They voted along party lines to refuse to let the Democrats release their side. So we're just taking their word that their characterization of his testimony is accurate, because the actual line is "dossier information", not "dossier", which has completely different implications in what exactly he might have said.
oh C'MON! You're accusing them of fraud and lying, cover-up and whatever other sensational spin is coming out of the left these days. Dems didn't want to release anything, and now they're saying they had no input (again, their word against the Repubs). But they didn't want to release anything, period.... So that excuse just doesn't carry water. Now, of course, they want to release their own memo because they are in damage control.
Second, none of this is really new to those of us who have been paying attention and thinking this didn't smell right from the beginning. I think as a public statement of record out of an investigatory committee it's safe to assume this is factual and accurate. "Oh but they're cherry picking" - the statements in that memo are simple and unambiguous....and damning.
Like I said, it's a shame people are turning this into politics and thinking it's about Trump. THIS memo outlines issues with the FISA process, which HAD been a bipartisan concern in Washington and the media. But, again, Trump<=>drooling idiots.
