So the pro Trump network gets the memo before the two anti Trump networks. Want to bet if the Democrats release an anti Trump memo CNN and MSNBC get it first? The networks have taken sides, all three slant and slant might be too soft and nice of a word for their reporting of the so called news. I don't bother to watch any of those three anymore. If I want their propaganda, I'll go to either the RNC or DNC or both websites.

I'm not going to pay any attention to the memo or anything connected to it. I'll just sit and wait on Mueller's report. I don't trust either side on this.
 
I'm sure they will proclaim that Trump has been cleared of all wrong doing LOL

My god, what a giant nothing burger. THey must really think the American people are stupid (well, their constituency certainly is)

According to CNN, the memo doesn't seem to reveal anything earth-shattering.

The memo tries to connect what Republicans believe was a flawed application to monitor Page to the overall counterintelligence investigation into potential collusion between Russians and the Republican campaign.

But the memo also undermines its own argument about the application being overly reliant on the dossier. It notes that the application also included information regarding Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, suggesting there was intelligence beyond the dossier in the Page application.

Papadopoulos was already under investigation for contacts with a professor connected to the Russian government who had promised dirt on Hillary Clinton. That investigation was opened months before the Page application after the FBI received information from the Australian government, CNN has reported.

I would hardly call fox news pro Trump. They have been extremely critical of him.

Which programs? From Fox and Friends in the morning until Hannity all I see is very pro Trump language. You might get an hour in there with Shepard Smith and might get SOME criticism during Brett Bier (SP?).

Shephard Smith and Chris Wallace still have some editorial leeway.

Ok but that doesn't affect what the memo actually says.

So coordination for political purposes doesn't matter?
OK, then the memo doesn't matter. See what you did there?

Your question is a great example of a false equivalency, a classic logical fallacy. Just because one side does something wrong is NO reason to assume the other side would be just as bad. Don't fall prey to making such assumptions.
 
I do not know what is surprising about the official state TV station getting official state propaganda earlier than anybody else.

So...what this means is that the FBI was SO good at supporting your conspiracy theory that they began the FISA surveillance on both Carter Page and Paul Manafort (both for their documented interactions with Russians, Manafort with pro-Trump Ukrainian politicians, and Page with identified Russian intelligence agents) BEFORE Trump chose them to work for his campaign.

In Carter Page's case, the FBI began FISA surveillance on him in 2014 - more than a full YEAR before Trump even announced his campaign...

...which means that if the FISA warrants against Carter Page are part of a conspiracy against Trump, then the FBI must have figured out to read minds and tell the future! Alert Alex Jones and InfoWars - the FBI can see the future YEARS in advance!!!!!

If it doesn't accrue to their political benefit, they tend to dismiss such things. Comey just did the very same thing. His attorney might want him to shut up just now.
