    it is true Gates' 3 defense lawyers resigned

    and he hired a new defense attorney who helped negotiate a plea deal for disgraced former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert

    is the witch negotiating a plea deal?

    Possibly, but we know that it was 100% factually accurate so posting about it being inaccurate is inaccurate spin. We'll know more if more comes out, but it won't make the facts change.

    You can't be this stupid. I am guessing that you were being sarcastic. Next time you are in a sarcastic mode,

    Use the sarcastic font.

    Friday the stock market dropped 666 points
    and the Nunes memo got released.

    Two indisputable facts.

    The gentle reader can only draw one conclusion.

    The Democrats rebuttal likely rebut all of Nunez memo....So nothing burger becomes nothing

    Well keep that blind hope alive, and I'm sure the spin will be that it does so no matter what it says, but for that to legitimately happen they have their work cut out for them.

    “There is a Russia investigation without a dossier. So to the extent the memo deals with the dossier and the FISA process, the dossier has nothing to do with the meeting at Trump Tower. The dossier has nothing to do with an email sent by Cambridge Analytica. The dossier really has nothing to do with George Papadopoulos’ meeting in Great Britain. It also doesn’t have anything to do with obstruction of justice. So there’s going to be a Russia probe, even without a dossier.”

    Memo is already a nothing burger, most of it is just bickering so ofcourse the rebut will cancel it out.

    Well that's certainly the far left blind hope based spin on the situation.

    I just don't see this memo derailing the Russia investigation. Not really sure what else it accomplishes other than muddying the waters in public opinion.

    I think it helps 45 solidify his rabid base of support against any other thought getting into their die-hard bubble. "It was all rigged! Just like our leader said! The memo! The emails! The Clintons!" (last neuron shorts out)

    Yes, but at some point you have to face reality. If someone like Trey Gowdy (who has seen the underlying intelligence, and is no friend to the left) is saying the memo shouldn't stop the Russian investigation, then at that point you know you have to be kidding yourself.

    I've personally never seen Trey Gowdy with a white hat on.

    I didn’t watch the Trey Gowdy interview. Fox has claimed he said there would have been no warrants without the dossier and they said it means the thing is a sham. I haven’t seen anyone else report Gowdy saying that. Help?

    I found this interesting because it talked about other threads of the investigation that don't get talked about as much.

    With the Nues memo a bust, get ready to start hearing about the "Shearer Memo"

    This will likely be the next attempt at discreding the FBI.
