Daily Caller: California Rep. Devin Nunes said Wednesday that he has finally seen the Justice Department memo that laid out the parameters of the special counsel’s probe.
Nunes, a Republican, indicated in an interview on Fox News’s “Hannity” that the Aug. 2, 2017 memo shows the infamous and unverified Steele dossier was relevant to the special counsel’s probe.
“Ultimately, that Steele dossier permeated all the way through, ultimately to the special counsel,” said Nunes, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee.
“I was finally able to see the scope memo,” he continued. “And remember, I had these concerns that it was based upon the Steele dossier.”
Nunes said he was unable to talk about what else is in the memo, seemingly because it contains classified information.
Democrats have tried to downplay the significance of the Steele dossier to the Trump-Russia probe. They’ve pointed out that the dossier, which former British spy Christopher Steele wrote and Democrats funded, was not the catalyst for the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign, which started on July 31, 2016.
The FBI did rely heavily on the dossier for some parts of its investigation. The bureau used the salacious document to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against Carter Page, a Trump campaign aide.
So this gives more confirmation of it, but does it surprise anyone?
How will this bad news be handled? Tune in to CSPAN and you can watch the congressional hearings where you’ll witness the obese committee chairman sweating torrents. He may be in for another trip to the veterinary hospital for fluid infusion.
Where’s the beef?

…does it not bother anyone that EVERYTHING our Government does now is double super secret probation with super high intensity coverings, even though it affects THE ENTIRE REPUBLIC AND RULE OF LAW?
…if it’s all THAT secret, it’s about you trying to cover up each other’s shenanigans, and is antithetical to a free and open society. Open it up with declassification, or we’ll be opening YOU up with pitchforks…

Dossier Result: _?_ (But it’ll probably be the same)
“Nunes said he was unable to talk about what else is in the memo, seemingly because it contains classified information.”
Why is it that true conservatives will accept “classified”, but liberals and other politicians won’t? Never mind, I just answered my own question.,
My real question is: why wasn’t Representative Nunes able to see the scope memo until now?
Awesome, for the 100,000,000th time we know Democrats are guilty as shit. WATCH, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WILL HAPPEN AGAIN DUE TO THE COMPLICENT GOP DO NOTHINGS…..

> it affects THE ENTIRE REPUBLIC AND RULE OF LAW?
Do you have the slightest inkling of what a “republic” is? Goolag it if you have to.
Do you have the slightest inkling of what “legislation” is? (hint: it’s not “regulation”) Goolag it if you have to.
Nothing can “affect” that which does not exist.
