    And those indictments have what exactly to do with Trump, the Trump campaign, or the 2016 election? The alleged crimes are indicated to have taken place from 2006-2014 and have absolutely nothing to do with the US electoral process.

    Russiagate is a dry hole and a farce created to hinder the Trump presidency.

    They have absolutely nothing, because there is nothing.

    You are confusing two things. Fusion GPS was originally hired by Republicans but it was before they became involved with Michael Steele and paid him for the memo. The memo funding came after the Republicans had moved on and Hillary Clinton and the DNC picked up the tab on the opposition research. The memo came from Steele and was only paid for by Fusion GPS who were working for Hillary and the DNC at the time

    So your position is that if a police officer pulls you over for suspected DUI, but finds that you are in fact not intoxicated, merely very nervous since the body a person you just murdered is in the back seat, that you should not be under arrest, as that is not why they pulled you over?

    First #releasethememo was a pro-russian act by bots...then Nunes is trying to undermine the Russia investigation...then Schiff states that the democrats wanted to release a recently crafted memo in response to this memo...then, most amusing, is that the house democrats, FBI and DOJ all believed that the Nunes Memo was a threat to national security/recklessness just a couple of days ago. Anyone who read the memo today, knows that is a bunch of horse ish...Nothing needed to be redacted.

    https://news.vice.com/en_us/article...as-grave-concerns-about-classified-nunes-memo

    http://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...nunes-itd-be-reckless-to-release-memo-without


    Interesting tidbits of the Memo:
    Starting in October 2016, the FBI and DOJ had 4 separate occasions to provide relevant facts to the FISA court judges...however the House Intelligence Committee concludes...that relevant information was willfully omitted by senior DOJ/FBI officials when applying/reapplying for warrants. The Steele dossier was the primary basis to obtain a warrant against Carter Page. Chris Steele was paid by the DNC and HRC's campaign via a lawfirm and fusion GPS to get 'russia' information on Trump.

    In order to make the October FISA application look legit, the govt used a Sept 23, 2016 Yahoo article(Written by Isikoff) - which talked about Page's July 2016 trip to Moscow. The HICSC concludes that Steele himself leaked the story to Yahoo and other media outlets, but NO mention was made on the warrant requests that Steele directly spoke with Yahoo in September, something that would have nullified the warrant...(seems the govt was hoping to portray that Yahoo independently corroborated information)​



    What a freaking ish show this has become for the two leading agencies(supposed to be apolitical entities) in our nation. A direct coordinated effort paid for and financed by "crooked" hillary and the broke DNC all to ensure that Donald Trump would NOT be elected. Very thankful that we have the avenue and platform to actually investigate this...bc God knows not a damn thing wouldve been done or heard of if Hillary was elected. This memo shows that there is willful action by corrupt individuals that have actively sought to undermine our nation's democracy...the power of the people! Folks need to go to jail for this...And i believe this memo is just the start...Enjoy trying to spin this into oblivion fellow democrats...it just makes yall look even more pathetic.

    Trump only hires the best!

    So was Trump merely incompetent when he hired them or did he hire them knowing their background....

    My bet is on money laundering charges for Trump; real estate and oligarchs usually leads there.

    I'm not willing to accept the FBI's word carte blanche by any means. But I haven't seen anything since the whole investigation began to show they've been biased or unprofessional. The same isn't true of the Trump white house, Nunes, or any of their allies.

    This memo seems to have had a quick fizzle out in a very short time.

    We have no idea if this has information that poses national security risks or not. If the Steele dossier was merely confirming other intel from other nations or is tied to intel from any variety of sources who will now no longer be willing to share intel because of this release, then that is certainly a security risk.

    None of us knows that so it's pointless to act like it was absolutely not a security risk. It might well be a security risk. We just don't know. I'm not going to say it for sure is. The DOJ mentioned that they believed it was so maybe it was.

    You’re all for letting the investigation play out, because the only way anything bad comes out about Trump is if it’s made up. But if it’s all positive then it’s not made up. Got it.

    How much is the DNC paying you to push the narrative? Too bad Hillary won't pay you, just promise not to kill you.

    Well it is true that he testified that they couldn't have gotten the warrant without the dossier, that's not disputed, but we don't know if he perjured himself or if he was telling the truth when he said it.

    I wonder if the transcript of McCabe’s testimony will be released. We are hearing two very different things from Nunes and Schiff concerning McCabe. One of them is wrong. At this point release the transcript of the McCabe interview.
