So Nunes is now basically fighting on a piece of territory the size of a postage stamp.
Curse them small fonts!
the application to wiretap Page did disclose that one of the sources of intelligence to generate suspicion that Page might be acting illegally came from a political source. It was mentioned in a footnote on the FISA application. Nunes was asked about this on Fox & Friends. He did not deny the point. Instead he insisted that it wasn’t good enough because the disclosure was merely a footnote. “A footnote saying something may be political is a far cry from letting the American people know that the Democrats and the Hillary campaign paid for dirt that the FBI then used to get a warrant on an American citizen to spy on another campaign,” the distinguished Republican explained.
Which is false because it's not his bias that is the point in question, it's that the FISA warrant never would have been sought in the first place without his dossier, which may be based on questionable or false information.The central, and most damaging, accusation in the memo published Friday by House Republicans is that the FBI failed to disclose the bias of one of its sources when it applied to wiretap Carter Page. “Neither the initial application in October 2016, nor any of the renewals, disclose or reference the role of the DNC, Clinton campaign, or any party/campaign in funding [British agent Christopher] Steele’s efforts, even though the political origins of the Steele dossier were then known to senior and FBI officials,”
Considering there was so much else on Page it is hard to argue "fruit of the poison tree". It sounds to me like the FISA warrant would have been able to be gained without the Steele dossier, and it was just the icing on the cake.

This is just the ******* issue, that wasn't there. The whole issue is there never was any info not some assumption that there must have been.To initiate surveillance on former Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page in October 2016, the government would have had to demonstrate that Page was “knowingly engaging in clandestine intelligence gathering activities for or on behalf of” Russia.
And yet in this situation such circumstances were easily circumvented?It takes months and even years to obtain enough relevant evidence for a FISA application, which can include details from physical surveillance, phone and financial records, items recovered from the target’s trash and intelligence obtained from other sources.
Except it wasn't because McCabe testified that it was this dossier which would have authorised the surveillance.So the FISA application would probably have outlined the bureau’s efforts going all the way back to 2013, when Page was approached by the FBI, which warned him, based on recordings of Russian intelligence officers, that he was being targeted for recruitment as a Russian spy.
You're making that call without seeing the McCabe transcript off a partisan memo?
He testified behind closed doors, so it's not released.
That's my point, you're responding to spin without seeing the primary source. The memo is a secondary source.
. Has there ever been a time when they weren't being aggressive/at war somewhere in the world?
Another day, another school massacre, another example of Alex Jones being a piece of human excrement.

They think they are still in the wild wild west! Their gun laws stem right back to those days and have never really changed.
What a disgusting place it has become.......too worried about what the rest of the world is doing, instead of worrying about their own backyard. All they want to do is fight each other and the other countries. Has there ever been a time when they weren't being aggressive/at war somewhere in the world?
...and it will probably never change.
Why watch him? It just gives him views
I do not object to someone owning a gun for self defence
Do we not need them here? That may just be your perspective. It may not be imperative but I feel there might be many people in the South Eastern and Western Suburbs of Victoria that disagree with you. Home invasions and car jackings have become rampant in both areas. The increase in statistics in the last ten years is alarming. I tend to think if gun ownership and self defence laws were modified both regions would not only see a huge increase in firearm ownership but a reduction in both crimes. I don't believe it would correlate to an increase in other crimes either.Why is it that we don't need them here?
You might better ask why humans are so afraid of each other. I think America's gun laws are comparable to a lot of countries. They seem to be the only one with a major issue and I tend to think it's more a cultural and neglect of mental health issue.Why are Americans so afraid of each other?
Guessing that means you live in a relatively safe and crime free part of the nation like myself. It's wonderful. It's not a luxury everyone gets. I don't believe someone should be vilified for wanting a firearm to protect themselves or their family.I absolutely cannot understand this unless you are in a war zone or third world country where looting and robberies are part of your morning commute.

I've posted it before, but I suggest you watch Jim Jefferies' set on this issue. It's stand up comedy, but absolutely hits the absurdity of the self defense argument on the head. If there are stats on how many serious assaults are stopped 'thanks' to gun defense, please share.Do we not need them here? That may just be your perspective.

It absolutely does. Gun crime drops way further than home invasion incidence when guns have strict control placed on them, as they have here. How many deaths are we seeing here, from home invasion or carjacking, compared to the hundreds of people shot previously? There is no evidence that I have seen to support gun ownership reducing serious crime. You only need to look at the incidence of home invasion and stealing in the USA, where they have guns to see it still goes on.. I tend to think if gun ownership and self defence laws were modified both regions would not only see a huge increase in firearm ownership but a reduction in both crimes. I don't believe it would correlate to an increase in other crimes either.
