which in itself means that it was the right thing to do to issue the fisa order in the first place. The claimants had probable cause regardless if their politics.

...I believe there was at least one arrest of an accused Russian spy that came out of Steele's efforts.

...only if it was factual or not?

it also doesnt matter that DNC paid steele because he was just doing a job; he might as well do it for RNC on another candidate

more than one witness, but a witness who was himself a known gang member would not be deemed unreliable based on that fact alone.

The Republicans have the authority and votes in Congress to amend the FISA bill. Let's see whether they make it more stringent. I'm waiting, but I'm not holding my breath. They could rewrite it so as to better protect suspects.

What do you want to bet they leave the FISA bill as it is?

Let's see what happens.

Will the Republican Congress do its job and rewrite the FISA bill requirements for a surveillance warrant and subpoenas or not?

Meaning, it reads like someone wrote down the narrative Trump has been pushing for a while now and claiming it is something secretive, but investigated by (some in) Congress, therefore legit and factual. There's little to nothing in the memo that hasn't been in the news already - through actual news and speculation. It's been made to look all official and tied up in a pretty little package, produced for the Trump base - look at everyone who got the memo before the rest. (Fox/Limbaugh)

It reads like the intent to cast doubt on any link between Trump/the GOP/Russia.

...all political theater with nothing at all that would materially discredit the underlying investigation and the info the FBI was pursuing.

...Trump's reckless actions to end this probe are so over the top they do suggest either deep guilt or pathological vanity, or both.

Nunes and others joining in suggests more of the former.

and it's somehow supposed to count against him that he then thought "Hang on, maybe Donald Trump being president would be a bad thing"?

The entire premise of the memo is absurdly stupid.
