Muh national security

seemed like a lose/lose situation for him, might as well go for the avenue that his base eats up
---

Of course he wouldn't. Why give your opponent any voice in the current political climate.

So has Schiff actually read the documents he's rebutting? Last I heard, only 2 or 3 people had actually read through all 1000+ pages of the documents, and I don't recall Schiff being one.

Are you referring to the FISA application? Because Schiff is one of the only members of the HIC to have read it.
Gowdy is another, but I don't remember if anyone else has.

Yeah, not just the application, but all the documents that were with it. I heard about Gowdy and Nunes reading through it, but didn't know Schiff had done so as well. I'd definitely be interested to read the rebuttal if that's the case. No sense in only letting one side have a say. Let the people decide what they believe when they have all the information.

You heard wrong. Nunes hasn't read shit, Schiff has read everything involved.

Oh wow, that's interesting. Don't know where I heard that. Hmm

So like, Gowdy just dictated to Nunes? Seems kind of silly to write a summary on something you haven't actually read for yourself.

I assumed as much.

The Democrats purposely put compromising information just so Trump would have no choice but to keep it classified. So, now theyll cry foul.

His pages read it and wrote the draft of the memo.

Democrat leadership: Oh yeah, we have a memo, too!

*Trump denies the release*

Democrat leadership:

lmao

hopefully someone leaks it anyway. the nunes memo failed spectacularly, we will eventually get the actual unbiased memo even if someone has to leak it. trump is an impotent cow, when you make so many enemies by being a scumbag people learn to circumvent when needed

So looking into a bit more, I came across a video from a couple of weeks ago ( https://youtu.be/e5gWl8suYuY?t=1m37s ) in which Gowdy mentions that he feels others should read all of the available intelligence, and that he's the only one that he knows of that has read through it all. The CNN host adds in that Jerry Nadler, a Democrat, told her that he has also read it.

But I also came across an article that says,
"Nunes, the chairman of the committee, brushed off news reports that accused him of not seeing the underlying documents as bogus.
He explained that the committee set up an agreement with the Justice Department that would allow just one person to review the documents."

http://thehill.com/homenews/house/372119-nunes-admits-he-did-not-view-the-surveillance-warrant-applications-that-form

So which is it? Anyone can set up an appointment to read FISA intelligence, or only one person? I can't find any other source that claims what Nunes said that about only letting one person review the intelligence, so I'm not too sure what to make of it. Thoughts?
