from publishing the document. Jones said, “I'm literally in Infowars editor Kit Daniels’ office. While we’re trying to post it, they grab control of the computer and turn it off and fry it right in front of us and then start jumping in -- they are inside our computers right now.”
Jones then claimed that the “globalists” “can't stop us from publishing it” because “Trump already published it, ... we haven't told you yet,” giving a possible pretext for his embarrassingly inaccurate claims earlier in the show.
...
Later in his broadcast, Jones hosted Binney, who had provided the memo to Jones. Acknowledging that the memo is indeed on the DNI website, Jones asked him if it was posted today and Binney responded, “Yeah, as far as I know. ... I just found it through another source that passed it to me.”
Then Jones purported to use “deduction” to conclude that “it looks like president just declassified this,” to which a sheepish sounding Binney responded, “Well, somebody, yeah, somebody did, that’s for sure.” The document has actually been publicly available since last May.
--------------------
- Alex Jones gets the secret Nunes memo from his ex-NSA contact William Binney. (Turns out, it's an old memo that has been public since May 2017.)
- The government hacks his computer during his live show to prevent him from leaking the memo.
- Jokes on them: President Trump has already published the secret Nunes memo.
- You know what? President has just declassified this memo. (1. No, he didn't. It was declassified in May. 2. That memo in Jones' possession is still not the Nunes memo.)

because they just found the real one in a wooden chest that was dug up on Oak Island last night!!!
You wouldn't believe the things they repeat.
In fact, here's an example of the nonsense I put up with to maintain 40 year old friendships (barely). This guy was a draft dodging hippie dove drummer in a band when we were young, but he says he hasn't changed. Not one bit.
