After a week of sniveling and bellyaching over the decision by the House Judiciary Committee to make available to House members a memo detailing alleged abuse of FISA and pervasive bias against Trump among some senior FBI personnel, Adam Schiff has now decided that since the memo is going to be released that he has to write a counter memo.

This is pathetic. But that’s to be expected. If the memo is all that ridiculous then Schiff should be pushing to declassify the underlying documents to the maximum extent possible. But he’s not and that is telling. What is also telling is that nothing about the memo has leaked. Which it would have if it wasn’t serious.

Read the last paragraph again. If there is anyone working at the behest of the Russians it is Schiff and the rest of the people pushing this ludicrous “collusion” narrative. As Chuck Grassley said earlier today this whole farce is based on information provided by current and former Russian intelligence officers and flogged by a company with deep ties to the Kremlin…that would be Fusion GPS.

Get used to this. Everything the Democrats don’t like is going to be the fault of the GOP colluding with Russia for the rest of this election season.
