So what is the real purpose of the Nunes memo? [View all]


I heard on today's morning shows that the TOP SECRET mark on the memo meant that the info was likely collected by the CIA rather than the FBI on intercepts of foreign officials talking to Page. The person suggested that perhaps talking about Trump or the campaign.

Gowdy saw the intelligence and almost immediately announced he was not running again. Seems so strange.

Also Gowdy made a point to say memo had nothing to do with Mueller investigation - to say that should continue even if there were problems with FISA on Carter Page. Seems so strange to be helping Carter's defense.

Which make me wonder why the GOP protested the FISA warrant against Page at all. And then today almost tried to minimize what they had done. Honestly perplexed.
