Trump supporters and bots are brigading twitter with that hashtag over some apparent news of a memo showing FISA abuses by Comey/Obama.
Where did this even come from? Sounds like Nunes is involved, but it just blew up on twitter trending out of nowhere. Is this another distraction now that the NRA is implicated in treason?

(82,849 posts)But never underestimate the commitment of the flying monkey brigade to pumping a nothingburger up to the ranks of a scandal. A scandal with a half-life that makes francium look stable, but that then passes into the realm of wingnut lore to live forever. It will be trotted out from time to time when the public has forgotten the details and the fact that it isn't true, only to be refuted again and go dormant for another three months or so. This realm is populated by lurid stories of child sex rings in the non-existent basement of a pizza parlor, a story planted in 1961 that is exposed only 47 years later, or a mythical tape of the First Lady talking about "whitey."

What a sore group of winners we're dealing here. It's bad enough we lose the election, now they want to rub it in our faces by jailing their opponents. Fuck these fucking assholes.
