        Also, while we're waiting to see whether journos can ID the ratfuckery here, let's see how many remember to note that Nunes was part of a transition process that has already netted one guilty plea.

        .@emptywheel specified a single document (Steele) while ignoring that several independent documents exist? Also, that approval occurred after target left campaign?

        The latter: either Page was still with the campaign after he left it, or election is irrelevant.

        Byron York source provides evidence that Nunes cherry picked evidence for his memo, ignoring the other evidence implicating Carter Page, but York is not bright enough to realize that. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/memo-war-gop-to-release-memo-aimed-at-justice-department-while-dems-push-memo-aimed-at-gop/article/2647479 … pic.twitter.com/GZxkoK5JQD

        Is it in the broad term "court document"? The omission that the unverified info was immaterial to the warrant's legitimacy? The fact that revealing the "material omissions" would reveal sources and methods if revealed, so the FBI can't make its case without harming security?

        Not sure what the obfuscation is but I get a kick out of the implication that the FISC is utterly hapless and merely along for the ride.

        Nunes is being investigated, and others on Intel comm, so of course out fbi can't give their evidence. So obvious nunes.

        Isn’t every investigation of something for which there is evidence that calls for verification? Nunes’ logic would be unassailable, had the US Constitution been written by Lewis Carroll.

        I would think most all requests for warrants are based on unverified information. Were it verified, they wouldn't need the warrant.
