The Washington Times ^ | February 2, 2018 | Rowan Scarborough

Republicans released a long-awaited memo Friday detailing government surveillance abuses, showing that the FBI would not have obtained a surveillance warrant for the Trump campaign without using information from a dubious partisan dossier.

Here are six take aways:

⦁ The FBI relied heavily on Democratic Party dossier to obtain three surveillance warrants before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The FBI did not tell the court the information came from a Democratic Party-financed opposition research. FBI knew source.

Does anyone have a link to the actual memo, rather than all these media interpretations?

Not at all.

The Dems are trying to switch the narrative to Pappadopoulos now. That’s what Chris Wallace was intimating..well, the Russia probe didn’t begin with the Steele memo. It began with the drunken ramblings of Pappadopoulos.

Russia, Russia, Russia is running out of steam.

Remember, Fusion GPS, fought to not hand over their financial records. There were at least 3 reporters paid by Fusion GPS, in those records...but their names were blacked out.
The memo states that besides the dossier, stories in the MSM, were also used for the fisa warrant. I believe that Fusion GPS paid Michael Isikoff, to print some of the stories.

“The FBI did not tell the court the information came from a Democratic Party-financed opposition research. FBI knew source.”

Hardly a dud.

“Memo a dud”?

For those who have been following along with developments along the way, I consider it a ho-hum memo.

For those blissfully unaware along the way (including the non-Fox media), the hubbub and the content of the release should force some coverage of the content. That in itself should be a win, we’ll see how the media manages to cover.

I think the biggest win of the release was the preceding 72 hours of debate, with Dims on the side of continuing “coverup”. That hand needs to be well-played going forward.

Knew? Hah, the Obamascum White House was funneling all the data through the White House so it could be ‘too sensitive to share with Congressional oversight’, to paraphrase Comey testimony before Gowdy’s committee.
