This is simple try to show the lies of the Nunes memo...nothing to see if you already knew how much bullshit the first one was. Steele is a top flight agent has a specialty in Moscow...attempts to smear him were doomed from the beginning.
It took too long to get it out to show how Trumped up (pun intended) the Nunes memo was the public's memory isn't that long. Most people don't even know about the recommendation to Justice from Grahm & Grassley...other than trying to smear somebody who sincerely tried to help the US that is the saddest part of all of this..I expected it from Grassley but not Grahm.
The only thing that will make this interesting is if after the Sunday news shows somebody leaves Trump alone and he Tweets this into a story. The real investigation is starting to get to the money laundering part...expect to hear from me again when that happens
Of Course Mueller could change all of this in a New York second...It drives me crazy that he doesn't leek....it shows integrity...but it is infuriating.

Here is a much better explanation than I can give
The Nunes memo’s core allegation is that the FBI and Department of Justice misled at least one federal judge on a Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act (FISA) court during the Trump-Russia investigation.
In essence, Nunes alleges that the FBI used opposition research put together by a Democratic political operative to go after the Trump campaign without disclosing that clear conflict of interest to the court. This was, according to Nunes, “a troubling breakdown of legal processes established to protect the American people from abuses related to the FISA process.”
In the key line, the application explicitly notes that “the FBI speculates” that Steele had been hired to find “information that could be used to discredit Candidate #1’s [Trump’s] campaign.”
That’s it. That’s the ballgame. The FBI clearly states right there in the FISA application that they believe Steele was hired to find dirt on Trump. Since the core contention of the Nunes memo is that the FBI didn’t do that, Nunes’s entire argument falls apart.
There’s more in the Schiff memo that’s important than just that one devastating point.The key question in an application like this isn’t whether the source liked the target; it’s whether the specific claims they’re making are credible. And the Schiff memo points out that the FBI had independent reasons to believe that Steele’s arguments were credible.
But nonetheless, it’s incredibly important. It suggests that Steele’s information was born out by the FBI’s own work. Citing him wasn’t some kind of intelligence malpractice, or anti-Trump bias, but rather the result of a source who has a track record of providing relevant, correct intelligence.
The Democratic rebuttal to the Nunes memo tears it apart
Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff brought receipts.
