Ah, the Nunes memo.  Both sides are currently trying to spin it in their favor.

The Republicans are saying "A-ha, this proves what we were trying to say, Obama and Hillary used the FBI against Trump."
The Democrats are saying "This proves nothing, and puts national security at risk in the process."

What it doesn't show is the solid tie to Russia that the Democrats have been conspiracy pushing for over a year.  Or a weak tie.  It does show a made up tie that the FBI agents involved lied to the court about.  The question is if those who told the lies will take a fall or rat out their superiors.  There is little benefit anymore for a Democrat to take a fall for Hillary.
White privilege is being a lifelong racist, then being sent to the White House twice because your running mate is a minority.<br /><br />No Biden, no KKK, no Fascist USA!

That literally has nothing to do with a banana republic, so that's already knocked his credibility a bit...

You didn't expect sense out of People's Republic, did you?

You really thought a guy with Muslims under his bed and feminists in his closet was going to post a credible video?

My ex is from Ecuador, so watch it buddy... hehe. I’ll let pr126 take all the bananas that taste like potato; the plantanos, the burros;-)

As the story goes the OIG investigation is going to show that Nunez is a complete idiot. The report by OIG will exhonorate the FBI. (common pr126. The FBI is always expecting their work to end up in somebody’s courtroom. You dont seriously believe that they aren’t doing everything by the book do you?)
"Do you believe in god?", is not a proper English sentence. Unless you believe that, "Do you believe in apple?", is a proper English sentence.

Is that why Obama is looking into the Bush Paraguay plan?

Nixon should have defenestrated the entire FBI in 1972 ... and declared himself dictator for life.  That would spare us the spectacle of a partisan police state.

DON'T jest about that.  I heard the news in horror and watched the TV until my eyes bled.  11/22/63 is burned into my being like 9/11 is.
