Some time ago, Republicans on our committee released a declassified memo that omitted and distorted key facts in order to mislead the public and impugn the integrity of the FBI.
We can now tell you what they left out: https://t.co/jeVCVTBUBZ

The Republican charge that the FBI misled a secret surveillance court in order to spy on Carter Page seemed to unravel with the release of the Dems' memo quoting from the FISA warrant. My writeup: https://t.co/SzMWk0tTG3

Schiff memo drops as Nunes is speaking at CPAC.

Devin Nunes is at CPAC, launching a preemptive defense of himself now that the Schiff/Dem memo has been released.
… almost like he knows he just got caught selectively omitting information from the GOP memo to deceive the public.

The Schiff memo says the FBI had independent reason, separate from the Steele dossier, to believe Carter Page was “knowingly” helping Russian intelligence, and that, in FISA renewal applications, it gave the court information that “corroborated” the dossier’s claims: https://t.co/etLYC722Zh

The Schiff memo also includes what the FBI told the court to get the warrant on Page. In one sentence, the FBI said Steele had likely been hired by people looking to discredit Trump. (It didn’t name the people or groups; this is standard.) pic.twitter.com/PDOJN7QEc3

President @realDonaldTrump on Dem FISA memo: "A lot of bad things happened on the other side, not on this side, but the other side. And somebody should look into it because what they did was really fraudulent." pic.twitter.com/PgEyKLAYEM

Wrong again, Mr. President. It confirms the FBI acted appropriately and that Russian agents approached two of your advisors, and informed your campaign that Russia was prepared to help you by disseminating stolen Clinton emails. https://t.co/G128SNicdn
— Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) February 24, 2018
Holy moly. The @FoxNews anchor said "Congressman Schiff, he ARGUES the REPUBLICAN memo omitted and distorted key facts." Trump just deleted 5 words from the quote to allege the opposite meaning. https://t.co/UlSQUcc0bD

No one believes you Donald because it’s a 10 page document so you have no idea what is in it. You’re our first president who doesn’t read, so it is out of your league. No chart, pixs or maps either. The document is both politically and legally persuasive to any objective reader. https://t.co/53LF1VkGWq

We shouldn’t be in the business of releasing partisan intelligence memos. But it was only fair to release the @RepAdamSchiff memo. There is no longer any doubt that Russia intended to influence 2016. Moving forward, our top priority needs to be protecting our future elections.

A #MemoDay recap:
1) @HouseGOP & @realDonaldTrump wrote a false memo
2) Nearly every claim was disproved w/ Dem memo
3) Public learns of new, unseen evidence in #TrumpRussiaCollusion investigation.
Enough with the games. We have a democracy to protect.

This is extraordinary for two reasons: 1) Every single thing he says is demonstrably true.
2) Politicians of any hue speaking similarly are still as rare as hens’ teeth. https://t.co/PID6XZiwQ2— James O'Brien (@mrjamesob) February 24, 2018

Blue passports are the go to litmus test for "Brexit stupid." If they've hailed that crock of tripe as a victory they're nostalgists and thatched cottage nationalists who want a Spitfire on every drive.
