You believe the commie liberals at Rupert Murdochs Wall Street Journal? Joel Send a noteboard - 03/02/2018 05:14:08 AM

https://www.wsj.com/articles/house-releases-gop-surveillance-memo-1517592392

But let me highlight a specific paragraph from the WSJ reporting for it counterdicts the memo / certain talking points.


The memo is critical of Mr. Steele and notes that prosecutors in their application for the warrant didn’t explicitly state that he was working for a firm funded by Democrats. But the FISA application did disclose Mr. Steele was being paid by a law firm working for a major political party, according to a person familiar with the matter. Redacting the names of U.S. people or organizations who aren’t the subject of an investigation is a common practice in government legal filings, designed to protect privacy.

This flat out contradicts Page 2 of the memo Point #1, bullet point A.

So who is telling the truth here?


Just more of Murdochs notorious "liberal media bias" yet you are falling for it yet again. REAL CONSERVATIVES are standing up to radical leftists like Murdoch; their Democratic witch hunt will NOT be allowed to continue!

Just reading the memo is indeed the best approach, I just did too. Legolas - 02/02/2018 08:20:01 PM 831 Views
I find it hard to believe the Obama appointees in the DoJ did not know where the dossier came from *NM* AgentApple - 02/02/2018 09:17:06 PM 412 Views
As do I. Was that supposed to have any relevance to my post? *NM* Legolas - 02/02/2018 09:34:57 PM 452 Views
