House Intelligence memo released: What it says

I am now convinced the level of research and verification of sources required for a college term paper are at a higher standard than that required for the government to obtain a warrant to spy on citizens.

So in the FISA and FBI world it would appear that it is ok to use a document to obtain a warrant that the apparent sources used to confirm or authenticate the document are news reports that were generated by information leaked to, or briefed to, the news sources cited by the government that come from the author of the document that is being used to obtain the warrant. Is it just me or is that not an absolutely absurd means of verifying any type of research.

I think your post is the original ... so I'll simply note here that it is now understandable why the Democrats and some in the DOJ were so opposed to its release. What a farce.

The most damning indictment yet
