Ah, the memo. We’re still not done talking about the memo. If anything, I don’t think it’s getting enough hype. I don’t care what Rachel Maddow says.

“That’s it?”
What does she mean “that’s it”?
FBI and DOJ officials knew the truth behind the phony dossier, including Steele’s blatant bias– he was “desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president”– but chose to use it anyway. They deliberately excluded those details from the FISA applications.
In reality, Democrats are guilty of doing exactly what they’ve been accusing the Trump campaign of. They “colluded” with a foreign agent and funded a bogus dossier to take Trump down.
Yeah. That IS it, Rachel.
Trump tweeted about the memo over the weekend…
This memo totally vindicates “Trump” in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!

Great jobs numbers and finally, after many years, rising wages- and nobody even talks about them. Only Russia, Russia, Russia, despite the fact that, after a year of looking, there is No Collusion!

“The four page memo released Friday reports the disturbing fact about how the FBI and FISA appear to have been used to influence the 2016 election and its aftermath….The FBI failed to inform the FISA court that the Clinton campaign had funded the dossier….the FBI became….

…a tool of anti-Trump political actors. This is unacceptable in a democracy and ought to alarm anyone who wants the FBI to be a nonpartisan enforcer of the law….The FBI wasn’t straight with Congress, as it hid most of these facts from investigators.” Wall Street Journal

…but he dropped another bomb this morning. He has a nickname for Rep. Adam Schiff. The “Little Marco” days are over. We have a new “Little” guy in DC.
Little Adam Schiff, who is desperate to run for higher office, is one of the biggest liars and leakers in Washington, right up there with Comey, Warner, Brennan and Clapper! Adam leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak confidential information. Must be stopped!

Little Adam Schiff! Trump’s not wrong either. He’s a HUGE liar, right along with Comey. Comey is SUCH a weasel.
That’s it? Dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the House intel committee, destroyed trust with Intelligence Community, damaged relationship with FISA court, and inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen. For what? DOJ & FBI must keep doing their jobs.

Ugh. They’re all full of Schiff.
