Here's the Nunes memo in a nutshell...

1. FISA warrant issued for Carter Page (Trump volunteer, must be good!);
2. Warrant based on Steele Dossier (icky!) prepared for Clinton Campaign (crooked!)
3. Warrants must be renewed every 90 days. 3. Warrant renewed by Comey (fired!), Yates (fired!), Rosenstein (not loyal!)

That's about it.....

What's the omission?

I know of one

9. Nothing they've said denys Carter Page's long standing ties to Russia.

Nothing exonerates Carter Page or disproves the possibility that he might be a Russian agent.

Nothing in the memo address all the other intel the FBI had before Steele ever contacted them.

12. I thought it read like a roadmap of Trump's obstruction of justice.

I don't see how releasing this to the RW media first is going to play in their favor in all this. It just adds another layer of grime to their already obviously dirty tricks.

I might be wrong on that though but sure I have read it before.

I guess I'm forgetting the "but Hillary" part.
