The Memo Doesnt Vindicate Trump. Its More Proof of Obstruction.

[pbmus]

For weeks, allies of President Trump ratcheted up pressure to “release the memo.” The impact, according to supporters, would be monumental: It would shake the F.B.I. “to its core” (Representative Jeff Duncan of South Carolina) or it would reveal abuses “100 times bigger” than what incited the American Revolution (Sebastian Gorka, a former White House official).

The president himself said, after the memo’s release on Friday, that it “vindicates” him in the probe.

But it does no such thing. The memo from House Republicans, led by Representative Devin Nunes, fell well short of the hype. Its main argument is that when the Justice Department sought a warrant to wiretap the former Trump adviser Carter Page, it did not reveal that Christopher Steele — the author of a controversial opposition-research dossier — was funded by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign through a law firm.

1. I agree, but like Maher said or whoever wrote it for him said

it is a piece of paper with words on it that he and hannity and other traitors can hold up, point to and say SEE

Rosenstein will be fired during Justin Timberlake's performance because that vile pile of human filth in the WH cant STAND not to be the center of attention

2. NY Time: The president himself said, that it vindicates him .... But it does no such thing

When you can't fight the facts in a case then fight about how the other side got their facts.
All this made up "memo crap" just shows how terrified they are about what is going to come
out when what was picked up by the FISA taps on page.

3. Fox 'news' must be screaming "MEMOOOOO" all day.

The deplorables are in the next office with the sound turned up. They're having 'discussions'. They think it's the Pentagon Papers.

4. I truly believe

That the inciminating evidence is in the Oct 16 FISA wiretap of Page. Trump feels vindicated because he believes if he’s discredited that evidence, then he’s in the clear.
