https://imgur.com/a/JbCxwso if I'm getting the revelations right here, its;
The FBI's entire case to spy on Carter Page was the Steele Dossier, which was unverified and little more than rumors when they applied
The FISA application deceptively cited a yahoo news article to 'corroborate' the dossier, even though it was made from steele leaking info to yahoo news and thus the same source
Rosenstein and Ohr were well aware that Steele had a raging and documented anti-Trump bias and was a leaker, yet did not reflect this on the FISA application
The FBI also received Fusion GPS DNC/Clinton campaign oppo on Trump generated by Ohr's wife, but concealed from FISC the relationship to Fusion GPS and Steele
Seems like a veggieburger at best, like the really thin patties. The democrats indeed preemptively leaked the biggest talking points for damage control to defuse it, so what's left is kind of meh
Basically, the FISA application was garbage and they knew it, but it doesn't really go on from there.
well, at least it proves that parts of the fbi are not apolitical as they claim to be, and are willing to abuse their power to help or hinder political agendas as they see fit.
this memo is not the promised bombshell, and it doesnt discredit mueller directly, but it does discredit the neutrality of the fbi as a whole. so if, further down the line, the mueller investigation and potential impeachment proceedings hinge on questions of trust and impartiality, this might be a life-saver for trump. but such a scenario isnt too likely if you ask me.
