Rachel Maddow for the win

LOL

A year attacking the Steele dossier.

A month hyping that the dossier started the whole FBI investigation.

Weeks hyping that they have a memo (a memo!) that will finally prove it!

So... is there some other memo?

Because this one says it was Papadopoulos, not the dossier.

In other words, nothing changed and the Nunes memo is just a nothing burger. I'll settle for that. marble falls Feb 2018 #18
Did our congressional dems release their memo yet? RestoreAmerica2020 Feb 2018 #26
Not yet because they don't have permission. I think they ought to pull a Palosi and lay it on us. marble falls Feb 2018 #27

I'm fighting with them on another site (similar worlds) the ones I haven't blocked...but my gawd, they are bat crazy! They're trying to say that "Boris and Natasha". (they really are saying those exact names!) is just the 'boogie man' the left invented. It is really hard to comprehend their logic! SMH..

...lies in immediately establishing the narrative that the memo is ridiculously worthless, easy to debunk even without using classified information -- and doing so before Trump gets the chance to use it to "clean house" at the FBI and DoJ.

It may still not be enough to stopping what would essentially be a coup, but it's the best hope we have.

The Nunes memo is a yawner.

Every single former DOJ attorney, FBI agent, law professsor, former House Intel Committee member on CNN has been pointing that out all afternoon.

Not only that, but the fact that the memo mentions at least partial corroboration of the Steele Dossier, and the fact that the FISA warrant application would have contained the information gathered during the three years Page was previously under surveillance.

are pointing out the huge holes in the memo, you know it's bad.

I won't link the site here, but I did find the link on Twitter and Facebook and read their take.

I told the manager that the acronym stood for Transaction Processing & Summarization.

The output of the system was called, naturally, the TPS report.

Only the nerds in the company got the joke.

That's about all this bunch seems able to come up with. Trey "Zippy the Pinhead" Gowdy has given up. He couldn't come up with anything either, even after hauling Hillary in for 11-hours of direct, in person persecution.

They've got NOTHING. Period. And that's how it goes with that miserable treasonous bunch. I don't get it. They keep digging around in that pile of horse shit because they're still rock-solid sure there's a pony somewhere down in there. There MUST be a pony...
