K.T. McFarland picks a really good time to withdraw from her nomination as ambassador to Singapore.
Subtext here is that she apparently lied to Congress about her knowledge of l'affaire Flynn.

According to thethe, Flynn is going to be pardoned, so this is a big cuck move by KT.

So clearly Rosenstein is part of a deep state cabal. Right? Nominated by Trump on Sessions' recommendation. Does that make Trump and Sessions deep staters? Does the memo establish malfeasance on Rosenstein's part?
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
It seems to me that if the memo is in fact correct in citing McCabe to the effect that the FISA on Page would not have been requested absent the dossier, we are still left with a so what? It does not imo change any of the publicly available information that forms the basis for Mueller's investigation.
Moreover, if any of Mueller's evidence is tainted in any way (which the memo does not provide me any reason to believe) the relevant parties will have their day in court.

NYT reporting that the FBI's FISA request did disclose to the court that the Steele dossier was "politically motivated."
On this we agree. Page is a peripheral figure though an entertainingly enigmatic one. Inner circle only to the extent Pluto is inner circle to anything.
I would like to know what he was up to in Budapest. But that is about #87 on the list of things I would like to know about this entire matter.

Weeks of screeching, to what effect?
Good discussion of Page's and the dossier's place in the whole investigation. With a neat graphic!

"Bigger than Watergate"
I'm just going to pose "Bigger than Watergate" against "material omissions of fact" and let reasonable people decide.
Want to make sure I understand the position people are taking here. This is a nothingburger?

Not exactly but there are numerous holes to poke in it as has been pointed out. And it undercuts the far-right narrative of the past few months about this whole thing being based off the dossier. If one bothers to pay attention to timelines, they'll realize it.

There's also the pesky little matter of the claim that Steele was "fired" by the FBI when there was no formal arrangement and if you're going to say he got "fired" for disclosing his information to the press, or "leaking" that is just another thing that blows up the conspiracy claim.
