I agree this is a huge issue but then I ask Why in the Hell did they just vote to extend the FISA court?
That makes no damn sense.
The entire FISA system is ripe for abuse.

Simple. The MSM covered Benghazi, Fast and Furious, etc. with confidence that they would get the spin support necessary from the White House. It was a concerted effort by the Democrats and their propoganda arm to promote a "witch hunt" narrative.
In this case, they have a non complicit administration and know anything they throw out there will be proven false. They have circled the wagons and determined that the best play is to remain silent on the matter for 2 reasons. 1. To convince people like you that if they are not covering it....it didn't happen. 2. Those involved are all caught dead to rights and are angling for a compromise whereby they don't serve time which woud prove more difficult if their crimes were being aired on a 24 hour news cycle day after day.
The fact that you can't comprehend why the variables at play between the MSM and a friendly/non-friendly administration affects the reporting on this one scandal is astounding.

Watergate was a hotel break in that attempted to steal campaign info from
Democrats.
Then the R Government in power hid their spying by use of government power.

Good grief. I understand only accepting only what you want to hear to a certain extent but at some point.....
Sadly, you don’t. See your post history. See CNN deny Camp Clinton using Bleachbit and smashing evidence until the end. They will do the same on this scandal.

Why is it only the likes of Breitbart and Fox talking about this story, and with such enthusiasm? That really doesn’t tell you anything???
Why did every Democrat on the committee vote against releasing it?
That doesn't tell YOU anything?

Listening to the fringe media and ignoring the response of the rest of the world, and MY head is in the sand??? Sure thing, man.
Here’s an example: Wikileaks. That was huge news and actually very damaging. Some might argue it even cost HRC the election w enough undecideds. The “msm” talked about it constantly. It was in a different light and in a different tone but it was all over the news. Because, you guessed it, it was actually news!
Maybe this could change and becomes real big news, that’s possible. But at this point we’re way off from that and it doesn’t seem that likely.

Unmasking.
I see a lot of deflections about "The warrants were for Carter Page, Manafort, etc."
It's the unmasking of who they were talking to that will be the problem.

Too easy to acquire warrants to wiretap. Little more than a rubberstamp court. There should be a very high burden of proof required from the government before an invasion of privacy is allowed.

Tells me it’s not in their interests to release it, thanks for pointing that out Einstein. What it doesn’t tell me is it’s a scandal “bigger than watergate”. That’s the Fox News/Breitbart knuckle staggers talking.

Truth.
Props to Gaetz for blabbing about this on TV - BUT HE VOTED TO CONTINUE THIS shite.

You already know. Everybody already knows. The puzzle pieces have been put together. This will just confirm everyone's suspicions.

So we agree, it won’t matter???

You're replying to a corrupt statist. He doesn't see anything wrong with this.

Are you serious? Yea, they talked about it as they defended and deflected for her.

This is LITERALLY WHAT IM WORRIED ABOUT. Swap out the word Nixon for Obama and you have your answer.
Dear God in Heaven. Leftists really do think their political ideology is a religion. Can’t argue with a matter of faith.
