I will admit I had trouble reading the memo because it is a bunch of gobbledygook. Then this morning I read how it was written by a staffer who went to a foreign law school and then couldn't pass the bar exam so he went to work as a Congressional staffer. Talk about hiring the best and brightest!
Anyway, Bret Stephens explains coherently why this memo is worth the paper it is written on from a legal perspectives. It is just a political rant. Why the GOP insist on protecting Trump when they have a perfect foil for their political goals in the Vice President baffles me.

And from the WaPo.
From the memo
“The Papadopoulos information triggered the opening of an FBI counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016 by FBI agent Pete Strzok,”
From the WaPo
That timing is significant, given the FBI did not seek authorization to conduct surveillance on Page until three months later, on Oct. 21, 2016.
So the lier in Chief, our President, is wrong when he says the investigation is finding nothing. If it was finding nothing, why have two people from the Trump campaign pleaded guilty.
And why doesn't everybody want to see Trump's tax returns?
