Mike Luckovich: Loud distraction
Man I HOPE they read that shoddy P.O.S. Nunes memo on the House floor tomorrow. Because Nunes is known for being such 'a smart man'.
Carter Page had been on the FBI’s radar “since at least 2013.” There were several – three or four – FISA warrants renewed against him before he was even part of Trump’s campaign or inner-circle.
The idea that there is anything scandalous or pro-Clinton about a warrant to surveil Page – a man who has essentially been a Russian spy for years – is nonsense. Perhaps it’s why, just today, White House officials basically admitted that the memo will be a “dud.” Others in the administration have “internal anxiety” about the president’s decision to release it.
Overall, it reveals just how desperate Trump and his Republican allies are to distract from and potentially kill Robert Mueller’s investigation.
If this is all they’ve got – if their entire effort to undermine the FBI and derail the special counsel investigation hinges on a FISA warrant against Carter Page – then they are in big trouble.
