I was floored by that - hugely impressive!

Not really, snookums...

If all that’s true then Nunes has A LOT of explaining to do, but none of that has been proven yet - let’s not put the cart before the horse.

He said he personally didn’t read the whole thing, not that he’s never even laid eyes on it. Now the story is “there might have been a footnote” so we’ll see where that goes.

It was TNG - here’s a link to an episode description http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Darmok_(episode)

Do you have a source for this revelation from Nunes? It seems Schiff(D) has made a claim to that effect, but google news search shows nothing from Nunes (or any other R’s).

That’s a difference in kind, not a difference of degree (though certainly a difference in the number of degrees of separation between you and the source information....).

I say it’s unrelated to the Trump/Russia investigation because that investigation was already underway. As such, undermining this warrant would have no undermining effect on the Trump/Russia investigation. Full stop.

I am looking at the entire picture as it is available. When the Democratic response becomes not classified, I’ll give that some consideration too. How do you not realize this is not a closed case?? EVERYBODY is still taking this as it comes, yet you respond as if I’ve made some final, inflexible judgement against the…

TL;DR (just kidding)

“ trying to shut down an accusation against you kinda makes you look extra guilty, turns out.” that actually applies perfectly to the release of the memo itself - a desperate attempt to try and shut down the russia accusations against Trump.

I’m not criticizing you for not having read the warrant, I’m criticizing you for assuming its contents - those are very different things. If you’d had some intelligence committee members informing your decisions who have read the FISA application (like Nunes does), maybe your conjecture would’ve been a little more…

TL;DR... I’ll just take that as “no, I haven’t read the warrant because it’s classified, I just love conjecture.”

Reading comprehension must not be your strong suit... Go back and read my previous posts if you want, I’ve had to explicitly differentiate this situation from the Mueller investigation several times now for you and your idiot friends around here.

Maybe you’re not clear on what the memo alleges then... This has nothing to do with the Mueller investigation - I’m not sure why people keep drawing that conclusion (or assuming that I must think this memo should have some effect on it - I don’t). Geez, you voice disagreement with something on the *acceptable…

Exactly, you can’t.

So you’ve read the FISA warrant, have you?

There’s nothing in the memo that details the procedure for obtaining a FISA warrant. This document clearly contains nothing sensitive to national security, so the mad scramble to keep it classified was just a dog and pony show to keep these allegations under wraps. Too bad that didn’t work - trying to shut down an…

“Neither the inital application in October 2016, nor any of the renewals, disclose or reference the role of the DNC, Clinton campaign, or any party/campaign in funding Steele’s efforts, even though the political originas of the Steele dossier were then known to senior DOJ and FBI officials.”
