Earlier this year, the political world was gripped by a stunning accusation from Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) that the government’s application for a warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page was born of bias and almost entirely reliant on a dossier of information compiled on the dime of Democratic operatives. He had a memo that made that argument; eventually, and probably without much goading, President Trump was persuaded to release it publicly.
Even based on what was known then, the hype surrounding Nunes’s memo seemed to oversell the point. In short order, other revelations about the warrant application made it clear that the contents of the memo were iffy. It was the second time in two years that Nunes had gone to bat in defense of one of Trump’s pet theories, and neither time worked out that well.
As it turns out though, Nunes’s efforts to raise questions about the surveillance warrant, granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, were even less robust than they seemed at the time. With the release Friday of a redacted copy of both the initial warrant application targeting Page in October 2016 and the three 90-day extensions of the warrant, we can get a better sense of just how far from the mark the Nunes memo actually was.

American people are REALLY GULLIBLE!
Didn’t Judge Contreras sign off on the FISA...and Judge Contreras had a party thrown for him by STRZOK!!
Bigger prisons ned to be built!
No, he’s not one of the four FISA judges we keep hearing about.
How is it possible to even make this argument when most of what was released was redacted???
Why else would STRZOK throw hi a Party? Do tell!
But, they all knew she was gonna win. Why would they work so hard to do him in if she was gonna win?
It was planned to charge him AFTER Hillary had won so they could charge him, try him, and put him in prison.
But she didn't win. They hadn't planned on that.
No problemo. "We'll just now use all that stuff we made up to get him impeached."
