Nunes Memo is Moronic, Juvenile Hypocrisy

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.
