POP GOES THE WEASEL -- BREAKING



The Nunes memo's out. Key points, via Zerohedge and the Washington Examiner:

The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the initial and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.
Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.
The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.
DOJ official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of 2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele's bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president.
As a reminder, the FBI and Justice Department mounted a months-long effort to keep the information outlined in the memo out of the House Intelligence Committee's hands. Only the threat of contempt charges and other forms of pressure forced the FBI and Justice to give up the material.

What does it mean? That, at the very least, illegal, lying warrants were obtained by FBI and DOJ officials to spy on and potentially overthrow the Trump campaign and presidency. All in collusion with the DNC.

Or to put it another way, pop goes the weasel.

You can read the memo here.
