The Republican base will love it because they'll get a half-dozen new conspiracy theories to naively buy into. The time the media will have to spend debunking it will take away from the time they can spend paying attention to things like Trump firing FBI deputy-director Andrew McCabe today, and (soon likely) firing deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein, as part of the Trump administration clumsily working toward their ongoing goal of sinking the Mueller investigation before it hits.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

This is like Chuck Schumer foaming at the mouth referring to it as "slanderous" and full of "wild speculation." Since Chuckie is a Senator and the memo (which only a few have seen[1]) is coming from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, it is extremely unlikely that he has seen it but like you he just "knows" it's full of lies
1. The very reason that the DOJ and FBI were strenuously objecting to it being released

The question is, if the memo shows that the special counsel investigation is based on improperly gathered evidence and false information, does that render the whole thing dead in the water, including whatever indictments have already been handed out?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by NorrinRadd View PostFor the sake of accuracy, the memo has been reviewed by Director Wray (over the weekend, in an usual move), and today by two FBI specialists more familiar with the details it involves (one from the counter-intel division, the other a lawyer), and neither identified any inaccuracies. Of course that still leaves room for carping about how "complete" or "balanced" it is.
Just for laffs -- In the crazy case that the memo turns out to credibly show that the entire basis for the Mueller probe was info gleaned by *improper* use of FISA, why should not the entire case be dropped as "fruit of the poisoned tree"?The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
