(At this point you may want to know about this guy, the person running against Nunes for his seat in the House.)

The memo is from the staff of the House Intelligence Committee to the majority (Republican) members of that committee, with the subject line “Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Abuses at the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”

The memo claims that there is a concern about certain DOJ and FBI interactions with the FISC (FISA) court which it troubling. Somehow that concern is listed as two separate items, but really, it is just one long sentence.

The memo complains about the Steele Dosier as well as surveillance of Russian Agent (an American working on behalf of Russia) Carter Page.

It is generally felt that these complaints are absurd, and that on even a moderate reading, this memo will expose Devin Nunes (did I mention this guy, the person running against Nunes for his seat in the House?) as an agent of the Trump-Putin conspiracy centered in the American White House and Kremlin.

Read it over, tell us what you think.
