You know that the memo is a dud when Fox News isn't even discussing it anymore. Last 10 minutes have been about the riots at Berkley last year.

I'm sure Tucker will have some good spin, but this has been an epic fail for the Republicans.

Of course, the bolded part of that statement clearly illustrates the warped mind of a liberal democrat.

For those of you that cannot think for yourselves, Warner is basically saying that if you are a liberal democrat and walk the liberal democrat line, you are entitled to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Otherwise, you are guilty until proven innocent.

Why quote someone when you're not even answering their question? Trobesmom, that's my understanding as well.

Wow, if Fox isn't talking about it anymore you know it was a dud.

And thanks, Sactown, for biting the bullet and watching that dreck for us. Most people with working grey matter stay far away from that cesspool.

True.

It is page 4 of the memo where the GOP admits the dossier had nothing to do with the original FISA and had little to do with continued monitoring Page.

Thank you Nunes!

Did GOP voters actually elect this guy or did the DNC elect him to make GOP Congressman look like idiots.

Smart.

Carter Page is a fascinating figure in the investigation. It is difficult to determine just where this guy rates. Was he an important, foreign policy adviser to the president, with numerous Russian connections, or was he a "low-level volunteer," as referred to in the revised WH story.

Originally targeted by the Russians as someone they could use, they later called him an idiot. Now, if you look this guy up, you'll see that he is anything but an idiot. He has an impressive background, including graduating from the Naval Academy and serving in the Navy for five years. He was a VP for Merrill Lynch before starting his own firm, Global Energy Capitol, LLC. He teaches at NYU, and is a fellow at the Council for National Policy.

Now, Page may have just gotten in over his head, pumping up his value in order to play with the big boys on the world stage. Not really an idiot, maybe a little naive to think that he could handle the deep water he found himself in. OTOH, what if the Ruskies were trying to provide cover for him when they called him an idiot. Maybe he was a key player in carrying messages from the campaign to Putin, and vice versa.

I can't wait until some of these indicted individuals go to trial, when I may finally get some answers to the questions I have about Carter Page.

Page was simply a way to get to Trump by the DNC

BREAKING: Senate Judiciary Committee to Release Memo on FBI, Christopher Steele and Russia Dossier

Quote:
Paul Sperry of the New York Post reported, “BREAKING: The Senate Judiciary Committee also has a memo on Steele, the dossier and the FBI, and is working to get it declassified.”

It is being reported that several memos will be released and the worst is yet to come.

If you're not getting the whole story, you don't know what you think you know.
It is Director Wray and the FBI/DOJ who said there were material omissions from the memo. So, are there material omissions, or not? If there are then tell us what they are.

It is not the Democrats in Congress that need to do this. It is Wray and the FBI/DOJ. Failure to provide this information soon will just cause their credibility to be eroded even more than it already has been.

I have actually asked myself that question for a while. I am not sure what else you would do differently to make it worse, he always doubles down, and Trump WAS a personal friend of the Clintons before he wasn't. Hmmm
