...a staffer for Nunes since April.
...formerly a DOJ trial lawyer in the Obama Administration
...he was dressed diwb by a Judge who called him "useless"
...tried unsuccessfully to get a job with the National Security Council

4. Dumb and Dumber.

5. I believe Kash Patel is also a Russian asset.

He jumped from DOJ to the House Intel Committee under Nunes at the behest of his Russian benefactors.

Russia has been quietly recruiting and installing spies throughout every branch of our government, right down to our Congressional officials and head of state.

Rosenstein and Mueller are pretty much our best and only line of defense at this point.

10. I o so much wish thats not true

But I fear it is.

6. According to Ari Melber tonight on MSNBC Kash makes

only $42,000 a year. How do you live on that in DC?

The other four staff members who wrote the "Memo" all make about the same or less.

Correction: I just rolled back my DVR - Kash makes jsut $33,750.

7. Maybe his parents have a basement that they let him use as a bedroom/office/bot warroom?

He gets his money for smokes from Internet ads.

8. Do these staffers have TOP SECRET security clearance? If not,

then how could they have had access to the 'source' FISA warrant?

9. Off to Google Translate to find out how to say "Under the bus you go" in Russian

Под автобусом вы идете!

11. Here's a thread on the dressing down by the judge. It's a thing of beauty.
