Well, it says that the FBI knew that Steele was paid for by the dems, that he openly hated Trump, and that he was terribly biased. They knew that but didn't state it in the FISA requests. They also cited news reports as corroberation when they knew that the source of those news reports was Steele himself. So not corroboration. They knew that but kept it to themselves. They got their warrants, they spied on the campaign. That's the gist.

The fallout will come from who lied on the warrants (who signed them off in FBI?) and who used them to issue coordinated leaks. Obviously they FBI was politicized, there will soon be names for these things.

For the FBI, Comey signed off on three of the applications and McCabe signed off on one. It’s spelled out in the memo.

Signers were both FBI and DOJ officials. Comey signed three. McCabe signed one. Sally Yates, Dana Boente, and Rod Rosenstein each signed one.

I understand what the memo says and what it portends for the Dems -- I should have phrased my original comment better.

I meant to say that the Dems' (ostensible) objections to the memo for the last two weeks are now proven beyond doubt to be utterly baseless and patently ridiculous. Of course, we knew that that would be the case -- but I can't believe that these accomplished liars and schemers settled on such easily negated "arguments."
