Funny. Accuse me of "spin", and then weigh in with a healthy dose of Democrat talking points. Oh, yeah, the memo as released has set back the efforts of intel and security efforts drastically. NOT AT ALL. In fact, it singled out some individuals whose behavior may have been far more harmful than the Nunes memo.

I also suspect there's more to come on this. I don't think we've heard the fully story yet about how the Obama DOJ was politicized.

If you read real news (and not the fake garbage you think is news), you'd know that the three major claims of the Nunes memo have all been fully discredited (the dossier was the primary driver for the FISA warrant, the dossier was the cause of the FBI's Russia inquiry, and the FISA judge wasn't told the dossier was the product of political actors).
More spin. I know you fervently believe all this tripe, since you've sounded like a broken record for a very long time. So sad.
