In early February 2018, Rep. Devin Nunes released a four-page memo outlining what he said were abuses committed by members of the FBI in securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant against onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. It wasn’t received well in most circles. Still, because of the release of the inspector general report about the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation and possible FISA abuse, the record shows that the Nunes memo was pretty much on target.
Nunes took quite the beating over the last three years from the press and the commentariat, including yours truly. I still think Nunes deserves a lot of that criticism. He is, after all, a grown man who thought it would be a good idea to sue a fake cow from Twitter because the person running the account was a meanie pants to him.
