Nuness memo falsely stating that information about the Christopher Steele dossiers origins was omitted from the Foreign Intelligence Security Court warrant application to conduct surveillance on suspected spy Carter Page;

There has been no accountability for the treachery. At the very least, they should become unemployed. The most...indicted.
