The Nunes memo is a dud

Resignations mean nothing. Prosecutions must come from this or the FBI, DOJ, CIA and NSA will continue to try and control election outcomes and orchestrate coup’s and blackmail pols they disagree with. Examples must be made or we are in heap big trouble!

[Lopeover]

‪Obama’s FBI/DOJ perpetrated a fraud against a FISA Court.‬

[jdsteel]

This is known as “whistling past the graveyard”. It is explosive.

[Garvin]

The 99 page FISA Court report concluded that 85% of the Obama administration’s FISA requests were fraudulent and illegal.

That bears repeating.

[jazminerose]

At first, I didn’t think it was wise to release the memo on a Friday. Especially the Friday before the Super Bowl.

Then it hit me. The dems are going to bring far more public attention to the memo than our side ever could.

Priceless.

[Garvin]

I get the jest of it, Clinton and Obama colluded with Russian sources to spy on Presidential Candidate Trump, and it looks like it continued into the Presidency.

[Arlis]

Isn’t this exactly what we expected from the Left? Duh.........

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks EdnaMode. Vox is yet another DNC shill machine.

[stylin19a]

I'd keep bringing them back to this:

a) During this same time period, Ohr's wife was employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump. Ohr later provided the FBI with all of his wife's opposition research, paid for by the DNC and Clinton campaign via Fusion GPS. The Ohrs' relationship with Steele and Fusion GPS was inexplicably concealed from the FISC.

What discipline will be administered? Unless the FISA judges
do something, nothing will happen—nothing. Unless, of course,
there is vigilante justice.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I have a problem seeing where firing Rosenberg(sic) or Mueller is justified based on this alone.

It's a question of what they knew. If they knew how dodgy the basis for their surveillance was, they should go. If they were misled by underlings, they should say so... convincingly. That saves Rosenstein, but leaves Mueller to pack up shop, because everything he's done started with surveillance drawn from falsely sworn warrants.

[nutmeg]

This is what the left is going to argue over the next few days. That it's a nothing burger.

Yup. Just checked CNN awhile ago. Jake Tapper and his 3 guests (I don't know who they were) were all laughing at this "Nothing Burger".

[liberalh8ter]

Wow. Did this guy read the memo and if he did, does he lack comprehension skills?

[kevao]

I would think that signing off on a baseless FISA warrant application — lying to a FISA judge — is a serious, actionable offense.

But what do I know. According to Comey, it’s no big deal, par for the course.

[Gay State Conservative]

Just heard Joe DiGenova on the Howie Carr Show (Boston talk host) who said that Comey should be facing criminal indictment.

[unlearner]

The Memo is big.

It shows there is material support for what many of us strongly suspected all along:

The real entanglement with foreign influence over the 2016 election involves Hillary, Podesta, McCain (though none are named in the memo) and the influence of partisan British intelligence.

What is disclosed in the memo demands a separate Special Investigator tasked with uncovering the crimes committed by the illegal abuse of the FISA courts.

Crimes were committed.

[mywholebodyisaweapon]

Is that a picture of that boy named Sue, from the “Great British Baking Show,” with a fake beard?

[EdnaMode]

Yup absolutely. People should go to prison over this.
