'Are you kidding me?' National security lawyer tears apart Nunes' 'pathetic joke' of a memo [View all]

The controversial Nunes memo is out — and one national security expert is decidedly unimpressed.

Bradley Moss, an attorney who specializes in litigating national security matters, has written a tweet storm in which he shreds the memo and says that he believes it amounts to a “pathetic joke.”

“This is the scandal??” Moss writes incredulously of the memo. “Are you kidding me?”

He then goes on to explain why there is simply no major scandal embedded within Nunes’ memo, and he says that British spy Michael Steele’s personal biases against then-candidate Donald Trump are completely irrelevant to whether a FISA court should have granted the FBI a FISA warrant to surveil former Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page.
