Steele, Page. Papadopoulos ... all discredited persons, two of which were embellished as ‘high advisors’ of the Trump campaign when in fact one was a plant and the other was a gopher.
If that’s all they got. it’s time for Congress to take the President’s green light in appointing a special prosecutor to bring charges for treason, sedition, and conspiracy.
If the reports are true about Schiff and the Standard Hotel in West Hollywood, the House ethics panel should take charge of having him suspended from Congress while the SP investigates charges.
Too funny. I found the cut, and paste link at yahoo.com earlier this afternoon. I just went back to get the link again, and it was gone. Now only a link to the story about the Democrat memo is there.
My short summary:
There is nothing new in the Schiff memo given as a rationalization for the Carter Page FISA warrant.
All the other info about Page used to justified a FISA warrant was already on the public record.
Like McCabe said: no Steele Dossier, no warrant.
Saturday afternoon release? Trying to keep it low-profile?
Where’s the beef, Democrats? A simple assertion that you disagree with the majority report is not a rebuttal unless it contains the underlying facts. Yours does not.
Wouldn’t it be great if someone leaked the unredacted democratic memo.
Even they must not think much of it or they would have waited for a weekday news release, not a Saturday release.
That is even worse than the traditional ‘Friday news dump’.
That is where TV series go to die.
Point by point rebuttal from HPSCI ...

Upon first glance the main argument seems to be that probable cause did exist to surveil Page, if not the Trump campaign as a whole. There hasn’t as of yet been any evidence released to support that.
Saturday Afternoon Release: Schiffy has the weaker argument and he knows it.

I’m having a senior moment. When did Andrew Mcabe testify before the House Intelligence Committee that the FISA warrants would not have been granted if it were not for the Steele dossier?
5.56mm
That's true.It was also in July 2016 that the FISC first refused an FBI request to wiretap Page. Of course, the FBI was not successful in getting a wiretap until AFTER the Steele Dossier, so when it began is beside the point.
BTW, the best thing to come out of all of this is that we can all now spell "dossier".

The Democrat memo response on government surveillance abuses is a total political and legal BUST. Just confirms all of the terrible things that were done. SO ILLEGAL!

Dem Memo: FBI did not disclose who the clients were - the Clinton Campaign and the DNC. Wow!

As you read this memo, remember that “multiple” means “more than one”. So, multiple can mean TWO.
Let the dog and pony show begin.
Oh, look... Gee, the Dems are moving off of the Florida shooting talking points back to the Memo talking points!!!
Their polling data must show that they’re losing on the shooting talking points.
