The controversial Nunes memo is out and one national security expert is decidedly unimpressed.
Bradley Moss, an attorney who specializes in litigating national security matters, has written a tweet storm in which he shreds the memo and says that he believes it amounts to a pathetic joke.
This is the scandal?? Moss writes incredulously of the memo. Are you kidding me?
He then goes on to explain why there is simply no major scandal embedded within Nunes memo, and he says that British spy Michael Steeles personal biases against then-candidate Donald Trump are completely irrelevant to whether a FISA court should have granted the FBI a FISA warrant to surveil former Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page.

Donald Trumps team cannot find the light switches to the cabinet room in which they conduct their meetings, and have to speak in the dark and feel their way out of the room, according to a report that sheds interesting detail on life inside the White House.

This is as laughable as the tagline "fair and balanced".

Either Nunes or I are missing something.

Its an ad hominem attack. Are the facts Steele alleged supported with evidence?

Key fact about Mueller: he is very close friends with Comey, and was the mentor and close friend of Rosenstein. Mueller is also expert at covering up for lawless law enforcement: see his role with Whitey Bulger, BCCI, HSBC, Waco, Noriega, IRS/Tea Party & Fast & Furious.
FBI turned over their NSA spying capacity to a private lobbying company in order to promote a smear campaign against a domestic political opponent. Fearing being caught, they appointed a special counsel (Mueller) to cover for them by accusing the man (Trump) who might expose them
Last addendum: FISA court was created in 1978 as a post-Watergate reform to PREVENT exactly what happened here.
