Trey Gowdy saw all of the evidence regarding the FISA application. Trey Gowdy is retiring from Congress. Half the memo discusses the president's ability to declassify information and release it to the public. 4 pages of fluff.
We know that other materials included with the dossier to obtain the warrant were left out of Nunes account, and that a point-by-point rebuttal from Democrats has been suppressed. There is plenty else left out of the memo:
There is no explanation that FISA courts set a high bar for issuance of warrants and generally require multiple pieces of evidence.
There is no acknowledgment that Steele was a respected former MI6 agent or that some of his findings were confirmed by evidence provided from other sources. (Nunes says they were “minimally” sourced.)
There is no recognition the intelligence community already had Page on its radar screen as early as 2013.
There is no indication Steele knew who had funded the dossier (which was begun for a right-leaning publication and later financed by a Democratic associate of Hillary Clinton’s campaign).
There is no proof Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein thought the dossier was unreliable.
There is no proof anything in the dossier was in fact false.
There is no proof that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III or FBI Director Christopher A. Wray (whom Trump hired) had anything to do with the application for the warrant or that it affected their work. Both were hired the year after the initial FISA warrant request.
There is no reason spelled out why Rosenstein, whom Trump later appointed, would have intentionally misled the court.

Based on this assessment and in light of the significant public interest in the memorandum, the President has authorized the declassification of the Memorandum. To be clear, the Memorandum reflects the judgments of its congressional authors. The President understands that oversight concerning matters related to the Memorandum may be continuing. Though the circumstances leading to the declassification through this process are extraordinary, the Executive Branch stands ready to work with Congress to accommodate oversight requests consistent with applicable standards and processes, including the need to protect intelligence sources and methods.
Who authored the memo? Plural, who other than Nunes? Real transparency there, huh?

By so many of them aligning themselves with a criminal president in attempting to obstruct justice, I really think the republican party could be extinct (at least in it's current form) at some point in the next decade or so. I'm ashamed to admit I was a republican up until about a decade ago. What a disgrace.
And that they attempted to obstruct in such an obvious partisan, haphazard, and pathetic way, just speaks volumes to their collective level of intelligence as well. Let's hope they don't burn this country to the ground before they're done.

I know... that's the key point. It was Poppy... Nunes is such a clown and really, really bad at his job. He embarrassed himself 8 months ago with the other fiasco, and now this. Hysterical.
The Obama administration and the Clinton Campaign weaponized the powers of government to spy on it’s political opponent. They did what you all said Bush would do. It is all coming to ahead. Bwahahahaha
What you blatantly continue to ignore is the fact that Team Trump Treason’s interactions and communications with Russia, Russia, Russia was brought to our attention by friendly intelligence services before the Steele Dossier was even finished or known about. Now we also know that another memo written by an investigative journalist made many of the same claims as the Steele Dossier. Combined, three different sets of intel or claims, and there may be more as we don’t know what the Estonians, Australians and Czechs shared, made the basis for the FISA warrant. These facts don’t fit your narrative of the Obama Administration, an administration devoid of scandal, criminal investigations and indictments for a period of two full terms, trying to overturn an election. Thus far, you have been wrong on every claim you’ve made regarding Team Trump Treason and “nothing to hide” or there was “no collusion.” How stupid do you think we are? Funny you bring up Strzok, the guy who wrote the memo that reopened the Hillary email investigation just before Election Day and most definitely contributed to Hillary’s loss, along with an assist from Russia, Russia, Russia. Again, how dumb or stupid do you think we are?
Pretty dumb
That’s all you got? Keep going down the rabbit hole Professor. It’s comical to read your ever changing narrative of spin. You should immigrate and run for Congress. California ‘s 22nd congressional district needs a candidate.
Ha. Everything you post is one giant russian rabbit hole. I am starting to feel bad for you!
Are you denying what’s been reported and the existence of the Mueller investigation, Professor? Are you denying the facts that we know today that we didn’t know 12-18 months ago?
There is an investigation. There have been indictments that do not pertain to “Russia” at all. The only new facts other then that pertain to an abuse of government power to spy on a candidate and hamstring in incoming administration. Do you think the sentencing of Flynn is being delayed because he is flipping on Trump? The far more likely scenerio is that Mueller has discovered that the evidence he was indicted on was tainted by a corrupted FBI and NSA. Strozk, McCabe and even the judge presiding over that case have all coincidentally been removed from that case. Don’t fear Mueller getting fired...fear him discovering the truth.
Wow, it's like seeing a unicorn!
You actually believe this?
More like a retarded narwhal .
Point and laugh everyone, it doesn't get any better than this .
Yes everyone...get your last laughs in...before the tears. The swamp is being drained faster then any of us could have anticipated.
Whose tears exactly? You weren't quite clear on that, I guess that gives you some wiggle room.
The swamp will be drained, I just don't think it's going to go the way you thought.
Get ready for Mueller to drop some indictments soon. Maybe Jared Dear Boy or Hope Hicky. Team Trump Treason is no match for Team Mueller. Remember, Nunes and Gowdy are political and Team Mueller is criminal.
connecting dots is fun boys and girls! Three different FISA judges renewed the warrants.

i wonder what a Republican thinks when they look at themselves in the mirror?
Easy. They think: my team is fighting a corrupt fbi and Obama doj. It needs to be cleaned up. The fisa warrant was almost exclusively due to the dossier which Dems paid for to have fabricated “evidence”. Therefore the whole Russiagate investigation needs to be shut down.
Team Trump Treason has no clue. You ain’t in the world of Manhattan real Estate anymore bunky. And what other “world” experience does he have? Zilch, zip, zero, nada.
What a joke this memo was... now we can't say what classified information from it, but so far as I can tell it does nothing to damage Mueller's work. Even if you believe the letter of everything in here (including the overuse of adjectives and hyperbole), it comes NOWHERE near anything criminal in its accusations., And of course it unintentionally informs us that Papadopolous's mouth was the loose lip that started it all. No wonder BS and JC have gone radio silent.

Oh how very lonely it must be falling down the conspiracy rabbit hole, eh?
I can't even imagine the fallout this is creating in the world intelligence community. Will our allies even come close to trusting us ever again? They now have to face down the proof that partisan politics in this country are jeopardising their assets in partnership with the US.
How ironic that the dem black guy neighborhood organizer did more to protect this nation than the two repube white guys who bookended him, first by getting OBL and then starting an investigation into Russian agents meddling in our elections and gaining access to the Oval Office. Yea sure, repubes are the party of national security and fiscal responsibility. When will Joe the Plumber learn?
