    Here we start

    The House Intelligence Committee has released its controversial memo outlining alleged abuses of secret surveillance by the FBI and Justice Department in the Trump-Russia investigation. Here are some key points:

    * The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the initial and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.


    * Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.

    * The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.

    * DOJ official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of 2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele's bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president.

    The bogus memo and circular reporting was used to obtain a FISA warrant to surveil a private citizen so that high level officials could try and undermine the election.

    The Republicans have been asking for that for months and the FBI and DOJ and Democrats have been blocking.

    Are you saying this memo is based on a warrant they haven't seen?

    I'm sure Schiff will release it in his campaign to discredit the memo. If he doesn't the memo must be true, right?

    No im sure Nunes will release it to prove his BS memo is real. If he doesn't it's must be fake right?
    Explain why when all our Intel heads say Russia hacked the election...you want proof. Yet when a partisan hack makes an unverified claim you eat it up ?

    By asking for proof of these claims? Why don't you want proof?

    Since it is FBI provided information, why are you trying so hard to deflect from illegal activities?

    Not fond of reading comprehension. They never said such thing, and for the warrant, there would be no warrant without the dossier.

    Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.

    So you'd like to dig a bigger hole for yourself.

    Still, I'd love to see Dems demand for a few months that information be released, then watch them demand it not be released when they find out it's coming.

    That would be pretty awesome from the party of "transparency".

    Obama was right: he would have the most transparent administration in history.

    He just didn't know this is how it would happen.

    As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy
    Meaning it's crap

    Sought doesn't mean it was used as evidence or in the application.

    So now that it's out... do you see the men in blue with the handcuffs coming? I'll wait 2 weeks. Then I'll gloat that nothing happened if nothing actually happens.
