Mollie Hemingway: The Grassley/Graham Memo is Even More Damaging Than the Nunes Memo, and Obliterates Many of the Progressives' and NeverTrumpers' Key Wishcasting Defenses of the FISA Application

LANGUAGE ALERT!

There were several defense offered by liberals/NeverTrumpers (BIRM) to the Nunes memo, the most important of which was:

Maybe the Steele Memo was only mentioned in passing, but there was a whole pile of other evidence that would support a gross invasion of someone's privacy.

This claim was always a Magical Thinking joke, which was obvious to us non-conspiracy-theorists and non-magical-thinkers, because:

1, when the Deep State wanted to drop a bomb on Trump, they leaked word of the briefing of the Steele Dossier, not this alleged hypothetical supporting evidence. You don't leak your weaksauce crap. You leak your good stuff, not your chaff.

2, when any lawyer is drafting a motion, he includes only his strongest arguments and proofs and omits his weaksauce crap.

The very fact that the Dossier was included in the FISA application at all should have been a strong hint to the NeverTrump Magical Thinkers that there was no "stronger evidence we just don't know about" -- because if there had been stronger evidence, they never would have bothered including the weaksause Steele Dossier at all, especially given its problematic partisan origins.

And...

3, despite this farce having gone on for 18 months now, and Adam Schiff and various Deep State operatives leaking like sieves, this magical hypothetical "stronger evidence we just don't know about" did something no actual evidence in this case heretofore managed: It stayed out of the press, somehow.

But, proving Trump right that Americans are Dreamers Too, the conspiracy theorists and Magical Thinkers just kept pushing this narrative that the Steele Dossier was just minor piffle in the FISA Application, and that the Mystery Evidence That Someone Never Leaked was really the star of the show.

How do I say this?

I repeat... LANGUAGE ALERT!

Ace is right about the leaks. Anything substantial about Team Trump would have come out by now.

Can we indict some Dems already?

I'm patiently waiting, and waiting, and waiting...
