End Game for the Memo is not Release ... Just Suspicion on DC, Dems and FBI ... [View all]
This memo is obviously a pile of bullshit, but it's one 'point' has already been spread far and wide without it even coming out ... to whit: "ZOMG FBI acted in Partisan Way to Go After Trump By Using Hillary-Funded Dossier For Warrants!!! ALL EVIDENCE NOW TAINTED!!!".
Sure, Nunes has gotten the knuckle-draggers dicks hard ... teasing them that finally they were gonna get their LONG DREAMED OF HOPE ... an ACTUAL WASHINGTON DC conspiracy!
Think about it ... after SO MANY CASES of the blue balls ...
Whitewater!
Blowjobs!
IRS!
Muslim Kenyan Manchurian Candidates!
Benghazi!
PIZZAGATE!
Private Emails!
Uranium One!
The Lost FBI Texts!
ALL pimped to high hell by Right-Winger Propagandists ... EVERY LAST ONE ... never turning out to be the orgasm they'd prayed for ... the base is already used to utter disappointment in the end on these things, so it doesn't really matter if it never comes out.
But what Nunes and Trump succeeded on without even releasing it (esp. with having a Dem like Schiff bust them for this change to the text) is casting aspersions on the FBI and Democrats in the eyes of the base.
Now the story will be 'The Memo didn't come out' because 'DC FBI Deep State and Dems!' ... that is going to be how they run away from it and never put it out ... and that ... is the final mission accomplished.
They are about nothing but making it so the BASE ... will (perhaps violently) refuse to accept ANY final findings no matter HOW iron-clad it is. Those suckers will be 100% was ALLLLLL a 'political conspiracy'.
No need for the embarrassment of putting it out, though they'll likely agitate for it for that for many more weeks and try to drum up and distraction and controversy around it.
It's really kinda masterful ... in a blood-curdlingly horrifying sort of way. Leni and Goebbels are BEAMING with pride somewhere ...
