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.

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

It is ridiculous. It says 1. FISA MEMO should have included Steele Dossier. 2. Steele Dossier can’t be trusted. 3. FBI has not fully vetted Steele Dossier.
