After the release of the memo that right had been hyperventilating over, the “bombshell” turned out to be a dud. While Sean Hannity and Donald Trump insist that the memo proves that #TrumpRussia needs to be shut down, even Trey Gowdy, the source of the info disclosed in the memo, has to admit that he disagrees.
"Not to me, it doesn't — and I was pretty integrally involved in the drafting of it," Gowdy told CBS's Margaret Brennan for an interview set to air on "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "There is a Russia investigation without a dossier. So to the extent the memo deals with the dossier and the FISA process, the dossier has nothing to do with the meeting at Trump Tower."
"The dossier has nothing to do with an email sent by Cambridge Analytica. The dossier really has nothing to do with George Papadopoulos' meeting in Great Britain. It also doesn't have anything to do with obstruction of justice."
Actually, Gowdy is wrong about one thing — the memo does have something to do with obstruction of justice. Just not the obstruction Nunes was trying to show. The memo shows that Nunes himself is trying to obstruct justice, and that Paul Ryan and the rest of the House Republicans are complicit.
Now tell me something I didn’t already know.
