By now, you've seen the communist narrative forming: that this is a nothingburger because the investigation started with an investigation into George Papadopolous (as if that somehow adds and not subtracts credibility into expanding the investigation to include Carter Page with a FISA surveillance warrant, based on the pee-pee dossier).
Of course, even this absurd spin is debunked in about 2 seconds when you look at WHO started the whole investigation into Papadopolous: that's right, freaking "Secret Society"/Election "Insurance Policy" hack, Peter Strzok who was later hired by Mueller and later demoted once Congressional inquiries got too close to him. From the memo:
5) The Page FISA application also mentions information regarding fellow Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos, but there is no evidence of any cooperation or conspiracy between Page and Papadopoulos. The Papadopoulos information triggered the opening of an FBI counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016 by FBI agent Pete Strzok. Strzok was reassigned by the Special Counsel’s Office to FBI Human Resources for improper text messages with his mistress, FBI Attorney Lisa Page (no known relation to Carter Page), where they both demonstrated a clear bias against Trump and in favor of Clinton, whom Strzok had also investigated. The Strzok/Lisa Page texts also reflect extensive discussions about the investigation, orchestrating leaks to the media, and include a meeting with Deputy Director McCabe to discuss an “insurance” policy against President Trump’s election.
Why do the Leftists always get away with corruption and criminality?
Because normal people aren’t always in a state of heightened vigilance.
I remember thinking about the Clintons back in the 90’s that they were relentless, always up to something. The 21st century Obama-led liberals are even worse.
Because the opposing side has always been weak. Trump is not!!
My local ABC affiliate dealt with this story by failing to mention ANYTHING about the memo’s contents, by giving air time to critics of the memo’s release, and by mentioning that the memo was released by “allies” of Trump.
Yes.. Vigilant and Relentless are the words that often come to mind.. The war between Good and Evil marches on...
The Right is too nice.
Listened to Wolf Blitzer on CNN. He is all in for the Democratic Party spin team. He is complaining the Democrats must have a chance to respond, it is too one sided. We are getting two different stories all the time. People are going to be confused, because the truth is not the goal of many reporters anymore.
There is no interest on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN to talk about the FISA being used for political purposes. The are waiting for Adam Schifft to appear, to save the day or something. Is he Mighty Mouse?
In case of worry. Why worry?
It seems to be an ability by Trump, to cause the media to over-extend themselves.
There also seems to be quite a Trump thing that when we panic because the Trump show is disappointing or negative, later it shows to be the proper course for the time.
We the Bees need to keep busy and keep the buzz going and remember that the lefts media just looks worse all the time.
People ain’t buying and Trump is very popular and rising.
More like Andy Kaufman.

Because the (R)N(C) refuses to bloody some noses and bust up some knee-caps.
Then, mix in the hypocrisy, if not blackmail, of the defense of the $15M sexual-assault slush-fund (Did it get voted ‘away’ and I missed that??)
Lastly, most of ‘em can’t articulate themselves out of a wet Kleenex. The ones tossed in front of the cameras as the ‘Uhhh, ahhh, Ummm’ crowd, whom allow the (D)\MSM (I repeat myself) to run roughshod all over ‘em.
because the GOP is weak minded - even more then Freddo
just Watched 2 minutes of CNN with 3 left (including Jake Tapper) and 1 .5 conservative]]
Their justification is McCain and Linda Graham. Did some one pay these fools off
Because the Left is very cult-like, and even criminality for their cause is noble.
Dems Feb 1st: This memo endangers national security, sources and methods. Its release will harm America!
Dems Feb 2nd: Is that it? The memo's a dud, it doesn't even say anything.
The CBC here in Canada (where I'm visiting) is taking the same approach: ignore the content (pretend the memo wasn't in fact released), but cast doubt on it anyway.
“with an investigation into George Papadopolous (as if that somehow adds and not subtracts credibility into expanding the investigation....”
Exactly what I have been saying all day!!! This is what they hang their hats on - that the FBI now thinks it appropriate to start an investigation into a presidential candidate/campaign because some half-drunk, low level campaign official made some nebulous comment to an Australian diplomat in a London pub?
REALLY??
I read where Schiff posted a release that may have contained classified information.
Schiff is another one off his rocker. Who in the world would listen to him in the right mind? Maybe Wolfman Blitzer likes him or Jake Tap Dancer.
You are describing a classic Alinsky tactic. When caught, don’t let a moment go by, accuse your opponent of the same crime or something similar, and scream about it even louder.
The Soviets used it during the Russian Revolution, and the Nazis used it during Hitler’s rise to power.
It’s unfortunate because it means the truth is a victim. I have yet to see an honest Democrat out there who seeks the truth.
