ALL COMEDY IS CONSERVATIVE:
Rising White House fear: Nunes memo is a dud (Jonathan Swan, 2/01/18, Axios)
Inside the Trump administration, sources who've been briefed on the Nunes memo expect it will be underwhelming and not the "slam dunk" document it's been hyped up to be.What we're hearing: There is much more skepticism inside the administration than has been previously reported about the value of releasing the memo, according to sources familiar with the administration discussions. [...][T]here are a number of people in the White House who are fairly underwhelmed, and there's internal anxiety about whether it's worth angering the FBI director and intelligence community by releasing this information.
The bigger problem is that they are calling attention to the case for surveilling Donald and his team. If the FBI were the anti-Trump outfit of the Right's fever dreams they'd support releasing it.
