James Comey summed up the Nunes memo the best - “That’s it!??”
James Comey is lower than whale shit when it comes to integrity.
The key point of the Nunes memo is that the FBI used the Steele documents without informing the FISA court that they were prepared by a political party and the veracity of the documents was in doubt. Nunes provides no evidence of this other than his opinion, Nunes did not even look at the underlying data,
So you are saying Nunes and his counterparts on the committee just dreamed up this memo with no backing evidence?
Here's a little fact you (and the dims) are ignoring: This committee has been doing this investigation for over a year and has thousands upon thousands of pages of documents, plus they have the transcripts of the testimonies of the players involved. This memo is a brief synopsis of what has been uncovered with regards to how the DoJ/FBI fraudulently obtained a FISA warrant. That is key here in this memo, we have the Dept of Justice in conjunction with the FBI using a political smear document, paid for by the DNC/Clinton campaign, and this document was dubious at best and not even properly vetted. The DoJ/FBI used this document as a basis to obtain a FISA warrant against a political campaign, and in doing so did not disclose to the FISA court the origins of the Steele dossier. Officials in the DoJ/FBI have testified under oath that had they disclosed to the FISA court the true origin and validity of the Steele dossier the warrant would not have been granted.
Without actually seeing the FISA application and the discussions that went into granting it, it is impossible to tell if this claim of “bias” is true or not or whether the surveillance would have been granted in any case. I have no idea if the rules of a FISA application allows for the use of information that has a political bias or is otherwise un-verified. It does seem that the Steele documents were not the sole basis for granting the FISA surveillance, but even that is unproven. Lacking some hard evidence that the FBI did something illegal or woefully un-ethical, the Nunes memo is short on fact and long on speculation.
Again, all you are doing is regurgitating Liberal talking points and obviously you have not been following the story or as usual you are only getting the MSM version. If Nunes and his committee just dreamed all of this up, like you and the dims are suggesting, then it will be real easy to discredit the memo using facts and documentation. All Schiff has to do is go into those reams of documents and testimony and go point by point, citing the actual documents (he has access) and Nunes and the republicans will be blown out of the water.
But you don't see that, do you? The dims are crying "constitutional crisis" and coming apart at the release of the memo, but yet they won't release the backing documents. Hell, they aren't even leaking the backing documents. All they can do is cry Armageddon and say "liar liar pants on fire!" and of course run to their MSM to back them up.
So, let’s see it all, the Democratic response, the FISA application (properly redacted) and the full transcripts of the proceedings.
Yep, let's see Schiff and company run to release those documents to prove it's "Russia Russia Russia". All Schiff has to do is have the committee vote ( and the republicans won't object) and send it up to the WH to make sure there are no objections (and there won't be).
Let me ask you this: Do you think Schiff has the balls to release those documents?
