I agree that Nunes is a fool.

But Gowdy has little credibility.

Its true that Gowdy really hasn't done anything but Nunes is bottom of the barrel.

Gowdy is way smarter than the two-bit hacks he contends with. But regardless, if attacking Nunes and co. is the basis for head-in-the-sand denial of what's to come....

Its not "Nunes and co", its just Nunes. He cooked up these allegations on his own, guarded them in his basement so securely that the WH is just now about to see the "memo" for the first time, and expects the world to end when the public sees how the FISA court operates. There is nothing coming, nothing is going to happen, hell they just renewed the FISA bill for 6 years, they probably missed their "window" to do something about it.

Lol, he "cooked them up", did he? That's why the Dems are so scared of it, because it's just the standard operating procedure of the FISA courts?

Sheesh, at least wait until we know what's in them before unleashing your CNN prevent defense talking points.

There aren't any Dems that are worried about this, nor should there be. Its an allegation that somehow, the FISA warrant on Carter Page was "inappropriately" obtained. All of sudden, people care about Carter Page? I don't think so.

I'm certain if the Bush White House colluded with the FBI and Department of Justice to arrest Senator Obama in 2008 that Democrats would have also just poo poo'd the whole thing too.

They are going full blockade here because it puts another giant hole into their "but collusion!" tactic to install a Democrat President, or at least get revenge for daring to challenge them.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if senior leaders at the FBI and DoJ were trying to rig the election. If local police are now requiring body cameras to enforce integrity, which still doesn't deter them from turning them off and planting evidence, how would federal police by any different? Federal level is even more politicized with huge amounts of money riding on who is the next President, there is every incentive for them to want to swing it. Those texts paint a pretty bad picture on what kind of culture was present in the FBI.

For a donation as small as $35* the donor's name will be scrolled on the screen during the state of the union speech.

I wonder how many people will donate in the name of Vladimir Putin.

*Politico says $1

Snopes says true.

Let's see....

Quote:
The second memo was written by Cody Shearer, a controversial political activist and former journalist who was close to the Clinton White House in the 1990s.

Unlike Steele, Shearer does not have a background in espionage, and his memo was initially viewed with scepticism, not least because he had shared it with select media organisations before the election.

Well, that was fun. /yawn

You should probably remove your cognitive bias. It keeps you from understanding posts and causes you to waste your time.

Don't get too excited, they're only going to be on his re-election website's livestream. Weedlord Bonerhitler got them once. He'll never get them again.

You live in one of the snowiest parts of the country that aren't on a mountain.

Have you considered moving?
