it’s irrelevant how long it is, because there was no story...

6 Feb: National Review: The FISA-Gate Boomerangs
by Victor Davis Hanson
Both Watergate and Iran-Contra were multiyear affairs. FISA-gate may last longer, given that the media this time around are not a watchdog, but an enabler, of government misconduct...

I was thinking that should be the cutoff for aliens entering the country as well.

I was taught how to write a memo for high company officials. You had better be able to get your point across in a sentence or two so they can decide whether to read the backup and rationale. So, right up front you set aside a sentence or paragraph by white space labeled, “Executive Summary.” You put everything that is important for them to know in that space. Then, you back up the statement with whatever material is important. Material or data required to support findings is included as a separate appendix. Today, it would be hyperlinked.

Same here. A cover page, no more than a full page, with short, declarative sentences. Each statement is followed by a superscript number or letter pointing to an appendix backing up the reasoning for that statement.

Yep editing out of order is definitely fake news. Reminds me of some of the NBC / MSNBC editing shenanigans with George Zimmerman audio: “This guy’s up to no good. He’s black.”

“...bury them with bullshit...”

The POTUS ought to send it right back to the Intel Committee and make Schiffty himself clean it up/redact the parts that he purposely put in to reveal sources and methods. This would be done working with the FBI.

Can the POTUS do this, I wonder? (send it back to them)

High school kids in any backwater swamp could do a better job with ‘reporting’ than the current crop of ‘professionals’ in the USA today.

AND they wonder why we don’t believe them????

Seriously?

No “reporters” with an IQ of less than 130 allowed in the WH.

IQ has nothing to do with it. I know plenty of people who are theory-brilliant but real-word stupid.
