Worse Than Watergate: Part 3 — The Schiff Memo
The Spectator ^ | 26 February 2018 | Jed Babbin

Posted on 02/25/2018 9:54:51 PM PST by lowbuck

Democrats scramble to misdirect in defense of their own as the Nunes memo remains unrebutted. . . snip

The Schiff memo is cleverly written, making several assertions by which it attempts to confuse and misinform on the issues. It flails and fails in Schiff’s effort to discredit the principal findings of the Nunes memo. . . snip

Watergate — the burglary, not the cover-up — was aimed to tilt an election to favor one candidate over another. In the FBI’s evident abuse of power in 2016-2017, it was the government acting to disrupt an election and its result. The former was awful. The latter is worse.

If you are keeping up to date on the development in FISAgate then I recommend reading the entire article. It is very dense and detailed, but, once you work through it you have a very good understanding of the cleaver ways the Dems have tried to throw sand in the eyes of the public.

However, it seems that this whole "Schiff Memo" story has already gone down the MSM black hole as a complete nothing burger.

No one cares about the Dim Memo. They weren’t even working on a counter memo until they discovered that Nunes had one already going through clearances.

Dims were too slow, played games with classified inclusions for delay purposes to blame on Trump.

What they’ve drug in, finally, the dog already ate and no one cares. That ship has sailed.

Disney is an active participant in the Leftwing war against the Constitution.

I think he might have meant it hasn’t been disproved

Schiff says that Strzok and maybe Page didn’t know about Steele’s dossier or other involvements with Fusion GPS, etc (perhaps even Mother Jones magazine or Yahoo).

So Strzok is the head of FBI Counter-Intelligence and din’t know about a major “Soviet collusion” investigation of the potentially future, and then, actual president of the United States?

Either Schiff is on something or totally insane, or the head of FBI Counter Intelligence was totally incompetent, or BOTH.

I knew several heads of the FBI’s Counter-Intelligence Division, William Sullivan and Ray Wannall (Operation SOLO), plus several other active and retired FBI agents of high rank.

They were pretty damned good. Ray put an American operative in the Kremlin for 40 years. Strzok couldn’t, according to Schiff For Brains, even find out about one of the FBI’s top “intelligence operations”? No Way Jose’!

Not buying anything from Schiff or Strzok, or Page, or McCabe or Weissman or even Rosenstein (re Rosenstein, for now - he might come out smelling a little better than the rest of the cesspool of political corruption crowd).

I agree, the main players in FISAgate are up to their eyeballs and are all looking at some likely hard-time making small rocks out of large rocks.

The Democrats and the MSM (oh, but I repeat myself) are trying everything they can to “change the conversation”. The Schiff memo was DOA, completely out of the news cycle. They tried beating the drum against the NRA but as more true information on the inepitude and cowardliness of the authorities comes out I expect this to be deep six-ed.

What next? I think they are secretly hoping that North Korea will NUKE an American city so they can talk about how President Trump and company did not protect the USA.

I do hope that we have one or two John Dean's singing for the DOJ and this many in the government, MSM and such are laid low. OK, rant off/

Honestly, his memo sounds more damning because it alleges the court approved the warrant without regard to the actual sources.

Actually, I erred. I read too fast past ‘Nunes’ memo keeping the title’s ‘Schiff’ memo in mind.

The writer was correct.

Why? He is stating that the Schiff memo did not credibly counter any of the Nunes memo conclusions.

The Schiff Memo Harms Democrats More Than It Helps Them by Andy McCarthy is pretty good too.

McCarthy points out the several non sequitur arguments, and asks a simple question, If Page is willing to talk with the FBI, as he obviously is, why not talk to him instead of applying for a court order?

That’s what you call a “good question”.

At the center of this spider-web of treason is Obama.
