That's the one. Nunes wrote it and by all not-crazy-person accounts it's basically conspiracy theorist cork board of photographs connected by string insanity. But the republicans have all gone full nutso and have declared it proof of vast left-wing conspiracy to prevent America from being made great again. This has led to the right-wing loons demanding the release of the memo so that the truth will finally get out there. Trump gets all of his briefings filtered through that so he thinks the memo must be great and will make people join his side.

Which means that when it's released, it's going to be a giant fart that amounts to nothing while the nutjobs declare victory.

Republican staffers on the House Intelligence Committee wrote it, and even just based on the descriptions of it it seems like sophistic batshit. Time has this:

quote:

In particular, the GOP memo reportedly argues that the FBI misused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) when it built a case for obtaining a FISA warrant to monitor former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page. CNN reported that the GOP memo specifically cites the roles of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and outgoing deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe. The New York Times reported the GOP memo also claims that the FISA warrant was improper because it relied on information from former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, author of a notorious but unsubstantiated dossier about Trump’s alleged ties to Russia.

iirc, There was a previous FISA warrant out on an American (who most people think to be Carter Page, who was frequently traveling to Russia & FBI/DOJ/CIA thought that he might either be compromised or the Russians were in the process of setting him up to be compromised), but FISA warrants have a time limit & have to be renewed. The DoJ/etc. let it lapse. Then, in the summer of 2016, they got a new FISA warrant out on (presumably) Page based upon some new information. That new information may have been the Steele dossier, and the Steele dossier is sometimes mentioned as corroborating prior intelligence the FBI had (even from sources within the Trump campaign). The Steele dossier has also been independently corroborated at least in part, and there's this new document- the Shearer memo, which says much the same things.

It gets harder to postulate as it gets more attenuated without hard evidence, and with everyone cherry-picking facts and muddying the waters, "hard evidence" becomes a matter of debate. Which might the the whole point- it's starting to feel like a massive disinformation campaign.

Also, the DoJ has come out against the release of the memo, calling it "extremely reckless" because it may compromise intelligence assets and intelligence methodologies. It would also be the first time in history the House Intelligence Committee released classified information.

Seriously, no one has done this before. A process exists, but it is historically untried. And Donald Trump is going to be the first president to do so.

They already ate up the "Obama's not from America, the birth certificate is fake" garbage. They love the "Climate Change isn't real" narrative. When Trump insinuated that Ted Cruz's father was involved in a conspiracy to murder JFK they reported that and didn't immediately call bullshit. That's not even getting into the realm of "Hillary Clinton murdered a bunch of people in cold blood and is possibly a witch who "spirit cooks"" which pops up on shows like Hannity and Tucker Carlson.

If Trump slips further into dementia and starts ranting about Obama's moon wizards raining meteors down on us, Fox will report this and we'll get reports of hundreds of morons discharging their guns into the air.

Representative Devin Nunes is a goon and has compiled all the fbi conspiracy fan fiction into a "memo". The "memo" is a maguffin, the right hand of the magician. Meant to draw the attention away from the MRSA infection that is the Trump presidency.

So its similar to the russia dossier where that lovely PI hired by the DNC made up a bunch of fake russian sources and piss tape stuff?

And for the guy asking if DOJ is mostly republican, they were historically. But most big three letter gov agencies are just pro big-government now and big business. Hence why the FBI were totally comfortable wiretapping an election candidate. They were big supports of Clinton 1 and Bush 2. But since trump is a crazy loon wildcard and not part of the old guard of politics, they supported Clinton 2.

Trump was heavily pettyfogging as an emotional tactic and it’s pretty gross if you know the actual story, he wasn’t some random American guy who was touring the country and was randomly whisked away as Trump implied by omission
