I think you are exactly right. This fits the well-worn and all too familiar pattern. Republicans investigate any number of issues and they claim they have the drop on so-and-so... and we never hear anything again. We never see any proof. We never see any conclusion. We never see an air-tight case. Why?
Over and over again, we hear about BOMBSHELLS, tic-tock, and... nothing. And what happens? Everything is flushed down the memory hole. Nothing concrete is ever released. Nothing is ever resolved. And the corrupt MSM and the corrupt politicians then have cover to say, "We need to move on", "Old news'.
Ever notice this? Ever notice how many times in the past decade there is never, ever any conclusion. No one ever faces any consequences. The IRS targeting, fast and furious, Benghazi, Clinton emails, Solyndra and on.
Of all these major, and many "minor" things no one was ever held accountable. Nothing was ever brought to any type of conclusion. Republicans feed their base and investigate and throw everything away and let all their bi-partisan buddies slide, and the game goes on.
I highly doubt we will ever see this current FISA memo -- ever. It will all go down the memory hole after the furor has died down. Watch.
I think that is where my cynical view of this is probably coming from - as you said tic-toc to the moon and back.
Hillary is still walking around free, in spite of supposed ankle bracelets ad nauseum.
It is still, my husband and I reluctantly concluded the other night, a banana republic here.
Hopefully Trump can return us to a country where laws matter again. But up there in elitist land, bananas are still ruling.

Good post. It’s why America is on that sad height.
