Here’s potentially the most important paragraph in the memo. It appears to confirm the NYT’s scoop — which was that the counterintelligence investigation began BEFORE the FISA applications against Page. Papadopoulos was already under investigation. Wow: pic.twitter.com/VadOFVYAUH

So if the memo confirms that and the FBI “deep state” knew about Papadopoulos for so long why, if the “deep state” was hell bent on keeping Donald Trump out of office, did the Papadopoulos News never get leaked? Didn’t FBI have Papadopoulos news for months before election? https://t.co/AuJ1gepfoq

In reflecting more on this, I think Nunes may have just blown up the core Trump defense to the “Russia investigation” — that it was all fruit of the poisonous Steel tree. Not true. It was already underway. https://t.co/gUvGgSUyY1
