The absurdity of the Nunes Memo
I am so furious at the moronic intellectual dishonesty. Of what relevance is it who paid for the Dossier? What matters is whether the Dossier is true. Am I wrong?

The GOP is
making the specious point that the Dossier was also used as part of the
justification for the FISA warrant, and therefore the Judge should have been
advised that it was paid for by democrats, as though therefore it was invalid as a source of probable
cause. This is an absurd argument. Police often get information from people who
are snitches or informing criminals and use them for warrants. I am not
comparing HRC or the DNC to snitches and informing criminals, but I am saying
who paid for the Dossier, or their motivation, is not relevant if the
information is reliable, which it was at the time the FISA warrants were issued
(because there was corroboration) and because having a motive does not make
information false or unreliable. Lastly, the accuracy of the information in the
Dossier was proven by the guilty pleas of the very same people the FISA
warrants were directed at. Also, the DNC having a motive does not automatically
make the authors of the Dossier liars.
And if the original people who were the
subjects of the FISA warrants pled guilty, doesn't that sort of prove that the
FISA warrants were reasonable and that seeking them was justified?
What a dishonest, hypocritical, juvenile
desperate argument by the GOP.
