Nunes memo reaction highlights selective surveillance outrage

The controversial memo released by House Intelligence Committee Republicans raised more questions than it definitively answered. Some of its most important points, such as the centrality of a dossier to the surveillance of a Trump campaign adviser and whether the FISA courts understood that document’s partisan origins, are already in dispute.

What is beyond dispute is that some of the lawmakers most exercised about the surveillance of Carter Page seem awfully comfortable with government surveillance powers more broadly.
