Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      If by "toothless exercise" you mean, "the proper response to the pseudo-scandal GOPers have been clinging to for six months." To the extent it's toothless it's bc there's no there there.

      Oh? Then why would an investigation by the guy who got Andrew McCabe be fired ever be considered toothless?

      The IG has no prosecutorial power, he can only make recommendations.

      Ah. I get it now. You don't understand FISA and don't understand the designated punishment even if your most feverish dreams were true. Welp, PERHAPS you've got your understanding of what is and is not "toothless" misplaced.

      I don't get that FISA has certain penalties built in that would apply if your most feverish dreams were true? But I can point to that in the law--I've written more about it than anyone.

      Replying to @emptywheel

      OK, I’ll bite. If FISA applications were fraudulent, I’m fine with whatever the outcome. The Strzok texts imply illegal coordination, the FBI have assigned 27 additional people to release more texts to comply with Congressional subpoenas, and that’s the bigger story.

          So now you turn to mockery, stellar argument you’re making here. I wonder what your followers think about the emails?
