So now that this turned into an embarrassing bust Nunes is saying we will perhaps have a slow trickle of memos released.
Trickle-down memos, the new republican strategy.

Ah, yes, because the far right is well known for absorbing progressive liberal values by osmosis.NYT Op-Ed section today/yesterday:

But that's not the same thing as Steele being backed directly.
I think this mess is what's being referred to.
Can't find it, though I saw a video of some of it before. When I use google, I just find recent news in the last 2 years. -.-

This memo totally vindicates "Trump" in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!

Rasmussen just announced that my approval rating jumped to 49%, a far better number than I had in winning the Election, and higher than certain "sacred cows." Other Trump polls are way up also. So why does the media refuse to write this? Oh well, someday!
As someone that leans more conservative and has a lot of conservative friends we all read this and thought it was nothing. I work with one woman who is hardcore into Trump and has donated lots of money towards his campaign. She was on the "this is going to be bigger then Watergate" train. She told me in 20 years I'd be able to close my eyes and remember exactly where I was when I read the memo. I sent her the link to the memo when it hit and she replied back with "that's it?". In watching a few reporters on Fox during the afternoon they all seemed to think there were a few interesting peices of information mixed in the memo, but nothing earth shattering. I normally don't watch Hannity because he is insane, but decided to watch his intro to see how much this overhyped memo ended up letting him down. Instead we get "BIGGEST ABUSE EVER". The tone was completely different from what I listened to throughout the day.
It was funny watching the Nunes interview with Bret Baier. Dude sounded beat up.
This might be the show he was talking about:
Your statement here isnt accurate in the first place. Its crazy how far the facts have been bent.But that's not the same thing as Steele being backed directly.

Fusion GPS started the Trump investigation in 2015 thru funding by the Washington Free Beacon, a group of Republicans. They were hired by the democrats in April 2016 and Steele came on in June.
Steele was never directly funded by the democrats and Fusion GPS and the dossier being funded by Democrats is a half truth at best.
Your post mentions Steele being directly backed which is completely inaccurate. Hell he was only using GPS' funds up until June and went it online from then.
The fact that there are Americans that read tweets like this and either aren't disgusted or despise the man is sadder to me than Trump can ever be. Why does America need to be respectable or decent as long as liberals are crying?!
I am really bothered by him referring to himself as "Trump" with quotes.

Oh right I gotcha sorry. The articles quoted don't really say that.I know, I'm saying that he wasn't being backed directly by the "political entity", which the tweet I initially quote implies/posted three articles that say nothing of the sort.
Thanks for breaking it down. I thought it was strange for it to suddenly grow so much.40%.

Unless you have strong reason to believe that Rasmussen's most recent poll is at all times the absolute underlying truth.
People like tax cuts.
People are seeing a couple more beers' worth of money trickle onto their paychecks.
It's what happens when you only acknowledge polls that view you in your favor. Since his presidency Trump has ignored 100s of polls against him while focusing on the very few that's aren't. Believe me, Trump is loved. To say otherwise is fake news!
Its Rasmussen Reports...i.e. might as well be Fox poll.
It's really funny.
Do people think he himself personally colluded with Russia? For me it was always maybe/maybe not.
He's met with a few Russian cronies in the friggin' Oval Office already.. so I'm going to say yes on that.It's really funny.

Media putting a focus on less important but more salacious news is hardly a new thing. They usually go with a narrative that gets them as many viewers as they can, vs the most news worthy story. Sometimes the stars align and the narrative and the most news worthy are one in the same.You can make jokes, but the media and everyone that wouldn't normally give one damn about what Devin Nunes had to say allowed him to take them over entirely for a week. Even now, you head to any of their websites and it's MEMO MEMO MEMO. All day, there was a box on CNN telling people to go read the thing on their website.
When you're pushing propaganda, I'm not sure how that's losing considering how many uninformed people will walk away confused or worse by all of this. The factions on twitter warring over every story were never the targets so even if the conspiracy nuts are let down, I doubt it matters. They got the casual watcher to pay attention and that's much worse.
Probably. Only echo chambers can't see the overall everything that goes on.
Meh, not really. Stronger than ever. It'll be another great year.
Agreed, he really comes off defeated in that tweet..That first tweet sounds like he knows he didn't get the reaction he wanted from the doomsday memo.
