The Democratic rebuttal to the Nunes memo tears it

"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.”

The Schiff memo argues that this isn’t true. And it has the receipts to prove it.
Schiff quotes a lengthy passage from the actual application the FBI sent to the FISA court asking for permission to snoop on Page. 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."

I'll disagree. I'm thinking that we will see that the F.B.I. had agreed to pay Steele, but reneged after he
Lied to them
About telling certain media outlets
Stories From the dossier.
And they Initially Claimed that the Reason for an investigation
Was Popadopalous, who somehow manages to go unnamed in a warrant.
There's more, but I'm not up for typing it.
Lousy night..
Just gonna hafta let it play out.
