Okay, the hype campaign worked on me, I'll check out this memo. Here we go. It's... a defense of Carter Page? The same Carter Page who was considered a counter-intelligence concern since 2013? That can't be right. *double-checks* Huh.

As best I can tell, the memo's "revelations" are: 1) Info from the Steele dossier featured in the FISA application for surveillance on Page 2) FBI agent Peter Strzok opened the investigation based on info that originated with George Papadopoulos We've known both for a while.

There aren't any new names in the memo, nor information that wasn't already in the media, so I'm not sure what prompted all the worry about revealing sources and methods. Maybe that's a risk with the underlying documents, but I don't see any in the memo itself.

The memo contains some howlers: "In early January 2017, Director Comey briefed President-elect Trump on a summary of the Steele dossier, even though it was--according to his June 2017 testimony--'salacious and unverified'" You mean the FBI didn't hide it from the president? GASP!

Replying to @NGrossman81
Did you ever go to the Theater to see a comedy, and the ONLY parts that are even mildly funny are ones you already saw 9 times in the commercial/preview on TV? That's what this memo nothing-burger is (plus the harm its done to our country).

Yes, and I hate it when that happens. Good analogy.
