Where did Nunes get the intelligence that he gave to the White House.

He would not have been permitted to carry out top secret documents.

I suppose he could have memorized what he read in a secret room and then wrote a narrative from that?

But, is Carter Page the best that he could come up with??

Surely he knew that the FBI has had Carter Page on their radar since 2013, long before Trump even decided to run for President?

But, maybe that is the file that the White House requested?

Unless Carter Page is a "double-agent", as Malcolm Nance has suggested, then there cannot be a lot of worth in a memo about Carter Page, in my opinion.

So Trump is sending it back to Paul Ryan. You take care of it, Paul. By the way, the FBI Director says he has "grave concerns" about its release.

I'll see if I can find it.

On edit...Here's the tweet.... not claiming to see the underlaying intel
but speaking as if he's seen the classified memo (and undermining daddy
at the same... way to go Junior)

who was then on the National Security Council, the night of Nunes’ stunt last Spring. They were looking at raw intel.

He can't keep up with what GOP congress wants, what Donnie wants, and what he is actually allowed to release. It's a wonder his little peanut head doesn't explode.

Gowdy and Schiff saw it. Schiff is pissed and Gowdy announced his retirement. Nunes and his staff wrote the memo based on what Gowdy told him. That's why people are so angry. If this is wrong please let me know. Things change so fast, ya know.

According to a transcript, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said at a Monday committee meeting that only he and Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., had read the underlying information that informed the classified Republican memo. Committee members voted to publicly release the memo, part of a Republican effort to prove improper use of surveillance by the FBI and Justice Department in the Russia investigation.
