that are blatant lies:
"The most notorious claim of the Nunes memo was that the FBI failed to properly disclose that one of the sources cited in the original warrant application, former British spy Christopher Steele, was hired by Trump’s political opponents. According to the Nunes memo, the FBI didn’t “disclose or reference the role of the DNC, Clinton campaign, or any party/campaign in funding Steele’s efforts, even though the political origins of the Steele dossier were then known to senior and FBI officials.”
That was not the claim from Nunes. Read the memo again for yourself.

"The documents also refute another erroneous point often made by Trump’s allies — that the Steele dossier formed the sole basis of the application to put a tap on Page. It didn’t. The applications also weaken their claims of partisan bias, since the documents confirm that all four judges who signed off on the Page warrants were not only appointed by Republican presidents, but named to the FISA court by the GOP-nominated chief justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts."
It formed the bulk of it, and Andrew McCabe and a separate Senate committee even stated as much.
The rest of the article is merely assumptions the author makes, not facts.
