As part of their 'muddy the water' campaign, the clowns at FOX

are trying to make a big deal about the 'memo'. Soon we may be able to read it and judge ourselves, but the main points have already been disseminated and it's clear that the Pubs are bitching and moaning about the FBI looking into Carter Page, who was DEFINITELY having contact with the Russians, That is their job.
After learning the facts we can figure it out?
Good luck. It’s not easy.
The so-called Nunes memo — an effort by House Republicans to cast aspersions on the Russia investigation — evidently singles out Rosenstein(R) for criticism. The memo, which may be released soon, suggests that he was wrong to extend a wiretap on Carter Page, a Trump campaign adviser.
The details are complicated, and you can dig into them in The Times’s coverage. The short version: There is no evidence that Rosenstein made a mistake. Page, after all, has had the kind of contact with the Russian government that should interest F.B.I. investigators.
Instead of evidence, the memo engages in the same dark and misleading conspiracy theories that have characterized other efforts by President Trump’s allies to discredit the Russia investigation. But the substance of the claims isn’t really the point. Distraction is the point, and the distraction campaign is having an impact.
Fox News and some other parts of the Republican-friendly media spend hours repeating the conspiracies, calling it 'Worse Than Watergate', and their listeners now believe them.
Same old Pub strategy, shoot the messenger, muddy the water and ignore the evidence. Why change? It works for the gullible sheep...

Bottom line is simple. The FBI investigated Carter Page cuz he was talking with the Russians AND the Trump campaign.  All else is Pub bullshit.
