Memo is out

[scottw]

so if the Bush Justice Department and FBI had used a "dossier" which had been paid for by the Romney campaign and presented to a FISA court to obtain a warrant authorizing surveillance of an Obama campaign adviser prior to the 2008 election never divulging to the court that the "dossier" was a product of paid political opposition research from an author who had stated to a senior Justice Department official that he was “desperate” to prevent Obama from being elected president.



that would not have been a problem for the left...right?

I’d also like to know what’s in there that’s a threat to national security, which the left went berserk over. Were the nuke launch codes in the memo and I missed it?

And in your hypothetical, you’d also need to include that deputy attorney general had a wife who ran for the senate and took huge money from the Koch brothers, and an FBI assistant director whose wife worked at Fusion GPS, the company that put together the dossier.

Nope, nothing to see, move along.

your example is as much a fantasy as the Nunes Memo . using innuendo , conjecture and conspiracy theories and presented as Fact

Only the American right has had a consistent, large, and organized faction based on paranoid conspiracism for six decades.

Nothing in the memo, as far as I know, has been revealed to be untrue. A series of "facts" are presented in the memo. Any pertinent facts that have been left out can easily be stated. So far, the only innuendo is that the facts in the memo can be misleading because of some supposed omissions.
