They lied to the FISC judge. They concealed evidence. They lied to Congress under oath. They tried to cover it up for months and they lied AGAIN to Congress & the President about the memo’s “threat” to national security.

More specifics are necessary. Who is they? What was the lie to congress under oath? What was the lie to the FISC--beyond lies of omission. IIUC, the memo is a threat in that it challenges the legitimacy of the FISC's proceedings.

Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein, Yates all lied to the court by presenting the dossier as corroborated. A single piece of evidence can’t corroborate itself. Comey lied in open session about wiretaps on the Trump campaign & admitted that the dossier was unverified and salacious.

Some claims of the dossier have been corroborated and it was not the only evidence presented. I don't see this line of accusation being terribly fruitful.

McCabe testified that without the dossier, there would be no FISA warrant. All other “evidence” would by default, be irrelevant. It’s single source is a foreign spy supposedly talking to unnamed Russian SPIES.

But now this memo can be used by every American who is currently on trial or appealing a conviction based on evidence obtained from warrants authorized by the FISC. That seems like kind of a big deal.

You realize you can’t be convicted without seeing the evidence against you right? Even with a “secret” court initiating the warrant? Those people already have access to the info used against them.

OK ... so, are you saying you think these people shouldn’t see the evidence against them? Do we live in a police state or a Constitutional Republic? You realize if the sitting President or his staff can simply be declared a foreign agent in secret, that anyone can be?

I'm trying to determine what the memo is alleging and why the powers-that-be oppose it, because I have a show where I try to explain this sort of thing to non-obsessed "normal" people.

The Republican written memo recounts facts gleaned from confidential docs that members were allowed to view with DOJ minders watching (without taking copies)..The memo implies top intel officials violated established processes and possibly laws by knowingly misrepresenting (cont)
