The memo's so short, its interesting they choose not to reprint it instead of trying to add their spin to it.
From reading the actual memo, it's clear there's nothing in it that reveals anything detrimental to national security. On the contrary, it reveals top FBI officials acting in a way that is clearly not designed to protect US persons rights.
Hopefully this will be the start of a process leading to some much needed reforms of FISA.

Ah, but you probably already knew that, since picking and choosing which heavily-spun facts to reveal is how Republicans operate, isn't it?

- iron0012 9y agoThe sweet refrain sung by those "independents" who "aren't republicans" until the voting booth curtains are closed safely behind them. I wonder if you'll remember this disingenuous moment when you pull the lever for a straight GOP ticket for the nth time in your life come November. Probably not.
