Fair take: this does not 100% cast the investigation in a bad light, only key parts

Memo makes clear papasoupols was already being investigated before the entire fisa warrant episode. So mueller still has compelling reason to investigate
Otoh, what this casts in a bad light is:
1) Christopher Steele
2) vetting processes for fisa applications
3) proper DOJ/FBI oversight of legit evidence
4) media for being complicit in gps story planting
This memo is not going to bring down the mueller probe. It shouldn't. It should discredit and maybe take down some key people however. And Steele should be prosecuted

i agree. i think everything i've heard from Mueller is even handed. he doesn't seem to be witch hunting and causing fear everywhere he sticks his head. let him continue his work unhindered, but lock up everybody that got him to this point.

Agree. It's not the atomic bombshell that some were hoping it would be. But what it should do is make any reasonable person say "hmmm...that seems pretty f'd up. What else could've been going on?"

The main issue is credibility.......kinda like a devastating character witness.
Posted on 2/2/18 at 12:01 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
The memo is only the beginning. More investigations are still ongoing.

That's a naive take. Mueller investigation is an extension of what this is all about. This is an attempt to destroy Trump by using government forces to do it.

This is taking a predictable turn
Let's hope Nunes and Trump anticipated this
Thankfully the IG report is still likely going to hammer the agency

Anyone who knowingly lies to the court for a warrant should have their entire history of cases questioned.

Disagree. He has had long enough. I was fine with his original investigation, but he needs to wrap this noise up, pronto. Whatever evidence of collusion there is, he can report it and let the chips fall where they may.

There are three more memos to come and the IG report. Patience, grasshopper.

Can't wait to hear their basis for this. Will probably be the sequel to the first memo.

Senior leadership at the fbi knew this fisa warrant was fraudulent.

I disagree. The whole foundation of the investigation was a political campaign opposition research report.

Would you also agree that the FBI's conduct in this deserves its own, separate investigation/prosecution, at least, then?
I mean, if Mueller is still relevant, what about this whole landfill we've just unearthed?

Am I the only person that has a significant problem with the DNC fricking paying for false information to guarantee a warrant and the Democrat led DOJ knowingly allow it to happen?

Not really.
Page was previously recruited by the SVR, and he has sketchy ties and activities.
Thus, from a non-legal perspective, Page was someone most could agree warranted surveillance.
The problem is that Page probably hadn't done much around the time of exiting the Trump campaign to be surveilled. So the FBI used a fake dossier as the basis of obtaining surveillance.
But, that wasn't the basis for Mueller's investigation.
So far, it's akin to a judge knowing a perp is a criminal but using falsified evidence to convict him on some other charge. And that's bad, obviously. But it probably won't be 1) morally outrageous to most people and 2) doesn't invalidate the Mueller probe.
