I dunk a lot on America in this thread, but I gotta say I still have a lot of respect for large parts of the country. In many areas of culture, science, economy and technology you are still absolutely leading the pack and the rest of us is looking up to you. You produce some of the best research, products and art in the world. Really hope you can reform your electoral system one day and start taking care of the lunatic trash that drags you down all the time. God bless.

Thanks but that “lunatic trash” part is far too intrinsic to America and nothing will ever change those people

he's been running interference and trying to gum up the house intel committee pretty much since day one. most likely he's a tremendous toady but there's the possibility he's wrapped up in money laundering or other poo poo as well

e: hell, he recused himself from the investigation the first time around, hmbol https://www.washingtonpost.com/powe...m=.5f71214fbe40

It's part of our national character. Look at how integral our national myth we've got a story about hat-belt-buckled weirdos escaping to a another continent to do Angry, Hateful Christianity because the CoE was like "Chill out, Dickwads."

Yeah he's putting a ton of effort into this lovely memo, so it seems like more than just "support are president." I didn't think I heard about specific ties to anything yet though, guess I was right.

Ok so here’s my understanding

Back during the election the FBI got a new a FISA warrant for an unnamed American that everyone across the board pretty much knows to be Carter Page.

The Nunes memo apparently alleges that the FBI acted badly in doing so by knowingly using fake information in the form of the Steele dossier as the central or only evidence for the warrant. Although this may not be the case because no one has actually seen it outside of the presidential yaoi club.

Adding to this that FISA filings are usually in the neighborhood of 60-70 pages and the memo is 4 meaning that it’s been cherry-picked to hell.

Do I have that about right?

More or less. Also Nunes is almost definitely a white house crony doing exactly what they want him to and this is the second time he has done something fishy as hell wrt intelligence. How he still has his clearance, I have no idea

I mean, there wasn't actually anything incriminating in Hillary's emails, but conservatives used it as evidence they were right about everything. If the memo comes out , Fox News just has to say the word memo over and over again and they will get whatever they want.

So let me understand this? Nunes made up a bullshit memo to feed a talking point to Fox News and their idiot base, not taking into account that Trump is actually a part of that idiot base? And now Trump is demanding the memo to be released?

It seems that hyping the memo as much as possible and spreading innuendo is part of the strategy too.

Because there's no reason for all these delays, Republicans can just release it anytime they want to. But they've spent ~2 weeks stalling now

I mean, everyone already knew this, but as long as he kept his mouth shut this was going to work at the very least as a distraction, or better yet give actual legitimacy if the US was dumb enough to believe him. It was a win-win scenario.

But he had to blab about it. It's the nuclear subs all over again.
