      Gabriel Malor @gabrielmalor
      We're back where we started. We don't know if the FISC should have rejected the Page warrant application because we don't know what was in that application. Nunes says the Steele dossier played an essential role. Okay. What else was in the application?

      Honestly, that was a weird read. Maybe it's because I'm reading this stuff every day, but there was nothing surprising there. And, without the initial application, there's no way to judge (1) whether the application was appropriate and (2) whether the FISC order was appropriate.

          Note: Dana Boente is basically the only person who is mentioned in the memo as playing a role in the FISC warrant process who has not received the wrath (or dismissiveness) of Trump. - Carter Page - Comey - McCabe - Yates - Rosenstein - Steele - Simpson - Papadouplos

          The Oct. 21, 2016, timing of the initial FISA warrant meant the renewal was required by Jan. 18, 2017 (ie, before Trump inaug). The 2nd renewal (signed by Boente) would've come days before Rosenstein was confirmed on April 25. The 3rd renewal would've been by Rosenstein in July.

          That’s it? Dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the House intel committee, destroyed trust with Intelligence Community, damaged relationship with FISA court, and inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen. For what? DOJ & FBI must keep doing their jobs.

          It would have been harder to say less in that Sessions statement — although I suppose one could argue that his recusal prevents specific commenting on many of the issues.

          I still can't get over that the memo goes into detail confirming Papadopoulos counterintel info in an effort to ... explain that Papadopoulos and Carter Page weren't cooperating or conspiring. (And in an effort to go after and pull in Strzok.)

          This wasn't written for us. It was written for his base. And for those who know he's bad but are defending him. CYA.

          Most trumplicans can't understand what it says and won't even read it. It's just a shiny object to gin up the base and create an excuse in their eyes to try to fire AG Rosenstein

          They’ll go on FoxNews and talk about it like it’s a smoking gun, so many people will believe it’s one of the most damning documents ever.

          The target audience has no reading comprehension skills, so catch phrases are what they're looking to get out of this.
