This is one of the greatest things about Trump, flipping sides and laying bare hypocrisies. For three decades, Republicans held the CIA & FBI in the highest esteem, and Dems generally regarded them, more the CIA, as shadowy, authoritarian threats to democracy. Now Dems criticize the critics of our(?) braze intelligence services as anti-American, and the GOP thinks the CIA & FBI are at the brink of mounting a coup.
I don't think Democrats are fond of the way Comey acted before the 2016 election.
KOMO it yourself, but there was much self-righteous blow back from Dems in the last year when Trump was blasting away at the chintelligence community. Straight up through-the-looking glass shit.
I agree with that, but I think that blowback was delusional hope that the FBI would DROP THE FUCKING HAMMER on Trump.
The FBI took an unverified political dossier, paid for by the Clinton campaign and the DNC, and they used it as a central piece in their request to get a warrant for spying on American citizens and political opponents in the Trump campaign.
Not only that—senior FBI and DOJ officials knew about the Fusion GPS dossier's political origins and connections to Democrats, and they EXCLUDED that information from their FISA application. They didn't tell a judge that their information was unverified political opposition research.
The creator of the dossier, Christopher Steele, even told DOJ official Bruce Ohr that he (Steele) was "desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president"--and yet NONE of that information was shared with the FISA judge, and the dossier was still used.
This conduct from intelligence officials at the FBI and DOJ, DNC and Clinton Campaign is completely unacceptable.
The memo only confirms what was known a year ago and at that time called a conspiracy theory.
Sounds like this is bigger than watergate.
Whatever it takes to shut down the federal government and return power to the people in the states is fine with me.
To be fair you really can't spin this and most of the never Trumpers here realize that. Hondo has to do what he has to do.
All the dems can do is let it sit and hope we? forget about it after the Super Bowl
I hope we are burning it down! Doesn’t appear the memo is “burning it down” as intended, but for sure it’s feeding the flames in an unintended manner. Whatever it takes.

People give cops the benefit of the doubt all the time. Nothing unusual there. It will take time for this to percolate if it ever does.
Having all the dems out there sucking the dick of the FBI will serve to keep some folks away from facing what happened.
We'll see. The important thing is that I was right

Actually the origin of the Steele dossier was the RNC.
That being said, the memo is nothing like what the Republicans said it was. And they don't mention anything about the result of the wire tap.

Good news! Nunes says his staff is preparing memo part 2 abot DOJ. There’s no way anyone is forgetting anything about this episode. What could be better?
They did not release anything that directly discredits it. But if this is how the FBI/DOJ was "investigating" it's safe to assume they did more stupid and illegal shit. They didn't release it. Yet.

Since Memo 1 was a THUD, Trump should find someone other than Nunes to do the heavy lifting next time.

The memo says exactly what everyone thought it would say. HTH
