1. How did this "fall apart" in last 24 hrs? I want to see the Dem Dogs out across all the media...

calling this farce out. I've seen Schiff, but that's it.

2. The memo

has technically fallen apart based on those who have seen it:

"As the New York Times reported Wednesday, the memo in question “centers” on a FISA warrant on Carter Page, submitted by investigators in the fall of 2016. This was one of two FISA warrants that have reportedly been issued against Page—he first became the subject of U.S. intelligence officials in 2014 due to his ties with Russia.

As the Times reports, the Nunes memo alleges misconduct on the part of the FBI because that FISA application relied on intelligence from former British MI6 agent Christopher Steele, who compiled the infamous dossier detailing ties between Trump and the Russian government.

People familiar with the memo told the Times that Nunes neglected to point out the FISA application “drew on other intelligence that the Republican memo misleadingly omits—but revealing that other information to rebut the memo would risk blowing other sources and methods of intelligence-gathering about Russia.”

The DOJ also shot down Nunes letter as based on "classified source materials that neither you nor most of" the committee" have seen.
