Amid all the excitement over the Devin Nunes #TheMemo, it is important to remember that it is a partisan summary of FISA warrant applications that we the People have not been allowed to see. And in determining whether you trust Nuness summary, it might be relevant that it inaccurately summarizes something that is public record: James Comeys testimony in 2017 regarding whether the allegations in the memo had been verified. Here is the claim in Nuness memo:
Got that? Nunes claims that James Comey testified in June 2017 that the Steele dossier was salacious and unverified. The claim is not that a particular portion of the dossier is salacious and unverified. The claim is that Comey testified that the dossier (it) is salacious and unverified. Thats what Nunes says in the memo excerpt above.
And its not true. Thats not James Comeys testimony.

(12,659 posts)Omitting the "even though a particular part of it was" bit before the "salacious and unverifiable" bit.
Sort of like taking out the "Don't" before "Stop on the railroad tracks"...
An accident waiting to happen.

(1,387 posts)This tweet suggests an importance it does not have. They want us focusing on the dossier rather than the real evidence. This is a classic disinformation technique.
We all know Nunes and his memo cannot be trusted and is full of lies and distortions.
Beware of tweets bearing gifts.
