      (THREAD) @DavidAFrench is right. The public needs to see Nunes' memo, any documents it's based on, the FISA applications that started the Russia investigation, and everything else. Two problems: 1) It won't happen 2) Nunes already succeeded Here's why:http://www.nationalreview.com/article/455727/release-the-memo-and-evidence …

      The best point @DavidAFrench makes, which everyone should take seriously, is that the political divisions and distrust roiling the United States need to be treated as a national security risk. And that risk outweighs the risk of revealing pertinent classified information. 2/x

          When people don't know exactly what happened, their imaginations run wild, and they often assume the worst. But reality is almost always more mundane than conspiracy theories. That's why releasing evidence to the public would be beneficial. 3/x

          But it's unlikely they release all this evidence. If they valued truth, prioritized national security, and believed their own "worse than Watergate" claims, they'd be eager to reveal all the proof. If they're trying to stoke conspiracy theories, they wouldn't. 4/x

          It's important to be open to new evidence and willing to change your opinion. But based on what we currently know, I'm very skeptical of both the "Trump's a Russian agent" and the "FBI tried to get Hillary elected" conspiracy theories. 5/x

          There's little reason to believe Nunes and his allies are trying to inform the public. He's even refused to share his accusations against the FBI with the Trump-appointed FBI director, who would be the single best person to ferret out the supposed corruption. 6/x

          But the damage is already done. I'm writing about Nunes' memo. @DavidAFrench is writing about it. We're saying "okay, back up your accusations with evidence," but it's clearly shaped the narrative. (Which was probably the point). 7/x

          As I explain in this thread, some GOP Congressmen, pro-Trump media, Russian trolls, and Trump supporters pushed the conspiracy theory. They didn't coordinate. And yes, everyone writing #IAmNotABot, I believe you. But you're working in concert with bots 8/xhttps://twitter.com/NGrossman81/status/954378757015527424 …

          Fascinating/unsettling seeing pro-Trump media, Russian bots, a few Congressional Republicans, and Trump's online fans turn a memo by a disgraced recused-then-unrecused Congressman into proof of a grand conspiracy. Not coordination. Each acts independently. Overlapping interests.

          The result: Millions of Americans' minds are already made up. No matter what Nunes' memo says, no matter if it's supported by evidence or not, they're completely convinced that accusations of a massive FBI conspiracy are true (or false). 9/x

          So @DavidAFrench is right. They should release all underlying evidence, and let Americans evaluate it. But that might undermine the hysteria. So we'll probably get the memo--Nunes' thoughts, not evidence--and everyone will claim it validates what they already believed. (END)
