I believe you said would start the Trump Russia collusion thread.
Im sure you remember. Go ahead, start it.

This is what you claimed would ultimately be proven. So do it.

Pretty much echoed my take.

Now that it's been released and it's being viewed as NothingBurger Deluxe they have nothing left. This is just another dud in a long line of duds. It's up there with Seth Rich. And Nunes has pretty much burned whatever was left of his credibility. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump discarded him like an ex-wife.

Hannity summarized the Nunes memo for his 4 million viewers.

Every word is a lie.

“It proves that the entire basis for the Russia investigation was based on lies that were bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton”

The memo actually explicitly states the opposite.


“The Mueller investigation does need to be shut down.”

The memo does not discuss the Mueller investigation at all.


“The people responsible… many need to go to jail”

The memo does not allege that there was any illegal activity by any member of the FBI or Justice Department.


“The FBI misled and purposely deceived a federal court…”

The memo does not allege that anyone “purposely deceived a federal court.”


“…while using an unverified, completely phony, opposition research, bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton…”

Again, the memo notably does not discuss the underlying veracity of the Steele dossier.


“…to spy on an opposition campaign during a presidential election…”

The surveillance of Carter Page began in October. Page’s tenure with the campaign ended in September.

(I've read the surveillance of CP stared in 2013, not October 2016?)

“…all to help one candidate out — all to mislead the American people.”

The surveillance of Carter Page was not made public during the campaign and, therefore, did not benefit Hillary Clinton.

The FBI did not even disclose the existence of the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign,

even while it disclosed extensive details about the FBI investigation into Clinton’s email server.

DonTheConTrash "good job" @Hannity

Trump has picked a fight with the FBI. He’ll be sorry.

Presidents don’t win fights with the FBI. Donald Trump apparently wants to learn this lesson the hard way.

Most presidents have had the sense not to bully the FBI by defaming its leaders and —

ridiculously — painting its agents as leftist political hacks.

Most members of Congress have also understood how unwise it would be to pull such stunts. But Trump and his hapless henchmen on Capitol Hill, led by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), have chosen the wrong enemy.

History strongly suggests they will be sorry.

a purported fifth column of entrenched federal bureaucrats whose only goal in life, apparently, is to deny America the greatness that Dear Leader Trump has come to bestow.

It is unclear who is supposed to be directing this vast conspiracy. Could it be Dr. Evil? Supreme Leader Snoke? Hillary Clinton?

This whole paranoid fantasy, as any sane person realizes, is utter rubbish.*

The bureau has no political ax to grind, and the attempt by Nunes and others

to portray it as some kind of liberal cabal is comical.

But it does have great institutional cohesion, a proud sense of mission, and a culture that inculcates the “us vs. the world” attitude that is so common among law enforcement agencies.

I’m old enough to remember the days when

J. Edgar Hoover ran the place like his own private Stasi

— wiretapping civil rights leaders such as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.,

infiltrating anti-Vietnam War groups with informers and provocateurs,

seeking or manufacturing damaging “evidence” against those he targeted,

keeping copious files on the peccadilloes of the politicians who were theoretically his masters.

Presidents from Franklin D. Roosevelt through Richard Nixon coexisted warily with Hoover, afraid to fire him for fear of all the beans he might spill.

Harry S. Truman was an especially bitter opponent. “We want no Gestapo or secret police. The FBI is tending in that direction,” he said. “They are dabbling in sex-life scandals and plain blackmail. . . . J. Edgar Hoover would give his right eye to take over, and all congressmen and senators are afraid of him.”

But when Truman left office, Hoover was still FBI director.

He held on to the job from the FBI’s founding in 1935 until his death in 1972

— six weeks before the Watergate break-in.

The idea that the likes of Trump and Nunes are going to put a scratch on the FBI with ludicrous innuendo —

and selectively edited memos would be laughable, if Mueller and his team were the laughing kind.

— and selectively edited memos would be laughable, if Mueller and his team were the laughing kind. Which they’re not.

Trump and his minions seem to think they can out-leak the FBI. Obviously they haven’t been paying attention.

“Unprecedented”: 9 historians on why Trump’s war with the FBI is so stunning


“I can’t think of a single time any president has done anything like this.”

I reached out to nine historians to ask if there is a precedent for something like this.

There’s nothing new about tension between the FBI and the president,

but it seems unusual for a president to so publicly challenge the independence of the bureau and the Justice Department.

Mainly, I was curious to know if we’ve entered uncharted territory — and will this undermine the independence of the FBI and the Justice Department?

Their full responses, lightly edited for clarity and style, are below.

The whole thread moderator routine your going with just makes you seem a giant douchebag. Boutox and TSA are the others that do that.

I appreciate your input on "douchness"
Just asking him to follow thru with his own claim to start a new thread basically as a moderator ain't gonna do shit, quite obviously and I have never even had contact with one....Not one message sent or received.

Thanks for your concern. If anything seems douchey, I know you are here to put it right.

The Great Boutons doesnt moderate threads, and ignores the bulk of most threads (and posters) that have become moronic, childish pissing matches

Then again, what were you going for with Spur tats? Hardcore cowboy persona? It failed.

You'd know where women won't get tattoos, seeing how you're transitioning.

Replying to @TGowdySC
While this memo raises serious concerns with the FISA process,

I have been and remain confident in the overwhelming majority of the men and women serving at the FBI and DOJ.

As I have said repeatedly, I also remain 100 percent confident in Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

The contents of this memo do not - in any way - discredit his investigation.
