RE: Steemit: ANALYSIS of Devin Nunes FBI Memo (verdict: nothing-burger) [dTube]

in #news7 years ago

@davidpakman - When I finally took a moment to read the memo, my jaw fell to the floor. Not only is the entire basis of their "argument" completely taken out of context, but at the end it negates the Republican/Fox News talking point that the entire Russia Investigation was instigated as a result of the Steele Dossier (which they incorrectly insinuate was funded entirely by the DNC) by mentioning George Papadopoulos and his conversation with the Australian Ambassador as the reason for opening the investigation. It's pure propaganda to keep the attention of their base away from the mounting evidence on the horizon...

Sort:  

Not to mention, Nunes didn't see the intel docs that the memo is supposedly based on.

Yes. That would not be so problematic for me if it was not for Gowdy running away from it in his public statements. Nunes claimed that Gowdy was the one that reviewed the intel documents in the closed setting because he was the most experienced of that circle, and now he's the one affirming his confidence in Mueller and the investigation. That in itself completely underminds the arguments of Nunes.
