View original postBut let me highlight a specific paragraph from the WSJ reporting for it counterdicts the memo / certain talking points.
View original post
The memo is critical of Mr. Steele and notes that prosecutors in their application for the warrant didn’t explicitly state that he was working for a firm funded by Democrats. But the FISA application did disclose Mr. Steele was being paid by a law firm working for a major political party, according to a person familiar with the matter. Redacting the names of U.S. people or organizations who aren’t the subject of an investigation is a common practice in government legal filings, designed to protect privacy.
View original postThis flat out contradicts Page 2 of the memo Point #1, bullet point A.

So that memo was released....

Just reading the memo is indeed the best approach, I just did too.

With over 34,000 FISA applications just 12 (not 12,000 or 1200 or 120) were denied.

Correction: "just under", not "over" 34,000

It was on a list of about 40 Sessions wanted fired. Probably becuase he is a lib *NM*

No, they tapped the Russian Ambassador to the US, per SOP; not the FBIs fault Flynn called him.

Nope, just listening to the Russian Ambassador when Flynn repeatedly called during the campaign
